AT the meeting i'm Columbia in

Omar Temple to hold its

they have ever had.
The Sumter Shrine Club was ask
ed by the Potentate to organize, If
possible. an Arabic Patrol for the
meeting on Thanksgiving in Sumter.
At first II wan thought impossible TO
organize this patrol for the reason
that the membership of the club was

large number of persons, more than
nifty per cent of those presenting
themselves for examination having
been found infected, but he reports
that he is disappointed that more peo-
pie have not taken advantage of the

tistics Of the campaign conducted in
this county, two years ago show con-
clusively that the percentage of in
lection in Sumter county is very high
and that at the lowest estimate there
are approximately ten thousand per-
sons in the county suffering from
hook worm disease and therefore in
need of immediate treatment The
people do not realize the gravity of
this disease or the terrible penalty
they and their children pay for neg
lecting the opportunity that is with

and complete relief at no cost. Every
man woman and child who is not in
robust health, with good complexion,
plenty of color in their cheeks and a
normal appetite and good digestion

examination is simple and requires

cheeks were pale and hollow Because
bread had been taken from their
mouths by the heartless oligarchy of
Greed that was deveuring their young
lives. This little army of Gods in
nocents told the story of the miners
wrongs and sufferings in thunder
tones.
Then came the meeting of Mother
Jones on the capitol steps. With a
delegation of miners and their families
she invaded the State House grounds
and spoke from the steps. It was a
monster demonstration. The officials
and the capitol attaches came out to
hear her. Governor Glasscock muster
ed up enough courage to leave the Sc
clusion of his Office to listen to the
speaker. But a few words was enough
for him. Mother Jones in her char
acteristic manner pilloried the Gov
ernor for the famous part he was talk
ing in the effort to drive the miners
back to the mines. This meeting, too,
made history.
By this time the State was begin

and civic bodies were calling on the
Governor to stop the industrial war

meet at Charleston to discuss some
method of settlement. The meeting
was held Immediately upon its con-
vening the operators started to make

clude all representatives of the min

session of a couple Of hours, broke up

the initiative and called a meeting

STORIES OF SHERIDAN.
The Great Writer Had Hard Time
Dodging His Creditors.

Like many brilliant man before
and since his time. Richard Brinsley
Sheridan Tad a habit of resting on his
oars bit too long when he thought
himself tired. Then, finding himself
short of money, he would borrow. This
habit increased with his years. and.
moreover, his efforts to discharge his
obligations grew less aud less. His
reputation at last was such that trades
men demanded cash on delivery.
Benjamin Robert Hayden. who was
himself woefully addicted to the same
bad habit, tells with evident glee two
stories of his fellow sufferer.
A butcher one day brought a leg of
mutton to Sheridan's house. The cook
took it, put it into the kettle, and went
upstairs for the money. As she stayed
away some time. the man entered the
kitchen. took off the cover of the
kettle. fished out the joint and walked
off with it,
But the laugh was not always on
Sheridan. A creditor whom he had
successfully avoided for some time
came plump upon him as he emerged
from Pall Mall. There was no posi-
bility of lodging. but Sheridan cid not
lose his presence of mind.
