A Correction.

Union, S. c., March 10, 1913.
Editor Union Times,
Union, S. C..
/ see in your last issue of The
Times an article from your Santuc
correspondent, signed "Hey Denver,
that l held an inquest over the dead
body of the negro Charlie Thompson,
near Santuc. After investigating the
affair l saw no necessity for an in
quest and did not hold any inquest at
all, and wish to correct the false
statement that he claimed to have
heard, and unless "Hey Denver" cor
rects his statement about the matter
through the same channel he has ad-
vertised me, hereby feel that I
have been grossly and wilfully mis-
represented without any just cause.
Very respectfully,

FIGHT ON HOOKWORM
BEGINS ON MARCH 18
The State Board of Health
Begins Work in Union
County March 18th, and
Will Continue for Six
Weeks.

The State Board of Health will
have -dispensary points for treating
the hookworm disease at the follow
ing places: Santuc, every Tuesday
at l.. B. Jeter, Jr's store; Cross Keys,
every Wednesday, at B. G.. Wilburn's
store; Jonesville, every Thursday at
Jonesville Drug Co.'s store; Lockhars,
every Friday at DIR. J. H. Hopes of
flee; Union every Saturday at the
court house.
DR.. l.. A. Riser, who is assistant di-
rector of rural sanitation, is in
charge of this work. The work has
been going on in the State for more
than two years, and wherever the
work has been carried on, it has re-
suited in very great benefit.
Some counties already worked
have shown as low at Is per cent,
while others have shown sc per cent
of all those examined to be afflicted
with the disease. 1t is not as preva-
lent in clay districts as in sandy and
loam districts, but Dr. Riser says he
has already found evidences of the
disease in Union county. 1t is more
frequently found among school chill
dren, and particularly in the country
districts.
The money to do this work comes
to the State Board of Health from the
donation made by Jno. d. Rockefeller.
Sr.
In recent article in Pearson's
Magazine it was stated that the loss
from hookworm disease to the State
OF South Carolina alone, in one year,
amounts to thirty million dollars. Al
sad factor in this situation is that
while the disease is easily durable
and wholly preventable, our peopls
are slow to realize the gain by taking
interesti q ~ & q. 8.
The worms i've on t the bioSd 81 Che
afflicted ones, and as the body de-
pends upon the blood for nodrish-
ment, all parts of the body suffer.
Children who were treated in the
school last year, in cases where the
records were kept, showed an i'm
provement in languages of 20 per
cent. There is no doubt about the
good this movement will work, but it
depends largely upon the people as to
just how much good our community
will derive from it. Give it YOUR
hearty cooperation. The war on filth
and disease is now on. A man who
opposes this work should be relegated
to the scrap heap of past ages.
DR.. Riser asks that parents, if pos
sible, come with the children for ex-
animation. The examination and
treatment are absolutely free. 1t is
no more disgrace to have hookworm
than to have typhoid fever. The dis
grace is in one having it and not
showing enough interest in his own
welfare to take treatment and thus
rid himself of disease that is, to
say the least, a fearful tax ON his
body.
This work will begin on March
18th, Tuesday of next week, and will
continue six weeks.

Harry Orchard
Wants Pardon

Harry Orchard, the self-contessed
murderer of former governor Stannen-
berg, of Idaho, has asked for pardon
from the state penitentiary in which
he is now confined under life sentence.
The Metropolitan Church Association
of Waukesha, Wis, is supporting the
movement upon Orchards promise to
be good if given his freedom.
We wonder if he has promised that
he will not burn any more cheese
factories, rob any more banks, desert
any more wives and children, make
and plant no more dynamite bombs,
never again join a labor organization
while in the employ Of Pinkerton De-
tective Agency, and never again try
to hang working men that capitalism
cannot buy.
We do not believe in capital punish
ment; we do not believe in any kind
of murder, but we do believe in pun
ishment for those who commit crimes
for profit. Harry Orchard is better
of behind prison walls than he would
be anywhere else. No decent person
would trust him, when once his pres
ence was known, he would be snubbed
and some foolish person might feel
justified in doing him personal injury.
Orchard is a dangerous man and he IS
better off behind the grim walls OF the
state prison. His name is stencil
in the nostriIs of decent people.
