Red Cross Symbol Is Declar-
ed A Gem Of Art

Purchasers of Red Cross Christmas
seals are much delighted with the
beauty of the design and praised it
very loudly at the various places
where seals are being sold. Many de-
clsred the simple Red Cross, with
the surrounding message and foliage,
far prettier shan any of the more
elaborate Christmas seals which are
on sale in the stores.
Many questions regarding the seals
hsve been asked the local agents and
many have been surprised to learn
that the design for the seals is all
American artists. When the Red
Cross Society determined to issue
these seals, it called on all artists of
note to submit designs. The artists,
realizing the Importance of the work
symbolized by the seals, were quick
to submit their designs, and more
than 2, 600 were passed on by the So
cisty. The seal for 1909, which was
extremely beautiful, is, however, de-
clared inferior to the present one,
which is certainly gem of art.
1t in urged by the committee in
charge that would-be purchasers of
seals do not delay, as there is a
chance that the supply of seals avail
able for local use may not be sufii-
cient to meet the demand during the
last few days of the sale.

Why Buy Anv Red Cross Seals

A Million More In Desperate
Peril.
1t would startle you. wouldn't it

preston of the fact. not the fact it.
self, would administer the Jolt to
your faculties. For the fact is con-
stantly before US all, and startles no.
body. Two hundred thousand Ameri-
cans died last year of consumption.
One million more are now beset by
the same peril. These, in turn. are
injecting or will infect their hunrdeds
of thousands of others. All needless (:
all preventable; all n sheer and ter
rible waste of life.
Possibly you yourself will be one
of the hundreds of thousands stricken.
There is at least one chance in nine
of it. Probably someone near and dear
to you will be victim. There is
more than an even chance OF that.
What are you going to do about it?
What CAN you do about it?
Buy a Red Cross Seal.
Sounds absurd. doesn't il? In the
face of the most potent scourge of
the human race, devastation more
sweeping than that OF war or earth
quake, you are invited TO do your
part with penny stamp. Well, n
stamp isn't much in itself, but il
may typify tyranny, dashed this coun-
try into the struggle for nationality.
And now these stamps typify the
struggle against the nations might
lest foe of today. Every one Of these
little squares means cent for the
campaign. Sixty million Of them
have already been issued and distrib-
uted over the length and breadth of
the country. You can get them from
your church. from your local antitu-
berculosis organization, from the

900. What can $500, 900 do toward
saving a million consumptives? Not
much, it is true. But it can do mira
cles toward preventing the further
spread OF the disease through ei ghty
million Americans. Every seal means
? warning. Every warning may mean
life saved. Education and education
only, persistent, unremittent letting
in of the light, that and that alone
will wipe out the Great White
Plague.
SO, whether you buy one Of the gay
little red and green seals To put on
the back Of an envelope, or ten thou
sand wherewith to paper room, you
will be doing your part in the great
capmaign. A million for tuberculosis
is is battle cry, and the red cross
flag on the seal, its banner. 1t is tho
war of one and all upon a common en-
envy. Get into the fight, though it be
only a cents worth.

THE COUNTY HON e.

There are people who take the re-
ports of the grand jury relating to the
county home as mere perfunctory rec
concentrations used to fill in with when
there is nothing of real Importance
to occupy public attention; but these
people are very much mistaken.
The conditions at the county home
are simply horrible and are most
serious reflection on York county CIV
ilization. These are the real facts
and if the people Of York county could
be brought to realize exactly how
things are at this institution, they
would not stand for the situation any
longer than it could be remedied.
There has been no representative OF
The ENQUIRER at the county home for
some time, and the paper is not now
prepared to give full details; but a
few pointers that the reporter picked
up from the conversation of two local
physicians yesterday, are important
enough to be given to the public.
There are thirty or more inmates OF
the county home most Of them white,
and there is not single house on the
premises except that of the superln-
tendent that is reasonably comfortaple
or reasonably sanitary. 1t is a fact
that there is more filth and more hor-
rible odors in some of the houses, or
shacks than there are in the stables
and pigpens.
one of the physicians said that there
is one house that he never thinks OF
entering, until he has first removed his
coat and vest and put on an oVercoat
that he keeps for the purpose, MS rea-
son being a fear Of contamination, and
even at that after a good bath, ne
smells or imagines he smells the odors
for days afterward
There is nobody to wait upon or look
after the decrepit and imbecilic old
people, and they have to wait on each
other. Sometimes when all the oc-
cupants of a house are sick at the
same time, which is not infrequently
the case, the situation is simply des-
perate.
Not one of the houses is sufficiently
close, so the physicians both agreed, to
admit of comfortable warming, and the
inmates have to keep a hot fire going
all the time during the winter or suffer
tortures from the cold. The keeping
of a supply of wood is a matter of con-
stant concern and expense, and the
paupers have to put in most OF their
time trying to keep warm.
Both physicians were agreed thal the
superintendent of the home, Mr.. Boyd
is doing everything that Is possible to
do with the facilities at hand and no
blame attaches to him for the condi-
tons prevailing.
The house used for a "hospitar is
q filthy old shack with plank out Of
the floor, and one of the physicians
said that there was not plank on the
place with which the floor could be
repaired. There is some second-hand
lumber on the premises that came out
of the Jail; but this is not suitable for
the purpose desired. The hospital cam
not be kept comfortable.
Both physicians were in hearty SYM

be deserving Of the thanks Of the en-
tire public, including the statesmen and
saleswomen most directly affected.

The people who are carrying so much
loose money around should put it in
the banks. The banks are doing all
they reasonably can to teach folks that
this is the thing; but they cannot be
expected to do this work alone. 1t is
impossible. There are still many peo-
pie who have never been brought to a
proper understanding of the matter
and who are inclined to discount the
efforts of the banks on the score of sell
fishness. They cannot understand why
the banks would go to so much trouble
and expense solely for the good of the
other fellow. 1t Is up then, to intelli7
gent business people everywhere to
take hand in this educational work
There is many an individual who by
his personal influence with other indi-
viduals can convince the objects of his
efforts of the wisdom and security OF
the deposit proposition. There is no
disputing the fact that the larger the
number of people who use the banks
and the larger the aggregate deposits,
the better it Is for everybody concern
ed. Everybody therefore, should preach
the doctrine of depositing surplus saw
irgs in the banks. The advantages to
the depositor are: l. Security. 2. Con-
venience. 8. Having his account kept
accurately without cost 4. More as
surance of being able to borrow when
in need. S. Less danger of wasting
for foolishness. 6. A feeling of COM
mendable independence. 7. Possibil-
tiles of business opportunities that
might not otherwise come. s. 9th
er benefits too numerous to mention.
There are absolutely no drawbacks to
the bank account idea. The only one
that can be urged with show of rea-
son Is bank failure. This is Of such
extremely rare occurrence as not to be
worth considering. People who do not
run bank accounts lose one hundred
dollars where those who do keep ac-
counts at the bank lose one dollar.
Every man who makes any pretensions
to doing business at all should do that
business through the banks.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1910-12-02

have never agreed with those who did
not believe there was need for a COM
mission and plenty for it to do. On the
contrary, we think the idea Is a good
one. If let alone on the one hand,
the railroads will abuse their oppor-
tunities, and on the other hand if ev-
cry man with a grievance against the
railroads could have his way, 1t would
not be long until the railroads would
be ruined. The only reasonable object
of a commission Is to establish fair
ness and equity as between the rail-
roads and the public. The field is one
that offers abundant material for the
talents of the demagogue; but 1t Is not
field in which the demagogue can be
of use. The qualities called for are
genuine patriotism, unquestioned hon.
esty and a high order Of ability. Mr..
John G. Richards, whom the governor
has appointed. to this place is a man
of long public experience, and his
training ought to serve him well in
to which he has been appointed. But
if the appointment of Mr.. Richards
does not result in an emphasizing of
the Importance Of the office, Mr.. Rich
ards can hardly be held responsible,
as it takes two out of board Of three
to make a majority and only majorities
can act. But we sincerely hope that
there will be action that will SAVIOR Of
having been precipitated not merely by
desire to have something to show
what I did" There has been too
much of that already, and while we re-
call certain alleged reductions" in
the freight rates, on certain commod-
les, 1t has not been shown that these
reductions were not offset by advances
at other points, and neither has 1t been
shown that final consumers have ever
gotten the benefit of any reduction
that has been made. Take the fertili-
ger rate, for instance. That was re-
duced; but both the retailer and the
farmer claim that they continue to
pay as high for what they get as ever,
and if this be true we cannot see where
there has been any benefit except to
the wholesaler. In this case the rail-
roads have been crippled to just that
extent without any corresponding ben
eft. Other instances Of a like nature
could be cited; but it is hardly worth
hi nn1t irn 10 70 chN
that if the commission is to be of real
benefit it must be very wise and very
careful
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1910-12-02

The Charlotte Chronicle of Wednes-
day, prints a story to the effect that
Mr.. ]. B. Duke, president of the Amer
lean Tobacco company, is heading a
movement looking to the establishment
of cotton cloth depots in China, for the
purpose of establishing direct trade
between the mills of the south and dis
tributors in the Chinese empire. 1t
seems to US that this is the one thing
needful to bring southern mills to their
own. While we do not pretend to un-
derstand the cotton mill business like
those who are actively engaged in it,
in a general way it is our understand
ing that the great trouble with south
ern manufacturers is that they have no
way Of distributing their goods except
through northern commission houses,
and these houses have such a complete
control of all the avenues of distribu-
tion that they are able to exact such
profits as they care to demand. 1t is
fact that stagnation in the cotton
once been attributed to the commission
men. Time and again statesmen have
advocated the idea of shipsubsidy with
a view to developing the trade in cotton
business, and in view of the end
sought, we have been inclined to favor
the idea. We are not yet disposed to
abandon it. But Mr.. Dukes plan is
filled with greater promise, in that it
goes direct to the heart of the matter,
and is not dependent upon the for
tunes of demagogic politicians. With
the establishment of cloth depots un-
der the direction and patronage of a
man of such established reputation for
ability to manage big things as is Mr..
Duke, it is possible that the south can
get a good foothold in China and pro-
cure for her manufacturers the same
advantages that are enjoyed by Brit
ish and German competitors. AS we
understand it, there is no question of
the fact that southern goods cannot
now be sold in China at as high a price
as British and German goods of the
same quality, except they be sold by
British and German dealers as their
own. Mr.. Duke has been able to en-
force his rights against the world in
other things and if he pushes this pres
ent undertaking, there is a possibility
that one of the results will be to give
the south control of the manufacture
of cotton goods just as she now dom
mates in the production of cotton. 1t
is to be hoped that the proposed un-
dertaking will be pushed to the limit,
which will no doubt be a complete sue
cess.

Edwin A. Brown, a wealthy club
man and sociological worker, of Den
yer, Colo, is bruising about the country
in disguise trying to learn how man
without dime" is treated when ap-
plying for accommodations for which
he is unable to pay. At Houston, Tex,
he explained that he had no money and
asked to be entertained at a cheap
lodging house. The police had him in
a few minutes and he was released
only after he had been identified by a
newspaper reporter with whom he
happened to be acquainted. But Mr.
Brown cannot learn a great deal under
the conditions existing. Even though
he may leave his pocketbook at home,
it is impossible for him to feel as hum
BILE and down -trodden as the poor fel-
low who really has no dime. But his
experiment will not be without some
effect. though that effect be far diff
ferent from the one in contemplation
Genuine tramps will manage to per-
senate the disguised millionaire, and
will have but little trouble in doing
thoroughly the kind of people who
bend subservient knees to folks sup
posed to be we'll supplied with cash.
