QUARTERLY STATEMENT Of Commissioners of Public Works for Town of Banrwd for Quarter End ing September 30th, 1928: Receipts, Lights - Water $5,078.08 Disbursements: Bank $473.88 Seven banks closed in one South Carolina County in one day! Surely the Americani people should give thanks for this Republican prosperity, without which there is no telling what might happen! Herbert Hoover is to make a good will visit to South American countries. Ah, well, he has always shown more interest in foreign countries that he has in his native land. A New Treasure Search Begins. Now a copy of Edgar Alltti Poe * first published work, “Tamerlane and Other Poemes, By a Bostonian,” sj rare that no copy is in the Library of Congress, is reported to have, been sold for a pri:e in excess of $20,000. This event ushers in a new “treasure search” in America. For now that American authors’ first editions aie beginning to fetch big prices, every farmhouse presents an opportunty. Somewhere in the attic there may be a volume worth thousands. From Shakespeare to Lewis Car- roll, first editions of English authors have beer- sold for fabulous sums. In comparison, $20,000 Is paltry, but col lectors always search th<< libraries and museums of oth«r countries before they fall back on those of their own. The antique furniture i f Europe was eagerly bid up l»efore our farmhouses were ransacked to yield their tuas-i ures and we realized that Americani artiques could command a rich market. We are off for a real start, with *Vea) money being paid for an Ameri- can firat edition. Poe is in the lea;! as only aix copies of his first book arj known to exist. Other sereationa! j firat edition aales are sure to follow— and throughout the land, unknown to them selves, are men vho-e oook- 1 shelves hold treaauies that will some day enrich them. ffiO CROSS FIGHTS DEATHAND DISEASE Four Nation-wide Services Pro mote Health Preservation and Accident Prevention. Red Cross Membership Is Sound Investment, Business Leader Says “We believe that Individual mem bership In the American Red Cross is a somr’ investment, yielding the investor tremendous returns in per sonal satisfaction,” !s the statement of William Butterworth, president of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, in endorsing the twelfth annual roll call of the American Red Cross, Nov. 11-29. Mr. Butterworth’s statement fol low’s : “The men engaged In carrying forward the business anti industry. of this nation are quick to respond, and respond generously, when hu man suffering calls for their assist ance. They welcome the existence of an organization authorized by Internationa! treaty and congres sional charter to act as their agency, and the agency of all the people, in providing relief in dis aster and promoting their beneficial services to humanity. The nation s business men take particular pleas ure in supporting The American National Red Cross because it has applied sound and efficient business technique and administrative meth ods without sacrifice of sympathy and understanding in the preven tion and mitigation of human suf fering. “The- Chamber of Commerce of the United States, as representative of the nation's business, has such confidence in the American Red Cross that It calls upon its member organizations to contribute to re lief in disaster only upon Red Cross assurance that an appeal is nec essary. “We believe that individual mem bership in the American Red Cross is a sound investment, yielding the investor tremendous returns in per sonal satisfaction. The Red Cross is seeking to inc rease its member ship to five million; the opportu nlty to join its ranks Is presented by the Red Cross Chapters through out the nation from November 11 to 29. It is good to be a link In this great chain of service reach ing around the world.” (Signed! WILLIAM BU ITER WORTH, President The-Chamber of Commerce of the United States. J. N.

IA nation-wide program for preser vation of health and prevention of ac cidental death la one of the great ser vices of the American Red Cross Four toureaus, mauned by experts, direct thla work. They are the Public Health Nursing Service; the First Aid and Life Saving Service: the Home Hy giene and Care of the j3ick Service, and the Nutrition Service. These services aim at preservation of health through skilled nursing care; prevention of loss of life in accidents; prevention of Illness, through cleanli sesa in the home and knowledge of methods of care of the sick; and rais ing the standard of physical efficiency through proper eating. This nation-wide campaign against disease and accidental death is «con- ducted through a majority of the 3.532 Chapters of the Rod Cross. It Is a community campai^a, fitted to the health problems of each section. The Red Cross, through its Chap ters, is the largest employer of trained Public Health nurses in rural work in the United States. In its campaign for preservation of healto and preven tion of disease it has aided in estab lishing 2,000 or more community nurs ing services. At the national headquarters an en rollment of nurses is maintained, •which forms a groat nursing reserve. Under Its Charter from Congress this Med Cross Nursing Service is the offl- dal reserve for the United States Army and Navy Nurse Corps, in add!- these nurses are available in of disaster or epidemic. This re- re list of trained nurses has in 1928 its peak in number enrolled— being now 47,000 nurses quail* under Red Cross regulations who £e mobilised in time of emer* comprehensive, nation-wide pro» of instruction in Firat Aid and Saving maintained hy the Red i ,1a la aasupr to the appaUinf •t aoddantal deaths each year Scientific Exploration of China la Planned Washington.—Ambitious plans for the scientific exploration of China, where rich stores of knowledge have long been buried beneath an accumu lation of oriental mysticism and su l>erstition, have been projected by the National Research Institute organized by the new nationalist government. Dr. Chi LI, field archeologist of the Freer gallery, which is administered by the Smithsonian institution, was the first of 36 outstanding Chinese scientists appointed to membership in the new institute. Here on a brief visit, he expressed confidence that the next ten or twenty years would see a great development in ail the sciences In his country. The institute has organized an ex peditiou to study the geology, paleon tology, zoology and botany of the province of Kwang Si. It hopes to be able to make similar explorations in every province and eventually to in elude anthropology and archeology In the Investigations. Owing to the religious scruples ot the Chinese. Doctor LI explained, a long process of popular education will be necessary before attempting the regular Investigation of old tombs, and for the present excavations will have to be confined to ancient village sites which are not likely to contain the bones of ancestors. Moved All Port* Inland In ancient times so terribly did the Sva rovers infest the Chinese coast that one emperor with a stroke of his vermilion brush solved the problem by ordering all seaports to move Inland 20 mlies. Vast popula tions and great cities were moved from the mouths of rivers by this one act Old walls and dwellings were abandoned; new walls and properties war*.set up. Tfya old sites were used as observa tion ’points, and fortresses were lo cated near them, so that It was no t longer possible for a fleet to descend ! without warning upon the Inhabitants of an unsuspecting dty. This Is wby. today there are no porta on the actual seacoast of China. State of South Carolina, County of BarpwelL Town of Barnwell.
