THE DOCTORS AND A LAY.
MAN.

1t was the pleasure of the writer,
as the guest of Drs. Neuffer, Gam
brell and Simpson to attend the meet.
ing of the Third District Medical So
ciety, held in Greenwood last Thurs.
day. The trip was made in DIR. Neuf'
fer's machine, and barring a slight
mishap on the way over, was ex'
tremely pleasant.
The meeting was a very pleasant
one and the entertainment provided
by the doctors of Greenwood was
not the least pleasant feature of the
occasion.
AS the only layman present, the
writer naturally felt just a little awk-
ward, but the doctors were 80 gen.

The writer paid a visit to the Office
of The Greenwood Index last week
and found just what one might ex.
pect to see in the home of such an
excellent journal-a neatly kept and
well equipped office, modern in all
its appointments. To one who loves
his craft such a shop is an inspiration,
The Index deserves and receives q
splendid support from its home town.

uine in their hospitality that any
such feelings were soon set at rest.
Going to the association meeting in
the belief that he had well-pronolmc-
ed symptoms of malaria, the layInan,
after hearing the various papers read
and discussed, arrived at the conclu-
sion that either one Of Il dozen differ
ent diseases might be the one par
ticular pet which his system harbor-
ed-or mayhap his trouble embraced
them all. At any rate he left with a
pronounced case of dandruff.
But, to he serious, it was inspiring
to listen to the men learned in medi-
cine tell of the work which they had
done for the relief of human suffer
ing. The vast amount of study and
of research work which the doctors
had put into the subjects under div.
cussion were evidenced by thought.
full and Instructive papers that were
read and over and under all, under.
lying the hard work and the pains
taking research and the systematic
and orderly deduction Of conclusions
was the search for knowledge--knowl.
edge that would help to relieve the
sutterings of humanity and prolong
human life. 1t was truly a revela-
ton and an inspiration.
If the apparent sang froid with
which the surgeons told of difficult
and dangerous operations caused a
slight shiver, the evident pleasure
displayed in the consciousness that
they had not only contributed to the
well-being of a fellowman but had
added to the sum of scientific knowl-
edge, was more than sufficient recon.
pense.
But surgery was not the only
branch of science under discussion.
Diseases in which the knife is of no
value were also handled in the same
manner. Typhoid fever, tuberculo.
sis, diseases of children.and other ills
to which human flesh is heir were
taken up and experiences related
showing the results obtained by va
rious methods of treatment. Ideas
were interchanged as to the best
means for detecting disease and fol
arresting its progress in the speediest
manner.
The doctors OF the Third District
Society are a fine looking, body OF
men, who have apparently not neg.
lected the care of their own health
while watching over that of other
folks, and the manner in which they
showed their appreciation of the ele,
CANT dinner which their hosts had
prepared for their refreshment evi
denced the faith of the doctors il
their own skill in disorders Of the
gaStronomic regions.
May they live long anil prosper and
grow in knowledge that will help Il,
all to live better, because healthier
and to live longer.

AS TO GOOD \

The movement for good roads was
.inaugurated last Thursday under
the most favorable circumstances.
Whether the movement will culmi-
nate in success depends upon the
manner in which the campaign is
managed from this time on. There
appears to be a practical unanimity
of opinion that the building Of: good
roads in Abbeville county would be
of immense benefit to all citizens.
The sentiment at the meeting ap-
peared to be overwhelming in favor
of taking a forward step along this
line.
AS to the retirement of the bonds
within the time stated by Supervisor
Stevenson, we are forced to think
that, with all due respect to our SUI
pervisor, he is a little off in his fig
ures. 1t is hardly probable that four
teen years would be sufficient time
for the retirement of an issue of $780,
600. But be that as it may, the mat
ter Of great Importance is an assur-
ance that the money, if voted, will be
spent to the best possible advantage
and in such a way that all portions of
the county will share equally; in the
benefits. The details of uhe'expendi-
ture will have to be worked out and
the facts laid before the voters prior
to the election.
While there is no agency that will
mean more for the general develop
ments of the county than the build
ing Of good roads, it is nevertheless
trne that it will not prove an Edo.
RADIO. 1t will take time to realize
upon the investment, but if the re-
suits may not come as fast as some
of us might wish, if the work is prop
erly done and the roads are adequate
ly maintained after construction we
can reasonably hope for ar ultimate
development that will meet the ex-
~pectations of the most sanguine.
The matter is one of the most i'm
portant that has come before the peo-
pie of Abbeville county in many
fyears and should have a full and free
discussion by all interested. With
this end in view, The Press and Ban.
ner invites the citizens of Abbeville
county to express their views through
its columns. We will welcome COM
m%unications bearing on any phase of
the subject, providing they are
accompanied by the name of the au-
thor-not necessarily to be published,
but that the paper may know that
the writer is a bona fide citizen of the
|county who is interested in the gene
raj welfare.
Let us have a full discussion of
ways and means to achieve the best
results in order that we may avoid
mistakes. This paper will gladly
publish your ideas if they are worthy
of consideration.

Speaking Of electing judges by the
people, it is interesting to note that
there is now a movement on foot in
Chicago to have the judges appointed
by the Governor, npon the recon-.
mendation of a board acting in the
capacity of an advisory committee.
The claim is made that such a step
would tend to remove the Office OF
Judge from politics.
