"Slloot to KILL"

While America is Christian ma
ton, nominally and by profession
at least, and too, we believe our ma
tive born citizenship averages higher
than that of any other nation, yet
there is an element among our popu-
lation who are not one whit better
than the Bolshevic element of Russia
This is unmistakably evidenced by
the many bold and daring crimes
which are committed, apparently with
increasing frequency.
For some time the United States
mails have been robbed in different
parts of the country of enormous
sums. Not only are mail cars enter
ed but mail trucks are held up and
robbed in the principal thoroughfares
of some of the large cities, while
transporting mail pouches to and fro
postofices. The aggregate losses have
been so heavy and the outrages have
increased to such an extent that the
Postmaster General has stationed ma
rines on numerous mail cars and on
mail trucks in fifteen Of the large
cities, Atlanta being among them.
The government means business
and will protect the mail at all costs,
having instructed the marines to
"shoot to kill" 1t is believed that
such preventive measure will at
least drive this daring class of rob-
bers into other fields of pillage. This
new departure on the part of the
government will have wholesome
effect. There has been laxness on
the part of the constituted authority
over the country which has in large
measure been conducive t oa spirit
of lawlessness. Officers of the law
everywhere should "shoot to kill" in
the discharge of duty. First they
should be sure they are right then as.
sert their might. Were such policy
practiced from the humblest justice
of the peace on up to. the highest au,
thority in the land it would have a
deterrent effect upon the criminal
class.

the small town and the isolated COM
munity without proper medical as
sistance.
Further discussing the matter the
Press declares that it is certainly un-
fortunate if the country doctor is dis
appearing, for the doctor in the
country is an institution. He must
know how to do a great many things
and the community is very depend
ent upon him. AS rule he is a man
who has grown up among his pa
tients and he is ever ready to drive a
long distance to save a life or give
attention to those who are i'll and to
practice his skill whether he receives
large or small fee, or no fee at
all. He is the neighborhood benefac-
tor. Those of US who have lived in
the country will recall the kindly face
and the marked patience and genius
of the family doctor. If the country
communities are to lose him they will
lose one of their most interesting
characters and one Of the oest.
"We trust" concludes the Press,
"that in these days of automobiles
and rapid communications between
the small towns and the cities that
there will be worked out some plan
by which the family physician can
continue to serve his patients in the
country and yet have access to the
laboratories and hospitals of the
larger cities" Augusta Chronicle.

Four Orphansges Appeal for
Help.

The four orphanages of the state,
supported by four strong denomina-
tions, are sending for help, and it
is being suggested that offerings be
taken in the churches on Thanksgiv-
ing Day for this purpose, each con-
tributor 5eing asked to give the
equivalent of one days earnings.
There are in the four church or
phanages Of the state 9ss fatherless
childred who must be cared for. They
are divided as follows: 100 in the
Church Home, Episcopal, York, S. c.,
233 in Epworth orphanage, Metho-
dist, Columbia, S. c., $50 in Connie
Baptist, Greenwood, S. c.,
and 315 in Thornwell orphanage,
Presbyterian, Clinton, S. c. These
bright, sweet children must be fed,
clothed, trained and educated. The
support for their maintenance must
be provided entirely by the church
and Individual gifts. All of the insti-
tutions, due to the financial depress-
ion of the past few months, have suf-
fered from lack of fund and their
needs at the present are urgent.
The Methodists in South Carolina
are asked to turn their help to Ep-
worth Orphanage, the Baptists to
Connie Maxwell, the Episcopalians to
the Church Home, while the Presby-
terians will give their aid to the
Thornwell orphanage.

You Can't Afford to Neglect
Your Fruit Trees.

Clemson College, Nov. 14.-In
conjunction with the county agents
throughout the state campaign of
winter pruning, spraying and other
orchard work is being put on in the
various counties by the extension
horticulturists, who are now carry
ing out schedule by which they
will spend from one to three days
with each county agent. All farmers
who are interested in growing fruit
either on a small or a large scale,
should seek information from the
county agent concerning the Cor
chard Week" to be held in each coun-
ty and should arrange to attend some
of the demonstrations that will be
given in the various orchards of the
county during the time designated
as "Orchard Week.,
Even under normal conditions the
Importance of the home orchard in
supplementing the family food sup
ply is too great to need argument,
and under the abnormal conditions
now existing, with the boil weevil a
menace to the South's chief money
crop, good home orchard is ne
cessity for right country living and
at least few trees should be planted
about each home.
Since fall and winter are the best
months for orchard work, farmers
and others who have available land
are urged to begin at once to plant
a home orchard and those who have
already any fruit on the place should
plan to, give better care, in pruning,
spraying, and cultivating such or
chards as already exist.
Attention is called to the shortage
of good trees and vines and conse-
quent high prices, but stress is laid
Ipon the TACT that trees Tor a>one-
fourth-acre home orchard (approxi-
mately 80 trees and vines) is suf-
6ent to supply the average family
with abundant fruit and will cost
probably not more than $1O'to SIS,
which is sum unimportant in COM
parison with the value CT fruit to be
derived from such an orchard.
It has been well said that "Man
never plants a tree for himself
alone" This is particularly true of
fruit trees and all who can possibly
do so should get behind the "Orchard
Week" movement and help put more
homegrown fruit into South Caro-
line homes.

The Country Doctor Becoming
Scarcer and Scarcer.

The country doctor is becoming
scarcer and scarcer. At least that i:
the statement of DR.. George Vim
cient, president of the Rockefeller
Foundation. He declares that there
are fewer of them than ten years ago
and that the outlook is that they will
still be scarcer in the next ten years
The Savannah Press, discussing
DR.. Vincient's statement, says that
that gentleman is correct and holds
that the reason is that the doctors
do not like to live in the country
They object to being isolated from
the communities where there are lab
oratories, and hospitals and research
bureaus and things of that character.
It is very hard for man to be a
specialist along medical lines in the
country and the tendency now is to-
ward specializing in some branch of
surgery or medicine. The doctors are
getting away from general practice
sand the old practitioner of a small
town seems to be disappearing.
There are probably many reasons
for this and Dr.. Vincent says one of
them is that discoveries in the use fo
serums and vaccines, the rapid devel-
opment of bio-chemistry, the ad-
vancement in surgery and the con-
slant multiplication of diagnostic re-
sources and other products of the last
half century, have made it necessary,
he says, for medical education to be
completely revised.
DR.. Vincent declares that one of
the most disquieting results of the
raising of standards in medical train
ing is the reluctance of young doc
tors to settle in rural communities.
This is sometimes attributed wholly
to the hardships of country life and
the small income of the rural doctor.
These influences are doubtless po-
tent, but they alone cannot explain
the situation. A doctor who has had
modern training is unwilling to be
exiled from laboratory and hospital.
He wants to be where he can COM
mand their resources and enjoy the
comradeship of his professional col
league. He wants to keep in contact
with the newer developments in his
own special field. The large town and
city offer him a congenial and stimu-
lating environment, so he is leaving
