were adopted at the meeting Of the

senting voice by the Sumter County
Medical Association at the meeting
last week:
Whereas, Many Of the life insurance
companies have notified their medical
examiners of O. reduction Of the exam
in:ng fee from SIS to SO; and
Whereas, We, as physicians, realiz-
ing the responsibility incident to
proper examination of the individual,
believe such reduction to be unjust;
therefore, be it
Resolved, That in the House of Del
egates, in session assembled, we do
hereby declare such reduction to be
unjust and respectfully request that
no physician legally authorized to
practice medicine in South Carolina
accept such reduction or rec, anC
further that any physician accepting
such reduction be guilty of a breach
Of professional courtesy.
Resolved. That it is the sense Of
the House Of Delegates that hereafter
in each examination for life insurance
in which urine analysis is required the
minimum fee shall be SIS and that
when no such analysis is required the
minimum fee shall be So.
Resolved, That the several compo-
nent societies forming this State asso-
citation be. requested to adopt these
resolutions.

Uiid Geese Killed in Flight.

The southern migration of wild fowl
this winter was unusually late and re-
suited in many disasters. The wild
geese are reported from the northwest
to have been especially severe sufferers.
The large black-hcadcd goose is a
strong, hardy bird. generally remaining
on its own native water until the ice
forms firmly In the South it is only
visitor FOR the winter months. Born
on some lake beyond the northern wa
tcrshcd, or perhaps on some inlet in
Hudson Bay or the Arctic Ocean, its
heart is ever loyal to the land OF its
birth.
Sometimes, when the cold weather
sets in late up North, as in all proba-
blity it has this year. the wild geese
suffer from their devotion TO their ma
tive place They may at this late season
fly right into a streak of real winter,
with driving SNOW TO blind their vision
and bitter frost to halt their fight.
If there is storm, their way leads
right through it, until the leaders eyes
are closed by the freezing of the snow
about its head or its feathers become
too heavy weighted. When the sight
has gone and the birds are wearicd, It
is easy to see how misleading is much
Of the talk about the lcadings Of an
extra sense Like a ship without a
ruddcr, the V-shapcd flock will make
for any low places.
Once a flock came tumbling into the
street Of an Eastern townships village,
where the haIf-blinded things became
the easy prey Of the boys and the dogs:
In another place 4 farmer CHANGED
one spring to find the frozen .carcasses
of more than thirty fine geese in a DRIFT
in one of the fence corners. The BIRDS
had evidently come to earth in some
binding storm. and, imagining they
were nearing water, found instead the
hard, snow-cOvcred ground.
There are several instances recorded
of hocks of geese in a storm running
full tilt into the ends or sides Of farm
buildings. A large brood flew at full
speed against the rigging Of the wha.-
ing steamer Dart this month off the
Newfoundland coast A damp. snow
laden wind was blowing at the. time,
and eleven dead or dying geese ttnt-
tered on to the deck. the others aIlglt-

hills, filing gulches, setting and tamp-
ing ties and laying rails. The work
demands that she be a skillful man
ager of men. She knows man as few
women dO-she directs their energies,
gets out of them the most work pos
sible, pays their wages, employs or dis
charges them. Men, mules, steam
shovels and dynamite are her Obedient
agents Necessarily she is linancier,
talks and figures in the hundred thou
sands and the millions as readily as
most men talk of dollars. In the par
lance of the street she long ago made
her stake and today is accounted the
richest woman in Michigan and one OF
| the very rich women of the world.
She has made estimates and carried
out contracts on some of the longest
and heaviest pieces of railroad con-
struction in the country. Though her
occupation ia strenuous it would do
Mrs. Beacham rank injustice to say
that it has roughened her. There is
a certain set Of determination and firm
ness about her features, but her man
ner is feminine, and so are her tastes.
She is such good judge of men that
she rarely has any trouble with them
and it is not often that an employer
is so genuinely popular with employees
as Mrs. Beacham.
Mrs Beacham has been making and
executing railroad contracts for TWEEN
ty years. She has two sons Claud and
| Erwin and her husband, though living
/ is an invalid.
Much of this remarkable woman'E
work has been done in the southern
states where railroad building has gone
| forward with Titantic strides in the
! last two decades and where a vast
amount of building is now under way
| On one contract with the Tennessee
| Central railroad, Mrs. BeaCham'S profit
| was $4,000, and it is calculated that
| her average annual earnings are about
| $4,000. The contract which she is
now engaged in executing is the con.
stTuCtion of five miles of railroad from

road which was secured by Sands and
Oliver of Richmond. These contraC-
tors sublet a short stretch of the work

At present she is employing only
about one hundred and fifty men but
the proper control of this force and
the purchase of the necessary supplies
calls for the exercise of no little eX-
ecutive ability.

New Chinese Methods.

Chan Chun Man. head OF a Canton
firm employing over ten thousand hands,
has been studying American industries.
In Philadelphia, apropos of the Chinese
awakening, he said: China has for
thousands of years been highly enough
civilized to dcspisc war. Her newborn
respect for war is not an unmixed good.
There is. perhaps, little of degenera-
ton, of barbarism, in it. But at least
China will no longer be the laughing
stock of nations more warlikc than her
self. 1t will no longer be possible to say
OF her, as a Chinese general once eX-
planned a defeat with the following re-
port: The ignorant enemy, unaware
that guns could not be fired against an
object behind them, came upon us from
the rear and thus rendered all our can,
non useless" f."
