Vaccinate Now

There are few cases of small
pox in the county, but in every
~case it is found among those
who have failed or refused to
submit to vaccination. Not a
child has developed a case nor
is there case among white
people, health authorities in
form us.
Occasionally there exists a
prejudice against vaccination,
which is really rather foolish.
There is no community in the
nation that does not advocate
and insist upon vaccination. 1t is
sure, positive and is the means
that has saved many life.
Before we had vaccine, there
were smallpox epidemics in
thousands of communities. Oft
en- the death list was tragic.
Since science discovered this
preventative, no appreciable
number of cases have occurred
in any one community.

Y ONE IN SUMTER COUNTY VISITS OUR FAIR Of
Evolution Of Races

Most of the big wars for CEN
turtles have been business clashes
or conflicts Of political systems
such as democracy arraying it.
self against monarchy.
The world hasn't had a real
racial war since the Chinese
and Mohammedan invasions of
Europe.
But the next big war may be
a collision of races.
So runs the talk in scientific
circles.
A thousand years ago the
white race ruled only part of
Europe. Now the whites rule
eight-ninths Of the habitable
world. though they form only
third Of the worlds population.
But the various colored races
are multiplying rapidly. The
white race, despite its near-sui-
eide in the World War, and de-
spite the spread of birth con-
troll, is increasing though not
nearly as fast as blacks, yellows
and browns.
Increased inequality in
numbers means, in a democratic
age, an inevitable transfer of
power" warns Professor ]. w.
Gregory.
Which is the superior racer
Every race steps forward and
answers, We are" Truth is, it
depends on the date. Chinese
had great civilization when
Europeans were wearing wild
animal skins and hunting with
a club.
Right now the white unques-
tionably are superior - in
wealth, invention, arts and sci
ences. Time may change our
standing. All civilizations de-
cay, as surely as petals fall from
the blooming rose.
Felix Luschan in his latest
book writes: The differences
between races, especially those
regarding intellectual and moral
qualities, are by no means as
great as the differences between
single individuals belonging to
the same race. There are no
inferior races, but each race has
its inferior individuals"
He might haveadded that the
inferior individuals" frequent
ly are decidedly in the majority.
The main difference between
races is that they are in differ
ent stages of evolution, just as
the habitual criminal is thous-
ands of years behind the aver
age law-abidinging citizen. in

COAL

COAL
The soft coal industry continues
quiet. A lot of coal men accept the
situation Realistically and blame it
on poor business conditions gener-
ally. When factories aren't running,
they're not burning coal. On the
ether hand, the railroads use a large
part of the coal output, and they
have recently been hauling more
freight than ever before.
One thing that has made the coal
business quiet is the great number
of businesses and building that
have turned to crude oil for fuel
More will, many of them.

Seven-tenths of the worlds oil is
used right here in the Ugted States.
This is an accurate reflection of
our mechanical leadership, for the
main useh of oil are machinery
fabrication and driving power by

crude oil.
Our civilization is largely mechan

man will be released for intellectual

Houses Very Bad,

The shabby, overcrowded condi-

districts were described by Miss
Marie Merrill, of the Public Welfare
Department OF Chicago, at the an
nual dinner Of the Sarah Hackett
Stevenson Home at the Union League
Club.
Of 300 rooms examined by the de-
partment's investigators, said Miss
Merrill, none were rated as "good."
The highest rated were "fair," which
means that they lacked the important
elements of comfort. Shabbiness was
general.
The inadeouacy Of the housing IA
eiiities downtown are revealed by the
TACT that there are 300,UO0 workers
working in the industrial sections Of
Chicago and only 5000 downtown
residences.
In one month twice as many per-
sans applied for rooms as could be
accommodated. Rooming house land
lords often shut their doors on fami-
lies with children, leaving them to
walk the streets if they can get no
ether shelter. There is no law to
prevent such actions.
