good attendance and but for the fact
that Mr.. Chapman came along while
/ was halted at the road where you
leave the highway to go out to
St. Johns, debating what l could do,
l would not have been there myself,
because | had just about reached the
conclusion that the only thing l could
do was to turn around and come
back home. At this place on the
highway that is being built down this
way an embankment some six or
eight feet has been made and the
heavy rains had left a large pond OF
water in the St. Johns road covering
the entire road and l knew was not
going to make an effort to cross the
pond. 1t seems to me that the road
builders should try to keep from
stopping travel even by the cross
roads in leaving the highway. One
of the men connected with the con-
struction came along while | was
standing there and he said the engi-
neer should look after this and that
nothing could be done until some
pipe had been furnished so that the
water could be drained off l am
sure it will be fixed very soon and
no one could foresee the heavy rains
that have been falling and but for
that the road could have been passed.
Mr.. Chapman said there was another
way just a little further back By
which he thought we could make the
trip. We did but it is bad and l
would not care to try it again. l got
there, and this road should be work
ed and opened for the convenience
of the people up this side though it
is not a public road or any other
kind for that matter worth mention
ing, but it is much nearer the church
and the school house going from the
Pomaria side. l came back by Hopes
and into Pomaria from that side
where they are going to build high
way on to Peak.

The Improvement association on
Friday held its meeting at the hospi-
table home of Mrs D. R. Scurry.
This fine country home is just across
the line in Laurens county but q
good many of the Laurens children
come to the Vaughnville school be-
cause it is much nearer and when we
get the school we'll organized and in
good working condI dItion there will
possibly be more to come. The
fine country home of Mr.. and Mrs!
Scurry is located on a high plateau
overlooking the surrounding country
and in the midst of magnificent oak
grove and Mrs. Scurry knows how to
dispense that real old Southern hos
pitality in a very gracious manner
and to make the guest feel at home
and glad that he has come. It was
a real pleasure to see so many of the
ladies' of the community present and
to see the fine spirit of cooperation
manifested in the work of the asso-
citation and the fine community spir-
it which pervaded the whole meeting.
Mrs. R. E. Watkins is the president
and she presides with ease and grace
and the meeting is conducted in
businesslike manner and the associa
tion has already done some fine work
and when we get in the new school
house we expect even greater things
and we have no doubt they will be
done. 1t is fine custom, however,
to have some of the meetings at the
fine and hospitable homes for which
this community is noted. The school
will open here on the 18th cf Sep
tember, and on the 18th, Friday he
fore, the people of the community
are going to have a picnic at the
school house and they invite every
body to come and enjoy the day with
them and bring a basket. In the
meantime, speaking of the associa-
ton, it is well to remember that
Mrs. J. O. Johnson is the treasurer,
very important Office and by re-
membering who the treasurer is it
will help you to remember where
you can leave your contributions.

rounded if this phase is not properly
considered and since moral and men
tai well-being are, in large part, de-
pendent upon the physical status of
the man, we can not give too great
consideration to such an important
factor.
Now the physical side of man is
we'll within the domain of that pro-
fession that deals with the curative
art. Yet the hopes of medicine are
not confined to the treatment of the
individual. Unfortunately, the ply
sician has, too long, treated the indi-
vidual after he has fallen i'll to some
preventable disease, while the effort
to abate and control the occurrence
of the disease has not been effectual-
ly made. This is exactly opposite to
the plan to abolish ignorance and
vice. We do not wait until one is
an adult to teach an education or the
lessons of the Bible. We do in all
cases try to convert the wicked and
educate the ignorant but the idea is
to prevent ignorance and vice by
early instruction. However, in that
all important factor, our health, the
idea has never successfully pervaded
the public mind. That this is no fault
of the medical men, goes without
saying. The public gets exactly
what they want. Unfortunately, we
are not gifted with a health con-
science Religious training gives US
the laws of morality; the state gives
us certain laws respecting our rela-
ton with our neighbor but our body,
our health, is ours to do with as we
choose and if we mistreat it we do
not suffer either the anger of the law
of the land nor twinge of moral con-
science. Civilized people have been
content to pass anti-spitting laws
in public places, doing away with
public drinking cups and laying down
certain regulations concerning con-
tagious diseases and then sat back in
SNUG satisfaction that they have
done very wonderful thing. 1t
must be admitted if these regulations.
were carefully observed, they would
be prolific Of great good and are
truly commendable yet they repre-
sent only the A. 3. C. of preventive
medicine.
The great war has taught US many
lessons. Perhaps the ones which will
give to posterity the greatest good
are entirely medical in consideration.
Preventive medicine, as applied to
large groups of people, has been
shown definitely and conclusively to
be not an idle dream of some vision
ary idealist but to be a potent and
applicable principle. The public,
generally speaking, is always a num-
Der of years behind science and more
especially medical science. The most
striking example Of this is shown by
the fact that the miasmlc theory
transmission by means of foul arr
is still held by thousands of people
as being the cause of "fevers." The
time is surely ripe to expose such
fallacies to the very individual and
to get his cooperation as one of the
mass, to assist in the removal of the
real conditions which are the cause
of "fevers." AS a matter of fact,
the time is rapidly approaching when
the individual cannot pass Judgment
on these matters. The freedom "of
the land of the free does not allow
one to maintain anything which may
be or is a menace to his neighbor's

We got back to Newberry at l2:3u
and at 2:30 l went with DR.. E. Paul
Knots to Vaughnville to attend a
meeting of the Improvement assocla-
ton of the Vaughnville school. DR..
Knots is the physician in charge OF
the health work in the county and l
was very much pleased with him and
it seems to me that he is going about
the work in the right sort of way and
is using judgment and common
sense. He read most excellent pa
per at the meeting at Vaughnville
and by resolution of the association
and with my request also the paper
is published in this issue of The Her.
aid and News and it will be we'll II
YOU will read it. DR.. Knots is very
active and it was really surprising at
the knowledge he has of the various
sections of the county and the peo-
pie when you take into consideration
the very short time he has been here.
The law says that all children must
be vaccinated before they can be
received in the school. DR.. Knots
will offer to vaccinate without charge
but he is not going to do it unless
YOU desire him to, but when he makes
the inspection he will enforce the
law, and the child will be excluded
from the school until the vaccination
has been successfully done. AS the
schools are soon to open this matter
had better be attended to at once.
He has also been doing whole lot
of typhoid vaccination, and there has
not been a great deal of this dread
disease in the city or the county,
though more than should be if it is
an avoidable. disease. We need to
give more attention to sanitation at
our schools and also at our homes
and the purpose is going to be to
teach the children in the school the
Importance of it and to show them
how it can be done and the advan-
tage.

to Wards it is not much better, and

WOOLW|NE To PROBE
MAYO MARRIAGE IN
LOWER CALF ORN|A
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

LOS ANGELES, May 22.--Addi-
tional data on the marriage OF Ro-
dolph Valentino, film actor, and
Winifred ,Hudnut at Mexicali, Lower
California, May 13, and the marriage
of Frank Mayo, film actor, and Dag
mar Gowdowsky, at Tia Juana, Lower
California, Oct. 3, 1921, viii be sought
by Thomas Lee Woolwine, district at
torney. He and Tom McClelland,
deputy, announced today they
planned to make a trip to the border
towns Wednesday night for this pur-
pose.
Valentino is under arrest on a
charge Of bigamy and awaiting pre-
liminary hearing here June 15.
No official action has been taken
yet in the case of Mayo, but the dis
trict attorney was said to consider
his case, like that OF Valentino, as of
sufficient Importance for him to take
personal charge.
''We propose TO find out whether
the criminal code of California can
protect the sanctity of the marriage
relation" said McClelland. IF these
couples have lived together 8 man
and wife since the ceremonies were
performed their relation has been. in
the eyes of the law, palpably big
amous. Section 1106 of the penal
code reads:
Upon trial for bigamy
when the second marriage takes place
outside of this state, proof of that
fact. accompanied with proof of CO.
habitation thereafter in this state, is
sufficient to sustain the charge It
seems to me the intent of the law is
so plain there can be no questioning
of it.'
Valentino obtained an interlocutory
decree of divorce from Jean Acker
here Jan. 10 last. Mayo married MISS
Godowsky, the daughter OF Leopold
Godowsky, the pianist, four days after
an interlocutory decree had been OBJ
tanned here from Joyce Eleanor Mayo.
The California law does not permit
rernarriage until a final decree is OBJ
tanned, year after the interlocutory
decree is granted.

NEW YORK, May 22.-The col
lapse of Germany. and consequently
of other European nations, is inevi-
table If the United States continues
to stand aside.
Financial collapse may come any
time. May 81, when another repara-
tions payment is due, will be criti-
cal day.
Germany needs speedy and consid
erable reduction of reparation pay
ment and a breathing interval of at
least a number of years in which no
payments are made. Germany also
needs a considerable loan, in which
we hope the United States viii take
part.
Foreigners travelling In Germany
are easily led into misconception
of conditions. Factories are running
and there is very little unemploy-
ment. There are even signs of lux
ury in the larger cities. especially in
hotels. and foreigners often conclude
a certain prosperity exists.
The truth is that. this prosperity
to a very great extent is absorbed by
payment of reparations and by in
creased imports of foodstuffs which
are necessary because OF the decline
of German agriculture.
Preparations paid last year were
one and a half billion gold marks
the product OF the work of a million
men and women.
The cost of living in Germany in
August, 1921, was IA times as much
as before the war. In March. 1922, it
was 80 times as much.
