Walter MeNab Miller Says Missouri
will Assist in Crusade.

The antituberculosis forces of Mis-
souri, will be mobilized for fedora
service. according to DR.. Walter Nc
Nab Miller, secretary of the Missouri
Association for the Relief and Control
of tuberculosis. The plan has just
been received by the state association
for mobilizing the country's resources
for the prevention of tuberculosis
among enlisted soldiers and sailors,
as well as preventing the spread of
the disease among people in the fac
tory and field who have been over
worked or who receive diminished ra-
tions
The plan of the work is that all To-
cal societies leave the matter of relief
to civilian committees of the Ameri-
can Red Cross, which are being or
ganized in connection with chapters.
More than 5000 nurses engaged in
tuberculosis work, either exclusively
or on part time. will be available for
home treatment and for preventive
work among the enlisted
men.

Miss DObbs Tells University Women

"a good field is open to the CONNER

such places as Tiffany's or in some big
pottery works, or in the factory where

workmen will carry out" said Miss
Ella " Dobbs last Thursday at
Academic Hall in her vocational lee
ture Commercial Design and the Ar
tistic Crafts" Heretofore the per-
sons entering into this work have had
only high school training without the
broader college training; so there is
especial advantage to the college
trained" continued Miss Dobbs.
Miss Dobbs said that interior decor
ating is the most popular of the artis-
tic crafts and the one for which there
are the most inquiries. This is be-
cause it is second nature for all wom-
en- to want to make the home beauti-
full. Artistic ability in this work is
necessary, but this is little important
for it requires ninety per cent busi-
ness ability. This is also lucrative

ABUSE OF PUBLIC MEN

Every wayside journal, large OF
small, in America has its critic or
group of critics who delight in hurl-
ing the cynic's ban at men in public
Office. One of the faults of American
democracy, according to impartial for
eign observers, is the lack of respect
among the country's citizens for its
leaders.
On the strength of personal preiu-
dice or biased opinion, swayed by ul-
terror motives, the unity and common
good Of the nation is disregarded and
private interests exalted. What back
woods editor, teacher or preacher, re-
lying upon hearsay and prejudiced re-
ports, has right at the first provo-
cation to sit in judgment and pro-
nounce sentence upon the represen-
tatives of our governing bodies?
what more rights has the editor

Hog Tracks to Wealth.

Of particular significance in the
governments report of the decrease
in the number of hogs of 8.2 per
cent in the United States as COM
pared with the number year ago
is the fact that three Southern
States, Georgia, Mississippi and Vir-
ginia show an increase. In two
former readjustments on account of
the coming of the boil weevil have
doubtless been factors in the en-.
larged production of pork and in
Georgia the establishment of pack
ing houses has been a stimulus.
Next to cotton, hog raising is the
industry best understood on the
Southern farm. Even the ignorant
negro laborer can turn to it with
success and without a great deal of
teaching. To be sure. there should
be instruction in it; inoculation to
prevent cholera should be taught
especially. trained intelligence being
requisite in these days to any and
all kinds of profitable production.
Nevertheless hog raising is of all
things to be emphasized in the South
because our people are best pre-.
pared for it and can 20 to it with
least risk of experiment. The pack
ing houses in Orangeburg and Green
vile should result within the year in
bringing South Carolina into the
small list of States that show an in.
crease. Were it impossible to pro.
duce cotton within our borders we
verify Eelieye that South Carolina
could live comfortably and grow
rich on pork of its own production.

A Dastardly Crime.

Camden. September 14:-Mrs Es-
telle Baker. wife of Andrew Baker,
residing seven miles east of this city,
was found in an unconscious condi-
tion near her home today. A gun
shot wound in the hand and many
blows inflicted on her head with a
blunt instrument caused the inju-
ries. Signs of finger prints upon her
throat indicated that she had been
strangled, the would-be murderer
evidently leaving her for dead. Mrs
Baker was alone at the time gather
ing grapes, and tracks around show
ed that she had staggered for con-
siderable distance.
The shooting is supposed 20 have
occurred about 9 o'clock this morn
ing and she was found four hours
later by her sons. She was brought
to the hospital here and has been in
an unconscious condition since.
Later-Mrs Baker died at 2 a. m.
Saturday, having never regained
consciousness. The funeral took
place Sunday afternoon, Rev John H
Graves officiating. Neither Baker
nor any of his people attended it.
A coroner's jury was impaneled,
which returned verdict to the ef-
feet that the deceased came to her
death at the hands of a party or
parties unknown to the jury. At
the inquest it was shown that the
husband of the murdered woman
had worn torn and stained shirt
the day of the tragedy. The officers
say they have fresh clues and will do
everything to bring the guilty to
justice.

PUMP STATION
GETS some COAL
Railroad Has Been Instruct
ed to Take Care of the
City.

One car of coal arriving in Fairmont
ut 2 o'clock yesterday evening over the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad enabled
workmen at the city pump station to
turn on one Of the three pumps. With
in an hour after the coal arrived here
the city water pump was in motion.
According to Commissioner Smith, the
one pump will handle the water situa.
ton in Fairmont.
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad
promises to furnish another car of coal
today and to provide for any future
needs at the city pumping station. at
the present time the Robinson Coal
company is also loading car of coal
for the city. which will end, at least
temporarily. the first realization of a
coal famine in Fairmont.
The railroad authorities have been
instructed to provide the city pump sta.
ton with all coal necessary, but not
necessarily all that is wanted. In.
structions to this effect means that
Fairmont people must take every pos.
sible precautien to conserve the water
supply.

As a Rule Prices Are .
Notch Higher Than For
Thanksgiving.
TURKEYS ARE Plentiful
Eggs in Some Places Are
Bringing Five Cents
Apiece.

Some people in this town are going
to pay more than others do for their
Christmas dinners and those who get
the bird and the trimmings for rock
bottom prices are going to make con.
siderable outlay In the form of shoe
leather. time and patience. The most
noticeable thing in the markets this
morning is the wide range Of prices
for all the things that usually go into
the holiday feast.
In some places where turkeys are
sold the highest butter, and perhaps
eggs were cheaper today while the
last named articles perhops sold
higher in some places where turkeys
were lower in price.
Turkeys were variously quoted at
from forty to forty-three cents per
pound for the dressed fowl. while the
undressed bird brings from "a to 81
cents per pound. Chickens sold read.
lily today and the price for Christmas
will probably be unchanged at forty
cents dressed, and 80 in the rought.
Butter was varioura1 quoted at
from fifty to sixty-fiye cents per
pound for the country variety, while
creamery was quoted. at sixty and
-fiYe5eents per pound ysss.s Ss..,g5 2
Eggs sold at some places for sixty
five cents, while other merchants
quoted this necessary commodity at
sixty cents per dozen.
Cfanberries bring twenty cents per
quart, celery goes at ten and fifteen
cents bunch while cocoanuts which
formerly sold at ten cents each, are
bringing today fifteen cents.
oysters which are generally con.
sidered a necessary adjunct to the
Christmas feast are selling at SIS
cents for standards and 66 for selects
the same price which has prevailed
here during the early fall and winter
months.
Thanksgiving turkeys ssiSSg1e forty
cents per pound, the prices quoted
for Christmas showing jump Oh from
two to three cents per pound for this
fowl.
Turkeys appear be plentiful as
large cases Of splendid looking birds
have lined, the sidewalks in front Of
variouss yarkets for week past.
Faifmont has been treatened this
week by meat famine. According
to local dealers no meat cars have
reached the local freight yards this
week and so far 1t is not known Just
when any will be unloaded here.
Fairmont meat markets have on
hand a plentiful supply OF meats at
this time and unless the cars should
be delayed longer than is anticipated
it is believed the supply on hand will
tide this city over.
