ROBT. D. KITCHENS ATTEMPTS SUICIDE Deependency Caused From Bad Health is Said To Be The Cause of Rash Act?Election to Vote Bonds Was Defeated. Jonesville, June 10.?Mr. Robert D. Kitchens, who lives on Mr. D. B. Free's place three miles west of Jonesville attempted suicide Sunday night by shooting himself with a'32 Smith & Wesson pistol, the ball entered his breast and passed tkmiiirh Kio 11 ?mwj auu aiivu vuc WM1I ; of the house. Dr. Hames is attending him and says his wound is not fatal, unless pneumonia develops or blood poison. The doctor thinks the ball missed the heart. Mr. Kitchens shot himself accidently with a shot gun several years ago, by which he lost his left arm and his health of late has been bad and he got very despondent, having a wife and four children and his mind became affected which is no doubt the cause of his rash act. The election last week for a thirty thousand dollar issue of bonds for the town of Jonesville for the purpose of installing water works and light was badly defeated. The voters rltrln 'f ooa*m 1* * ?J?- *- ? uiuu v jytni mi ire icnuf iur sucn a step at the present. Rev. R. W. Spigner, of Kingstree, S. C., spent a day and night last week with friends in Jonesville, he was on his way to Wofford commencement. Chief of Police McKissick pulled three Sunday sinners last Sunday They were from Buffalo, and came to Jonesville to attend a wedding. Their names are Dock Deason, JimFrost and Hogan. Deason was carrying a 44 Smith and Wesson pistol in a scabbard over^his shoulder and he tried to pull his gun on McKissick, but Mack got a good hold on it and wrenched it from the man. Mayor Scott fined Deason twenty-five dollars and excused the other two men. Of course the pistol is forfeited. It seems to this writer that the gun was rather a novel thine- to he worn to a wedding, but I guess they could be pulled from < many a hip pocket in the churches, court houses and social gatherings. The rains have been heavy in this country and have done much damage to the land and crops and now the cold winter-like weather that follows is a great back set to the farmers. Miss Lizzie Coleman and Mr. Joe Frost were married last Sunday at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Coleman. Rev. W. H. Ariail performed the ceremony. Telephone. Jonesville Defeats Union. In a pitcher's battle Jonesville defeated Union 4 to 3. Both pitchers drew sensational support. Soenser was steadier with men on bases. In the seventh an error, a hit followed by a double by McWhirter cinched the game. A phenomenal catch by Addist featured the game.

May 22, 1913, in Greenville, S. C., under the auspices of the Greenville Board of Health. The State health officers and secretary of the State Board of Health presided at the meeting and made a few welcoming remarks to the visitinsr delegates. Dr. Wm. Egleston, of Hartsville, made the first address of the evening, his subject being "Sanitation in Small Towns." Dr. Egleston said in part: Better sanitary conditions for the small towns of this state are absolutely imperative if our people are to keep pace with the wonderful progress in public 'health matters which the country has witnessed in the past decade. The success of sanitation in any community is dependent almost entirely on the support accorded by those in authority. Sanitary laws should be enforced as vigorously as any others. There can be no question as to the necessity for vigorous and stern enforcement of all regulations dealing in a general way with public health. (Here Dr. Egleston gave some mortality statistics.) By the term general cleanliness is meant the appearance of the streets, the squares, and the parks of. the town. This is very simple and inexpensive to attain and it gives a wonderfully good impression and is a great stimulant toward cleanliness of private property. Our small towns are rapidly establishing their municipal water systems and under our present laws this insures pure water for the inhabitants. Periodical examinations of the water should be made. (The water SUDdIv of Union la PYamineH nnoo every three months. Municipal sewerage systems in connection with the water supply make an easy .matter of the problem of sewerage disposal. Every town should compell its m^at markets to be clean in appearance and clean in the manner of displaying and handling meat for sale. Dr. Ernest Kelly, in charge of the market milk investigation, j Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C., spoke on "Clean Milk Production." His lecture was illustrated with steropticon slides, showing vividly the evils of badly constructed and poorly managed dairies. The Sanitary Congress reconvened Friday morning at nine o'clock. The meeting was opened with prayer by Rev. A. R. Mitchell. The visiting delegates were warmly welcomed to Greenville by Major William F. Robertson, and a response was made by Dr. Hyatt on behalf of the visiting members. Next came a paper, "The Progress of Preventive Medicine in the South," by Dr. J. A. Hayne. Another instructive paper, "His tory 01 federal and Municipal Meat Inspection," by Dr. B. F. Knapp, commissioner of health of Spartanburg. Dr. L. B. McBrayer, health officer of Asheville, N. C., spoke on "Hygiene of Tubercolosis, or How We Manage it in Asheville." Next came another taik by Dr. Ernest Kelly, of the Department of Agriculture, on "Economics of Milk production and distribution." After each paper there was open discussion of the subject by any and all present that wished to speak. At the afternoon session, Dr. W. S. Rankin, State Health Officer of North Carolina, oravo a w intor. I eating talk on "The Body Politic in Disease and Health." The speakers of the evening session *were, Dr. T. D. Rodger, of South Carolina, Dr. L. M. McCormick, of Asheville, N. C., and Dr. R. L. Wilson of the United Statjes Public Health Service, now stationed at Charleston, S. C. Dr. Rodgers spoke first on "Hook ? . - - - * 1 Baking Powder aar Purs owder made from earn of Tartar I ome-baked foods Uty at minimum home bakhtg ft profitable " , f.gps worm Disease; Its prevalence and prevention in South Carolina. Greenville county is the only county in South Carolina that has not appropriated money to assist in eradicating the hookworm. Dr. L. M. McCormick, city meat, milk and food inspector, of Asheville, spoke on "Flies; Their Habits and Extermination. His lecture was illustrated with steropticon slides which gave the audience vivid pictures of the menace of the common house and stable fly. Dr. Wilson was the last speaker of the congress. He was to have spoken on "Quarantine" but on account of a delay in getting his lantern slides from Washington he read a paper giving death statistics and mortality lists in the United States. This paper was very instructive and although last was by no means least of the various papers read at the congress. There was also held in Greenville during the week a "Pure Food and Health Exposition." Among the pure foods on exhibition were the Droducts of the Rum ford Chemical company, H. J. Heinz Co. National Biscuit Coy, Borden's Condensed Milk Co., C. F. Saver, (various kinds of flavoring extracts), Flanklin Sugar Refining andTetley's Teas. The Pasteur treatment for rabies was demonstrated. A rabbit or guinea pig was inoculated with hydrophobia serum and allowed to die, and after death from this c?u?e thevaccine was taken from the marrow of the animals backbone. Dr. McCormick, of Asheville, N. C., had an exhibit showing the "Life Cycle of the Fly." At this, the first meeting of the Municipal Sanitary Congress, the organization was perfected under the name of the "Southeastern Sanitation Association," with the following officers: President, J. A. Hayne, State Health Officer of South Carolina. Vice President, W. S. Rankin, State Health Commissioner of Greenville, S. C. Executive Committee, L. M. McCormick, Asheville, N. C.; William Egeston, Hartsville, S. C.; Davis Furman, Greenville, S. C., and P?. F. Kaup, Spartanburg, S. C. Next meeting place: Columbia, S. C., date to be announced later. Through the thoughtfulness of Mayor T. C. Duncan, I was permitted to attend this congress as a delegate from Union. T. B. Strange, Health Officer.

QUESTION CLEARED UP Union Readers Can No Longer Doubt the Evidence. Again and again we have read of strangers in distant towns who have been cured by this or that medicine. But Union's pertinent question has aways been "Has anyone here in Union been cured?" The word of a stranger living a hundred miles away may be true, but it cannot have the same weight with us as the word of our own citizens, whom we know and respect, and whose evidence we can so easily prove. John Petty, 76 W. Main St., Union, S. C. says: Doan's Kidney Pills have certainly been of benefit to me and I can recommend them. I was subject to attacks of backache and there were pains in my loins when I stooped or lifted. Doan's Kidney Pills, that I got from the Palmetto Drug Co., brought me prompt and lasting relief."
