A CHALLENGE TO WOMEN.
Many American women must
choose between the individual
careers on the one hand and the
family and race survival on the
other. Motherhood is the greatest
career ever known for women in an
cient or modern times, and father
hood alone can bring men to their
highest development of soul.
The greatest job on the planet to-
day is that of mothering. To do 1t
well requires the highest qualities
of habit, brain and heart. All of the
grace and traditions Of the ages and
all Of the science and psychology of
the times here find their noblest op.
portunity and constant demand.
If GU rwonien fail in their willing
ness or preparation for motherhood
the race must go down, and our
power, property and institutions
will pass to other races that have
sounder and more normal views on
this vital matter.
The greatest possible bulwark
against anarchy, revolution and ex-
tremism Is marriage and successful

REMEDIES SUGGESTED.
Here are some suggestions for en-

there should be pressure for homes,

some instances the entire gall blad-
der will be filled with one huge gall
stone, which it fits like a mould and
which may reach the size Of hens
egg. In other cases the bladder will
be filled with hundreds Of little
seed" stones or calculi, but the
commonest state Of affairs is from
ten to thirty calculi ranging in size
from a pea to a marble.
The calculi may vary a good deal
in shape as we'll as in number and
size. depending entirely upon the
amount Of pressure and friction. II
the stones are few and small they
will be rounded or oval, like peb-
bles or gravel, but IL they are either
large enough or numerous enough
to press upon one another, then they
will be moulded or rubbed into curl

Surprising that gall-stones have
been formed In the bladder, what
then? Very often nothing happens
at all. From large numbers Of
bodies which have been carefully

had never caused them the slight

any way during life. Probably
about one in ten OF us has gall
stones without knowing 1t.
Roughly speaking, gall-stones
seem to cause very little trouble of
any sort as long as they are content
to stay in the gall.bladder. 1t is
only when they try to get out and
begin TO travel that trouble begins.

CAUSES OF CONDITION.
Our women seek careers or Jobs
rather than families and offspring.
1t is individualism against family
ism and race survival.
Misdirected education ignores the
family and its place in life and turns
the ideals and thoughts of our
youngsters toward petty careers and
toward alley occupations. rather
than toward the greateast goal and

Maeterlinck and Amy Lowell and
a few others that were New Ones

When they had an evening at
Home up in the Flat, it was usually
a two-ring Affair. She would have

eating Peppermint Waters, while

be out in the Dining Room trying
to make their House Rent and
tossing off that which made Scot

take half the Night to get the

he would divide up with her and
she would take the Money and buy

Complimenting her guest, Mrs.
Thomas Gaddy, of Lake City, Mrs.
James Burch entertained at an en-
joyable rook party Friday afternoon
at her home on Carlisle street. In
the rooms where the games were
played was a profusion of asters and
zinnias intermingled with pot plants.
Five tables of progressive rook were
arranged and an hour was spent in
this interesting pastime. During the
afternoon home made candy was serv-
ed, and Mesdames H. n. Folk and
LeVerne Thomas sang several selec-
tions of music. The guest of honor
was presented with beautiful hand
made corsage. At the conclusion of
the playing, delicious iced tea and

ANOTHER LIQUOR CASE TRIED.
Fines Imposed in Mayors Court on
Distilling Charge Monday.

Monday morning Mayor Thomas
heard another alleged liquor viola
ton case in the city court. John
Dodd, George Wilson, j. C. Boykin
and Charles Thomas were charged
with implication in the making of
blind tiger whiskey. Dodd was sent
enced to SIS fine or Is days; Boykin
received sentence of SIS or 80 days,
Thomas was discharged, while the
case of Wilson was continued until
next Monday, as he failed to appear
in court.
The case came up as a result of a
raid by Sheriff Ray and Chief Moody.
Thomas and Boykin denied their con-
nection with the affair, while Dodd,
who was up on similar charge only
a few days previous, pleaded guilty
and asked the mercy of the court
He said that a still had been impro-
vised, by agreement between Wilson,
himself and Boykin, by the use of an
ice cream churn and copper pipe
used in the mechanical parts of an
automobile. Some liquor, or beer,
had been made, and Dodd said it had
a fairly good "kick" to it. Thomas's
only connection, it seems, was that
it was his ice cream churn, but it
appeared to have been used without
his consent, hence his discharge.
Boykin, said Dodd, supplied the
peaches, sugar and meal, which Boy
kin denied, saying he had sold them
to Dodd. Wilson was represented
by an attorney. but failed to appear,
some of the court spectators saying
that he had left early Monday morn
ing and did not leave his forwarding
address. Wilson has also answered
a similar case once before, and a case
is pending against him and Dodd in
the circuit court. and bond is held
for their appearance in the higher
court

FAMILY REUNION.
Relatives and Friends Meet at Home
of the Late DIR. w. W. Folk.

On Thursday, July 2Sth, many
friends and loved ones of the Folk
family in Colleton county met at the
home of the late DR.. W. ". Folk in a
glad and happy reunion. This is an
annual affair, gotten up through the
untiring efforts of Miss Olive Folk,
of Columbia, loved daughter of this
old home, and one whose chief aim in
life seems to be to brighten the path
way of others. In this work she is
assisted by Mrs. Rosa Braid, grand
daughter, now occupying the. old
home and keeping up the traditions
of hospitality of the family.
We cannot say that the day was
ideal; for a while the clouds were
dark and lowering, but the bright
and happy faces of the friends from
Barnwell, Bamberg, Hampton and
Colleton counties seemed to say that
they believed that behind the clouds
the sun was still shining"
About 2 o'clock bountiful picnic
dinner was served, and surely hard
times have not yet reached the low
country. A beautiful heart-shaped
cake was placed near the center of
the table where Mrs. Rebecca Owens
and Mrs. Cornelia Breeland were seat
ed, they being the two oldest surViv-
ing members of the family, this being
the birthday of the latter. While
silence fell over the group, Rev. Nc
Coll held a lighted taper in hand and
paid. a touching and beautiful tri-
butte to these young ladies OF. SO and
II respectively.
About $50 persons were present on
this occasion, consisting of children,
grandchildren, nieces, nepheWs'
friends and loved ones, who wished
for many happy returns of the day.
Contests were INDUCED in IN the
afternoon which afforded amusement
and instruction to both old and
young. Appropriate addresses were
made by Eugene Peoples, of Hamp-
ton, and Rev. Etheredge, Of Ehrhadt,
After the closing prayer, Pledger
Johns and Mrs Rosa Braid sang very
sweetly, "There'll be happy reunion
I'D yonder." With thoughts of the
pleasant day just passed and visions
of the brighter one Cup Yonder the
guests departed.

Leaves Embree Mill.

D. A. Gardner, for many years past
manager of the Edisto River Lumber
company, has resigned his position
with the Embree concern to devote
his entire time to the Bamberg Lum-
ber company, of which he has been
president and treasurer since the or
ganization about two years ago.
Mr.. Gardner is one of the best mill
managers in this section, and while
the Embree mill will doubtless miss
his expert management, his friends
are glad to know that he will con-
tinue to reside in this section of the
state. It is probable that he will
conduct his office in Orangeburg,
where the Bamberg Lumber company
owns and operates large mill. The
lumber company operates a lumber
yard in Bamberg, and it is likely that
other branches will be opened in the
near future.

Dear sir:-It is reported to me
/ that F. B. Harmon, agent for North
american Accident Insurance COM
pany, has frauduie~+ly collected pre-
miums for insurance policies in your
county, failing to deliver the policies
and to report the premiums to his
company.
He has been arrested on som
.charges and is now in jail in Lex
ington. I am anxious to learn of all
the cases where people are thus de-
frauded of their money. Of course
the insurance company should be re-
Nuired to refund the amounts as it
lis responsible for it's agent, but this
defrauding has been carried on
among negroes and many of them
may not learn of the arrest of the
man or know what to do.
I beg to suggest to you that you
make some publication in your paper
and advise any person who has been
imposed upon to report his case to
the insurance commissioner. .
Thanking you, I am, very truly yours,

Mcmillan, this entire community has

from which she did not recover con-
sciousness, her soul passing to the
great beyond the following night. She
had not been we'll since suffering a
stroke a little over year ago and
although her death came as shock,
it was not unexpected.
She lived a simple Christian life,
having united with the Baptist church
in early girlhood and devoting her
life to the duties of her church, COM
munity and family. Since i'll health
prevented her from being active in
the affairs of the church and COM
munity for few years, she has been
sadly missed, and in her death the
needy have lost helper and the
friendless a friend
She was SO years of age, the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson
Beard, her father having died many
years ago, and her mother only few
years previous in the ninetieth year
of her age.
Her remains were inferred in the
Colston Branch Baptist cemetery on
Thursday afternoon at four O'Clock
amid a large concourse of relatives
and friends, who met to pay this last
tribute of admiration and respect.
She leaves a husband and the fol-
lowing children to mourn her depart

Thomas Williams, of Norway; Mrs.
Philip Padgett, of Ehrhardt, and
George All, of Columbia, all of whom
have the sympathy of the entire COM
munity in their grief.
