Under the auspices of the State Board of Health, South Carolina is maintaining a sanitorium for the treatment of incipient tuberculosis. Having accepted the suggestion made long ago by Dr J H Pryor, the State is preparing to care for the consumptives within her borders "in the right place, in the right way,and at the right time, until he is cured; instead of in the wrong place, in the wrong way, at the wrong time, until he is dead." Leading physicians are of the opinion that every consumtive, if possible, should enter a sanatorium as the right place for instruction and treatment. Statis i/?c oVinu' that nntipnfja in sanatoria have twice the chance of recovery as have patients in hotels and boarding houses in the same neighborhood. It is the constant daily care and close observation of the sick consumptive and the attention given his manner of living, regulation of rest and exercise, by trained medical men that turns the balance so decidedly in favor of the patients in sanatoria. The South Carolina Sanatorium for tuberculosis is eight miles from Columbia, near Stab' Park, on the public road to Killian. There the State has the nucleus of a great institution. The plant at present consists of an administration building and two units or "Shacks"?one for men and one for women; each accommodating sixteen patients. These buildides are constructed especially for the treatment of tuberculosis and are equipped with modern lighting, heating and plumbing converviences. Every growing institution has needs and one of the chief of these at Ihe sanatorium is a reception and hospital building. It is highly desirable that patients be classified and grouped according to the stage of their disease. A few days' observation under special conditions in a receiving ward will facilitate such classification. During this period of close oversight, the patient will be thoroughly instructed in the rules relating to rest, exercise, cough,temperature, pulse, disposal of sputum, etc. On the other hand an infirmA WIT U A?rvi tol T1TQ1* I io T\ Arl f AIS 01J ul HVJJ/IIO". nui'1 10 UCCU7U iui the proper care of those who rel&pse temporarily, or are ill from an intercurrent disease. Tuberculosis is a disease characterized by periods of acquiesence and periods of exacerbation. During these latter occurrences, the sick patient should not be associated with those who are comparatively well. Such contact is depressing for the one and discouraging to the other. A special ward or infirmary, equipped with ail necessary conveniences, should be provided for the comfort and ^ellbeing of those confined to bed. Will South Carolina be derelict in her duty of properly caring for those of her citizens who suffer from a curable disease, which kills as many people, old and young, as diphtheria, croup, whooping cough, scarlet fever, measles, typhoid fever and i infantile paralysis taken together? WILL WILLIAMSBURG JE Strong Efforts Being Put Foi gressman Ragsdale, as th Between Him and Se As a result of the big: coasta storm that swept over Wiiliamsburs - - T 1 _ _ 1 A 1 COUmy on JUiy 14 bii truptj wen badly damage i nut not to such at extent as we find them at this time Had the wind and rain storm of th< 14th of July been the end of th< trouble, recovery might have beer simple and easy, but since then the heavy rainfalls and the baking rayi from the sun have at least doublec the percentage of damages to cotton As this fact has become more evi from day to day, so also has the ex< tent of distress and need among th< people of the county widened in iti scope until it was thought best b] some of our citizens to reques aid from the Federal Governmeni through our representative in Con gress, Hon J W Ragsdale. Natural ly the question arose as to how fed eral aid should be applied if receiv ed, and it seems that the leading citizens are in favor of applying i on the public roads of the county. To say the least it would be bac policy to hand out any kind oi haritable assistance to able-bodiec men, white or black, whose cropi have been destroyed. MEN alway! prefer earning a living by thei] brawn if given an opportunity rather than being objects of charity, anc we are satisfied that those Strieker I in this county would much prefer going to work on the roads at a rea sonable salary than to joining i public bread line and having charitj rations issued to them. The letter of the Secretary of VVai to Mr Hay, chairman of the commit tee on Military affairs, suggests thai if Government aid be extended the fund be used "in the main upon roac work as affording the quickest anc the most generally useful form of relief work" and that its applicatior along these lines be contingent upoi the consent and co-operation, as far as practicable, of local authorities. The correspondence below will 6how that the road working plan has met with the approval of Mr Rags dale and the secretary of war: Kingstree. S C, July 17. Hon J W Ragsdale, M C, Washington, D C.

Situation can be handled at presenl by local resources, with co-operation, Actual damages not yet fully appreciated. Main losses fall upon farmers and will be realized when extent of damages is more fully developed. Tobacco prac tically a totai loss; cotton over 50 pel cent. Deterioration is certain and wil determine final loss. People are hopeful and will meet emergency, but privatior and actual want in many instances will result. Will advise you later. E C Epps. Kingstree, July 18. Hon J W Ragsdale, M C, Washington, D C. Dear CongressmanTelegram of this date will indicate the condition of damaged crops, but the real truth will not be known for several days. It is now conceded, however,that the tobacco is lost. There wj|j not be one-tenth of the crop harvested. I believe fully one-fourth of the cotton will si. -J its fruit and leaves and die. The remaining portion is turning red, is scalded and cannot recover its life for some days, if at all. There is only occasionally an exception to this picture. The county does not yet realize the great loss it has sustained.and there are those who say the above description is that of a calamity howler, but believe me, the time is near when they shall fully realize the truth. m? i i 1. iL:. ...i... r - - mere are nunureus in tins eounty iui whom someone will have to provide, or they will starve before the winter is over. The people are good and honest and in another year would pay back to those who now render help,but I do not believe that the merchants and business men are able alone to carry the burden which seems about to bear down upon them. 1 do not want you to think that I arc over anxious.for I know there is no im> mediate fear of starvation,but the tears in the eyes of strong men and women who have seen their bright prospects turn to ashes over night impress the fact upon us that their hope is gone, and that they are depending upun others who probably will be without assistance to render. I do hope that my conclusions are ill * # COUNTY T GOVERNMENT AID? th in that Direction by Cone Following Correspondence nator Epps Will Show.

Hon E C Epps, Kingstree, S 1 My dear Senator EppsI am in re? ceipt of your esteemed favor of July 18 ana am very much distressed to learn of 3 the great losses that your people have I sustained. I received the wire irom Mr H E Montgomery asking me to have the Government investigate conditions . in your country, and I have succeeded in securing an order from the Secretary of ' War directing that a United States ar? my officer be sent to Kingstree in order to make a report. This could do no 3 harm and may be of considerable serv/ ice. I am exceedingly anxious to do everything possible tor the relief of your t people, and I do not want you to hesiII tate to advise me of anything that I can _ i do. * | Immediately upon the receipt of the ., information of the disaster that had i come to the tobacco growers, I commu" j nicated with prominent tobacco buyers, -! and I am glad to be able to inform you I that prices will probably range very ? high. Of course, with the destroyed t crop, this will not relieve the situation, but the more the balance that is left brings, the better it will be for the peo} pie. One of the biggest concerns in the , country, replying to my urgent appeal r that as high prices as possible be paid, 1 wrote me under date of July 18 as follows : 3 'I have your wire of the 17th and in 3 reply wish to advise that we have had i some information of crop conditions in r South Carolina since the storm, and re gret very much to advise that there has . been right much injury to the crop, but ' not so bad, however, as Senator Epps 1 advises. "For your information I advise that r we will be on the markets on the open. ing sales, August 1, and from the best information I can get, think you will see 1 the best prices in South Carolina you r have seen tor years, we iook ior nign prices in that section." This of course is good information, r Yours very truly. J W Ragsdale. t Kingstree. S C, July 24. | Hon J W Ragsdale, M C, Washington, D C. 1 | l>ear Congressman:?Yours of the I ' 22d has been received. Concerning Gov%' ernment aid to our storm sufferers, I ?, want to suggest that, should the officer ^ I who has visited the community report i favorably for aid, you take the matter 1 up with the proper department and see . if some way cannot be devised by which the aid will not come entirely free. If under the new road law we could get an I i appropriation to be used in Williamsburg county on public roads, thus giving > employment to heads of families and others in actual need of employment, a much greater thing would be accomnlicha/4 f-Vion fVin mora apt r?f phnritv fin pilowcu ? J the Government's part. You know that the negro will easily be ruined as a laborer and as a citizen, granting that they are such,if free gifts . are handed out to them. And the Govi ernnient must consider all sufferers alike if a donation is made. I know that we have no State Highway Commission to receive road money from the Federal Government, but if you could get a resolution through Con' gress conditioned upon a like amount | being given by our county. I am satis: fled that the delegation would pledge : themselves to provide the necessary levy and meet the provisions of such a resolution, could you pass it In fact, I would like for you to raise the question in Congress just at this time, for I think it : would be in the right direction and might open up a new channel of public assistance to needy communities. That our 1 people will need help is no longer a ques1 tion in my mind, but I have always [ doubted the advisability of unconditional aid in such circumstances as confront us. Think this proposition over and if ' it strikes you as a feasible thing to do, ' offer a resolution donating, say. fifty I thousand dollars to be expended upon the rural route roads, under the direction of the Board of County Commis' sioners, provided that the county pledge I itself to raise half the amount by a diI rect levy, which will be added to the | amount given by the Federal Govern; | ment, and expended as per the terms of I: the resolution. If you think well of the proposition, II you will know how to do the job. I ] have written hurriedly. The U S officer did not call on me while here and I missed seeing him, which I regret.

Kingstree, S C, July 29. Hon J W Ragsdale, M C, Washington, D C. Dear Congressman:?The County Supervisor and the Road Engineer wired their consent this morning for Federal supervision of road building in this county, conditioned upon an appropriation for the relief of storm sufferers, and I, too, sent you a telegram. I trust that you can impress upon the Government that we have not suggested this plan as a means to gouge the public treasury of funds with which to build our public roads, for the idea of road building is incidental and secondary. Our people are not sick and physically helpless, nor are they beggars; but it is employment which they most desire. The county's industries, dependent almost entirely upon farming, are completely paralyzed. The average iarmer nas aosoiuieiy uuimug m mc way of labor to offer the farm hands who cultivated, and expected to harvest, the crop which has been destroyed, nor has his more fortunate neighbor any assistance to divide. Yet unless something can be done to give these people employment, they will be forced either to get out and seek work, which is not practical, or actually steal for an existence. If the Government doubts that they need assistance, let it make the appropriation and then fix the daily wages at the minimum amount necessary for an existence, and if no one applies for work, then let the appropriation be withdrawn. If Congress could fully understand social conditions, labor conditions and the actual need which has "come to so many of the people in Williamsburg county, there would be no hesitancy in offering aid, and the plan suggested would undoubtedly be adopted as the most advisable. If you will refer to the weather bu- i reau reports you will find that rains ; have been continuous since the storm or | a few days thereafter, and the little im- j provement in cotton which had been j noted has since been entirely wiped out, and the plant at this late day mustnec- i essarily make a new start or there will be practically no cotton for the negroes I to pick, and conditions will continue to grow worse; and there will be no Congress in session. 1 Of course there is ample wealth in our county to feed the needy, if it were equally distributed. There was a plenty in Charleston when that city was blown away, a plenty in Galveston and a plen- i ty in all such places suffering such calamities, but unfortunately the distribution of wealth in such times depends entirely upon voluntary division. I am very pleasantly acquainted witn Congressman Lever, and ne, too, I believe, has confidence in my opinions and : would assist you, if you should need as- ( sistance, in getting through the plan < which you are working upon. If Congress will do nothing else, and there is no other plan, then get a direct appropriation and have it turned over 1 to the Red Cross association to be di- 1 vided as a charity fund, as the association may find need of, among the people : in the county. I sincerely trust, however, that you can convince the war de- , partment, or some other source, that the road building plan is far preferable. , Yours very truly, E C Epps. ' ( Kingstree, S C, July 31. 1 Hon J W Ragsdale, M C, ? Washington, D C. Your letter of 30th not yet received. Your plan outlined in letter of 28th to . H E Montgomery is ideal and proves J your ability to handle matter. E C Epps. Kingstree, S C, July 31. ] Hon J W Ragsdale, M C, ! Washington, D C. j Dear Congressman:?I am waiting ] anxiously for your letter of yesterday, i as announced in telegram received this < morning. I truly hope that you have worked out a plan by this tur.* and that you have in ?ight a relief fund for the needy in this county. Adverse conditions have j j developed far more rapdly than 1 dad! at first dreamed of, anc! action cannot be too hurriedly pushed if urgent de-mands are to be met as they arise. The tobacco market wi 1 open here and > at other points in the co inty tomorrow \ i and will probably show big sales, but I < these must not be regarded as an indi-11 cation that conditions have been exag- < gerated. Rather, as a matter of fact, J they will show how eager the farmers I are to get a little cash. The sales will ' be heavy for a few days and will then 1 dwindle and will soon be discontinued 1 entirely. This opinion is based on the ( knowledge I have of existing conditions. I want to say also in this connection that the few farmers who have a little tobacco to sell are indeed the fortunate ones in the county. A very large num- 1 ber have no tobacco, no work and no J prospects. t Matters have now become serious so i far as providing food for the noorer 1 people is concerned. I only wish that i the Government ofl'cer had postponed his trip for a few days, or that he could again visit our community. Deterioration in cotton and corn since his trip . has caused even the stoutest to sigh for ? the welfare of the big dependent class, i j [Continued on Page Five] j Candidates Cards. For Congress.
