will begin new one on the compile
ton Of this one and for this reason
we would like to be informed by our
subscribers whether or not they de-
sire this class OF reading matter. Some
extra expense and trouble Is cntailed
by the publication Of these stories. but

ton Of them The Advertiser will pub

"Et Tu, Brute!"

The Laurens Advertiser speaks edi-
torially Of Newberry rs a Smallpox
stricken city,. That is unkind, and
is not justified by facts.
The Advertiser tries to sustain its
position by saying:
Certainly the board Of health,
whether 1t endorsed the carnival or
not have allowed it to come hero
from a smallpox-strickcn city. That
the smallpox situation has reached
dangerous proportions can be judged
from tho questions asked by DR.. Geo
B. Cromcr i'll Tuesdays Observer, as
follows:
"'Please tell us what the board OF
health is doing to protect this coal
munity against smallpox.
"'lf they are doing nothing, it is
up to them to tell us why
If such sensible man as DR.. Crom-
or thinks the situation is threatening,
surely Laurcns had right TO protect
herself against It,"
Would The Advertiser say that
Laurens is "smallpox-stricken city"
because it's board of health Is trying
Ito protect that community against
smallpox?
DR.. Cromcr was simply urging en-
forcement OF compulsory vaccination
"as an additional precaution against
the spread OF the disease here"-Quot-
ing The Advertisers own language
with reference to its own town.
TO urge the enforcement of vaccina-
tion is no evidence whatever that a
town is Smallpox stricken" but of a
desire to keep it from becoming so;
and this Is as true in regard to New
berry as to Laurens or any other
town.--Ncwbcrry Observer.

A GUARDIAN ANGEL.

We would print here just Il para
graph or two from the testimony of
DR.. Eleanora b. Saunders to show the
kind-hearted interest which she took
in her unfortunate patients, as a con-
trast to the picture the governor OF
South Carolina would draw of her
as being the source of irritation in
the hospital for the insane "And we
write the family the next day, because
that is the first 'rcak from home and
they are isolated, with a certain
amount OF sadness. and we always
write them at home how they are get
ting along and wo write them fire.
qucntly until they get accustomed to
it," These are but the words of a
womanly woman and no one can doubt
their sincerity. Here Is an instance
Of her tender care of patients cntrust-
ed to her, as spoken by herself:
Every case at the time Of her ad-
mission is vaccinated against small
DoX. no matter whether she has been
vaccinated previously or not. Every
case young enough and usually not
over 49, is vaccinated against typhoid
fever. | do whatever examination is
necessary, watching them from time
to time, and every case I jot down
little notes on the case; certainly |
put down every change for better or
for worse. and every accident is noted
and how it came about This ! write
home to the family. ! economize as
much as I can, and when I write out
these things ] have the Office girl to
write out statement Of her own COM
position. She states the facts to the
family.
Every case as soon as it is admitted
Is given special care, because it is a
terrible break from their home to
the hospital and it is the tendency Of
4 great hospital to lose sight OF the
individual; and the tendency is to in
dividualize as much as possible and
make them feel welcome. because a
great many Of them feel that they are
not. And we write the family the
next day. because that Is the first
break from home and they are iso-
lated, with a certain amount Of sad
ness, and we always write them at
homo how they arc getting along and
we write them frequently until they
get accustomed to 1t. The patient Is
frequently more happy than the FAM
lily. We try to allay their anxiety by
writing as often as possible, and I
give them my address on a little card
and tell them what they may expect,
the treatment that they will get, the
ward on which they are placed. | en-
courage them all to let ME know Of
any suggestion that they wish carried
out and ! will do it If can. and If
can not I tell them frankly why.

As To Smallpox.

1t is not the purpose of Tho Herald
| and News to have any controversy
with the newspapers at Laurens, or
with the good people Of Laurcns, in re-
gard to the smallpox situation. The
facts were stated in the last issue Of
The Herald and News, and as we stat
ed at the time we do not consider
that the smallpox situation is any
more alarming in Ncwberry than in
almost any other section Of tho State.
1t was also stated that the opinion
prevailed that one Of the reasons NOV
ing Laurens to quarantine was to get
out Of the contract for the carnival
rather than on account of any small
pox situation in Ncwbcrry. The Lau-
rcns Advertiser says: "While the peO-
pie of Laurcns are quite ready to adj
nit that the coming Of the carnival
was very determining factor in the
decision to quarantine against New
berry" which is practically an admis-
sion that the statement Is correct that
was to get out OF the contract for the
carnival. 1t Is true that the Adver-
tiser adds: "It Is probable that 1t
would have been ordered anyway af-
to light"
The Advertiser takes pleasure in
quoting what DR.. Cromer had to say
in the Observer, and adds, "If such
sensible man as Dr. Cromer thinks
the situation is threatening, surely
Laurcns had right to protect herself
against it." We have no criticism to
make Of DR.. Cromer, but we will ven
ture to say that DR.. Cromer, as a cit
izen OF Newberry, should have found
out from the board Of health what the
condition was before writing the few
paragraphs that he did which do
intimate that the condition was seri-
GUS. The board Of health stated last
week that there were only IL cases in
the entire town and that all Of these
cases were under strict quarantine
and that there had been no deaths In
the town and that the cases now here
were about ready to be discharged.
Tie rumor that went out from Lau-
rcns was that there we're 400 cases.
which would indicate, of course. an
epidemic, and such n statement to be
published throughout the State Is cal
culatcd to do injury to the town In a
business way. In fact we are told
that some Of the delegates that were
to come here this week to the Stu
dents Volunteer convention have de-
cided not to come on account ( the ex-
travagant reports on smallpox which
have been published. We repeat again,
there Is no epidemic and in proportion
there are no more cases Of smallpox In
Newberry than in many other sections
of the State, and that the extravagant
report sent out from Laurens, and the
quarantine placed against Newberry,
have been an injustice to the town
and real injury has been the result.
We have asked the board of health to
make an official statement as to the
condition.--The Herald and News.

marks of Unity and Catholicity to-
gether, and you will see how they
show that the Church to which we
belong is the true Church. In all
nations and races you find Catholics
agreeing in the one deepest and
gravest matter of their lives, namely,
their religion, which binds them to
unity Of faith, worship, moral conVic-
tions, in obedience to the Supreme
Head Of the Church, Our Holy Father
the Pope. Think of the unanimous
outburst of emotion that went up from
Catholics the world over when God
called away the sanity Plus X, and
again when He gave us our present
Holy Father, Benedict XIV. These
nations differ violently on every other
subject except the one which most
easily divides mankind. What is the
secret of Catholic unity? God is with
His Church as He promised to be, and
preserves her children in marvellous
unity according to the prayer of Jesus
Christ the night before He died. This
is the merest sketch of one small page
out of countless volumes that have
been written to show that the Cath
Ollie Church is the Church of God.

Der 20, at the first public session OF
the conference.
The representatives of the st. Vim.
cent de Paul Society, who will be
present at the conference, will hold
special meeting to complete the
work of the national reorganization of
the society. Arrangements for this
meeting and the conduct of it are un-
der the direction of Mr.. Thomas M.
Mulry of New York.
The Federation of Catholic Wom-
ems Charities of the United States
will hold a number of meetings for
the purpose of completing organiza-
ton, the first Of which will be held
on Saturday afternoon, September 10,
at o'clock at the Catholic University.
Steps will be taken towards the Gre
alton of a national committee on state
institutions, whose object will be a
closer study of the relations between
our Catholic charities and public au-
thorities.
1t is expected also that diocesan
directors of charity, and chaplains to
hospitals, asylums and prisons will
form associations to further the in
terests of their specific works.
The executive committee has re-
ceived many inquiries concerning at
tendance at the conference. In an
swer to them, the committee states
that all Catholics who are interested
in charity work are cordially invited
to be present and to take full part in
all of the deliberations of the con-
ference. 1t is not necessary that one
be delegated by an organization. Many
organizations do send representatives
and they are encouraged to do so. But
the conference invites widest parti-
cipation in it's work by all Catholics.
Credentials are not required, nor is
any form of certificate used by the
conference. The conference is sup
ported by membership dues which are
paid once in two years. The dues are
as follows: Paying membership,
$500; sustaining membership, $1,000;
subscribing membership, any amount
in excess of $1,000. Each member who
pays dues as described, will receive,
without further inquiry or cost, j a
bound copy of the Report of the Pro-
ceedings. This report is usually a
volume of approximately 400 pages.
The conference, which was organ
lied in 1910, is represented by TWEEN
ty-four states and thirty-eight cities,
and it's influence is extended through
out the entire country. It's chief aim
is to bring about an exchange of
views among experienced Catholic
men and women, who are active in
the work of charity.
Requests for information addressed
to the secretary of the National Con,
ference of Catholic Charities, Rev. Dr.
Kerby, Catholic University, Washing
ton, D. c., will be promptly and thor
oughly answered.

had been somewhat modified as re-
CARDS both French and Italian ques-
tions. Nevertheless, he is still cred
tied with the strong French sym
pathies which were entertained by
Cardinal Rampolla, and which largely
colored that statesman's politics. 1t
is not impossible that a desire to
facilitate a reconciliation with France,
after the great struggle in which all
party divisions are submerged in
common patriotism, may have had it's
influence on the choice the Conclave
has made. The distrust of Cardinal
Della Chiesa which some Italian
Liberals have felt may, perhaps, come
from the fact that Rampolla's attitude
on the Italian question was uncom-
promising. But much has happened to
change certain aspects of that ques-
ton since Rampolla quilted Office,
and as Archbishop, the successor of
Cardinal Svampa was conciliatory and
friendly towards the Italian authori-
ties"

GOVERNOR ERERHART's LETTER.

Governor Eberhart concurs with
President Wilson in urging the OBJ
serVance of October 4 as Peace Sun
day." The following proclamation has
been issued by him:
''Supplementing the action taken by
President Wilson | am calling the spe-
cial attention of the people of Mime
sofa to the fact that October 4 is to
be set aside as day especially conse-
Grated to the cause of peace. We of
America are especially fortunate at
this time that we have been kept free
from entangling alliances which might
result in international complications.
But while peace and prosperity reign
in this country our interest in human
ity and our recognition of the brother
hood of man the world over must
cause an overwhelming sense of SYM
pathy for the peoples of Europe and
other parts of the world who are not
so fortunate.
Each succeeding day brings to us
additional news concerning the horror
incident to the conflict of armed men
across the water. The tragedy of these
events goes further than the enumera-
ton of men shot down by their fellow
men. Back of the list of fatalities is
the story of stricken homes and griev-
ing women.
Between every line of the stories
Of blood and carnage each of us must
read the inspired message delivered in
the Sermon on the Mount-a message
that we love one another. Even the
irony of the events that are transpir-
ing cannot prevent a keen realization
of this divine message among those
actually engaged in the conflict. In
the helplessness of human events men
instinctively raise their voices in sup
plication to higher power.
I'm exemplification of the faith that
is in us let us in unison appeal to the
Almighty Power, invoking His mercy
upon His erring people. /, accordingly
beg of all God-fearing people of Min
nesota in their churches, in fraterna
organizations and in their homes to
observe Sunday, October 4, as Peace
Day, SO that the voices of the people
of Minnesota must ascend in a single
prayer to the Supreme Being thai
there be brought about peace on earth
and good will towards men,
