health, and the responsibility for this
heritage rests on the present citizen.
In short, he will be the citizenof TO-
morrow and the responsibility for MS
useful citizenship rests upon the clti-
zen of today. Do we dare burden
him with lack of education because
defects of vision or partial deafness
prevent proper study in his youth!
Or shall we place upon his innocent
shoulders the burden of tuberculosis,
heart disease or other systemic at
fections because he has in his youth
diseased tonsils or adenoids? The
most tragic indictment of modern
civilization is a diseased child. He is
the innocent victim of duty unful-
filled.
4. Unit of Child Welfare
This unit is to be conducted during
the school vacation period and is
directed to the welfare of infants and
children of pre-school age. 1t is to
llCluuS Tie 1SdGulSS u uOth SduSU-
ton and demonstration. The edu-
cational work will consist of the lis
tribution of instructive literature,
lectures on this subject, and the for
nation of leagues if possible. The
demonstration work will include
weighing and measuring tests for in
fants and medical inspection for
children of pre-school age.
S. Life Extension Unit
This unit will be modelled closely
after the work done by the large in
surance companies for their policy
holdels and by the LIE Extension
Institute. 1t will be conducted dur
ing the summer season and will con-
sist of medical examination of adult
persons for chronic conditions which
might otherwise escape notice and
shorten the PERSONS exist
ence.
That the program might be well
balanced this unit was included. BY
its inclusion all ages, classes and
colors are reached at sometime dur
ing the campaign. The value of this
unit is manifest, for many cases of
cancer are recognized only after they
have become hopelessly incurable.
Again many cases of tuberculosis are
recognized only after the disease has
reached an incurable stage. The
same may be said of the host of other
diseases and the intent of this work
is to encourage regular physical ex-
animation at stated intervals. A
valuable piece of machinery is in-
spected and repaired whenever nee
essary. But the most valuable of all

Conclusion

1t is the opinion of those directing
this work that a valuable, efficient
beginning has been made. 1t has
been forcibly demonstrated that the
citizenship of the county is at least as
appreciative of effort looking to the
protection of their own health as they
are of effort looking to the protec-
ton of their live stock. A compare
lively small sum of money has been
expended in this effort and has de-
monstrated once again the necessity
for the efficient expenditure of a
larger sum in disease prevention and
health promotion.

PROGRAM
1t is recommended

/. That a nine months program
be undertaken to supplement the
three months work already provided,
so that representation may be had IN
all sections of the county upon the
basis outlined under "Plan of Co
operation No. l." This program
would necessitate an expenditure by
the county of $4,000, and by the
State Board of Health of not less
than $6,2O5.25. Observe that State
Board of Health expense is over two
and one-half times county expense.
2. Or, if the county feels that 1t
is absolutely unable to adopt work as
extensive as this, it is recommended
that cooperation be continued upon
the present basis for the ensuing
quarter, and that the question OF
more extensive rogram be considered
at pthe April term of court. The
adoption of this recommendation
would necessitate the expenditure of
$500 by the county and of approx
mately $4,000 from State Board of
Health funds. The basis of coopera-
ton by the State Board of Health is
found under "Plan of Cooperation

following discussion, arranged under
appropriate headings, is presented.
Disease Incident in Past S Years
Among a population of 1044 two
hundred and six cases of typhoid
fever, darrheal disease, pellagra,
tuberculosis, and malaria have occur
red. One hundred and sixty, or
more than 7796 of these cases, were
typhoid fever or diarrheal disease,
the class of disease directly prevent
able by the measures now being in
troduced into the communities of
Blount county. The typhoid. tax
alone on this unit of population has
been $13,440 for the period, or
$2,688 per year. This would repre-
sent a toll from each man, woman
and child of more than $3.50; and
this toll is exacted by typhoid illness
alone, for typhoid deaths, of which
there were six during the period,
would mean the loss of an additional
$4,000 per year in the productive
value of human life. This estimate
is based upon the same data as is the
estimate of typhoid cost given in the
first section of this report.
Twelve out of total of IS deaths
occurring during this period have
been caused by typhoid fever or its
allied causes of death. This number
is 14%o of the total number of deaths,
and is only one less than the deaths
from both pneumonia and influenza
during the past five years, despite the
fact that fearful epidemic of in
fluenza occurred during the later part
of the period. In fact typhoid fever
alone caused nearly 500 as many
deaths as both pneumonia and in
fluenza. Is it not valuable oppor-
tunity when the chance of limiting
the spread, indeed, of almost wholly
preventing the occurrence of this
class of disease is presented?
Improved Sanitation
During the period of the campaign
-65 days-the sanitary defects re-
sponsible for the spread of typhoid
fever and its associated causes of
death have been corrected at ia
homes, churches and schools. This
represents the sanitation of practical
ly. 5000 of the territory covered. 1t
is confidently expected that at least
500 of the remaining homes will be
sanitated, since over 1-3 of the fund
for this purpose is yet to be expend-

Parasitic Examinations

Very little work has so far been
done in the examination and treat
ment for hookworm disease and other
parasitic diseases. This is due to the
fact that it was first necessary to get
the community work organized and
in operation before effort could be
directed to this unit of work. From
the work done so far, however,
500 infection by parasitic disease
among the children and young adults
is indicated.

fare of the race. The value of this
work cannot be adequately estimated,
for many of these children are re-
ceiving treatment that will have d
bearing on their whole future life.
The cost by the most conservative
estimate, that of the price of an of
flee call on a physician, would have
exceeded the entire county appropria-
ton. To impress the Importance OF
this work, and the fact that these
children are receiving treatment, l
quote from three cards just received:
"Child 100, enlarged tonsils, myopic
error both eyes; child 80, defective
vision; child %, defective vision, both
eyes-most in right eye" In each

TWO KILLED IN
PARLOR BATTLE

|. Allendale, Feb. 23.-Allie Cone, age
twenty, and Orbe Cone, age seven
teen, were instantly killed and John
Brant, age twenty-five, was slightly
wounded in a gun battle in the home
Of f. p. Phillips, prosperous farmer
residing about four miles from here,
about 8 o'clock last night.
John Brant and his brother, Earl
B,ant, age seventeen, are under an
rest charged with the killing. The
Cone boys were first cousins.
All Of the persons involved are pros
porous young white men Of this sec

The shooting took place before two
of Mr.. Phillips daughters upon whom
the yom gmcn were calling, it is
stated.
Details Of the cause of the fight are
conflicting.
1t is reported that Orbic Cone took
exception to a personal remark made
by John Brant. and that the latter be-

COASTAL OIL co. WILL
PAY BACK STOCK MONEY

Charleston, Feb. 23.--It is not un-
likely that the drilling for oil on lands
adjacent to the City of Charleston
as projected b ythe proposed Caro-
lima Coastal Oil Development com
pany will be abandoned and the money
subscribed will be returned 20 the
subscribers, according to one of the
directors of the corporation. The
meeting of Incorporation which was
to have been held last Friday, was
called off and indefinitely postponed
by reason of the fact that the law re-
quired $4,000 Of the $4,000 to be
subscribed, and up to the time of the
meeting only $4,000 had been sub
scribed. The incorporation could not
therefore, be legally concluded and the
mcorporators are considering one or
two propositions before them looking
to the necessary amount being Sc
cured, but in the even Of these plans
not being satisfactorily concluded in
the next few days the money subscrib
cd will be returned by mali to each
OF the subscribers. Checks and re-
celpt forms arc now being prepared
to carry out this purpose if it becomes
necessary so to do.

IMMUNITY TO HOG
CHOLERA LASTING

y series of recent experiments on
duration Of immunity to hog cholera
following simultaneous incubation of
young pigs supports the conclusion
that the protection is lasting. The
Investigations were conducted at
Amcs, Iowa, by specialists Of the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture.
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1920-02-25

Altogether I'll pigs, inoculated
when a week to six weeks old and cx-
posed to hog cholera, at times vary
ING from S months to 8 months and
26 days later, were found without ex-
ception to be immune to that disease.
Three of the pigs, however, died
during the period of exposure from
causes other than hog cholera.
There was no apparent ill-effect
from the simultaneous incubation in
ally of the pigs.
There was no difference in the i'm
munity of pigs from immune and non
immune sows.
Pigs that were approximately one
week old received 10 cubic centimeters
of anti-hog cholera serum and 1-2 c. c.
Of virus. Pigs that were three weeks
o J or more received from IS to 20 c.
c. of serum and from l-2 to 3-4 c. c.
of virus.
Immunity was tested by injecting 5
C. G. of virus into the animals when
they had attained weights exceeding
in many cases, 200 pounds. None of
the hogs contracted cholera. The ex-
periments appear to disprovc asscr-
tions by some observers that stimuli
taneous incubation of young pigs is
not lasting and that immunity disap-
pears at stages of growth variously
placed from weaving time up TO so
on GO pounds in weight.

JUST HOW 1T ....
COMES ABOUT
MIR. If, Delegate at Large, Is Only
One Who Has Not Been
Counted on in Ballot For
Nominee.

by Bruce Barton, Written for The
United Press.l
CHICAGO, June 11--By the time
this appears in the papers, the pa.
tieut convention will have been sub
jected to several hours of nomination
oratory.
Readers will doubtless wish to
know as early in advance as possible
just what the outcome is likely to
be, and l am in the fortunate posi-
ton of being able TO tell them.
Wood will be nominated On the
third ballot.
Lowden will positively be noni-
mated on the fifth ballot.
Coolidge or Sproul viii be nomi-
mated on the sixth, Poindexter on
the ninth and Nicholas Murray Butler
on the twelfth.
II there seems TO be an apparent
conflict in these various statements,
the explanation Is simple. The cam
paign managers have counted every
delegate except one, and he is the
most important.
The Honorable Mister If. delegate
at large-he is the one member of
this great republican convention
whom no campaign manager has
definitely enrolled.
They are paging him now all over
the town; it's his move in the great
big game. The fate Of ten men, each
one of whom hopes for the white
house, waits on that tiny word.
