JOHNSTON LETTER.
Clinic July 8. Price of Beans
Disappointing. Girls Aux
iliary Busy. Delight
full Parties Given.

Everyone is urged To tieLie1ipei
the free clinic to be held here July
9Th, and tell all about this, white and
colored, that in any way may be
tubercular suspect. DR.. Cooper of the
State sanitorium, with two nurses,
will be here to make examinations.

on Edisto street, which MIR. Harry
Strother has offered for use. There
has been such an increase in tuber-
culosis in the state that there are
great numbers that can not be taken
in for treatment at the sanitarium,
and the idea of the clinics which are
being held in each county, is<to show
the state the appalling number Of pa
tients. The legislature contemplates
making larger appropriations for
health, and after reports of the elm
les, no doubt all necessary funds will
be had, to provide proper place OF
treatment.

The bean-growers have not realiz-
ed the amount expected from this
product, for by the time the crates
had reached their final destination,
all profit seemed as far away as the
beans were. The soil produced great
quantities, and the farmers did not
get a fair deal somewhere.
