members who are not thieves, it will
not only see that the guilty do not es-
cape the law, but it will see that no
guilty man enjoys the benefits of the
organization.
1t is high time, we think, that this
matter was receiving proper atten-
ton from officials and employees a.
like. There is no more culpable OF
degrading offense than stealing and
it should be and can be stopped with
the proper effort on the part of those
most interested.

First Prosecution by Bureau of Vital
Statistics.

C. w. Miller, chief clerk of the Bu-
reau of Vital Statistics of the State
Board of Health, brought suit against
Dr.. B. X. H. Kreps, of Columbia for
failure to report births attended by
him within the prescribed ten days
as specified by State statutes.
DR.. Kreps was prosecuted on four
counts, to which he pleaded guilty.
Magistrate Coker, before whom the
case was brought, imposed fine of
S25 in each of the four cases.
This was the first prosecution OF
the Bureau. For this reason DR.. Jas.
A. Hayne, State Health Officer, re-
quested that sentence be suspended.
Mr.. Miller emphasizes that prose-
cutions will be brought in all cases
coming to his attention, and upon
conviction, no further suspension of
sentence will be recommended.

A South Carolina Lieutenant

This is the story as we heard it two
years ago: When the National Guard
of South Carolina was called to Camp
Moore, a member of "Troop Az, the
historic Charleston Light Dragons,
went to the office of a leading firm of
lawyers in Charleston to talk over the
matter of enlistment with one of the
clerical staff of the firm. The troop,
then commanded by Captain Wynd-
ham Manning, now major serving in
France, needed recruits. While the
conversation was going on in the Of
flee, a quiet man, rather small and
slender, in appearance student en-
crossed in books, came from his desk
and listened to the conversation and,
after a few moments, said, 81 will be
glad to enlist. He was a partner in
the firm, enjoying, of course, hand
some income from it's practice, an ac-
complished and thoroughly educated
lawyer, holding diplomas from Yale
and Harvard. He was accepted, came
to Styx as an enlisted man and served
on the Mexican border.
Returning to South Carolina he en-
tered a training camp last year, where
he won lieutenancy. Last spring ne
went to France. A few weeks ago
event over the top" and, while fight.
ing gallantly, was severely wounded
by the projectiles of a German m =
chine gun. He has kinspeople in Co.
lumbia and Abbeville as well as in
Charleston. His name is Visanska.
He is of the stuff that has always
made South Carolinians proud of
their State.
That is very finely said. 1t is we'll
deserved. And it could be said about
many others. But the question for
you, Mr.. Reader, is, are you backing
Lieut.. Visanska? Are you backing
Major Cheatham, and Lieut.. Neuffer
and Lieut.. Wilkinson, Lieut.. Sweten-
burg, Lieut.. Longshore, Lieut.. Morse,
Lieut.. Speed, the Lyon boys, Oscar
Stevenson, the Wilkinson boys, Allen
King, w. Joel Smith, Sam Adams,
Robert Cheatham, the Lesley boys,
and host of other boys who have
gone to the front from Abbeville?
These men are doing their duty.
Their duty is to fight your battles.
You are safe at home, but you have
duty. 1t is to support these men
with your words, your efforts, and
your money.
Will you buy Liberty Bonds and
help these men in the only way in
which you can succor them and stand
by your government, or will you be
a-SLACKER?
There is no middle ground. You
are either for this government or
you are against it? We mean-----
YOU.

PLAIN LARCENY.

Nowadays it seems impossible to
receive from a common carrier a
package containing anything to eat,
or anything to wear, unless the pack
age has been opened and examined
by someone. If anything has been
found in the package which suits the
tooth, or the fancy, of the person
making the examination, that thing
is extracted from the package. Last
week one of our sick men about town
was looking for quart of corn
mixture, or maybe it was rye. When
the supposed package came, he was
there to receive it. The bottle came,
but the mucilage was still wet where
it had been re-labeled, and the ice
water which took the place of the
medicine was still very cold, showing
that the theft had been made short
" before it was delivered. ....
1t is plain that this stealing is
being done by some employees of
these common carriers. There are
some common thieves running
freight trains and handling express
packages. That much is plain. 1t
is equally plain that they are not
stealing from necessity, because
there are no laboring men in the
world earning as good wages as
these employees, especially the en-
ployees Of the railroads.
1t is equally evident that the
thieves could be apprehended if the
proper effort was made to do so. The
thefts are too frequent to make it
impossible OF catch the thieves. The
government, now that it is operating
the railroads, should make it its busi-
ess to see that the people response
, BILE for the losses occasioned in this
way are brought to the bar of JUS
tice, and when they are caught no
mercy should be shown to anyone
of them.
But the honest employees of the
railroads and express companies owe
a duty too. There can be little doubt
but that they would be able to de-
tect the guilty parties if they made
an effort. Not very considerable
number of the employees of these
companies are believed to be dis
honest. Only few are believed to
be doing the stealing. But the other
employees of these companies must
know that the acts of the few are
casting suspicion on all of these en-
ployees, and, therefore, it becomes
more to the interest of the honest
employees to expose the thieves than
OF anyone else. Ihey owe 1t to
themselves and their fellow employ
ees.
If it is suggested that it is hard to
report brother of the union, or
brotherhood, the answer would nat
urally be that if one hesitates to
report brother in the union or
brotherhood, it is evidence that the
organization is either a bad thing in
the community, as a shielder of Grim
inals, or it is being operated on wrong
principles. If the union, or brother
hood, or whatever the organization
may be called, wants to justify its
existence, and do its duty to its other
