IS THIS
A
SQUARE
DEAL?

That's the squarest kind Of a
square deal as every fair minded man
knows.
But the J. G. Wannamaker Mfg.
Co. can afford to make this offer be-
cause they know tilat Mi-o-no tablets
are worthy stomach remedy, and
that the makers will back up the
generous offer.
And so we say to all readers OF
The Times and Democrat suffering
or ailing with any stomach trouble,
try Mi-o-na. 1t has such mighty
and powerful influence on the stom-
ach that it Immediately refreshes and
relieves, then invigorates and cures.
1t strengthens the stomach walls,
puts the stomach in such perfect
condition that it can digest food
without pain or other distressin :
symptoms. 1t cures by removing the
cause, and it removes the cause Sc
times in a hundred.
A large box Of Mi-o-na tablets
only costs SO cents, and relief will
come in "a hours.
'Mi-o-na tablets are truly great
for anyone that has stomach trouble.
l can not praise them too highly for
what they have done for me. Mrs.
W. D. Bennett, Bucksport. Me.

THANKSGIVING FOR ORPHANS
Help the Little Homeless Boys and
Girls Home.

We doubt If any set of people
look forward to Thanksgiving with
more delight than the orphans.
They know full well that on that
day they will be in many hearts;
and that the prayers of the peop.e
who love little children will be made
for them.
At the Thornwall Orphanage, Clin-
ton, South Carolina, there are $50
orphans. OF these $50 are from
the State of South Carolina, 60 from
Georgia and 21 from Florida, the
rest from other States. Children
from any section of our country,
however, are welcome, provided they
are fatherless, of tender years and
in need of aid. Once received they
are not dismissed, except at their
own request, but are educated thor
oughly, are taught some good trade
and sent out able to take care Of
themselves without further protection
from the Institution.
Their support comes from all parts
of the country. Provisions, money
and anything that can be used in
the ordinary family can be used
here at the Thronwell Orphanage.
The Institution itself is on the
cottage system. There are Is cot
tages, with six public buildings for
mental, moral, manual and. techni-
cal training. And it continues to
grow as new cottages can be erect
ed.

("Too few negroes to rcport.)
These are the figures whose ac-

and, as the Progressive Farmer says
the Southern man who can look them
In the face and still argue for list
less, do-nqthing policy Is the man
who murders present and future gen.
erations by criminal carclessness.
DR.. Stiles is man who with rare
self-devotion proposes to give his life
to the effort to reduce this fearful
Southern death rate-its "v"orci~o
proportions in our cities being bu:
typical Of similar conditions in our
country districts-arI there is no
man in America today who more
heartily deserves the corporation of
every agency in the Southern States.
1t is not climate that makes our
Southern death rate so high. 1t
is lack Of sanitary precautions upon
the part Of our large negro popu-
lation and also upon the part or a
large white population az we'll. In
the name Of human life, let us set
about remedying these conditions.

THE F1RE F1ENp
Visits the Hustling Little Town Of
Cameron Tuesday.

Our hrstling little neighbor.
Cameron, had a close call early
Tuesday morning from a fire which
at one time threatened to, be quite
serious. The chemical engine
recently purchased by the town Was
for the first time used in actual fire
fighting and the work done was all
that could be expected.
The fire originated in building
used as a restaurant and ware
house on 2nd street and soon spread
to the dwelling on the north and
a-actherl warehouse, on the south.
Both warehouses were used by T. +.
Ulmer. The building in which the
fire originated'was too close to those
next to it for the chemical engine
to be used successfully although the
members of the fire company did
their best, some of them today show
ing blisters on faces and hands as a
result of the heat t, which they were
exposed.
The firemen then turned their at
tention to the saving OF Mr. Ulmer's
main store, and but for the chemical
engine this store must have gone
with the rest. The warehouse Of
Bull & Taylor, on the opposite side
Of the street, was saved through the
efforts of the bucket brigade, which
did good work.
The losses were as follows: Mrs.
Carrie o. Dantzler, building, valued
at s400,2 no insurance; E. L. MI
Gowan, building. valued at s5lu.
insurance $500; w. D.. Houck,. build
ing, valued at s4OO, mo insurance;

WILL Be VOTED DOWN
PROPOSED EDIsTo COUNTY WILL.
BE DEFEATED.
BY the Vote Of That Portion, Of Or
angeburg County Emrbaced in the
New County Territory.

There Is no chance for Edisto
county which is to be voted on De-
: cember IS. Mr.. J. H. Corbett, a
resident Of that section of Orange
burg county embraced in the pro-
posed new county, who was in the
city on Wednesday, said that he was
confident that the scheme to form
Edisto county would get very few
votes in the orangeburg territory,
which would defeat the new county.
It is said that the movement Will
fail tc get the requisite vote in Aiken
salso. We have, not heard how the
Lexington. county folks will vote.
Mr.. Corbett's statement corrob-
crates what we have heard from
other people who live in the terri
tory from time to time. There Is
about one hundred qualified voters
in the Orangeburg territory of the
proposed Edisto county, and one
{gentleman told US that he did not
believe the n;w county proposition
would receive over five or six of
them. This would be terrible de-
feat, ana from all we can learn the
estimate is not far wrong.
1t seems that the opinion of some
Calhoun county folks had much tod
with cryStalizing the orangeburs
folks against the new county move
ment. In answer to enquiries some
good, Substantial citizens who had
worked and voted for Calhoun coun-
!. ty said they were sorry that they
had left .Orangeburg county and that
they would like to be back in the
old county. This statement no doubt
Influenced many to vote against Ed
isto county.
'is The Times and Democrat has
taken no part in this new county
movement one way or the other, ex-
cept to publish such facts about II
as came to our knowledge. 1t is
a matter that the people directly
Interested must settle for themselves.
We would regret to have any of our
friends in that section of Orange
burg leave us, and We are therefore
pleased to know that they will, de-
cline to vote themselves cut of old
orangeburg county, which is still
the best county in South Carolina.

CONVICT ATTEMPTS TO ESCAPE

capped from the Richland county

He was sent after bucket of wa

he could not be found. Guard J
D. Reese was sent to camp at Gads-
den for bloodhounds.
Upon the. arrival of the dogs, Capt.

garee river bridge. to negro house,
about two miles from Fort, Motto,
where it was found he had secured

SETS FIRE TO GUARD HOUSE.
So AS He Could Warm His Cold
= IIoot

Our enterprising little neighbU-ing
town, Rowesville, came very near
losing her guard house on Tuesday,
all because a negro prisoner had
"cold feet" About half-past one
o'clock Tuesday Clarence Smith, one
of the numerous colored employees
of the Blake Lumber Company, OF
Rowesville, went into the yard ht
; the chief of police, Mr.. D. NJ.
smoak, and asked Mr.. Smoak to
let him see a certain pistol which he
had in his possession.
The chief took the cartridges from
the pistol and handed it to the ne
gro, who than asked for. the carr
ridges also. When his request was
refused he jumped the fence and
made off at full speed, carrying the
pistol with him. Chief Smoak set
out after him, calling for help as
he went. A number of men immS-
diately joined in the race and a hot
pursuit followed. The negro was
soon captured in nearby lane By
Mr. V. P. Sliuler, who turned him
over to Chief Smoak.
Mr.. Smoak soon landed him safely
in the ''lock-up,' but an hour later
a passer-by discovered that the build
ing was on fire. An alarm was
given and crowd gathered. who
busted themselves putting out th.
fire, while Chief Smoak occupied
himself in rescuing the negro. VIII ,
received no injuries other than Z
severe sitting from the smoke. The
negro set the building on fire with
an old newspaper and some old
blankets that were in his cell.
When asked why he did so the
negro replied that he was cold and
that he set the building on fire in
order to warm his feet. The build
ing was not greatly damaged AMI
the negro is now in chains.>

HIGH DEATH RATE
WHAT A STUDY OF SOUTHERN
CITIES SHOW.

some Il aCtS -NcAS VI &c LINZ W -A>'-
init, But They Are Facts and We
Must Face Them.
The Country Life Commission re-
Gently held meetings at Spartanburg
and Greenville in this State. We
believe that the Commission will ao-
complish untold good by directing
the attention not only of the National
Government, but Of our own home
people to the pressing needs of ru-
raj life and the possibilities of rural
development. The Progressive
Farmer says the Commission is crit
|icised because in urging the need of
better rural sanitation and hygiene
DR.. Stiles pointed out the excessive
death-rate in our rural districts AS
compared with other sections of the
country.
For instance, he mentions ty-
phoid fever in emphasizing the truth
lof so much moment to us) that 80
per cent of the cases and the deaths
from this dread disease might be
prevented by proper sanitary pre-
cautions. And he is right. The
average number of deaths from ty-
phoid in the United States is 35
in each 1000 deaths, while in the
Gulf Coast region it is As, in South
Cenral Appalachian region 63, in
the Southern Interior plateau (souta
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Mis-
sissippi sections) 76, and in the
Southwestern Central region (parts
of Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas
70 per cent.
Wherever the negro population is
high, as Dr. Stiles points out, the
lack of sanitary precautions insures
a high death rate from typhoid.
The negroes carelessress, and our
own, as DR.. Styles points out, in
the matter of typhoid fever, hook
worm disease, etc., in numbering the
white women and children of the
South. Here are some figures that
should make us blush. The ball
truth is that our death-rate from ty-
phoid fever and other prsventable
diseases is shocking and ineXcusabl%
high, burning shame to our people
amounting to nothing less than a
sectional crime.
The figures below are for severa!
Southern cities for which the United
States Census processes to have truly
accurate mortality statistics, and we,
are going to take in alphapetical
order just as they come in the census
tables, every Southern city included
in the registration area with their
death-rate per 1000 Of population
for both races, and compare each one
of these Southern cities with the
two cities in other sections immedi
ately following in alphabetical or
der-just as named in the census
