REPORT OF PUBLIC
HEALTH NURSE

Miss Moore has completed the ex-
animation of pupils in the Ma ming
school, and feels that the children
made an excellent showing, since 80
of the 378 examined were in good con-
dition and needed no correction. Dur
ing the time that she worked in the
school Miss Moore gave eight health
talks, ore of these being before the
Parent-Teacher's Meeting. "rhe
Story Of the Health Fairy" an aller-
ory, was told to the high school stu
dents. Talks were made to each Of
the GRADES below the seventh.
While the number of children hav-
ing defective teeth is rather large
one most of these were among the
children of the lower grades, the
teeth Of the high school children be-
ing in good condition.
Miss Moore was most encouraged by
the fact that the children take live
ly interest in health topics, and bet
ter still that Mr.. Helms is so actively
working to raise the health standard
of the school.
Following is Miss Moores report
in detail.
Number inspected. 37S; number vac
cinated 289; Defective eyes 1O8; De-
fective ears 8; enlarged tonsils rs;
Nasal obstructions %; defective teeth

Willing to Accept, Belief

Paris, Feb. 1.-The fact that the
German delegates to the Brussels con-
ference Of financial and economic cx.
pcrts are remaining in Paris and con
tinuing their consultations is taken in
political quarters here to mean that
Germany is willing to accept the de-
cisions of the Allies regarding rcpara-
tionS as a basis for discussion, not
withstanding the comment which is
coming from Berlin, giving the idea
that the disposition there is to reject
the plan.
1t is pointed out in official circles
that the conference of experts will bo
able to accomplish great deal in pay
ing the way to establishment to eco
nomic relations beneficial both to the
Allies and their former enemies, al
though it is considered that the rcpa-
rations plan for the study Of which
the expert confcrccs were originally
called together has been definitely de
cidcd upon by the Paris conference.

TO POISON
SUMTER BABY FAILS,
BUT NURSE IS HELD

Macon, Ga, Jan. 31.-Charged
with having put washing powder
in the milk of the eleven months
baby of Mrs. S. w. Colerider, Of
Sumter, S. c., who is visiting her
sister, Mrs. Frank j. Hodges, in
Macon, Edna May Shivcrs, a negro
nurse, age fifteen, is being held
by the Macon police. She is said
to have confessed. The baby did
not drink much of the milk, on
account Of the taste, and so suf-
fered no bad results.
Resentment over the baby being
trusted to another nurse when the
family went downtown is said to
have been the admitted cause of
the nurses action. To "get the
other nurse in bad," was the mo-
tive which caused her to go to the
refrigerator, fix the milk, pour the
powders into it, and ran the clock
ahead an hour and half to the
time for the baby to be given milk,
it is claimed by the mother who
declared that she will prosecute
the negrcss to protect society from
any further outrages of the kind"

RESTAURANT
NOW OPEN TO PUBLIC

Manning at last has an up-to-nate
restaurant. Several months ago Drs.
Dickson and Crouch conceived the idea
that our little city was badly in need
of a restaurant where wcll-cooked
meals at reasonable prices could be
secured. Plans were began and the
completion of these were seen when
on Friday night last the LeGrand
Restaurant threw open it's doors to
the public.
CARRIER & Davis Orchestra of Co.
lumbla, who were here playing for
the dance, had been engaged to fur
nish music for the early part of the
evening and the tables were filled by
Manning people who, while dining
were greatly entertained by the en-
trancing music. Up until closing hour
the restaurant was thronged, and
many were the words of appreciation
on the progressiveness of the owners.
The color scheme Of the room is
green and white. At the rear is a
private dining room lattccd over.
each table has dainty little electric
light: Everything is spick and span
and it is the intention of the manage
ment to have one of the most sanitary
restaurants in the State. The food
served will be Of the very best obtain
able and delicious home-cooking will
be the Speciality.
We bespeak for the LcGrand Res
taurant the patronage of this section.

ADDITIONAL LOCAL ITEMS

Miss Corinnc Barficld was the
guest Of friends in Sumter over the
Weekend.
Mrs. Leon Weinberg and Miss
Rosalic Weinberg were visitors to
Sumter Saturday.
Miss Ruth Moore went to Colum
bia Saturday to attend the concert of
the Cincinnati Symphonic orchestra.
We hear considerable criticism about
the non-tailure of the boarding houses
and restaurants to reduce their prices
since the cost of great many things
in the grocery line has been reduced.
This condition should not exist, for
with two other items-high taxes and
high rents-many a towns growth
has been greatly retarded
The dance held Friday night in the
| old Clarendon Drug Store was a big
success, A large crowd of young
folks from all over the county were
in attendance. The music was fur
nished by the celebrated Carver and
DaRis orchestra Of Columbia, and was
without doubt one of the finest or
chestras ever in Manning
We call attention to our delegation
T:uin about log carts running upon the
puDiic highways. If we are going to
spend 100000 to build the roads, and
,h>n !It io.; curtis cut them right up
again, it would be best to discontinue
work now, and save our money We
arc not sure, but we think there is a
law now forbidding log carts to travel
the roads.
We would like to have correspon-
dents at Turbcvillc, New Zion, Sar-
dinia, Gable, Alcoul, Eorcston, Pine
wood and Davis Station. Our sub
scribers are anxious to get the news
from these towns and if any one who
cares to write up these items will get
in touch with us we will be glad to
| come and see them and make further
arrangements.
AS we walk along our streets we
often wonder if there are many towns
in the South the size of Manning that
have the amount Of street paving
| that we now have. Our streets are
certainly beautiful and a pleasure to
ride on. With the paving of Church
and West Boundary streets, we no
doubt would have one of the prettiest
towns in the entire South. But we
believe the next step to be taken
should be the sewerage of the entire
town. We would then have not only
the prettiest town, but one Of the
most sanitary.

MANNING TO HAVE OPEN
HOG MARK ET NEXT FALL

Manning will have an open market
for hogs next fall. The Bradham
Duroc Farm will buy any breed of
hog, providing they are in a market
able condition and pay the cash for
them. This concern will use the
Chicago price list, thus giving the far
mer chance to sell any number of
hogs at any time and get the money.
This is n big thing for Clarendon
County, and we hope our farmers will
take advantage Of the opportunity.

Regards Terms as Fantastic

Berlin, Feb. 1.--Germany regards
the reparation terms decided upon by
the Supreme Allied Council i'm Paris
last week as fantastic and impossible
Of execution, and it is the general
opinion the government cannot agree
to them. The cabinet which received
the text Of the Allied note yesterday.

night, and the note was not released

Reichstag used in discussing the
rcparations conditions. Foreign Min
lister Simons declared the execution of
the terms would "producc chaos, not
only in Germany but throughout Cen
tral Europe, as the bankruptcy of
Germany would also bankrupt part of
Germany's war creditors among whom
is France"
"To BE Deplored"
ut is greatly to be deplorcd," ho
continued, chat the great American
nation was only a bystandcr during
the negotiations concerning rcpara-
tlonS at Paris. The settlement of this
question determines the fate of the
worlds economics and of world cul-
turc."
Herbert Guttmam, Of the Dresdener
Bank said: "Thc rcparation figures
are absurd, and the tax levy on cx-
ports is absolutely beyond understand
ing. The latter would kill Gcrmany's
export business and how does the
Entente expect Germany to pay if she
cannot export her products? 1t is
nconceivablc that America and Eng
land will permit Germany, their best
customer to be ruined by the en-
forccmcnt of such terms"
The German mark showed sharp
decline toward the close Of yestcr-
days session Of the Boursc when the
terms became generally known.
