Hook Worm at the South Carolina UNI
versity.

A crusade has been inaugurated in Col
umbia against the Hook worm.
In making examination Of the student
body at the University fully GO per cent
Of the boys were found to have Hook
worms.
This is startling. If examination shows
such q per cent among a body of boys
from almost every county in the State, it
would seem that Hook worm may be more
prevalent than we immagine.
II hundred people in Columbia were
examined and so per cent found affected
with Hook worms it might not be so sur
prising. There might be some local
cause, or conditions under which the
worm thrives there better than elsewhere.
But when a body Of men, made up from
every county Of the State, are examined
and 60 per cent found affected the result
is startling.
The little pest may have made greater
ravages than we thought for at first.
It would not be a bad idea for all of us
to take a big dose of Thymol ION sus-
picion." Thymol, however, is a dan
gerous medicine and nc one should take
it except as prescribed by a DOCTOR

That Horrible Whistle.
Camden Chronicle.

Mr.. Editor: We wish to call attention
to a nuisance which should not be toler-
ated. We do not think, however, that 1t is
necessary to call the attention OF the pub
lie in this manner to acquaint them with
the evil for we are sure that our entire
citizenship is quite cognizant of its eX-
istence. I'VE refer to that horrible whistle,
which every morning before day when
tired humanity is seeking refreshmcnt Ill
sleep, sends its awful grating SOUND over
the entire community, racking the nerves
of the sick and robbing others of much
needed rest. Why the management OF
these mills allow this nuisance is a mys-
terry, and we hope that if they are unmlnd-
full OF the comfort of the well the plea OF
the sick and suffering will them TO
desist.
A. Subscriber.
What refreshing apathy to progress is
this! On you dear Chronicle subscriber,
to have heard enough factory whistles
must be great indeed. Is Camden SO full
of factories? Would that we could be
satiated with factory whistles! Would
that the six o'clock scream of forty fac
tories might make the welken ring and
tremble and dance in Able vile.
Let him who wishes listen at the crickets
and the katy-dids and jar flies and the
owls and the frogs and the cicadae and
the bull bats and the whip-poor-wills, they
are all good enough and indicative of peace
and quiet, but give us the horrible squawk
and squall of factory siren, let them
whoop and yell and squall at five in the
morning. Who cares? To hear them
makes us feel like things are doing.
Oh, you artless subscriber, take away
your factories and your real estate would
drop like Lucifer from Paradise. Take
away your factories and your population
would fade like three cents calico under a
July sun. Take away your factories and
your pocket book would grow tlabby and
fat.
Go to sleep at the right time, keep your
conscience clear, sleep like an honest man,
get up with the chickens and the factory
whistles will only be a call to mathis that
will sound as the harmonized strains from
q we'll tuned instrument, touched by a
master hand.

PARKER & E

monious in dealing with its officers and
agents generally? We maintain an army
Of clerks, many Of whom have only nOmi-
nal duties; we maintain officers OF the
army and navy in splendor until old age
~overtakes them, and then we retire them
on munificent salaries; we maintain O
system OF public sschools in the far-away
Philippine Islands for the uplift OF the
alien. In q word, we spend annually over
a billion dollars, much Of WHICH is wasted
in the vain effort to become O colonial
power. Could we not at least be just to
our own rural inhabitant who furnishes
the sinews Of government and to his i'm
mediate servant, the rural carrier?
l feel almost ashamed to place the de-
mand for the rural service on the mere
plane Of revenue, though 1 believe that it
can be more than sustained on this plane.
Since a country is prosperous directly in
proportion to the number and intelligence
of its producing class, it is Of most vital
importance that 1.-THE producer be content
and that mis- numbers be not reduced. l
do not believe that any single agency has
done so much to satisfy the producer with
ing him into immediate touch with the
pulse thrObs of the outside world. 1t has
linked the country with the town, and
when a few other agencies, such as the
telephone and the trolley, have more gen
orally contributed their part to this great
work, we will see life in the country re-
stored to that prominence that character.
lied it for so many years in England; and
the popular tide will be from the towns to
the rural sections.
Believing that the rural carrier is today
one of the greatest conservative agents in
the service of the Government, 1 favor in
crease of his pay until he is placed on an
equal footing with his brother CARRIER in
the city, and 1 shall favor any proposition
looking to that end.
If we cannot get but $1,000 maximum
for him, l shall vote for that amount. II
we can get $50 per month for him for
standard 24-mile routes, I shall vote for
that amount. One of the first bills that l
introduced Pin this House and the first
speech I made here were to secure an in
crease Of the carriers pay. l was con-
WINGED of the justice Of his cause then, and
though much has been accomplished much
more is due this faithful servant of the
people.
The pay for the service as carrier is so
small that. there are more designations
from this branch of the service than from
the whole government service beside.
But they are not dismissed for nonper-
Torrance Of duty.

Tho Little Boy and the Court Boon.

~5On last Friday afternoon a cali was
made by the court crier for one OF the
lawyers. At the time it. was thought that
the. jury had reached a verdict in the
Richey trial and quite a number entered
the court house to hear the verdict.
Among those who entered were a dozen
little boys at ages ranging from seven to
twelve years. They took front seats, and
with mouths agape with expectancy await
ed the event.
While the trial was in process, dotted
here and there yer the court room were
these little tender yearlings, drinking in
the evidence, the argument, the speeches
a manner little short Of gusto.
DO you think that the court o where
Transitional cases are being tried, a proper
place for a little boy Of eight or ten years
I'D to "hang OUT? If so by what method
reasoning do you reach such a conclu-
ion?
Hanging on the awning post, listening
b the gable Of the rabble and the jabber
the street is bad enough indeed, for
tile boys, but to sit in court and listen to
bhearsals OF sins and crimes, to hear of
kings that were better unheard, to see
&ings that were better unseen Is a wrong
at falls little short Of a sin itself.
Did the fathers Of these lads know that
cir sons were attending court while they
pre- at their several vacations? Did they
ow that their little boys we're occupying
front seat at one Of the most sensational
ais ever held in Abbeville County? Did
b discuss the case, pro and con, with
bse small boys? Are the fathers satisfied
have their young scions attend, court
Hear sensational trials and imbibe
ksational thoughts while they them
yes are digging in order to rear these
pe youngsters to be men, good and
b?
arents, lead these young scions gently
ne, gently close the gate behind you
lily tell them not to visit court until
are summoned. Gently refuse to
them why. And gently enforce
Hence. Your boy will make a better
thereby.
|urts and trials and sensations and
and sufferings and punishments will
b soon enough. Sufficient unto the
is the evil thereof"

Keep my Name out the Paper.

Since the liquor selling cases have been
going on numerous requests have been
made to keep out Of print. News
papers have a work to do andaduty to per-
form, the same as in other lines Of business
Their contract with their subscribers is to
give the news To suppress important
items in the biggest piece Of news that has
happened in a long time, would be mani;
testify unfair to q papers readers-it would
be the same as selling fourteen ounces for
a pound. ;.
It's the same old story, being caught is
worse than committing the crime. The
best way to keep your name out OF the
paper in connection with a criminal mat
ter is to do nothing criminally connected.

In the Free Pass Log.

The Newberry Observer, a splendid pa
per, edited by a splendid man, has been
bucking and shying and running out OF
the road and stampeding at what it is
pleased to call 1.-The Free Pass" ~
Papers, like the individuals who edit
them, nave their eccentricities. The &C.
centric rod on the Observer engine plays III
and out, night and day, forever and ever
on the Free Pass.
There is a mig in the wood pile" or q
rabbit in the brush pile" with the OBJ
server. Just why the Observer SHES so at
exchanging advertising for mileage is not
made known, but as Postum" says, there
is q reason"
You have seen Br'er Rabbit twisted out
OF a hollow tree where he had taken lodg,
ing for safety. A split stick, a grape vine
or a bramble briar did the work. You
pushed the briar into the hollow stump un-
til you felt something soft: then you began
to gently twist the briar, which quickly
fastened on Br'er Rabbits tender skin. A
few turns, and Br'er Rabbit was fastened
A gentle pull, and Br'er Rabbit was your
meat.
. Now, the Observer rabbit is "treed be-
yant a doubt" The Observer rabbit has
given himself away by sundry scratches
and wiggles in the Free Pass log.
But the question Is, how to get him out.
Can he be smoked out2 Will the forked
stick bring him out The bramble is the
best instrument, but it is worst on Br'er
Rabbits meat.
Suppose We try smoke on the Observer
rabbit first.
Come now, Observer, come down out OF
that Free Pass log. Tell US truly why you
Shy at exchange Of advertising for trans
p~ortatoh and thus hide in the Free Pass
log. We know you are in there; come out!
Such an exchange Is nothing more than
barter. Barter Is still a respectable and
honest way Of carrying on trade. Every
body under the sun has bartered more or
less in his day.
What made you shy into that Free Pass
log? Come out!
That's q nice little br'er rabbit; come
down, now; we just want to know why you
SHE'D into that Free Pass log.
Last Saturday morning nine thousand
nine hundred and ninety-nine men took
~ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and
n~inety-nine eggs to town and bartered
them for soap, starch and soda do you
understand? soap starch and soda! Then
why cannot I take my little measly plumb
er's dozen Of advertising eggs and ex-
change them?
That's a pretty rabbit; come down! this
lie only smoke. No bramble briar here.
Come down, Br'er Rabbit out Of that Free
Pass log. =,
Did the Observer get more in return for
Its advertising eggs than they were worth,
and for this reason has a crouch?
Oh. sh-h-h-h-- Maybe the Observers
advertising eggs are No, no! that
could not be. Then come out, Br'er Rab-
bit, come out!

Aikens Speech.

Congressman Aiken made a strog plea
for the rural free delivery service in con-
gress last week. He.has for a long time
been a kind Of faster-father in congress for
the rural service boys and the good people
they serve. He has presented some facts
in this speech that will be hard to get
around when final settlement Of the car
riers cause is up. There are no frills on
his remarks, but as an appeal to the un-
emotional House Of Representatives, it is
all the better for that.
