BLACK MolES.
They Are Always Danger siens Calling
For the Surgeon.

They Are Always Danger Signs Calling
For the Surgeon.
AT an operation performed less than
three months before his death DR..
John B. Murphy called the attention
of his students to black mole ON the
patients face with this remark:
"A black mole is always a sinister
tesion and one that is to be regarded
with distrust, so that the first thing l
want to do is to remove it. A black
mole must be handled with wholesome
respect, for one dares not traumatize
it with impunity, either by accident or
design. / therefore shall go wide of 1t
into healthy tissue when removing it,"
In the latest issue of the "Clinics of
John b. Murphy DR.. Broders and
MacCarty are quoted as saying that
black moles certainly predispose to a
form of skin cancer called "melano-
epithelioma" and as insisting that all
augmented areas of skin, such as warts
and moles, should be removed when
these are in locations which are or
have been subjected to injury.
The danger lies in what is known by
physicians as "metastasis," which is
the shifting or transference of a dis
eased condition from one organ to an
other. mole is a diseased condition
Of the skin in one spot and generally
confined to that spot, but when an in
jury takes place nearby it often hap
pens that malignant cells migrate from
the deeper parts of the mole and take
up their position In the wound, where
they grow and spread and produce
form OF cancer. A magnified section
of mole shows that the pigmented
cells extend sometimes quite deep into
the tissues below the skin The migra-
ton of cells seems to take place by
way of the lymphatics
All cancer specialists agree that a
mole or wart developing late in life is
to be regarded with so much suspicion
that the only safety lies in having 1t
cut out.

OUR FOREIGN BORN
They Amount to Only a Seventh
of the Whole Population.
GERMANS IN THIS COUNTRY.

More Than Eight Millions of Our Peo-
pie Are Natives of the FatherIand or
Are Descended From Them-Intsr-
estng immigration Facts.
During the last quarter of a century
there has been startling falling off In
the percentage of Germans in the total
number of immigrants who have come
to our Shores" says n bulletin of the
National Geogra phic society. "With
more than 100000 immigrant arrlv-
ais since 1890 only 1 ,O23, 900 have been
Germans, whereas in the ia years be-
tween the establishment of the Ameri-
can republic and $500 out of a total of
15,8S900 immigrants there We're 5,125,-
600 Germans-every third arrival
Teuton.
"If from the ,O23 900 who have come
to America since 1890, the period of
greatest influx of foreigners, a proper
deduction is made for those who re-
turned to their home land and those
who have died since their arrival it
will be seen that there are fewer than
a million former subjects of the kaiser
in this country who have not been here
more than twenty-six years. OF more
than 100000 people of German birth
and immediate ancestry among us less
than 100000 fail to have the back
ground of birth or long residence in
America behind them.
IAN examination of the statistics of
American immigration shows that since
the foundation of our government the
United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland has contributed S,40o,0 GOO of her
people and Germany more than G,000,
000 Ireland, with more than 100000;
Great Britain, with a little less than
100000, and Scandinavia, with some
thing less than 100000, have, together
with Germany, contributed more than
half of the total immigra ton to our
shores since the beginning of the Rev
dictionary war.
Austria Hungary stands next on the
list of contributors to the Immigrant
stream that has flowed from Europe to
America. Although Austro- Hungarians

PRACTICALLY all of the dry
farming areas west of the
Mississippi have, with the ex-
ception of few favored spots,
suffered from the unusual eli
matte conditions and drought
this year, and the complete
failure or almost complete
failure of so much of the
grain and other crops, not
under irrigation or subject to
sufficient sub-irrigation, is
the cause of widespread dis
appointment, and cannot help
having a rather depressing
effect on other lines of bust
ness whose prosperity
depends largely upon the
agricultural industry. How
ever, it must be remembered
that the condition is general
and all the states have suffer
ed alike. Farmers, therefore,
especially those recently en-
barked in the business, should
not allow themselves to
become discouraged with
their particular locality to the
point of quitting and dispos-
ing of their land at a sacrifice.
They should stay with the
land, for there is no reason to
think that next years crop
will not be a bountiful one
and will make up for the
shortages of the present. 1t
will be wise to curtail expen-
ditures and lay plans as care
fully as possible for the next
year and try again.

After the DAVIS Work Is Done.

If it be true as Carlyle said, AL
that school can do for usis to teach
US to read;" then fortunate are those
who have been taught. Truly those
who have formed habit for reading
while young have access to the
best, the purest and most eloquent
thoughts.
There need be nothing hidden
from the reader of today. He is in
touch with information and may be-
come more efficient at his task; he
may Danish the gloomy moments
by getting in touch with the cheer
full and the hopeful. He may live
in the past and the future as we'll as
the present.
How important it is for parents
to arrange for and take part in the
reading hour at home. By doing
this, they are giving their children
a chance for an education that pow
erty and misfortune cannot pre-
vent.
The importance of reading was
expressed by Fenelon who said.
IF the crowns of all the kings were
laid down at my feet in exchange
for my love for reading / would

Tribute to Miss Cottie Young.
blood Read Before Mis-
sionary Society.
slcnary Society.

A shadow of deep sorrow has
been cast over the Woman's Mis-
sion Study by the death of one of
it's members, Miss Cottie Young
blood, who entered into rest Janu-
airy, l3 1917, at the age of II years.
In girlEood she gave her heart to
God, and lived consistent, Chris
tian life until the time of her death.
She was faithful to her church and
to her Master, and as teacher in the
Sunday School during the greater
part of her useful career she left an
imperishable monument in her in
huence on the hearts of her pupils.
While she is dead, she yet lives in
the lives OF those who caught from
her teaching that inspiration for
higher and nobler things which it
was her gift to impart to those with
whom she came in contact. Her
words will be perpetuated in those
who come after her and her labor is
not in vain in the Lord.
Her hearts desire was to save
the young people whom she under
stood and for whom she had the
deepest sympathy. She believed in
the possibilities of youth, and earn
estly desired for her girls and boys
the best gifts. Throwing around
them the mantle of charity, she
probed into their natures and found
the good which she nursed and
warmed with her love into the light
of growth and fruition.
She prayed for their faults and
praised their virtues. In many an
unwakened soul, she aroused a
consciousness of latent powers and
created lofty ambition. Possessing
rare intellect, she had many gifts,
but in one, she excelled, the gift of
love. Now abideth faith, hope,
love; but the greatest of these is
love-"
She found her greatest comfort
in prayer. She prayed without ceas-
ing. Always of frail body, she
was often kept at home on account
of sickness, especially in her old
age. She said, although l am laid
on the shelf and can render no 9th
er service, I can pray continually
for those engaged in active work
in the Masters vineyard" More
things are wrought by prayer than
this world dreams Off
We miss our. beloved friend. and
mourn for her, but we rejoice when
we think of her as crowned among
those, VINO, having turned many to
righteousness, shall shine as the
brightness Of the armament, and as
the stars, forever and ever.
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, that we strive to have
that love that filled her soul, that
prayerfll spirit that was hers and
faithfulness that persevered to the
end.
That we extend to her family our
sympathy, sharing with them their
sorrow in their great loss.
That these resolutions be record
ed in our minutes and that a copy
be sent to the bereaved family.

of death, into the mouth OF Hell.
Then let me call out of the valley
of the shadow of drink, their wild
owhood and wifehood and child
hood, and let their tears rain down
upon their purple faces. Do you
think that would stop the curse of
the liquor traffic? No, no, in these
days when the question of whiskey,
or no whiskey, is raised, in almost
every community we hear good
deal about personal liberty.
These are fine, large, mouth-hll-
ing words, and they certainly do
sound first rate, but when you get
right down and analyze them, in the
light of good old horse sense, they
mean about this: Personal liberty
is the man, who, if he has the incli-
nation and the price, can stand up
to jug or bottle, and fill his hide
SO full of red liquor that he is trans.
formed for the time, into an irres-
ponsible dangerous, evil smelling
brute. But personal liberty is not
for the patient, long-suffering wife,
who has to endure with that forti-
tude, she may, his blows and curses.
Nor is it for his children, who, If
they escape the insane rage, are yet
robbed of every known joy and
privilege of childhood, and too Of
ten grow up neglected, uncared for
and vicious.
Personal liberty Is not for the So
Der, industrious citizen, who from
proceeds of homes: and orderly liv-
ing, has to pay, willingly or not, the
tax bills whlchpile up as the direct
result of drunkenness, the records
of which are in every police court
and poor house in the land.
tell you men, the. American
home is the dearest heritage of the
people. Whatever takes away the
comforts of the home, whatever de-
grades the man or woman, whatever
invades the sanctity of the home, is
the deadliest foe to the home, to
church, to state, to school.
If all the combined forces of He'll
should assemble in conclave, and
with them all the men on earth that
hate God, purity and virtue, if all
these scum of the earth could min
gle with the denizens of He'll to try
to think of the deadliest institution
to home, church and state, / tell
you, sir, this combined hellish intel
ligence could not conceive of, or
bring forth an institution that could
touch the hem of the garment of the
whiskey traffic in South Carolina at
this time, to damn the home and
manhood and womanhood of this,
our own beloved State. And yet,
some of you keep on voting for the
devilish thing to stay, and 80 on
Gith it's deadly worAaf havoc and
ruin. ~ -
1t is the whiskey traffic that cocks
the fighting mans pistol, that puts
the rope into the hands of the mob.
1t is the anarchist of the world, and
it's dirty, red flag is dyed with the
blood of women and children. it

Lincoln. 1t nerved the arm of the

lst plot as ainst the government and
