The Barnwell People rounded out
the thirty-fourth year of it's existence
last week, with Maj. Jno. w. Holmes.
its veteran editor, as optimistic and
loyal as ever. The Herald hopes the
Major will enjoy many more birth
days, for he is of the type of editor
that the State can i'll afford to dc
without. A patriot and gentleman
his pen is always logical and force
full in advocating those things which
make for a greater people and q
greater country.

Bamberg needs more houses. There
is not a vacant house in town, and
parties are wanting to rent places
:t to live in and can't get them. The
growth of the town is being retarded
because of this, and we trust that
those who have vacant lots will erect
thereon houses to rent. People can't
move here unless they can get a
house to live in.

curiosity in the shape of an ele-

off and sent it to Rochester, n. Y,
where it was tanned and converted
into a lap robe The hair is long
and thick and the underside is beau
tifully lined with heavy cloth.

The fall season is hele when our
main business street is generally
Scrowded with people from the coun-
try, selling cotton, buying goods, and
attending to other business, and we
most respectfully submit o.city coun-
ell, without any intention of trying
to run the town, that the speed limit
for automobiles on the business
street be strictly enforced. The
speed at which machines are run at
present is entirely too fast, and the
lives of our country friends should
be protected. People will not want
to come to Bamberg to trade If they
are in danger of being run over by
automobiles every time they cross
the street.

Civilization is Killing Indians.

Washington, Sept. 2.-Determined
to protect what remains of the race
of American Indians from rapid ex-
tinction by disease, which now threat
ems them, the Indian office has de-
cided to pursue a vigorous policy in
improving hygienic conditions among
the wards of the nation.
Commissioner of Indian Affairs
Valentine to-day declared that the
application of preventive medical
methods to present conditions of In
dian life was vital to their progress
and to the usefulness of the educa-
tional, industrial and other activities
in which the government was en-
gagged on their behalf.
Among the means which the In
dian office already has inaugurated
in part and which it will push with
vigor in it's effort to preserve the In
dian from being entirely obliterated
by tuberculosis, trachoma and other
infectious diseases which are attack
ing them, are moving picture shows
revealing to them proper and sanitary
methods of living, house to house
canvasses by physicians, open air
sleeping at the Indian schools and
sanitariums.
The moving picture scheme is to
give them, by the comparative meth
cd, pictures of the wrong way OF
living, followed by photographs show
ing the correct way. DR.. Ferdinand
Schoemaker will have charge of this
work and will travel from reservation
to reservation giving his illustrated
talks.
Reports show that the death rate
among the Indians is two and 2 half
times as great as among the white
race and that the average mortality
from tuberculosis is 256 per cent.
higher for Indians than for whites.
Hence the Indian bureaus determin-
alton to better these conditions.
During the past year the house to
house campaign by physicians was
started on the White Earth reserva-
ton in Minnesota and with such
good results that the work will be
pushed. AS a result of travelling
over this reservation, awakening the
Indians to a realization of the dan
gers of tuberculosis and other infec-
tious diseases, and pointing how they
might improve their living conditions,
the agency physicians report that san
itary conditions have improved
among fully half the Indians on the
reservation and that "the Indians,
instead of being reluctant to. seek
the physicians of their own accord,
are now visiting the physicians Of
fees in a way that shows their real
interest in their own physical condi-
ton and welfare"
The high death rate among the In
dians has been due, it was explained,
to the change few years ago in their
way of living and their inability to
adjust themselves to frame and log
houses in place of airy and easily
moved tepees.

When you pull down the town in
which is your home, you are pulling
down yourself, and when you build
up you are building up yourself and
your neighbor. Try and Danish
from your mind the mistaken idea
that all good things are off in some
other locality. Give your town all
the praise it can legitimately bear.
1t certainly will do you no harm and
will cost you nothing; but above all
patronize your home institutions.

HOME WORTH MORE.
Wife Will Not Give Up Husband for
$SOO,OOO.

New Haven, Conn, Sept. Mrs.
May Deffney Baldwin, the black
smiths wife who learned ten days
ago that she was heir to a $780, 600
estate, finds herself in as strange a
predicament as ever befell woman.
She has been informed that to in
herit the bequest, which will far ex-
ceed the original estimate, and is
probably in excess of s800,000-as
there is fully 100000 of real estate
she must marry the sweetheart of
her childhood in Brooklyn, George D.
Curtis.
Mrs. Baldwin is very much married
at the present moment, as five chill
dren bear testimony. Furthermore,
she is very much in love with her
husband, even if he is a blacksmith
and barely able to make livelihood
in these days of automobiles. Mrs.
Baldwin and her husband occupy a
small cottage at Milford, far from
any train or trolley, where life's
economies are practiced to the last
degree.
Won't Quit Husband.
But so far as any indication has
been given since she learned of the
bequest, Mrs. Baldwin has not the
slightest intention of giving up her
blacksmith husband. It would be
necessary for her, to fulfill the terms
of the bequest, to obtain divorce
and also obtain Curtis consent to
become her husband.
This last does not enter into her
calculations so much as the first, and
Mrs. Baldwin, according to her
friends, thinks more of her five chill
dren than of money, even in such a
large amount.
Mrs. Baldwin's marriage to the
blacksmith was in the nature OF
runaway match, neighbors say. Her
parents were fairly well-to-do In
Brooklyn, N. Y, and it is said Curtis
was looked upon as likely suitor
for her hand. But she met and loved
Baldwin, and when opposition to the
marriage arose she settled matters
in her own way with an elopement.
Despite the hard times that have
befallen Baldwin during their we'd
ded years, she has never been heard
to murmur a word of regret for her
hasty marriage.
Uncle Disliked Match.
The uncle in Minneapolis, it is
said, left her all his wealth, with this
string attached to the bequest, al
ways frowned on her marriage to
Baldwin, it is understood, and was
partial to George D. Curtis.
The will, it is supposed, was made
before her marriage to Baldwin, and
never changed. Lawyers from New
York have visited Mrs. Baldwin, and
it is said there is ground for a con-
test Of the will on her behalf.
There have been court decisions
that where impossible conditions are
attached to a legacy the legacy will
stand even though no attempt is made
to fulfill the conditions imposed. This
is practically true in the case Of con-
ditions enforcing the marriage OF a
legatee to certain person where the
legatee is already married.
But until the will has been passed
upon by the Minnesota courts, Mrs.
Baldwin's predicament will remain
one to fever the brow of any DRAM
afist

Presbyterian Church Notes

In spite of the inclement weather
last Sabbath we had good audiences
and helpful services. And on Tues
day night our best expectations were
exceeded by the audience that came
out over slippery side walks to hear
the concert given by the Davies
Brothers of Atchison, Kans.
These gentlemen are indeed artists
in their particular profession. We
hope we may be able to arrange for
another concert by these gentlemen
under much more favorable conditions
in the near future.
We are looking for a good day
again next Sunday and trust all the
membership and friends will rally to
the work of the church in some OF
its very many different lines of SER
vice and uplift. The pastor will
preach both morning and evening and
an attempt is being made TO make
the evening service more attractive
to outsiders and young people. Rev
erent in attitude, deyout in spirit, and
with dignified ~cheerfulness we seek I
worship God and help our community.
viii you help us in this good work.
