Miss Svoak has obtained rooms at

she will be shown about the town dur.

her work will be completed so that
calls for her services may be receiv-

Miss gVoak's work will not conflict

As concrete example OF the vital
need of this community for such work
there is typical case OF which the
details were learned today.
This Is the Miller child on Spring
street. This child took its first step
today. Two years old, when 1t con-
tracted typhoid in March from the
epidemic transmitted through dirty
milk, It has suffered for five months
and Is now only beginning to recov.
er. The fact that typhoid is seldom
severe in babies was the only reason
this child did not die.
Milk inspection and visiting nurse
would have prevented this.
In GAINESVILLE Is another child that
IS being slowly killed by loathsome
sores that are eating away its brain
and spinal nerve centers. The miss.
tonaryl work OF a Red Cross nurse
might have prevented this.

After the first half Newberry was un-
able to score. being held twice for
downs within easy striking distance OF
goal. Woford was weak in the first
period, when the principal damage to
the Methodists was done. The Won
derful end running Of Taylor for the
Indians was a strong factor in the
winners ofense. The game was very
rough; the Lutherans being frequently
pensliEed. A man on each side was
put out for fighting, while several On
either team were knocked out. In the
second half, Newberry seemed to lose

the British spinners of economic con-
ditions. The Englishman has made
up his mind that the war shall not
deprive him of his world trade and he
has caught the American spinner
asleep again. The manufacturer here
who is short Of his requirements will
have to pay big price to the own
ers of spot cotton or shut his mill
down, because at present prices there
is not going to be enough cotton to go
around. England does not mind send
ind. gold here now because she knows
how to get it back again when the war
is over and will make money selling
such cotton as she does not wish to
spin to their business competitors at
big profit.
Last year they made use Of the Lev
er hill to milk about two cents pound
out of the market here because the
Erglishmen could trade in the ex-
change here, while the Americans
could not trade in the Liverpool ex-
change. This meant that the English
man could at all times buy in tine
cheapest market and sell in the dear
est, while the American was denied
the same privilege. That section OF
the law has now been repealed, and

has made up his mind that he could
make more money buying up the crop
and selling the surplus than he could
by aiding in holding it down"
