COLORED-BOYS BEATEN
There is no one who does not
love and enjoy a thrilling baseball
game and the colored folks are no
exception. The colored boys of
Forest City thought they had a
baseball team up until last Satur
day. On this fateful day they
went against the fast colored team
from Marion onthe home grounds.
When the melee was over the score
stood 10-1 in favor of Marion. The
home boys are game, though, and
say a different story will be told
when they next play the Marion
team.

[THE CHILD'S ENEMIES
All investigations should begin
with and be for the benefit of the
child. The population of the United
States would be fifteen or
twentv millions more had it not been
for the neglect of the parents and
the municipal governments. More
than fifteen or twenty millions of
children have been born in the United
States in the past fifteen or twenty
years, who have died because of
criminal, domestic, and municipal
neglect.
We belong to the brass-band posses
sion in works of superficiality. We
are excessive talkers, but are rather
meagre in labors of worth-while in
vestigations.
We hate the drudgery of patient,
toiling investigating for the protec
tion of our children. We have crim
inally neglected the child prior to
birth and immediately following his
entrance into the world.
We are perfectly willing for Con
gress to vote millions of dollars to
fight diseases now destroying our hogs,
sheep, cattle, and horses, but we have
spent one hundred years preventing
Congress from voting l an appropria
tion to stamp out the diseases destroy
ing our children.
We are perfectly willing for Con
gre#i to pa*g an appropriation froso

postmn:;tc: "hip at Forest City,

McCurry was taken ill and was
unable to take the examination,

date.
The appointment will most like
ly go to the one retting the en
dorsement of the County Execu
tive Committee. Mr. W. C. Blan--
ton, who has given universal sat
isfaction. will step down and out

the Republican appointee.
MR. R. T. BRATON DEAD
Mr. R. T. Bratton, who had
charge of the Directors House at
Caroleen for the past two years,
died Monday morning at 11 o'clock,
following an illness of cancer of
the stomach Mr. Bratton was 65
years old and unmarried. He is
survived by a sister, Mrs. Mary B.
Armistead, who made her home
wit!, him, and two brothers. Dr.
L. R. Bratton and Mr. John Brat
ton, both of Atlanta. The latter
is editor of an agricultural jour
nal in that citj*.
Mr. Bratton was a member of
the Presbyterian church, and a
man of many fine characteris
tics that endeared him to a host
of friends.
The remains were shipped to At
lanta, the old home, on Monday
for burial.
Tanlac is unquestionably the
most widely talked of medicine in
the world today and those who
once use it invariably buy it ovei
and over again and tell their
friends of the splendid results
they have derived from its use.

Born, to Mr. and Mrs. J. D.
! Link, Tuesday, July 11, a daughter.
which we can get financial benefit, tout
we cry economy if Congress tries to
pass an appropriation to stamp out
the murderers of our children.
We are blowing trumpets and con
gratulating ourselves about the mag
nificent work we are doing along lines
of sanitation, but we are doing prac
tically nothing to eradicate the great
venereal diseases that are affecting
and staining ninety-two per cent of
the population of the United States.
There is a continuous stream from
the cesspools of society flowing
through the yards and municipal gov
ernments of this country poisoning
the lives of our children and staining
the characters of our boys and girls.
Before we used antitoxins in diph
theria five out of every ten cases died.
Now, with the use of antitoxins only
one out of ten die.
People who fight vaccination and
other methods by which children are
made immune to disease are the en
emies of our children. They are the
curses of society, and they ought to
be incarcerated.
The time has come lo spend any
amount of money that might be neces
sary to give to this land boys an J
girls whose bodies and mijily arc ab
solutely perfect.
