A WORD IN THE INTEREST OF SAI

The warm, pleasant, sprin,

that the time of the year is j
hand when our pren ises shoul
he put in order as a preventiv
of sickness during the hot sun
mer months. L mcaster has bee
singularly tree Ironi epidemics <
:evers for a number of years, du
to the fact that the communit
whole has been paying som
regard to matter- of sanitalioi
Let there be no break in tHe goo
sanitary record the present se<
a -n.
Every citizen should see to j
at once that his lots, yards, ou1
houses and premises generall
are thoroughly cleaned, and tiia
they are kept in that condition a
least throughout the summe
months. Of course disinfectant
s ould be kept on hand and free)
used. All wells should also b
cleaned out and surface watf
kept out of them. Uernembe
that aii ounce of prevention i
worth a pound of cure.
The council should, and n
doubt will, do everything in it
power to safeguard the town'
health All street drains shoul
be cleaned out without delaj
and all public lots cleane
off and properly drained. Ther
is no greater menace to healti
than filth and, therefore, every
*' vestige ot anything filthy or offensive
to smell should be removed
or destroved. Let every
. ordinance desiened to preserve
and promote health be strictly
enforced Irom now on.

SOLICITOR HENRY S EXPLAN A- t
TION.
As will be seen by his commu j
Vs nicati-m appearing in today's pa
4 per. So'icitor Henry tells why a
considerable ?um was paid him
e_ out ot the Governor's special con
"jtingent fund on account of the j
investigation ot the Kershaw
J*. I
jj" lynching. Mr. Henry was sim
1_ J ply reimoursed money which he
?[jhad advanced to Mr. Howie a'
rr the Governor's request. Those
who know Mr. Ilenrv well never
?i * i
of I for a moment doubted that the
| matter was susceptible ot satis ]
; factory explanation so far as he
? is concerned. That is to say.
k haying full confidence in his bonCt
|
jesty, they were confident that Mr
? j Henry had not been guilty of
! any "rake-off" of public funds.
? | But. while it is now made clear
,,, that the Solicitor did Bot imt
properly receive the money ree
, ferred to, it is by no means
Io equally as clear that his conduct
in this unfortunate affair is al- j
together free from criticism.? |
rs With his approval, it appears,
3S large sums of money belonging
n" to the state have been paid to a
e*|man for doing nothing of practical
benefit to the commonwealth.
I Instead of Mr. ii. B. Howie, Mr. j
al , Henry's detective, receiving $],\v
300 76 for his alleged services in
id the Morrison matter, as recently
r- stated in these columns, the state.
a ment being ta-ed on the compin
troller general's report, lie re
ir ceived altogether the amazing
i<j sum of # 1.6G1.32, for to the said
m i sum ot 11.300.76 must now be
at j added the payment of #360.56
a to Mr. Henry, which the SMicito.
sa>s was for Howie also. The
'idea ot Detective Howie's servile
ces in the Morrison investigation
j being worth anything like $.1
^ 661.32 appears preposterous.

Blow to Bucket-Shops?Contracts

in Texas.
Dallas Texas. March 8.--The
Court of Civil Appeals at Austin
today dealt what looks like h
ia<al blow to dt-ahi g in cotton
futures in Texas in reversing
and dismissing the case of Jessie
L. Norris against W. S. La-giti
to recover mouev luruialiei to
buy lutures, allegiug ih*t Logan 1
bad not fold according to direc
tions.
Logan, who represent' Sanger
and Ettelson, filed a counter
claim for money put up on markins.
The court dismissed the
whole case, saving that it was
gambling, and such deals were
non (orle't^ble and contrary to
public policy. The effect ot thej
decision is that neither side can
co lect any mcney ;n Texas on I
deals in cotton future5.

A TALK
BETWEEN j
Two Farmersi!
"Hello, Hustler ; how long before you are going out?"
"I'm ready now."
"Suppose we go out together?" "That suits me fine ;
I like company, anyway."
"Look here! ? where did you buy your flour?" "I
bought it from Edwards."
"How much did it cost you?" "$2.30 per sack."
"How much did yours cost you?" "$2.50 per sack."
"Well, that settles it. If you find it good, I am going
to buy me up enough to do me until August." "You \
need not worry about the grade. I used it all last year.
It's nice, white and flakey, and makes fine bread."
"There's no use talking, Edwards has the goods and
Edwards has the price. Everything sold in proportion.
When you go there you can get most everything you
need-Flour, Lard, Coffee, Sugar ; in fact, all kinds of
Groceries, Tinware, Dry Goods, Shoes, Hats, and all kinds
of Notions. When you want to buy, don't fail to see
Edwards, where goods go at your price or his, one."
"Rv the way, has he any one-horse wagon harness?"
"les, 1 saw 8 or 11) sets there today."
"Well, I'll go in when I go back and see what I can
do." "He will sure sell you a set cheap." # ; L
"Well, I turn off here ; good-bye. When you go back I
to town you will find him?
