R&nkin, county health officer in j charge^ of the Sumter county health! survey, and Mrs. Edith Stroupe, j county health.nurse in charge of in-! spections of" the white rural schools, j and Dr. L. Bragg Anthony, supei*visorj cf colored rural schools, and county, health nurse, for the colored people \ of Sumter county, is promulgating the j following rules and regulations of the j South Carolina State Board of Health! for all schools in South Carolina, The object in giving widespread publicity of these rules and regula- | tions is that the Chamber of Com- j merce has ascertained that the of- j Scials in charge of the health survey ! intend to rigidly enforce the same, and j the trustees, teachers, and patron's of i all rural schools, white and colored I schools should be given timely warn- j ing. Just as soon as the rural schools of ihe county open, and as they open ! I for the .11 JO scholastic terms, the county health survey oJEScials and ex-? perts will swing ihtd full forinatian. for a county-wide h-alth drive. ? , Thousands of dollars have been appropriated ami contributed by the j State Beard of Health, the Internat ional Health Board, the county of j Sumter. the Anti-Tuberculosis Asso- j elation of South Carolina, and the cit-i izens of Sumter and Sumter county! for this county health survey, and j campaign of education to make Sum- j ter county a more healthful and de- ? sirabie place in which to live. Dr. j J. H. Haynsworth, county superin- j tendent of education, the county board j of education, the State board of edu-! cation, and the attendance officer, j Prof. Hutchinson, will back up the health survey officials in every feature) of the rules and regulations. Dr. E. S. Booth, president of the; Chamber of Commerce, is very much j interested in and has given much of j his time to cooperating, and will con- j tinue helping out with the health! survey. j A great deal of splendid work has already been accomplished by the sanitary experts, nurses, inspectors, and engineer of the survey without any spectacular display or- much pub-1 licity. Manyl septic tanks for dispos al of household sewage and hundreds of sanitary privies have been installed CanHaye FbU Our, Glasses ULL vision is necessary to the fall development of human faculties.

But it is during the school sessions j perhaps that the greatest educational j and practical benefits are secured in a county health survey. Arrangements have been completed between Dr. Rankin and Secretly Reardon. of the Chamber of Commerce, County Agent J. Frank Williams, and Miss Alice Martin, home demonstration agent co operating, whereby there will be many public health meetings at different schools in the county for adults as well as for school children, and there will be illustrated health lectures fcr the school children and for adults a'so at schools, churches, and other public places. The colored population will be giv en the same advantages and oppor tunities as the white people, as will the children of the colored schools. I Dr. L. Bragg Anthony has done aj great deaI*of fine work already among; the negro population, and she will get in some high grade work among the colored schools also. Mrs. Edith Stroupe, the county health nurse, directing nurse work, has shaped up her campaign of activi ties, and Dr. Rankin and Mrs. Stroupe have completed their program ior or ganization for effective work. Mrs Stroupe has had several years' ex perience with the British sanitary ex peditionary force during the great world war. and was for quite a while connected with a famous eye. throat, and nose sanitorium_j>f this country, and has had much experience in so-1 cial sanitary and public charity work, j She is a professional graduate and j sanitary nurse, and the director ofj public rural health Dr. L. A. Riser, I adn Dr. Rankin waited several months j for this lady to be released in order to secure her for this county health survey. Dr. D. L. Rankin is an army surgeon and sanitary worker of years experience. Sumter county is fortu nate indeed in having these two prin cipals in charge of the health survey. All that is now needed is absolute co operation on the part of the people of Sumter county, absolute confidence m the health survey officials, and car rying out. of their advice and instruc tions. % Rules for Schools.

Anchor Motor Company State Distributors 212-214 W. Liberty St., Sumter, S. C. Items From Dinkins' Mill. Rembert, Sept. IS.?Mr. Jim San ders, an old war veteran, is critically i ill and is not expected to recover. i A daughter of Jim Taft Alston, col- ( ored, was found dead in her yard the | other day with her little child asleep j on her body. Mrs. Charles Jackson is back from ; 'Jlenn's. j Cotton is opening slowly. Quite a j lot may be caught by frost. The farmers arounu are cutting hay, \ which is pretty, good. i With some an agreeable person is j only one who agrees with them. I So long as you do his way you are i a tine fellow. The pioneers are the great of the j world, as a rule they did not pioneer) from choice. Uaniel Boone is great, j not because he was cultured, rich, etc., ? but because he was a pioneer. In washing be sure the inside is clean for if that is so the outside isj apt to be uecent. It is easier fur to talk pious than! to aet so. Who goes around cleaning up other i folks himself needs constant washing.; if for no other reason because of con- j stani contact with a dirty world. You can't afford fur,.your cow, hu- j man cattle too. to ruK at large. If I you don't know why it will pay you to! think it o\ er. | If your cow will not. lead then drive her. That means your boy or per haps your girf, as well. Jesus said: "Not every one that saith unto me 'Lord. Lord' shall en ter the kingdom." which is as true to day as when it came forth warm from his lips. if an idle head is the devil's work shop, idle hands are his tools. A great good man said "Keep profitably em ployed/' What is good for you is good i ! for your child in this matter, there-1 ! fore do not rear your children in idle- j Loess. You may be aide to do it butj j you can't afford to. Keep down the vicious weeds, for [?besides hurting you they may ir*?~.t I your neighbor's patch. Tell your success and the people will praise you; tell your troubles and they will talk about you. The reason some never talk of themselves is they have nothing to talk about. A fine thing to keep convenient is a; good blotter. "And J.dot out all my iniquities.*' "Hagood." Marriage Licenses. j White?K. L. Brown of Cable. S. C. and Kstelle Coudler of Sumter.
