morally and spiritually. But in this
Southern cline you do not prod" an
enemy unless you want to kill or be
killed. The Good Book says: "Whom
the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and
scourgeth every son whom he receiv-
eth." I take it that the Senator &C.
cepts this without doubt and that he
can make the application and relieve
his erring mind on this score.
AS to your doubts about my support
ing you in the last election, let me say:
Gentle spirit, be at ease, for the bait
which you threw out to the whale last
summer didn't catch this little fish. It
was more than he could swallow.
Friendship cuts no figure with me when
making up my ticket fer men who are
to make our laws, fix our taxes and ap-
propriate tie tax funds. Nine years
ago | supported you because then your
positions and platform suited me, but in
the last election [ could not reconcile
your platform Of lower taxes and more
improvements and had to scratch you
as well as some others Of the delega-
ton.
Now, one thing more, and I ain
through, ''Prohibition The Senator
says: 1T was not discussed, but I
made it known during the campaign
I'd vote prohibition" To whom was
this made known, pray tell US: For
our Interpretation of your language is
that it was done in this way: A pro-
nounced prohibitionist would step up
and whisper in one ear, How do you
stand on the whiskey question:' and
you would whisper back to him, ooh,
I am for Statewide prohibition, but
let's keep this quiet, please For

pensary the best solution OF the liquor

stone to prohibition" Now, Senator,
in all candor, who do you suppose took
seriously the "aL heart part OF your
assertion:
I do not propose, at this time, to be
drawn INTO discussion of this ques-
ton, for fully realize that it is a SELL

arguments avail but little. Let few

has said that the majority will 20 for
prohibition in the August election,
His edict has gone forth; his mandate
is before the people. And what more
needs be said: Those of you who are
not in favor of sending $4,000 a year
out Of the State in order to get the
$4,000 revenue, vote with the Senator
and enjoy with him his idea of "high
fnanciering." When yon discover the
same $50, 900 going in the same direc.
ton without one cent Of revenue, but
on the other hand your treasury emp
tied by prosecuting violators of the liq-
uor law as we see it being done daily

the preacher, and with surprise to him;
and when a good sister stepped up and
asked, "How do you feel:" He re-
piled, Il fe-fe-feel like a d-d-damn

has been flattered by Messages and

Again, my dear Doctor says, Every

ber that in the campaign last summer,
from CASTOR to Pine Ridge, your slo-
gan, your battle cry was, "Our taxes
are too high. They are burdensome

1t was what the majority thought was
necessary: and it carried. But what
are the results: Your Sta taxes are

taxes were not raised, they should have

''csitie's" Reply 70 Senator
p. E. csossea.

Dear Mr.. Editor:
It appears rather senseless that I
should reply to TRADE OF abuse and
villifcation, void Of all argument, and
not responsive to 8 single issue raised
in my first article, but it seems that
tho "Dieis cast, the Rubicon is crossed,
and Rome is no longer Free" and ''sink
or swim, survive or PERISH" am here
to the finish to maintain and proclaim
the principle I started out to enunciate,
to wit, That the day and time had
come when MEN should cease to de-
clare one thug from the stump and
while seeking Office, and to do another
when elected. Every intelligent reader,
unbiased and non-political thinker, sees
at glance that l was simply calling
the attention of voters to the fact that
our delegation in the General Assem-
bly had not worked and voted like they
had talked On the stump.
Now, instead Of replying to the only
real issue in my communication, what
does the Honored Senator resort to?
He reviews his work as your Senator,
applauds the same, defends his vote or
all measures, and would have you be-
lieve that his every vote was for your
best interest. Did "Critic" question a
single vote by him made except as by
contrast with his protestations from the
stump? This writer believes in ad-
vancement and improvements as much
so as the distinguished Senator, howev-
er dubious he may be about my asser-
tions, but he does not believe in telling
the "Dear People that taxes are too
high and at the same time proclaiming
that he favors better roads, better
schools, free bridges, and better every
thing. He does not believe in pro-
claiming from the stump in thundorous
toneslanguage that would make people
believe that he would and could tear
every brick out Of Clemson College, de-
molish the University, Winthrop and
the Citadel, when he knew that these
institutions are with US and with US to
stay.
It has been SAID that Whom the
gods would destroy, they first mako
mad" Now it seems that this ''grave,
reverend, potent and puissant Senator
is mad, gloriously mad, but 1 would not
destroy him if 1 could, and while I
would not pluck from him one jewel
that adorns his crown, yet would not,
if could help it, allow the seeds Of
barley to sparkle as diamonds therein.

Reoollections of Long Life" past and
future, politically speaking, am most
forcibly reminded of a Wag's reply to q
question: "What did you think of Prof's
Sunday School address," II think
it was a diabolical conglomeration of
gaseous matter" For certainly this is
all that his article contains, save and
except his abuse of 'Critic," which is
profuse, fulsome and scorching.
He says that "Critic" is a "scab on
the progressive body polite" Why?
Is it because she is not paying much
tax" and mot often his debts when he
can get out of it," Or is it because he
dares to criticise a high Senator and
rich "fnancier?"
AS to the first charge that am not
paying 'much taxes" plead ssguilty."
1t is my misfortune aud it i'll becomes
the rich to make light of it. AS to the
second, that do not often pay my
debts, permit me to say that I owe not
any man on earth, and in a limited
way my note is as good as that of the
wealthy Senator at any time and at any
place il the county, and in some places
my word is worth as much as the Sen
ator's bond.
As to my right to criticise, oh, most
worthy Senator, most wonderful States
man, endowed with all wisdom and the
greatest "fnancier'' Of the age, let
''Critic" humbly bow at thy knee and
beg forgiveness, for he has been taught,
from infancy up, that one in office was
but servant of the ''people' who were
the supreme rulers, and the humblest
citizen need have no fear in Offering his
eensares or criticisms; but, behold
Gar has appeared on tle political hori-
zon, who will guilotine any man who
will dare question the acts or doings of
self-opinionated statesman, who ad
heres to the old English Doctrine that
GA King Can do no wrong and off
must come the head of the subject who
would in any way dispute his rule.
Like an aut3crat, he declares that ':He
has never yielded to any man the right
to question his democracy" since as a
boy he had ridden in tie 'Red Shirt
columns" and as his democracy was
NOT Qu' stioled, we take it that no
man must venture to question or criti-
else any ACT of Lis while holding all
office in the Democratic party. Who
ever heard of such arrogance and self
opinionated bigotry in the Land of
the free and the Home of the brave?"

The nurse called for them and took

child go to the country, and her consent
was not obtained until she was threat

ton of Cruelty to Children. The child
was sent to Miss. McClay's farm at San
Jose, where he made good progress and
would have completely recovered II his
lack of home discipline had not made
his stay there impossible.
The woman after much effort was
persuaded to go to the city and county
hospital, where she died. After her
death the children were committed by
the juvenile court to the care of the
Children's Agency. In this case the tu-
berculosis clinic, the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Children, the
board OF health, the city and county
hospital. the juvenile court, the Chill
6ren's Agency, the Associated Charities
and the farm in the country were all
needed to complete the social work
done for the family.

to the time of visiting the clinic this
man had never been given relief. The
physician who examined the patient
pronounced him to be in the second
stage of the disease, with favorable
prognosis if complete cessation from
work could be made possible. AS the
mans wages were his only resource,
this would mean the complete depend
ence OF the patient and his family upon
q relief organization for a period of
six months or year. The thought of
dependence was abhorrent to the man.
and he refused at first even to consider
1t. but he was shown that only by. ac-
cepting this temporary period of de-
pendency would his family be saved
from the condition permanently, con-
dition which would mean a much
heavier burden to relief organization
He finally yielded to this argument and
gave up his work OF bootblack, which
brought him in an income of about $3.50
day. A grant Of money was requested
from the Associated Charities for the
family to cover a period Of six months
care. The sum of $400 was granted, and
the Swiss benevolent association was
requested to give 81 a month, which
would cover the cost of the eggs and
milk used by the patient. This help was

previous to being referred by that or
ganization to the clinic. The physi-
clans examination showed that she
was a far advanced case of tuberculo-
sis with bad prognosis. The nurse
found on her visit to the home that the
young woman was living in a veritable
hornets nest and was, in consequence,
suffering from a constant nervous ten
sion. The family consisted, besides
herself, of her father, a young brother
of Is, her husband and her child of 2
years. The cause of the family dissen-
sion was dramatically disclosed to the
nurse by the patient fiinging open a
closet door, which revealed half a
dozen kegs of wine, and saying: My
father drinks a gallon a day of that
wine; is it any wonder that he is ugly
and makes us all miserable?" The
husband was i'll tempered in conse-
quence of the drinking propensities of
the father in law and out of tune with
matters in general which probably ac-
counted for his being out of work.
Saving a Family
1t was perfectly apparent that a radi-
cal change in the home conditions had
to be made for the good of the patient
and her husband and child. The woman,
after much difficulty, was persuaded to
give up her baby temporarily and let
the Associated Charities board it, which
would give her chance to rest and
protect the baby from the possibility of
infection. The husband was told to look
for rooms in a healthy locality, so that
he and his wife might be by them
selves. Money was given them for the
moving, the first months rent and the
necessary furniture Two quarts of milk
were sent to her daily for a period of
FIVE weeks. The cost of this revolution
so Gar amounts to $116.33.
It has proven to be a wise expenditure,
as the child is being protected from
the infection, the husband is supporting
the wife and the patient has made sur
prising progress toward recovery. She
has gained 13 pounds in five months.
her cough has almost entirely ceased
and her physician now pronounces her
prognosis good. The medical treatment
she received of tuberculin injections
would have been probably useless with
out this material aid.

Many Child Victims

Thirty-nine members Of tuberculOus
families have been examined. About 80
per cent of this number examined were
children. Thirty i've were nOntubercu-
lous, so no separate history was made
of the examinations. This number
should be added to the number of re-
corded histories in order TO give an
accurate estimate OF the amount OF
clinical work done This makes total
OF 19S examinations.
One hundred and sixteen throat ex-
aminations have been made by the
throat specialists
Twenty operations for adenOids and
enlarged tonsils have been recommend
ed by the specialists. Eighteen Of the
number recommended to be operated
upon were the children OF tuberculOus
parents, and Is have been operated
upon at Hahnemann hospital The city
has borne the expense of the hospital

children would not give their consent
to the operations
The good that must result from this
simple surgical operation on IS chill
dren is indisputable. The conversion
OF mouth breatner into a nose
breather by the removal of an OBJ
structiOn in the throat means the con-
version OF a delicate and sometimes
abnormal child into healthy, normal
one. and reduces the possibilities Of
infection from the careful tubercuIoHs
parents to a negligi quantity.

To this~class belong the men who live

danger that this class presents to the

Of money needed for relief MEASURES
during the ensuing year two factors
must be included IN the calculation
The first Is that the number to be
cared for is cumulative like the snow
ball which Is rolled on the SHOWS sur
face and keeps growing bigger during
the process; for the addition Of q new
patient needing relief does not neces-
sarily mean that ona or two others
may be dropped. On the contrary, the
probabilities are that assistance to
them must be continued and that the
ball OF relief will steadily grow.
The other factor to be considered 70
that in proportion to the increased at
tendance at the clinic there win be an
increase In the number OF patients
needing pecuniary aid. conservative
would mean the need OF $4,000 for =
relief fund to be used In the ensuing
year.
The educational campaign in the pre-
vention Of tuberculosis may partly ac-
count for the fact that out OF the
group OF 163 patients that applied TO
the clinic for medical care in the In
terval between January IS and June
5 So patients showed no signs of tu-
berculosis. This group evidently
wished to be on the safe side and learn
definitely whether the cough and run
down condition signified anything Sc
rious. Eighteen patients in this group
were given a definite diagnosis OF
either bronchitis, asthma. aenemia or
some other disease and were referred
to general clinics.
Seventy y-four patients were definitely
diagnosed as being tuberculous. These
patients are almost evenly divided
among the incipient. moderately ad-
vanced and far advanced cases, which
is the classification established by the
National tuberculosis association.
Twenty-three cases are in the first
group, 26 in the second and 21 in the
third. Four patients were not classi-
fed.
The fact that so many early cases
placed themselves under medical su-
pervision is one Of the most encOurag-
ing features of the clinics work. The
general lament on the eastern coast is
that the majority of the patients do
not apply for medical relief until it is
too late to effect a cure.
No diagnosis was made on 21 CAGES.
Several in this group were markedly
far advanced cases of tuberculosis and
were referred by the clinicians directly
to the city and county hospital. A
few were sent back to their private
physicians and four gave false ad-
dresses, so could not be followed up by
the nurses The one visit at the clinic
was not sufficient to complete the dag
