The Meanest M

The Meanest Man.-There are lot
of candidates for the title: THE
Worlds MCanest Man" and tho num-
her is constantly incrCasin, Tn" ad-
yrr1ising manager of II Dublin, Ga,
paper thought he had surrey found
him the other day when man inserted
q want ad. in the paper notifying the
public that he would not be response
BILE for his wifc's funeral expenses. He
paid a dollar for the ad. and said that
was better than paying $500 to the un
dertaker.
That was pretty mean. And we have
always thought a man was Il promis-
ing candidate for "1'hc Mcancst Man
who would take little kittens or pup
pics out and leave them on the side OF
the road to be killed. TO starve or die.
Here is a story from the Camden
Chronicle which we commend to the
judges:
-Four small chi dren ranging in ages
from two to nine years were found on
the roadside near Adams pond Satur-
day and were picked up and brought
to Camden where hey were temporari-
~ cared for by the local branch of the
American Red Cross. The children
were said to be SO ragged and unkempt
that they were carried to the pest
house in the lower part of the city to
be washed and given clean clothing.
Later the city and county officials and
Miss O'Dell. the public health nurse
had the children carried to Columbia
and placed in a rescue home.
when questioned the oldest of the
children. a girl of nine years, stated
that their stcp-father, Abe Ralcy who
resides in the eastern section of the
county about fifteen miles from Cam
den had driven the mother away from
home and had bird an auto to bring
them To the point where they wcr"
found and made them get out ana
went away and left them.
"a warrant was Immediately issued
for the arrest of the man on the charge
Of dcyertion. and he surrendered to
Sheriff Welsh Wednesday morning and
is now in Jail When found the child
rcn were said to he in a ptiable con-
dition and were nearly starved and
one Of them bore marks where she had
been severely whipped"

known, Dr. Billy MckeoWn. He was
above the average man in intelligence.
His knowledge of medicine consisted
in the botanical practice. He was also
surveyor and a millwright. AS
surveyor he was considered an au-
thority. He never made a survey OF
land in a haphaZard way. Most or ms
calculations were made by Latitude
and Departure and if the balance was
not close he would resm mvey until he
did get an accurate balance. lie
possessed great deal of botanical
knowledge and could tell to which
species most of the flowers and herbs
in his section belonged. Also their
medicinal properties. He did most or
the bleeding in his section. This was
very common in his day. When
person had fever, pneumonia and such
diseases. about che first thing that was
done was TO bleed him. The mode was
to tie cord tightly around the arm
above the elbow so as. to stop the foW
of the venous blood, let the patient
hold that arm outstre tchcd with a
staff to support 1t. then puncture the
large vein and the blood would flow in

ters took me to DR.. Billy Mckeown.
When | got there the toothache was
better but / had been sent to have 1t
pulled and the job had to be done. DR..
McKeown pulled off his coat, rolled up
his sleeves. washed his hands, got out
his instrument and made ready for
business. The instrument was long
piece Of iron with an adjustable hook
fixed in the side near its end. After

hook was fastened | was placed in

my back. DR.. McKeown placed the
hook over the tooth and his hand upon
my head and then we'll

than my good friend, Sam Tom Nc
Keown, die on a like occasion, for in
going through the same operation for
him-after adjusting the hook and
having 20 one to hold his hands he
laid Sam Tom on his back on the floor
and got astiide Of him to keep him
still until the operation was over.
There was one virtue this old cant

a tooth off. 1t always brought out the
tooth and not infrequently piece Of

garian port on the Danube, a short
trip between low banks brings one to
Belgrade, the capital of the new King
dom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes
where the steamer rounds the base of
the ancient fortress which dates back
to the time Of the Celts, the Romans
and the Franks, and comes to its dock
little way up the Save, which here
enters the Danube from the south.
About four hours sail below Bel
grade the wide plains give way to hiIly
country where the Transylvania Alps
curve down toward the tumble OF
mountains which extends to Monte
negro and Greece. 1t is in this region
that the main distractions of the river
occur. But the most famous obstruc-
tions an dthe finest scenery come at
the Kazan Dufle and the Iron Gates,
where the river has collected grue-
some toll.
AT Rustchuk, the railway traveller
from Rumania ferries across q broad
and sluggish stream to continue his
journey to Sofia and Constantinople;
and here the banks of the Danube are
lined with huge barges, many of which
are still idle. Below Silistna, the river
curves to the north and passes
through Rumanian territory through
out the rest of its length. At Cerna
Voda, it is crossed by one of the long
est railway bridges in the world, the
last of the many bridges which cross
the stream, Some of which are now
destroyed as a result of the war and
post -armistice fighting.
"Braila, 125 miles from the three
main mouths of the Danube, is port
for the grain and produce of rich
agricultural region. In pre-war days
it's wharves teemed with life and its
huge grain elevators bulged with the
rich products Of Wallachina and Dob
rudja, which has seen great develop
ment since the Russians gave II to Ru-
mania instead OF the more valuable
and fertile tracts of Bessarabia. From
Galetz to the sea the Danube has al
ready been under the control Of an
International Commission whose duty
has been to tame the river and the
many nationalities to whom the river
is highway or barrier according to the
tides OF human passion and national
life"

EdaefieId Boy Preaeher.-scenes in a

Edgefield Boy Preacher.-Scenes in a
degree akin to those Of Fifteenth CEN
tGry Florence have been lately enact
ed in Edgefield for in the person OF
William Strom, Jr., the 17-year-
son of a prominent Edgefield planter,
the same spirit that moved the Floren-;
tine monk Savonarola, to demand in
his thoroughly original way the aband-
onment by worldly churchman Of his
da yof their vanities and follies. Strom-
a. high school lad, was fired to a high
pitch of religious enthusiasm by Evan
gelist Bridges, Methodist revivalist
who conducted a tent meeting in Edge
field late in las. May. The boy has de-
clared himself candidate for the Bap-
tist ministry, but is not content in the
conventional fashion OF ministerial
students, TO study his theology, Greek
and Hebrew and say his prayers and
make his eXhortations in the fashion
of ordinary divines. He uses the more
direct and less approved method of
soliciting persons in stores and on the
streets to join the band of the faithful.
Young people are persistently sought
after in their homes OF wherever they
may be found; loafers are asked to
abandon their evil ways; card players
are told with little ceremony TO seek
other diversions. Under his leadership
the Bridges prayer meeting for boys
meets every Monday evening in the
Baptist church. The attendance is
large and the prayers are fervent.
Coupled with the young enthusiasts
activities is a life of austere denials
of light pleasures.
OF course, as with Savonaro!a, such
unique actions cause laughs here and
frowns there. Yet the people of sober
thought applaud the zeal, for right
eOusness,r for old Edgefields like the
rest of the state and nation, has been
visited by wave of moral delinquen-
c., and, it is thought, needs a revival
of before the-war principles of con-
duct.

made by the clerks to President

The local office of the internal rev.
enue department. at present in
charge of Deputy Collector p. Il.
Harrison, will be closed tomorrow
night, Juno 30th. and the business
forwarded to the parent office at
Parkersburg. MIR. Harrison will
move his office, hereafter for his per-
sonal professional work as Il COM
missioner in chancery, 10 the Walk
err Building on South Queen street
over the l.. l.. Bentz store. and
open it on Friday.
The discontinuance of the office
here is assumed to he due primarily
to tho removal of tho Hannisville
Distilling Company warehouse hold
ings to Mt Vernon and the conse-
Quent elimination of IT IA source
of internal revenue through this of
flee The office has at the same
time, in addition to the stamps for
whisKey, sold documentary and pro-
prietary stamps, and the total vol
ume of business done through all
these sources during the eight years
that Mr. Harrison has been in charge
of the office has amounted to 81 .824,-
g0S.7S. In addition thousands of dol
lars has been collected in the form
of income taxes but the returns for
these taxes are made out to the de-
partment head. il was said, and no
listing of them is done in the local
office.
MIR. Harrison said today he would
be glad to continue his assistance
to local business men, without
charge in making out their returns
on Gales of ice cream, 1ewelry, ole
margarine and so forth, in the same
was that he has assisted them in

shaw and p r. Harrison, both OF
this city. The office has been at
times the objective in political strug-
giles. 1t has always been source
OF considerable revenue to the gov
eminent, primarily because Of the
| income from the whiskey tax.
| The bulk of the income reported
during the past eight years by Dep
uty Harrison has been for whiskey
excises, according to a report made
public today. the income reaching
approximately the half-milIion dol
lar mark per year in 1918 when the
rate on whiskey for beverage pur-
poses was S640 per gallon Since
the Volstead Act became effective,
it was explained, the only removal
of whiskey has been for medicinal
purposes on which the tax has been
1920 per gallon. which has cut down
the revenue materially.
The schedule of income over the
eight year period. as shown in the
report, is as follows:
