Sanitary Survey and Rural" Health
Work Being- Extended.
i In compliance with the suggestion
-of Secretary Re?rdon, of the- Cham
! her of Commerce, and approved by
j Dr. J,. A. Riser. Director of Rural
j health work, and Hr. 1). T Rankin,
j Field- Director of the comity health!
I survey, arrangements have been per
fected whereby Dr. L#. Bragg An-j
Ithony, Supervisor of Colored Rural!
j schools has agreed io take over \\w l
! work of physical examinations of pu
jvpils of the colored rural schools of
j the county. Dr. Anthony is a grad
uate physician and will serve also asj
J rural visiting nurse for the colored j
schools, working under the supervis-j
[ion of Dr. Ruth Dodd, State Super-j
i visor of rural nurses. Dr. Anthony i
i will bo provided with ah automobile, '
and Otherwise given the hearty co
operation and assistance of the State
Board of Health. This sanitary work
fits in well with her other duties and
j does .iot conflict but rather add.-: to
j the value of her work as rural school
supervisor, of colored schools. She is
a competent and enthusiastic profes
sional woman who is undertaking
this extra work for the benefit of her
race, and the colored pupils will have
the dual advantage of a nurse who is
aIso*a. physician, and out* who has had
much experience in visiting nurse
work. Dr. Anthony, it is but iir to
1 say, has worked hard among the col
ored people of the county, making
talks and collecting or causing to be
{collected much money for the health
I survey and rural nurse funds. ' j
The State Board of Health will, ?S
before stated, furnish for the white
schools and homes of the rural dis
tricts a specially trained graduate
health survey nurse who will alsr? bei
provided with an automobile by the]
stato hoard of health.
It is not inappropriate perhaps1 to
add that there are hundreds of inen
and women in this city and county
who could afford to contribute to the
three thousand dollar fund b< ing
raised for the survey and nurse funds. |
tf $::..'!im? is raised by contributions,
it is*probable that with county aid.
and Xational and State Tuberculosis
Associations additional aid; and pros
pective federal aid, two rural visit
ing nurses can be kept on duty for
two years and a two year county
health survey furnished instead of a
one year program of education and
medical inspections.. Th'e second
year's program to be in the nature Of
a ''follow up" survey. This is a big
opportunity, physically, mentally, and
morally for Sumter county, and it is
a pity that there is not more inter-"
jested people than the comparatively
few who have contributed and \v'.;vl:-'|
led for these important propositions;
I The business men of Sumter .;ro<
undoubtedly very much interested in
[these matters. Sonic of the leading
business men have said that there
ought to be sonic regular head to :t.
soliciting committee* in this city for
the Sumter township canvas for
funds. ' While the Sumter f"ivie*
League and a few-of the 'men and w"o
mon of..the ruarl districts have done
splendid work and collected hundreds'
of dollars, nevertheless the Cfry of
Sumter might just as well, and can '
afford ;to take the lead to assure n'j
two year health survey and two rural l
nurses for Sumter County. If this
city has to furnish leaders and or
ganization to accomplish these ends
it might iust as well be begun rtow
and aSSfcre Sumter county these im^.
?ortant instrumentalities for eon"
serving health and life, and educat
j ing the masses, white and colored
bow to avoid communicable di~>- ises
and unnecessary premature deaths.
This is no one man job. Sumter
city should and can furnish the
leader.
Government soda Shipments.
Purchasers of government nitrate
of soda can have their soda shipped
out to suit them by payment of the
amounts due for each rn at $S1.00
per ion, plus freight charges. J"'ay
m-nts must be made to E. I. Reardon,
federal nitrate distributor. Sum tor,
S. ('., in either certified checks, cash
ier's checks, money orders or cash be
fore, soda will be ordered.
It.'is not necessary to wait for pos
tal card notices for sending in the*
money. The quicker the money is
paid over and the request made foi
ordering out the soda the quicker the
goods will be delivered.
Soda in less than carload lots, that
is in less than ten ton lots must wait
until enough soda has been paid for
to any shipping point to aggregate
not less than a minimum carload of
ten tons, to be shipped.
Some of the shipping points have
just <-n'"' gh or a. little more soda or
dere*1 Lor thos** points to make up a
<?? .jad. cooperative work among
urehasers at such points will result
i in all paying up and getting thcsi
shipments made quicker,
j The card system of notifying pnr
I chasers to pay up is rather slow an.',
uncertain, but will be continued as
i required by law. Hundreds of pur
1 chasers have been up to see the dis
tributor before their cards were re
j ceived. paid for their soda and the
I freight charges and have bad their
soda ordered or already delivered,
i Card notices arc senl oul by
months, that is if you ordered a part
I or of your soda shipped in March
; <?!? April the distributor can nol ^i?i I
I you :i card before the month s*?eci-i

[right to pay np and have his soda!

prepayments requires mucn tune as!
