PUBLIC HEALTH NOTES

: Owing to the great amount Of i'll
ness in the County the nurse devoted
the first half Of this month to nursing
and in addition to the regular eight
hour day, has spent her Sunday after
Moons with sick children in order that
the mother might get out of the sick
room. One OF the patients, who was
unconscious and having convulsons
when the nurse was called in, has been
visited daily, given baths and treat
ment ordered by the doctor and is now
conscious and doing nicely.
Between times Miss Moore gave an
instructive talk at q meeting for
Sanitation and Prevention of Diseases
and three health talks to school child
ren. This week she is examining the
children Of the Paxvillc school.
When we asked for human inter
est story to enlivcn this report, the
nurse said: "While we are all given
talents, some five, some two, some
one-I have been trying to use mine
to the best Of my ability, and when a
nurse goes into home where there
is sickness and suffering, helps to re-
lieve it, is able to sympathize in time
OF need and knows that she has help
ed to give comfort-surely she can
not help but feel that some good is
being accomplished even though it is
in a small way" Is this not splen-
did expression of the creed of un-
sclfishness that a true nurse always
practices? And surely good could
not be accomplished in a larger or
more lasting way.

Mr.. COTHRAN AGAINST
THE GRADING BILL

Brookncal, Va, Feb. II,
Editor, Manning Times,
My Dear Editor:
l have just received a COPY of the
proposed iniquitous tobacco warehouse
Dill which is before the South Caro-
lima General Assembly. | cannot let
this matter go by without first telling.
the tobacco growers of Clarendon
County what | know about this would
be measure.
In Il recent communication to Rep
resentativc w. ID. Allen / stated the
purpose Of this bill, the origmators,
etc. 1t is we'll known in South Caro-
lima what | think Of being forced to
grade South Carolina tobacco. I have
fought this agitation since 1916. The
public will recall my last stand against
this last spring when Mr.. G.. r. Sprott
of Manning and | aired tie affair. This
measure had its conception i'm the
brains of the Independent brokers or
so-callcd Independent Tobacco Com
panics. These boys are loaded up on
1919 high priced stocks Of tobacco and
they have been scheming now for the
last twelve months, trying to work
out some plan by which they can un-
load
The proposed Grading Bill or $5,-
10000 fine for a warchouseman who
would sell tobacco ungradcd is the
plan they have adopted. The idea is
to force a grading bill by threatening
to not put representatives on the
South Carolina markets if tobacco
isn't graded. I wish to state right
here that very little South Carolina
tobacco this past season was bought
by the Independent Companies in COM
,parison to what the big companies
bought. The big companies are not
making a fight for any change in the
manner of selling in South Carolina.
] can readily read between the lines
and see at glance what the boys
have in mind is this: force a grading
bill. 1t will cut the South Carolina
crop possibly half in two. cannot
see for my life how the various rep
resentatives Of the tobacco growing
section of Eastern South Carolina can
sit down in the Legislature hall at CO.
lumbia and allow n measure passed
like this without first putting it to Il
referendum. The farmers of the to-
bacco section should be allowed to
pass on this matter by ballot. a bill
Of this kind is certainly undemocratic
and it seems to me to be so autocratic
in it's makeup that the State consti-
tuition would be tramplcd upon and
counted as the Germans counted the
Belgium Treaty--a scrap Of paper. l
certainly would never think of giving
my vote to measure Of this kind
without first getting authority from
the constituency / represented.
If this bill passes it is going to
work hardship on the average to-
b9cco grower. IT will Of necessity
force him to do something that he
doesn't know how to do. 1t will force
him to build pack-houses and take
from four to five months to grade and
sell his tobacco. He will be forced to
keep his children out Of school in
many instances to help him 1t will
work a hard ship on his good wife. He
will lose good big per cent of his to-
bacco by getting spoiled in bulk, by
packing it down with too. much case

IN 1t. BY this | mean being too high
IN order. | remember years ago when
we tied and graded tobacco in South
Carolina | found many buiks OF TO-.
bacco IN poorly arranged packing,
house spoiled. When he half grades
and ties his tobacco and puts it on
the market the same class of people
that are trying to get this bill passed
will buy it for less than it is worth,
have 1t regarded and sell it for Il pro
fit.
This bill will work hardship on
the small markets; it will put them
out of business. When YOU stop to
consider that the various tobacco com
panlcs have to cover all the markets
and when we consider that Eastern
North Carolina, the old belt i'm North
Carolina and Virginia will all open be-
fore South Carolina would get half
through selling we can then see that
the companies will not have men to
cover all the small markets. The far
mcr around these markets will be
forced to haul or ship their tobacco to
the larger markets regardless of eX-
pense and trouble
AS matters now stand South Caro-
lima gets the first pull at the best to-
bacco buyers. These same BUYERS
later will fill places at Wilson, Kins-
ton, Rocky Mount, LaGrange and
Grcenville, N. c., South Boston and
Danville, Va. If we are forced to
grade tobacco and Georgia isn't, she
will step in the South Carolina tobac
co growers places Our farmers as
| have stated before handn't ought
to grumblc. ! have been in
Virginia since the first Ct Oc-
tobcr, 1920 and I know of my own
personal knowledge that South Caro-
lima growers realized fully as much
for their tobacco for the same quality
as the Virginia growers have. The
same held good in Eastern North
Carolina. In fact the growers, didn't
get as much as tkcy did in South
Carolina taking into consideration
they were compelled TO grade and tie.
am taking this stand purely from
an unselfish standpoint. | have a
large stock Of tobacco on hand, and a
short crop would no doubt help me to
sell it at a better price, but | am put
ting the interest of my people above
my interest. This bill will help me
when tobacco is graded. And being.
on ono of the oldest and best mar
kcts in South Carolina, Manning--my
business will increase. / will get
what the small market got before.
This bill will put a crimp in the cs.
tablshing of any more markets in
South Carolina. The large planter
that is well fixed may profit by this
measure but the poor white man and
negro will suffer hardship because
he is not prepared to store and grade
his tobacco. 1t seems that these rep
re" ntativcs Of the people should be
ss SIZED with taxing the people to
death without putting an impractical,
additional burden upon them at this
time. | hope the Governor will veto
this bill if the Legislature passes it.
Yours respectfully,

Quite an unexpected and romantic
marriage occurred in Charleston about
IL o'clock last Thursday night, the
contracting parties being Mr.. Allen c.
Bradham Of Manning and Miss Willie
Wright, Of Clayton, Ala. A few
weeks ago Miss Wright came to Man
ming to visit the family of Mr.. D. M.
Bradham, and renew an old family
friendship that existed years ago, and
although the young Mr.. Bradham had
never met her before, yet only few
days sufficed for him to become a vic
tim Of cupid's arrows. A case of love
at flrst sight was at once set up, and
to the young suitors' happy delight
was soon reciprocated. Like most
young lovers who WOO and win, OF
are wooed and won, they told not
their secret, but it could not altogcth-
er be hidden that cupid was getting
in some good work. When the young
couple boarded a train last Thursday
afternoon to go to Kingstrce to at
tend reception no one dreamed Of
the plans that were SO we'll laid, and
it was surprise the next day when
the young groom's father received a
telegram from Charleston announc-
ing their marriage and requesting
that they be met at the train the next
morning. Instead Of going to King
stree they went on to Charleston and
drove to the residence of the Rev. J.
Walter Daniel, who performed the
ceremony, and the next day
the happy young couple proceeded to
enjoy themselves taking in the city.
Yesterday the large DELL at the
Moses Levi Memorial Institute got

ceiling of the first floor. Fortunately
none Of the children were near and
no further damage than fright to the
