is an important one. And certainly
the name chosen could not be more
appropriate. 1t is name that will
serve to bind the people Of Abbeville
and Abbeville County to the institu-
ton as nothing else could do.
The following is taken from the
Medical Journal:
"We believe Abbeville County to
be the first in the State to erect a
Memorial Hospital to her sons who
gave their lives to the cause of liber-
ty in the world war. The Journal
has long advocated County Hospitals
in every County in South Carolina
where at all practicable and many
Counties now have such Hospitals or
are contemplating building them. We
have been so much interested in the
matter that we wired DR.. G. A.
Neuffer of Abbeville, one of the most
active members of our State Associa-
tion and only recently our Presi-
dent, to give US brief report on the
proposition in order that we might
give it to our readers Immediately
for their information and encourage
ment along these lines. The report
is as follows:
Abbeville County Memorial Hospital.
The idea of a memorial to the men
of Abbeville County who participat-
ed in the world war has been in the
mind of the people of Abbeville
County ever since the armistice was
signed.
There have been various suggest
ions as to what would be the most
appropriate memorial. It was sug-
gested that a monument be erected
on the Public Square; but monu-
ments are so numerous now it was
felt that this would not be sufficient
evidence of our appreciation Of the
the services rendered by our boys.
In considering the matter DR.. j. C.
Hill, conceived the idea Of a memor-

ial hospital, this being memorial,
as we'll as supplying much needed
institution, which will be of great
service to the people of the county
as well as a constant reminder Of our
soldier boys.
There is, in this city, a three story
brick building, which has been used
as a college; this property was on
the market for sale. DR.. J. C. Hill
and Mr.. S. H. Rosenberg, secured
an option on the building for the
purpose of establishing a hospital.
They then interested the following
gentlemen: Drs. C. C. Gambrell, J.
R. Power, G. A. Neuffer, J. E. Press
ly, Mr.. D. H. Hill and Mr.. C. H. Nc
Murray, these eight men guarantee
ing the purchase price of the proper
ty.
1t was decided to form a stock
company, with capital of $4,000,
and after a short canvass this amount
has been secured. The property has
now been bought, commission Sc
cured and in the next few days the
company will be finally organized.
Plans for remodeling the building
and converting it into a modern and
up-to-date hospital are now under
way and it is intended to have it in
running order in a very short time"

lence and fraud in 1876 and, when
he became governor, he exerted him.
self to put down all forms of lawless-
ness. In this course he was bravely
followed by most of his successors to
this day. We do not recall more than
two or three governors since 1876
who have apologized for or excused
Iynching on any account. The num-
Der of informed and thinking people
of South Carolina that advocates re-
sort to unlawful methods to punish
crime is negligible.
The victory in 1876 was won be-
cause the white people were united;
because they were as one man. That
is why and how the white people
came into possession of the courts,
the legislatures and the jury system.
If one-fourth or one-tenth Of the re-
spectacle white men Of the State had
voted for Chamberlain in 1875,
Hampton would not have been elect
ed.
Now there is a movement afoot to
put down lynching and injustice to
negroes in the South by extending
the jurisdiction of the federal courts
and laws at the expense of the State
courts and laws. When legislation
of this character shall be proposed in
the Congress, what shall The State
be expected to say against it? If,
anywhere in South Carolina, negro
has been killed in revenge for an Of
fense laid at his door and of which
he has been acquittai by a jury Of
white men, presided over by white
judge who was elected by white
legislature, which, in turn, was chos-
en- by white voters, what is to be
said in the face Of such facts? Mark,
the important fact is, not that the ne
gro was killed, but that the killing

ment conceded by the people Of the
United States living under a consti-
tuition that guarantees security OF
life and property to the citizen.
More than half a century the
States of the South have been pro-
tected against federal encroachment
not by rufians, not by lynchers, but
by Southern men who have no more
sympathy for lawless procedure
than have the best men of other sec.
tions. When the last "Force Bill''
was pressed in the Congress, under
the direction of Henry Cabot Lodge,
the spokesman of the South who
could command the sympathetic help
of just Northern men frustrated its
passage. Had the South been repre-.

the suggestion that Abbeville is the
first city to establish Memorial

hospital for this city and county the

FRIDAY, JUNE 13, 1919!
THE SENATE AND PEACE.

The latest news dispatches say
that probably the Peace Treaty will
be signed and finally disposed OF by
August /. Along in the winter we
hoped that the matter would be his
tory by June /. 1t takes lot Of
patience for the people of this coun-

growing out of the World War to be
settled. And patience is a virtue
which few of US possess.
Especially IS that quality wanting
in the United States. Senate, quon-

bered Congress. We expect the
House of Representatives OCCASION
ally to act like bunch Of "prep"
school boys at play, but we hardly
expected to see the United States
Senate in tantrums, lying down in the
middle of the floor, as it were, and
kicking up it's once dignifed heels
because it's said that President Will
son has not sufficiently taken the
body into his confidence on the de-
tails of the Peace Treaty and the
League of Nations.
The action of the Senate from the
very beginning of the conferences at
Versailles is sufficient argument to
Justify the President in his action.
No one has insulted the dignity of
the Senate. It has no dignity, as is
evidenced by the disgraceful con-
duct of Lodge. Reed, Borah, Knox,
and others of the same ilk. The peo-
pie are beginning to doubt whether
the Senate is a body where intelli-
gent consideration can be given to
any important subject. That body
certainly has given the public no

HOW
RHEUMATISM
BEGINS

The excruciating agonies of rheuma-
tism are usually the result of failure of
the kidneys to expel poisons from the
system. If the irritation of these uric
acid crystals is allowed to continue, in
durable bladder or kidney disease may
result. Attend to it at once. Don't
resort to temporary relief. The sick
kidneys must be restored to health by
the use of some sterling remedy which
will prevent a return of the disease.

DON'T WHIP!
Stop Lashing Your Bowels
with Harsh Cathartics but
take "Cascarets."

Everyone must occasionally give the
bowels some regular help or else suf-
fer from constipation, bilious attacks,
stomach disorders, and sick headache.
But do not whip the bowels into &C.
tivity with harsh cathartics.
What the liver and bowels need is a
gentle and natural tonic, one that can
constantly be used without harm. The
gentlest liver and bowel tonic is "Cas-
carets." They put the liver to work
and cleanse the colon and bowels of
all waste, toxins and poisons without
griping-they never sicken or incon-

times less expensive. Danger from
rats and other vermin is less in the
case of brine-cured pork. Both meth
DDS of curing are very successful If
care is taken to see that each opera
ton Is executed correctly. Following
is the method of dry-curing: For each
100 pounds of meat use pounds Of
salt, 27a pounds of sugar, 2 ounces Of
saltpeter, ounces each of red and
black pepper. Mix all ingredients
thoroughly, then rub all of the guam
| tity of this mixture over the meat and
pack it away in a box or on table
until cured Allow one day and half
cure for each pound the pieces of meat
average.
Time and Material for Smoking.
Green hickory or maple wood is the
oest fuel for smoking. Hardwood is
preferable to softwood. Resinous
woods should never be used, as they
give an Objectionable flavor to the
meat. Corncobs may be used, but
they deposit carbon on the meat, CIV
ing it dirty appearance.
Meat should be removed from the
brine when It is cured and not al
lowed to remain in the brine overtime.
When the meat is removed from the
brine it should be soaked for about
half an hour in water. If meat has
remained in the brine longer than
the allotted time, soak each piece half
or mir fac fnp
each day overtime The meat should
| then be washed in lukewarm water,
strung and hung in the smokehouse.
Do not hang the meat so that the
pieces touch. The space between the
meat is necessary to insure good cir
culation of smoke around the meat.
Allow the meat to hang in the
smokehouse for "a hours before begin
ming to smoke. A slow fire should be
started, so that the meat will warm
up gradually. Do not get the house
too hot. The fire can be kept going
continuously until the smoking is
complete, holding the temperature as
evenly as possible at or near 100 de-
grees Fahrenheit. Thirty-six to forty
eight hours is the time required to
smoke lot of meat, but if the meat
is intended to be kept for some time,
slower and longer smoking is desira-
BILE. During warm weather it is bet
ter to start the fire every other day
rather than heat up the meat too
much In the winter, however, if the
fire is not kept going the meat may
cool and the smoke will not penetrate
properly. AS soon as the meat Is
thoroughly smoked, open the doors
and ventilator, so that the meat can
cool. When the meat is smoked it
can hang in the smokehouse. but for
absolute safe-keeping it should be
wrapped or packed away.
Dry-cured meat is better after six
months, and when kept under favor
able conditions may be good for
two or three years, as the strip or SUI
gar holds the moisture.
Brine or sweet pickle-cured pork Is
too dry to be enjoyed after three or
four months of age, and becomes very
hard if held for year. If the small
pieces were cured with the SWEEP
pickle cure to be used up first, the
heavier or larger pieces should be
cured with the dry cure and it would
be ready for use about the time the
supply Of sweet pickle-cured meat
would be exhausted. This would in
sure meat of the best quality at all
seasons of the year.

There is longing for home deep

vidual does not realize that he has this
longing. But 1t is there and is brought

be the desire for garden; for a
breathing space all his own, or it may
be the realization that the children
need place to play.

lieve that renting home is cheaper
than buying one. If this were so there
would he no investors in rentable prop
erty. Every renter can rest assured
that when he pays rent he is not only
paying for the house he lives in, but
q profit besides. Just now, with few

gets all the profit he can. 1t is ecOno-
my to be your own landlord.
The need for homes and the desire of
the government to promote building TO
keep the commercial and Industrial
life Of the country prosperous has
caused many, who have not heretofore
considered it, to build their homes this
year. The homes that will be built
will be of many types Of architecture.
Some want and require large houses;
others will build small houses.
The exterior view shows what fine
little home can be built from this de-
sign. The novel roof and porch treat
ment make its exterior pleasing to the
eye and one that will give the owner
a strong sense of satisfaction. The
five rooms are arranged for convent
epce and comfort and are planned to
give the owner modern, livable home.
The dimensions are 80 by 40 feet,
just right for lot of so feet or more.
The materials used are wood, with
single siding for both house and
porch, although faced brick would be
exceptionally suitable for the porch, or
the whole structure.
From the floor plan that accompanies
the perspective, 1t will be seen that the
porch extends two-thirds of the way
