Sunday. January, ,6th 1919;
after Christmas.
Services: 1Q:30. Sermon

Il.4o, Sunuay OcntsOs SoS9eO1.
7.3O, Evening Prayer ard address.
To each one of you-A Happy ard
Prosperous New Year. This is an cd
greeting yet ever new with each New
Year. To many of Us 1t il hard to
realize that another twelve months. 81
weeks, or 1865 days, have come and gone
since 1918 begun, so rapidly have they
gone by. They were days and months
of success and failure, sunshine and
shadow, joy and sorrow. All of these
phases of daily experiences make up our
human life in the passing Of time. We
begin together another year WITH :ts'
months. weeks and days aii unknown or
what they may bring forth, and becaaes
they are all unknown, we are going to
have an unfaltering trust in Him who
is our Lord and Life, that His infinite
Wisdom may teach US, and His unerr-
ing guidance may lead US that we may
go from strength to strength aud grace
to grace. As opportunity of another
year comes with many blessings and
gifts and much work to be done. may
we resolve within. to do it successfully
and well. We put very little faith in
the fuffi 'lment, of the many AEritten'
New Years resolutions of great many
people who thus resolve ct the begin
ming of the year with this or that reso-
luton of personal conduct-doipg the
right and not doing. or stopping the
wrong-because so few are rightly
kept. A man said In December that he
was going to stop his evil habit at the
first of the year and was going to turn
over a new leaf. Well, he did. The
habit of strong drink killed him ere the
New Year began Another resolved
that when he got straight, he was COM
lug to his church. Well. he came, but
the undert aker brought him, and GER
tainly he was straight. NOW is the
time-TODAY. May we quietly resolve
deep down in our souls that we shall
live just today, fulfilling every task,
every obligation and meeting each re-
sponsibility with to-days' strength,
rather than fretting away that strength
about to morrow's troubles which may
never come.
Praying Gods keeping and blessing
upon you all for the isys and years yet
to come.
Faithfully and devotedly your,

Martin Town Road Trans
formed.

They tell US that the long-neglect-
ed Martin Town road has been trans
formed into a modern highway from
Frank Vests home almost to Aiken
county line. A new bridge has been
constructed across Mill creek and
now anything and everything from a
Ford to an army truck can easily
make forty miles an hour over this
historic road. Hurrah for the good
people of Golfers and others along
the road and Supervisor Broadwater
and Foreman Lewis Covar! We have
been told that the latter has given
his best to that work and deserves a
"Well Donew The first credit and
praise however, is due to the citizen
or citizens of the Golfers community
who yielded to the promptings of a
of commendable public spirit and
took the iniatial steps. After they
started others fell in and the work
has been accomplished. Property
along this road is worth a good many
dollars mode today than it was go
days ago when the road was practi-
cally impossible.

Miss Grace Brumbaugh, Pub.
lie Health Nurse for Edge
feld County, Announc-
es Plans for Work.

I introducing myself and work to
the citizens of Edgefeld County, 1
wish to state that ! am in the en-
ploy of the South Carolina State
Board of Health, the Bureau of
Child Hygiene. As l am not the pro-
moter of this work, but a recent re-
cruit, l feel as though l can do no bet
ter than quote from the literature
published by said Board, knowing
that that cannot be improved upon
in stating the need for the Public
Health Nurse. In times gone by, and
even now in isolated districts, it has
been the idea that Common Chill
dren's Diseases" were a necessary
evil-obliged to be gone through
with, and the sooner the better.
"In cases of serious epidemics it
has always been recognized that pa
rents have the right to insist that
schools shall be safe places for them
to send their children. This right has
been recognized by the closing of
tie public schools during an epidemic;
but despite the fact that the public
school should be the most sanitary in
stitution in our midst, it has long
been recognized that it serves as a
centre of exchange for contagious
diseases which pass from pupil to pu-
pill. The rare closing down, and fumi-
cation have constituted the sum to-
tai of preventive measures, with the
single exception of the insisted on
requirement of vaccination"
Again, except in extreme cases,
the school has taken little note of
defects of mind and body, as might
vitality effect the chances OF success
and happiness of the child, unless
such defects were particularly alarm
ing or repulsive.
With. the coming of the Public
Health and School Nurse, the slight
defects common to childhood, are not
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1919-10-15

encouraged to grow into "the old
family cough" and Grandpa Smiths
deafness;" but adinoids and tonsils
have been discovered and Johnnie
goes home with note to say that in
order that he may not fall behind in
his studies, he is recommended to his
family physician.
The little tag which we tie on his
shirt button, advises the mother re-
garding his weight. Most children are
from five to ten pounds under
weight. Perhaps Mr. Hoover is to
blame. Cereals with milk or cream,
and cocoa or chocolate for breakfast
will help keep the child in condition
better than heavy foods scarcely
touched.
After the school children have all
been examined, it is the work of the
nurse to follow each defective and
sick child to it's home and advise the
mother how to care for him there.
Also an office or room will be CEN
trally located, where at stated times,
of which the nurse will inform the
public later on, mothers can bring
their babies for inspection and ad
vice as to feelings, hygiene, etc.
AS all this takes time, trust the
public will be patient as to results,
as the county is large and the popu-
lation scattered.
GRACE BRUMBAUGH,
Nurse.

UNCLE. "IV" WRITES.
Gives Interesting Account of
His Work for the Georgia
Schools. Cotton Yield
Short.
Dear Old Advertiser:


After many moons l will try to
give an account of myself since NOV
ing to Georgia in December, 1913.
For the last four months have
been under treatment of physician,
but at no time have / been confined
to my bed. What is my trouble!
Well, the doctor says 1 am just worn
out and guess he is about right, for
l feel like an old, worn out vehicle
looks. Still try at times to keep
cheerful, but sometimes l just can't
feel that way, so just stay at home
till l feel like I can bring a smile to
somebody's face.
l send you a clipping from the
following Columbia News which ex-
plains itself:
"Mr. I've Morgan, familiarly
known as Uncle Ivc,' favored our
office this morning, and was as jo-
vial as ever, being enthusiastic over
the Westview school in which COM
munity he lives. He states that inn
portant rural institutions of learn
ing will have two teachers this term
with the prospect of a seven-months
session, and Bro. Morgan expects
things in an educational way to have
a good deal of get-up and get about
it."
Now for my report of myself since
l came to Georgia.
First, when we got to our desti-
nation the first thing I wanted to
know was there any schools for my
boys and girls and to my surprise,
the nearest was three miles and the
next three and a half. / found be-
tween thirty and forty children of
school age that had only two months

nifty as we could to build a school
house, appointed a committee to see
the owner of the land, Che only own
ed forty three thousand acres) and
what was my surprise when we (for
1 was one of the committee) went to
see him and he said there was no
school needed in that section and we
were denied. One of the committee
then asked him what he would take
for an acre and he replied that he
would not take a thousand dollars
for it (his renters children made up
over half of those neglected boys
and girls). He then began to use
rough language saying that these
people were stealing from him day
and night and he could not help him
self, and added that they were bury
their damned dead on his lands too.
Now l may have acted wrong and
hasty, but just rose from my chair
and said to him this. Don't blame
any one but this old Carolina man
for this school business, that I had
a heart that beat always in the in
terest of the girls and boys especially
those that were being neglected"
Yes, got mad, sorry to say, and I
turned away from him and walked
out of his place o. business. AS 1
walked out the door, two of the COM
mittee beside myself, came out also,
and l said to them, "Let US shake the
dust off our feet right here at the
door. We have failed but if I am
spared to remain in this section a
school intend shall be had" So in
the fall of 1914 we succeeded and
that school is still Ghere and not on

ty Board Of Education wouldn't help
a penny on building the school house,

children did. Is the man still living

house on? l don't know, but / do
