CITY NURSE FUND

On Thursday morning at 10 o'clock
a committee Of ladies will meet at
the Y. Nj. G. A. to canvass the city,
asking each citizen to sign a pledge
card toward the maintenance of the
city nurse. You may contribute any
amount you see fit and pay as you
prefer in monthly payments or the
an urgent call to you and without
your support the great work which
IS being done in your city by your
city nurse will have to cease.
In the city schools tere are at least
seventy-five undernourished children
who need milk. They can not afford
to pay for 1t. Are you not willing to
Go your part in order that these poor
little ones might be given this milk
along with the more fortunate ones
who are able to pay for theirs? This
is only one phase of the many du-
ties Of the city nurse.
Because you are financially strained
is no excuse for not responding to
this call, for if you are strained,
doesn't it mean that the man in poor
or circumstances is more strained? q?
Now is your chance and you must
not fail to do your part which is V ,ry
small to you but very great to the
less fortunate. Make up Your mind
what you can do and be ready to aign
the pledge card on Thursday morn
ing when it is presented TO YOU.

NO FREE RANGE
FOR GEORGETOWN

Columbia, Jan. 2J.-Hopes Of free
range for cattle and hogs in George
town county went glimmering last
night in the house of representatives,
when the members voted 81 to 2S to
strike out the enacting words Of the
measure, which was intended to eX-
empt Georgetown county from the
operations of the state law The vote
means that the house is opposed to
free range, at least when the delega-
tion from the county is badly divided
on the question.
Hardly had the house laid the
Georgetown measure in its grave
than it retlaced its footsteps made
earlier in the evening session and
killed the bill which would have ex-
empted the townships Of Yemassee
and Bluffton. Beaufort county, from
the operation of the stock law. This
measure was at first ordered to 4
third reading, but when the George
town vote had been recorded, the
Ycmassee and Bluffton measure was
again taken up and it was killed by
a vote of As to 80.
Debate on the Georgetown meas
ure ranged all the way from the
creation down to piney wood cows,
razor back hogs and fiddler crabs,
and served to bring out the fact that
the GEORGETOWN delegation to The
house is divided. Representative Hill.
lard was strongly opposed to the
measure, while Representative West
defended the bill vigorously. Before
debate had closed many members of
the house had discussed the bill.
Representative Hilliard told of the
opposition 10 the bill in many quar-
| ters. quoted letters from n. w. Pyatt,
0. q. Miller, Indiana farmer who is
thinking of buying Georgetown land,
and the Waddell ranch.$ He told OF
the contested elections and Of va
rious other local affairs, and urged
that the bill be killed.
Representative West said his COL
league knew little or nothing OF the
sentiment Of the people Of George
town, that he could not find his way
home IL carried ten miles in the coun-
try and held that except for the
| towns OF Georgetown and Andrews,
| the county was so per cent for free
grass.
Representatives Sherard of Green
wood, Hanahan Of Fairfield. McCutch-
| con of Williamsburg. Winter OF
Berkeley, DeTreville Of Colleton and
| others discussed the measure. When
put to a vote the bill was killed by
a good majority.
When this bill had been killed the
house, on motion Of Representative
| Owe rs. reconsidered The bill which
would have exempted Yemassee and
! 6uffton townships, Beaufort county
from the operation of the fence law,
and killed it also.
| Up countrymen and a considerab BILE
number Of visitors listened closely to
the free range debate, which was one
OF the most extended held on the
floor at this session. The large areas
owned by Northern hunting clubs and
the vast swampy areas were men,

u. S. LED WORLD
Total Launchings in Shipyards
of World in 1920 Amounted
to 5,851,0OO Gross Tons

New York, Jan. 24.-The United
States led the world on the total gross
tons of merchant vessels launched in
1920, according to figures made pub
lie today by Lloyds register Of Ship
ping.
The total launching in shipyards Of
the world amount 10 1851 900 gross
tons, decrease of most 100000
from the 1919 figure but an increase
of more than 100000 over 1918. The
total for the United states was 2,276,-
600 tons, while Great Britain was sec
ond with 2,055,00O tons. Japan has
launched $4,000 tons during the
year, n decrease from $1,000 tons in
1919.
Lloyd's points out that at the be-
ginning of 1920 the United States and
Great Britain had on hand practical
ly the sanre amount of construction
TO be completed and credits Ameri-
can yards with greater speed than
those in Great Britain in that this
country exceeded Englands total by
20 per cent.
The decline in the total world ton
mage launched was attributed to the
decline in the American shipbuilding
program. Americas launching being
100000 tons less than in the pre-
vious year, British production showed
q gain OF more than 100000 tons.
Other countries launched q total of
about 100000 tons during 1920, or
about 10000 tons less than in 1919.
In comparison with pre-war fig
ures the launching in the United
States were nine times as great as
in 1913 and throughout the world
there was gain of about Is per
cent. For the first cime since the be-
ginning OF the war Great Britain last
year exceeded it's 1913 figures, the
gain being about Z per cent
