- Gaffney special Of December 10,
to the Columbia State: While return
ing to Gaffney from Washington yes
day morning, Capt. ]. B. Bell, a mem
ber Of the local bar, met with seri-
Gus accident while on board south
The train was standing in the yards at

sleeping car to get breakfast. He
turned to say 8 word to friend who
was behind him and the cars having
been cut apart Capt. Bell fell be-
tween. He sustained very painful
decorations Of his legs and body, two
deep cuts being made on his left leg.
He succeeded in drawing himself up

Columbia special to the News and
Courier: In view Of the agitation now
going on to build up in South Caro-
lima a live stock industry, the sug-
gestion made by Asher Brown OF CO.
lumbia, that a bill be passed by the
limit for the slaughtering Of young
calves will be received with much in
terest. Mr.. Brown will very probably
have such a bill introduced at the ap-
preaching session of the legislature.
It Is proposed by him that the bill
forbid the slaughtering Of calves under
a given age-say two years-and that
the act provide penalty for violation
that will make its enforcement prac-
ticable. 1t is pointed out that the
passage of such an act would make
for live stock industry and relieve
the scarcity Of beef, and incidentally
help to reduce the cost of living.
The killing Of very young calves caus-
es fewer animals to be raised for beef
and reduces the possible birth rate Of
cattle. In this locality and in other
parts Of the state 1t is said that many
farmers sell their calves at the earliest
moment they can dispose Of them and
the butchers slaughter them for veal
Immediately. II these calves were
raised and bred by other stock later
on the live stock industry would grow
in South Carolina. 1t Is very prob
able some legislation affecting this
situation will come up at the next ses-
sion Of the general assembly.
- Assistant Attorney General Fred
H. Dominick, for Attorney General
Peoples, says a Columbia dispatch, has
declined to allow the use Of the name
of the state in a proceeding against
H. E. Fitfield, Of Cherokee, whom the
state medical association wishes to
prevent from further practicing med
icine. The main reason assigned in
the refusal to permit the use Of the
states name in an injunction proceed
Ing was that the act charged against
Fitfield Is an indictable offence. The
attorney generals office, also in pas
sing. set its foot down on the injunc-
tion process. H. E. Fitfield. accord
ing to a letter from w. w. Lewis, an
attorney at Yorkville, came to Chero-
kee county from Maine about three
years ago and has been practicing
medicine without license. Mr.. Lewis
states in his letter that he Is employ
ed by the state medical association to
bring proceedings against Fitfield, who
has never taken medical examination,
although he has promised to do so.
Col. Lewis points out that Fitfield does
not possess the literary qualifications
necessary to take the medical exami-
nation and that Fitfleld Is not a gradu-
ate Of any accredited medical school.
Col. Lewis states in his letter that the
association would rather proceed
against Fitfield by injunction, the plea
being that his practicing of medicine
Is a nuisance and detrimental to the
health of the people in his communi-
ty. The letter concludes by asking for
the use Of the name Of the state in
proceeding against Fitfield, this being
necessary before an injunction could
be brought.
