Meeting of Bumter County Medical
Society.
On Friday evening there was held
In the office of the president, Dr. B.
R Wilson, an Interesting meeting of
the Bumter County Medical Society.
Ae the president was absent, the vice
president. Dr. A. C. Dick, occupied
the chair, while Dr. Carl B. Epos
acted ae secretary during the absence
of that official.
Dr. M. L. Parrler, of Wedgefleld,
reported a case of mumps with an
unusual complication closely resem?
bling appendicitis.
Dr. 8. C. Baker gave an interesting
hc us?I on of several cases of cancer,
showing the necessity for early diag?
nosis and treatment. His conclusions
concerning the use of the X-ray and
r ?llurn in the treatment of this dis?
ease were especially timely, revealing
the fact that these two agencies
h-ve been very *nuch over-rated.
In this connection. Dr. W. E. Mills,
who hss recently taken a hospital
course In Baltimore, gave an Instruc?
tive talk on the present status of the
radium treatment In that city, telling
of the pessimistic view held by most
of the physicians there.
Dr. Walter Che no told of the
rather unsatisfactory treatment of a
case of skin cancer by means of the
X-ray. while Dr. Parier spoke of a
somewhat similar growth treated by
the same means with at least appar?
ent success.
Dr. Cnrl B. Epps reported the suc?
cessful treatment of a well develop?
ed case of traumatic tetanus (lock?
jaw.) The chief treatment used In
this seemingly hopeless case consist?
ed in large and frequent injections cf
tetanus antitoxin.
Dr. Charles J. Lemmon began an
interesting discussion as to whether a
certain very much dreaded disease is
realty transmitted unto tho third and
fourth generation.
Dr. Walter Cheyne read a letter
from the National Red Cross author?
ities asking for the aid of the med?
ical society In securing volunteers
should they be needed in Mexico. This
was referred to the president of the
society for further action.
Dr. 8. C. Baker made a partial re?
port as a delegate to the recent meet?
ing of the State Medical Association
held In Florence.
The society then adjourned to an?
other room where refreshments wore
nerved.

en on Monday when Miss Sidney
Klngman entertained at a progres?
sive heart party. The table? were at?
tractively arranged in tho parlor
where the Interesting gamo was play?
ed for a number of hands. When

Dresden embroidery bag. After
the games were finished the young
folks were Invited Into the dining
room where from a temptingly ar?
ranged table an ice course was served.
Each guest was given as a souvenir

EXCHANGE BILL DISPUTE,
SENATE COMM1TKK SEEMS TO
BE SPLIT.
Senator Owen Anxious to Secure fa?
vorable Report on Measure to Pre?
vent Speculation.
Washington. May 13.?An open
break in the senate banking; and cur?
rency committee promises to mark
Chairman Owen's attempt to have a
favorable report made on hia bill to
regulate atock exchanges. The bill
came up today before the committee
and later Chairman Owen said that
he had been authorized to make a
favorable report. Only seven of tho
12 members were present, however,
and those opposed to the measure
auid a quorum was not preaent when
the vote was taken and that the au?
thorisation to report favorably was
not binding.
Senator Shafroth afterwards said
that neither the chairman nor those
who disagreed with him were exact?
ly right, but that the committee au-,
thorlsed Chairman Owen to write a
report and submit it to the members
for their signatures.
Many senators predict that even if
the bill reaches the calendar with a
favorable report it will not be in?
cluded in the legislative programme
fer the present session.
The bill excludes from the mails
letters, circulars or other forms of
quotations of prices on any atock ex?
change which has not been incorpo?
rated in a State and which has not
adopted certain regulations. These
regulations require, among other
things, that before securities of any
corporation can be listed or deait in
upon any exchange the corporation
must file with the exchange state?
ments of Its financial condition and
other data relative to its business.
Many senators do not regard the
bill as llkery to become part of the
legislative programme from this tea
sion.
FARM CREDITS DISCUSSED.
Ruial Credits Bill, Said to Lack Ad?
ministration Support, Debated by
Congress.
Washington, -May 12.?The rural
credits bill designed to relieve finan?
cial conditions in rural sections was
discussed today in both senate and
house. In its present form, it is said
the bill will lack administration sup?
port because it will provide for the
purchase of rural credt system bonds
by the government.
The bill would authorise the estab?
lishment of land mortgage associa?
tions, from which farmers might
borrow money for productive pur?
poses only. A limit of $4,000 would
be placed on each borrower. The
loans would run for terms of from
five to 30 years. Twelve federal land
banks to be established under the
measure would handle the mortgages
of the association. The banks would
be expected in cities designed by the
federal reserve board and would be
capitalised at $500,000 each.
Senators Owen and HolUs of the
senate currency committee spent
nearly two hours with President Wil?
son at the White House tonight dis?
cussing rural credits legislation. At
the time they had not learned of the
action of the house Democratic caucus
In eliminating rural credits from the
programme for Ifen remainder of the
session.

ing was reached as to the woman's

been turned down at a previous Dem?
ocratic caucur this session. The offi?

Their Suffering Ended.
Hundreds of your neighbors are
ready to tell you just what has made
life new for them and relieved them
of the tortures of ill health, if you
will let them. They have used Mrs.
Joe Person's Remedy to purify their
blood and enrich the life-giving fluid
so that all the bodily functions could
work properly. When that was done,
and the organs got a chance to do
their work, Nature cleared up their
troubles, so that they are now well.
It doesn't much matter whether the
trouble is laid on the digestion, the
nerves or the skin. Back of it all is
the fact that the blood is either not
good enough or is positively poison?
ed. Of course you cannot get well, di?
gest what you eat or rest in sleep, as
long as what ought to give your
nerves tone and your digestion ener?
gy and strength is poisoned every min?
ute of the day. Get the blood right.
Moses said "It Is the life." When the
blood is right you live.
Here is what one of your neigh?
bors declares: "A few years ago I
was a terrible sufferer from blood
poison. If tho skin would be broken
from any cause the flesh would be?
come Inflamed, would itch and burn
and develop in sores. Mrs. Joe Per?
son persuaded me to use her remedy.
I bought a dozen bottles and it cured
me." Mrs. G. P. Medlin, Weldon, N.
