SOUTH CAROLINA. \THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1»». NUMBER 7. Public Health Nurse . for Barnwell County Long Cherished Hope Realized by Lo- cal Red Cross Chapter at Meet ing Held Here Friday. M BUSH to PILOT sox Supreme Court Hold* ft For a number of years the Barnwell County Chapter of the American Red -Cross has done what it could to help meet the local needs of flood, tornado,] and earthquake relief elsewhere, while it met the needs for relief of ex-service men. They have realized that possibly one-half of those in the county who were sick did not get in touch with the physicians, or apply for treatment. The long cherished hope for a public health nurse was realized Friday from a meeting of the local Red Cross Chap ter which was held in the directors’ rcom of the Bank of Western Carolina. Due to the untiring efforts of Mrs. A. A. Lemon, who is the county represen tative of the State Tuberculosis Asso ciation, Miss Virginia Anderson, a na tive of Barnwell County, fias been at woik for a month. Here let it be un derstood that public b ea Rh nursing is entirely apart from private nursing. After a full discussion of the needs of public health nursing in this coun ty, Mrs. D. McL. McDonald, who is the Executive Secretary of the South Carolina Tuberculosis Association, en- teied into an agreement with the Barnwell Chapter of the Red Cross to put on a public nurse in this county for four months.

She has Columbia, Oct. 12.—The South Caro lina supreme court today upheld the constitutionality of the $65,000,000 road bond issue voted by the last ses sion of the State legislature. The de cision ended a long-drawn legal bat tle over issuance of the paper and made available immediately $20,000,- 000 for paving work in the State. The bond issue wa s authorized by the legislature by enactment last spring of a senate bill which passed both houses with a good majority, and which provided for the issuance of $20,000,000 worth of bonds each year for three years and $5,000,000 worth the fourth. The funds were to be used for construction of hard-surfaced highways and were’ to be redeemed from the proceeds of a s i*-cent gaso line tax enacted as a companion meas- uie. Shortly after passage of the bill, an injunction was sought by several mem bers of the legislature and individuals against the governor, restraining him brought to the hospitals severa} chil dren whose feet and hands are de formed.

There are really four featuie days. Tuesday, October 29th, will be educa tional day, at which time school chil dren from Orangeburg and adjoining counties will be admitted free to the gates. As has been the custom in the past, on this day the schools in these counties will close so that the teachers and pupils will have an opportunity of attending the fair. An elaborate school day program has been arranged with many features that will attract school people, and, of course, the pa rents and kinfolks of the school chil dren. Wednesday will be ,known as the “Sensational Stunt Day.” One of the unusual free attractions to be exhib ited on that day is known as the “bursting bomb,” in which a man is carried up in a balloon enclosed in a black bag, to which has been attached a long fuse which is lighted at the be ginning of the ascent and when the human bomb reaches three thousand feet in the air a heavy explosion takes place, which releases the bomb and causes it to explode and blow apart in numerous pieces amid much smoke. The man in the bomb falls to earth with his parachute and the spectacle is sensational, to say the least. Carolina-Citadel Day. Of course, everybody knows that Thursday is the Carolina-Citadel day, when the annual football classic be tween the two State institutions will be played at noon.

Real izing the necessary cooperation of the editors of the two papers published in the county, these editors were added to this general committee. In order that as ful! success as possible may be attained, Mrs. Brown was icquested to name as sub-chairmen in each sec- tioh of the county those who would as far as possible organize their* own \ communities and serve as a connecting link, under the supervision of Mrs. Brown, between Miss Anderson and those in their communities in need of pubic health nursing. To date Mrs. Brown has requested the following to serve: Mrs. Roy Still, of Blackville; Mrs. Ruth Coggin, of Healing Springs; Mrs. Ed Crouch, of Elko; Solomon Blatt, Esq., of Barnwell; Miss May Owens and Miss Belle Anderson, of Dunbarton; Mrs. A.

Since the announcement through the columns of this paper a short time ago that an adenoid and tonsil clinic would be held in Barnwell under the auspice# of the local School Improve ment Association, much interest has been shown by the parent# of children needing such operations. Arrange ments have been made with Dr. Pinck ney V. Mike 11, of Columbia, one of the foremost throat specialist# of the State, who will hold a clinic at the Baptist Hospital in Columbia Friday of each week, beginning on the 25th Inst., at which time he will operate on ten .children each Friday until all children needing such operations have been operated upbh. The fee charged will be the same as agreed upon by the local association; that is, $25.00, which covers all expenses of hospital, a# well as surgeon, transportation to and from Columbia, etc., for the children. This fee is to be paid to Superintendent W W. ('arter before going to Columbia for the operation. The officers of the association fee that they ate indeed fortunate in be ing able to (fhocure the service# of Dr. Mikell, who in turn has made it possi ble to hold this clinic in a well equips ped hospital, and all who are planning to have their children operated on are urged to take up the matter with Mrs. G. M. Greene, president of the local association, when a date will be set and all arrangements completed. Pa rents who contemplate going with their children to Columbia will bear their own expenses, the above fee only cov ering the cost for each child. ^ The scheduled two weeks term of ,the Court of Common Pleas, with Judge W.
