For the benefit Of all concerned I wish to
make the following statement in behalf OF
DR.. j. W. Crawford, formerly of this place,
now of Donalds, s. G.
DR.. Crawford came here something over
five years ago from western North Caro-
lima and Immediately secured very large
and lucrative practice that continued to
grow 50 long as he stayed here. He was
successful beyond the anticipation Of any
one, performing the most tedious, difficult
and skillful operations Of the various kinds
known to the profession, without a single
fatality; and he vas equally as successful
with his medical patients. When DIR.
Crawford first came here, my wife was
very much in need Of @ serious abdominal
operation. But before it could be done, her
general health had to be built up, which
DR.. Crawford did. He only having come
here and this being a very serious opera
ton" he asked me to carry my wife to At
lanta, Ca, and have the most skillful sur
geons Of that place do the work. did so,
and expected her health to return; this it
failed to do; however, she did get some
better. About two years after this she was
seized with convulsions and had as many
as fifty a day. I, with the balance Of my
family, lost all hope Of her living. In fact,
at one time am confident she was dying;
all present thought the same, when DR..
Crawford revived her by almost super
human effert, and by his skill and faithful
ness so assisted her to improve that in
about three weeks he was able to re-perform
the operation, remove the cause, and re-
store her to her former health. This Is
only one instance / mention; there are
many others I could name.
To say we appreciate him Is not express
ing to the fullest extent the truth. We
consider him one Of the best physicians
and surgeons anywhere, and would be glad
to have him back among US. He certainly
had no trouble here. he stood at the top
Of his profession. To thoroughly satisfy
anybody, if they will taks the trouble to
come here in person they will easily find
out enough. can only say that In enjoin-
ing him from practice one of the most use
full, sympathetic, and best qualified phySi-
clans is deprived Of his privileges.
We know enough Of DR.. Crawford to be-
lieve he would willingly submit to any
right regarding his line. He has in many
ways proved while here his ardent support
Of the profession. We know nothing about
DR.. Crawford's practice in South Carolina
but if it was anything like it was here
somebody, some patients, are suffering
more than he by his being enjoined from
work.
Would be glad to answer any communi.
cations. We are satisfied that when he Is
we'll known the people Of Abbeville county
will be proud at having such man in their
midst. George w. Hill.

woMAN's DARING TRIP,

Miss Charlotte. Mansfield, poetess,
novelist and explorer. who undertook
an expedition overland from Cape TO
Cairo, through some OF the widest
parts of Africa, was forced to give up
her journey by the sleeping sickness
in the region where Theodore Rooss-
Welt hunted. The daring trip was
started last winter. Miss Mansfield
was accompanied by an ex-noncom'
missioned army officer and his wife,
and two score of natives were IN her
train. Her object was. in part, to
study the folklore of the natives ana
to interview the pygmies. sne at
tempted little hunting beside. that
necessary to secure food. When she
returns to England it Is expected she
will write book On her adventures.
She has already gained name as an
authoress, her novels, Torn Lace"
and "The Girl and the Gods. )" having
attracted much attention. She made
her way as far as possible on the
Cape-to-Cairo Railroad and then
plunged into the wilderness, facing
many hundreds Of miles Of tramping.

find some turtles myself. / started
out one morning carrying a net over

walked all around little lake where
turtles would most likely live, but not
a trace could I find. / was about TO
give up when I remembered little
pond near the lake where i had often
seen turtles. I walked cautiously
around the edge and then my heart
gave a leap, for there In the bottom:
of the pond, right near the shore,
was a turtle. Now every one knows
that. these reptiles dive: into the mud
.at the least noise, and IT requires
cautious and quick movement to get
one, so: thought it best to catch it
with my hand. Slowly I reached to-
ward it and then made grab. But
ouch! such a Shiny, horrid creature
I held. Not like the ordinary water
turtle at all, but a soft spongy Shell
and big head that twisted around
and tried to bite me. / never had

LOVE THE BIRDS.


The birds of different countries and
climes make most interesting study,
and the more we learn of our little
feathered kinsfolk of the air the more
will we love them and hold their life
and liberty dear. TO destroy the life
of a bird for the purpose of mere kill,
ing-to display ones craftsmanship
lis simply murder, and nothing
more, even though the victim be q
bird. Life is given to ell creatures OF
the air, the waters and the land BY
our Creator, and not one should be
held lightly. Therefore, when chill.
.dren kill birds for the mere sake OF
killing they .2are committing very
grievous sin. And to capture and
cage them is even more wicked, for
a bird in cage is the same as Child
in a prison, removed from allsthat 1t
holds dear in life. Every boy and
girl who reads this should try to I'M

the prisoner having few feet IN
which to jump about and get exer-
else, to depend on forgetful monsters
for food and water, to have his or her
prison hung in cold or hot places, to
be, neglected and starved, and again
overfed. When they have fancied
themselves in this unhappy captivity
the boy and girl will have some sort
Of idea of the unhappy lot of an i'm
prisoned bird.
Now, the world had birds to fly
and to sing before man was created.
Birds are as much part of the beau
tiful earth as are the flowers and
trees. There are. so many kinds OF
birds that to just read over the names
of-a few. Of the varieties will rouse
any boys and girls interest, and they
will at once desire to learn something
about each of these varieties, and of
others that will come under their no.

up. The tropical countries are richer
In variety than are the northern coun-
tries. And the birds are larger and
more beautifully feathered in the
tropics. Many of them have most
curious habits, and form reverend
ing source of enjoyment to read and
study about. =
A list of the names of different
families of birds, so to speak, is: given
here, birds that are most interesting
to know about. They are the nightin-

THE BACK YARD BEAUTIFUL.

called into existence, excepting al
ways the dependence of little cnlld

pleasure lies in anticipation there are-
l. Lappy weeks to be spent selecting the
vines, shrubs and plants most ad-
nlired, to be welcomed as old friends
when they have finally taken their
appointed place in the garden.
Nor will this familiarity rob them
of new. and interesting features. On
the other hand, the impetuous nature,
fond Of surprises, can cast the re-
sponsibility OF selection upon the very
willing, capable florist who, given
conditions, furnishes bulbs, seeds and
PLANTS, the existence of which was
never dreamed, and each days un-
folding offers continual delightful
surprises of color and form lasting
