How many estimated cases oVtuber- culosis are there in Barnwell County with its population of 23,300 pebple ? The answer to this is 162 estimated cases, with 18 deaths each year. How ever careful these patients may be, each case is a serious danger to others who come into contact with these suf- ferjers. This disease spreads from person to person. The most cf these estimated cases in Barnwell County art not under any treatment whatever and are living in close contact with mem bers of their families and their neigh- bobrs with no forms of precaution. In this county some families, in which tu berculosis attacked one member, were completely wiped out by it. Now it can be cured, provided it is taken in time by those who are specialists in its diagnosis and cure. Some people are more than others constitutionally and physically predisposed toward it. On December 3, 4 and 5, free chest clinics, under the auspices of the State Anti-Tuberculosis Association, will be held at three locations in the county, for free examination of those who have been in contact with known cases of tuberculosis, or who are of pre-tu- bercular tendencies. 'These clinics will be condifcted by Dr. L. F. Hall, of the State Park Sanitarium in Columbia, who is the State specialist in this line. The towns in which it is planned to hold these clinics are Willison, Black- ville and Barnwell. More complete in formation will be given later. The general plan is to take the white pa tients from 9:00 a. m. till 12:30 p. m. ?n some selected building, and the col- ASSISTANT TO HYDE 5 Barnwell Residence Is Damaged by Fire Home of Mr. and Mrs. R.
