Is Disease a Crime !?

Not very long ago. popular magazine
published an editorial article in which
the writer asserted, in substance, that all
disease should be regarded as criminal.
Certain it is, that much of the sickness
and suffering of mankind is due to the
violation of certain of Natures laws.
But to say that all sickness should be
regarded as criminal. must appeal to
every reasonable Individual as radically
wrong.
It would be harsh, unsympathetic,
cruel, yes criminal to condemn the poor,
weak, over worked housewife who sinks
under the heavy load of household cares
and burdens, and suffers from weak
neSSeS, various diSplacementS of pelvic
organs and other arrangements peculiar
to her sex.
Frequent bearing of children. with its ex-
acting demands upon the system, coupled
with the care. worry and labor of rearing a
large family, is often the cause of weak
neSSeS. arrangements and debility which are
aggravated by the many household cares,
and the hard, and never-ending work which
the mother is called upon to perform. DR..

is a matter of frequent experience. he says,
in his extensive practice in these cases, to

Fighting had been going on for sew

the Greek inhabitants of Ivon and Bull
garlan bands that had been infesting
the neighborEoOd. The climax finally
came when the Bulgarian chief, Woldse,
shot and killed five villagers and a
young woman, as they were retul ming
from market.
To revenge the foul deed, 16 of the
residents of Ivon started out after
Woldse and his band. Woldse eluded
the posse and returned to the village
the very night the citizens had left to
look for him. He and his men went to
the houses of the 16 pursuers, and or
dered their wives to follow them to
the cemetery, carrying picks and
spades.
Arriving there the women were com
PEELED to dig graves. When this was
done they were told to lay down in the
trenches and die. The women fought
hard for their lives, but the Bulgarians
would let none escape, and all were
buried alive. The band camped on their
graves for three hours to make sure
their victims were dead.
Two days later the Greeks returned,
each conducting a captured Bulgarian.
The villagers were asked to fetch 16
stakes, all of which were set up facing
the newly made graves. The bandits
were bound to the stakes by chains.
Their clothes were drenched with oil.
Then they were set afre, the fire be,

LATE MINING NEWS
MICA MINING IN CUSTER.

Mr.. Frank N. Meyer, who came
to Custer about week ago has
purchased for his company. the
Westinghouse Electric and Manu-
featuring company, Of Pittsburg,
Pa, the New York mica mine sit.

ter near -Four Mile. Work will be-
gun at the mine during the coming
week and we understand that
suitable plant will be erected atthe
mine or in Custer for the grinding,
trimming and otherwise preparing
the mica for market.
The New York MICA mine is we'll
known among the people of Custer
county and it enjoys the distinction
of being the largest vein Of mica in
the Black Hills. The mine will
give employment to large force of
men and the plant will give work
to many boys and girls who are
found to be better adapted to the
light work of trimming than men.
We could not learn the exact
amount paid for the property, but
understand that the sum was quite
large. The mine is known to be
very valuable. We rejoice to
chronicle this deal and we are
pleased to welcome this strong and
efficient company in our midst.
Judge A. T. Feay has finished his
examination and report on the title
to the property and has forwarded
the transfer deeds to the east for
execution.
Custer has been famous for hel

PLANTATION. Before the Revolution and
down to a period as late as 1920 1t was
the custom for the negroes living in
the state to hold an election on the Sat
urday succeeding the regular election
day, choosing one OF their number as
governor. Sometimes, however, no
election was held, the retiring governor
assigning his office to another The
man chosen in either case was usually
''of imposing presence, strength, firm
ness and yolubility, quick to decide,
ready to command and quick to fog"
He appointed staff Of military and
judicial officers, who executed his or
ders in all matters pertaining to col
ored people, especially questions per
tanning to morals, manners and cere-
monies.
The fact that he had no legal status
in the province or state did not at all

pears to have exercised very real
power, nearly always on the side OF
morality and justice. The justices OF

governors We're, as rule, extremely

tits said on what seems to be
good authority that at least one
business concern Of Importance
that wished to locate in Rapid
City decided not to do because
it could not purchase the kind
of property needed at what was
considered a reasonable figure.
This is a matter to be handled
with some caution. We do not
believe that there is any partic-
ular disposition on the part Of
the owners Of real estate in the
city 11to hold up" intending in
vestors by charging more than
the owners cosider a fair price
for the property nevertheless if
the impression gets abroad that
this is the spirit Of the property
holders it will do the city meal
culable harm. There are ways
of combating that impression
without putting the price of
property below it's real value,
and one of these is the present
ing of u united and harmonious
aspect on the part Of the whole
people, glad to welcome any
coming enterprise and to fur
ther in all possible ways. This
is a matter in which everyone,
property holder or not may act,
iince it affects the welfare OF
the entire community.
