grace 1915 are largely their benefci-
aries. How, we'll they wrought, with
what earnestness they toiled, time and
eternity will disclose, but this we
know, the tone and moral fiber of the
community was elevated because of
their answering integrity, they were
loyal to the state, and were governed
by correct and lofty ideals.
When reconstruction came, with all
it's horrors and disgraces, the mer-
chants of Newberry were steadfast to
principle, were unwavering in civic
pride, and unfinching in their dis
charge Of the highest obligations Of
citizenship. 1 recall one particular in
stance during the troublous times OF

bia, determined to exercise the guber-
material functions or know the reason
why, nearly every store had closed,

the capital to lend a hand. When
the Red Shirts were organized, no
more valiant service was rendered to
the Democracy than by the merchants
of the town, and this is not said in
disparagement of any class, as all per-
formed the freeman's privilege. viz,
maintain and support good govern
ment.

Children
Sacrificed

New York, Sept. 3O.-Dr. Louis 1.
Dublin, a member of the advisory coun
Gil Of the New York board of health,
in the last issue of the boards bulle-
tin, gives some startling facts regard
ing the mortality of the children of
the apoor. He says: The lives, of the
poor children are blasted before they
are born, due to the fact that the
mothers must help earn miserable
living. 1t is evident that the infants
of these mtohers show much higher
death rate than do those of mothers
engaged in homework only. That
these conditions play part in mortal
ity is most common; the converse also
holds good. This has been demon
strated in Johnstown, Pa, where the
low family income and high infant
mortality are clearly demonstrated. 1t
was also further confirmed in an in
vestigation at Fall River, where a
group of Y fathers was interviewed,
employed in the textile industry, earn
ing an average of $10.22 per week.
The wives Of q per cent of these
fathers were engaged in work outside
their homes. DR.. Dublin continued his
survey in that city and discovered that
the mortality among 1873 infants, born
there, showed a death rate Of 202, a
rate more than twice as high as that
recorded of a number of the large
cities. The cause Of the slaughter of
the infants is plainly evident.
