BREEDIN What do you know about Flo renceIn a somewhat vague manner you have heard that Florence is quite a railroad center, but railroading is on the decline: even so, there are still a few passenger trains, but if you are planning to go some where it would be well to inves tigate about trains and buses. 1 am thinking about the out standing town m eastern South Carolina, it seems to have the name of a girl Florence. 1 do not know why that lively city of the Fee Dee was named Florence, and during the years 1 have wondered about the name, so 1 take the liberty to make a guess: I think it was not named for a girl. I think it was named Florence for the beautiful city m Italy: we may imagine that the city and county have suggested the name. Do you know the Fee Dee section of our State'’ You know uf course, that we have a progressive area that we call the Fee Dee. and Florenee has become the queen of the Fee Dee That is no casual title; it tells of the chief city of the rich and progressive area. Where is Florence'’ You know where Sumter is located and you recall that splendid city of Orangeburg. In the eastern part of South Carolina we have a cluster of very important towns, I do not mention till but give you a few of them. You know something about Hartsville; what about Darlington; take Myrtle Beach, Oeorgetown, Cheraw, an old Indian name, Dillon, Bennetts- ville and Bishopville, and now that we have all those towns in mind-Florence is the queen. It is no small distinction that Florence is now the queen of the Fee Dee. My little family and I spent Labor Day in busy Florence and renewed my attachment for the city. We spent a very enjoyable day. South Carolina has many ex cellent towns and rich counties. 1 mention above all a part of the northern and eastern sec tions of the state. 1 have traveled in every coun ty of the State, driving my own car. as well as riding on trains and buses, but whenever I am able to go again I shall have to decide whether to walk or ride a horse or share the seat with a neighbor. If 1 must ride a horse I shall imagine myself climbing the Andes Mountain on a little nar row path and looking sharp for a train of burros coming down the mountain. I climbed the mountain many times, but I am not the man I once was. PROTECTION FOR YOUR PROPERTY IS LIKE A SUIT OF ARMOR See your local, independent insurance agent first.

Gonorrhea is still on the increase with Green ville, Richland, and Charleston Counties heading the list, and although syphilis cases declin ed in 1969, the State Board of Health expects an increase this year. Greenville County recorded 1,910 cases of gonorrhea during the last fiscal year which ended June 30. Richland County fol lowed with 1,660 and Charleston had 1,600. The total for the Pal metto State was 13,235, an in crease of 1,716 over the pre vious year. Cecil B. Atkinson, assistant state V. D. representative for the Board of Health, said the 16 percent decrease in S. C. ’s sy philis cases is misleading and pointed out that the disease in creased by 8.5 percent in the nation last year. “We expect syphilis to in crease in the state this year be cause we are not able to find as many cases in the early stages,” Atkinson said. “There are only 12 investigators in the state now; two years ago there were 20. “It goes without saying that that the sooner we locate the infected persons, the better chances we have of controlling the disease.” People who think they have V. D. should go to their pri vate doctor or health depart ment for an examination. But Atkinson quickly added that few seek medical attention because they don't know they have it; they don't recognize the symp toms. For women, the first symp toms of gonorrhea are usually- painless. For men, however, the disease shows up through burn ing and discharges of pus from the male organs. “The sores of the genitalia which are a first symptom of syphilis are usually painless. On the female they often are not visible,” Atkinson said. Symptoms of syphilis are: primary stage—an open sore where the germ entered the body secondary stage—a rash over the body, hair falling out, break ing out in palms of hands and soles of feet, sore throat late stage—after many years, insanity, blindness, heart troub le, and even death Many people think they can get V. D. from toilet seats, door knobs, or drinking glasses, but Atkinson said the only way is through close body contact, pri marily sexual intercourse.
