/ The Press and Banner tells Of a
DR.. Crosby, who is going down to
Manning this week to operate on
children to remove their tonsils and
adenoids. A preliminary examina-
tion showed 4s6 children in Manning
with diseased tonsils and adenoids." /"
A large two-story school building has
been fitted up as a hospital in which
the operations are to take place.
Isn't there something of a fad
about tonsils and adenoids? About
the tonsils anyhow? Has Nature lost
skill in her handiwork that so many
defective children should be born in
these latter days? when you and 1
were young, Maggie" we never knew
we had such things as tonsils and
adenoids, and we managed to get
along pretty well and were as strong
and as healthy as the children of the
present day.
If the doctors keep on cutting out
peoples tonsils it won't be many gen.
erations till babies will be born with

once they are constructed. The State
rightly suggests that provision must
be made by the legislature for the
up-keep of those connecting links
which are part of the state system.
None the less must the counties keep
up the roads which are entirely un-
der the jurisdiction of the counties.
We shall have in this county perhaps
fifty of sixty miles of roads which
the county must be prepared to care
for. These roads will cost US from
two hundred thousand to three hun
dred thousand dollars. 1t will cost
something like twenty-five OF thirty
thousand dollars annually to keep
them in proper repair. This we must
be prepared to spend each year for
this purpose. Having gone into the
experiment. we must see it through
Yes, taxes are going to be high.
We, warned you of that in advance.
When, the, voters of this county voted
for the bond issue, they voted for
high taxes. That issue has already
been passed on. The only question
now is whether the people will throw
away the money already authorized
to be. spent, or whether they will
make a liberal allowance for the, up
keep Of the roads we are building. 1t
is now no time to cry about high
taxes: It is only time to be prepared
to pay for the things which we have
demanded.
We shall hope that the roads will
continue under a commission which
will receive enough money each year
to keep them up and that the roads
will be kept in as nearly perfect shape
as may be by the commission. For
this purpose it will be necessary that
these roads be divided into sections
and that section force work every
day in the year to this end, just as
the section forces on the railroads
work. Eternal vigilance will be the
price of keeping up these roads-and
that means money for the purpose
and a proper expenditure of the
money.
The day of low taxes is gone for
ever. It is now the day of good roads
and good roads mean high taxes.

(ures Of amelioration are manifestly

proxinate the gravity suggested by
the public health report. 1t is un-
thinkable that we should delay for
a single day the Inauguration Of
such measures. Therefore I ann writ
ing to ask you the most complete
possible report that can be made at
once-provided there is anything to
add to what you already have made
public-and especially for sugges-
ton Of proper measures to deal with
the situation.
II am also writing to Mr.. Living
stone Farrand,, head of the Ameri-
can Red Cross, in the same tenor and
suggesting that cooperation be-
tween his organization and your own
might be helpful; having in mind the
need for haste in making a full sur
vey and in planning relief: measures.
/ wish you both to be assured Of my
cooperatin and all aid that, can be
appropriately given through the ex-
ecutive department and to know
that if full information about the
situation shall make apparent that
Legislative action is necessary, I will

Chivalry VS.. Laxiness.
Greenwood Index.

Greenwood Index.
Necessity may be the mother Of
invention occasionally, but laziness
also is at least foster mother of in
vention, so three young men of
Greenwood's dancing set have prov.
en-. Going to Abbeville few nights
ago to attend a dance, a tire on their
car punctured. They were dressed in
all the finery they could muster.
They looked at the natty creases in
their trousers and sighed at the
thought of the havoc changing tire
would cause. They looked at the
three young women whom they were
escorting and heard car coming in
the distance. Then one of them had
a flash of inspiration. He explained
to the girls and the boys dived into
the thicket beside the road. The girls
got out and made show of fixing the
tire. A car of men stopped and chiv-
alrously offered to help. Others stop
ped and the tire was soon changed.
The girls thanked their helpers, got
in their car and slowly drove off and
the boys clambered In The creases
in the boys trousers had been saved.
The story is true for one of the prin-
cipals confded it to a newspaper
man.

Situation In This State

Columbia, July 26.-Dr. James A.
Hayne, state health officer, declared
today that although there had been
an increase in the number of deaths
in South Carolina from pellagra,
there was no condition of famine,
and the increase was not alarming.
According to- reports made to the
state health department there, were
in May of this year 2s deaths
throughout the state, as compared
with 20 last year. In June of this
year there were 43 deaths from pei
legra, as compared with 29 in June
of last year, but DR.. Hayne stated
that for the entire state these figures
complied today, do not indicate any
alarming condition.

PROGRESS OF DEFLATION.

American history affords many
eases of financial panics or crises fol-
lowed by economic depression, and of
the thirteen since the civil war none
left permanent i'll traces on our de-
velopment. Most of them resulted in
beneft2to the country by driving
home some lesson of too rapid expan.
sion or of unsound legislative, eco
nomic or banking policies.
We are part way, possibly well
through our fourteenth economic
crisis since 1864. What lessons will
be learned from it to our lasting
benefit is still a matter: Of specula-
tion.. But one thing. stands out like
a church on a hill. America, hard
ened to panics and periods Of severe
industrial depression, has employed
it's accumulated experience to clear
the boards Of this, the greatest of all
reactions, with courage and determi-
nation. The records show that Amer
lea has gone faster and further with
it's deflation than the other principal
nations.
We have Topped off Is per cent of
our inflated currency in a year. Eng
lands reduction of f10,000,000
amounted to only 2 per cent. of the
total in circulation. France increased
her money by only a negligible
amount, while in Italy and Germany
the printing press accounts for in
creases in paper money amounting
respectively to II per cent. and 27
per cent.
The significance of these defiation
figures is enhanced by the fact that
during the year we increased our
gold holdings by s4s3,0O0,OO0. This
amount Of new money coming to US
Efroh abroad might have been the
basis for at, least an equal amount Of
addikonal currency. But we slowed
