'/ V/ - ' r;- ' r DRAIN IT AT ONCE. |v . | \ The Koiircc ol SickiiMs Should In- 1 Rrmovrtl Iiiiinwlintply. : For years Abbeville has been singularly blessed In its exemption from sickness, but 11 notwithstanding ourgood health, there is one place in town where citizens have for a long . time suffered from fever. j A little branch has its source in a swamp or i marsh In rear of the Snssard house, which Is ' occupied by Mr. Albert Hamlin. The fact -'A. that he and his neighbors have so long suf-i be ; fered from fever has excited enquiry ; as 10 the cause. The premises of the near 1 neighbors, who live in proximity to the1 notl r swamp, have been carefully examined, but no IV definite or certain cause has been agreed ' upon as to the cause of the sickness. We j learn that the doctors are divided in opinion ;. as to whether that swamp has anything to do with it. They all agree, we believe, that three things are necessary to produce malarial N' fever, namely: Warmth, decaying matter - and moisture. Without the presence of either of the three, malaria cannot exist, j They do not agree that, the swamp contains j all these, aud hence the doctors differ on the j question as to whether the swamp has any I ll evil ettect. *** Speaking for the Press and Banner, and as a , layman, we hope that the Hoard of Health or ' M. city council, may take necessary steps at , once in nave me swauip uucucu. i no uu?i would be but a trifle, aud it would be well to decide the doubt against, the swamp. A few j " dollars outlay would settle I he question as to i l-J whether the swamp is responsible for I he ' j sickness. If a ditch was run around the dire swamp at the base of the hills the water j0 t would run off, the land would dry, and certainly the "moisture" part of the malarial | wut: composition would d'sappear. C. H We presume the Board of Health or the 5 town council have power to abate a nuisance. If so, that swamp, if it makes sickness, Is cer- esl 0 talnly a nuisauce. Jf the owners of the land prop cannot, or ought not to be taxed for the ditch- lan{| ing, then let. the town council or ttie Board of Health act promptly,and energetically. The At)l) i life of our citizens and the good name of the | s town are at stake j JJig I Ditch the swamp on suspicion. It is cer-1 c i talnly worth the expense to have the qttes-! . tion settled. 1 I mor Since the aoove was put in type we learn you ' that the Board of Health have already taken . j steps to have the swamp drained, and we pre- oine ' same the wora will be commenced Immeill- L< ately. It affords the Press and Banner greit geo pleasure to report that we have a most effi- . clent Board of Health, and that they have the 11161 courage to do their duty as they see it. This TI I swamp is now the only menace to our health, . and its day as a cow mire and malarial proJ ducer is numbered. ' The natural drulnage of Abbeville is per- Nc feet, and there need be no malaria here, ex1 cept from our own neglect of the drainage laws. ? Cj THE OLD FORT. ? Thieve* ? Marriage* ?

TE> We intend to convict the criminal though gem we be forced to move our cases to Irelaud.' qos Such Is the verdict of the Constitutional Con- i v ventlon of South Carolina. The liberties of duri t.he people are no longer secure. Our idea of ON the criminal law was that the defendant is al- eXc? ways supposed to be Innocent until he is jjtty proved guilty. Not so with the State. It tran charges that a man Is guilty nnd will convict gChn though ii has to carry the prisoner away from ty B his frieuds and his family.

The Board of County Commissioners met >n the 7th November, for annual settlement, ind review of the work of the preceding year, supervisor John Lyon was chairman, Mr. J. Li. McMillan was secretary, and the following nembers of the Board were present: C. A. C. .Valler, H. J. Kinard, G. B. Riley, L. A.. Shanton. D. P. Hannah, M. G Donald, J. C. Thomas. T. J. Brltt, W. L. Miller, J. L. White, P. H. Vdams, J. a. Gibert, J. L. McMillan. It was found that the revenues were sufflilent for the last fiscal year. Under the old system the average monthly xpenditures was over 82,0fl0. Under the new ystem, since January 1,1893, the average has teen about 51,600. The expenditures are less than formerly, tut there has been a vast improvement in the mblic roads. On account of old indebtedness, contracted >y previous Board it was resolved to ask for a peclal levy of half a mill to pay the same. The Board decided to change the system of forking the roads on and after the first of anuary next. After that tirneone roadovereer, and uot more than two, lor each townhip will be employed by the Board at a reaonable salary. The election of the road tverseers will take place at their meeting in anuary. Tne road overseers in each townhip will be required towaruoutall persons table to road duty and who have not paid the ommutatlon tax of two dollars, and perform Ix days work on the roads. In place of the nen who pay commutation tax, the road iverseers will hire labor. The Board have bought a road maohlne Fll If II aoeB gOOU, una iuhch uie piav;c ui uiaujr lends. It Is proposed to use it on the lending oads first, so as to do the most good to tbe ;reatest number. Several petitions for new roads were preented, but because of otLier business tbe conideratlon of all, except a short road near jowndesvllle, were postponed until their neeting in January. Tbe different members expressed great sat* sfactlon In tbe working of tbe chain gang, 'hey had done most excellent work, and It ras the opinion of the Board that the new ystem which will go Into effect on January st, in connection with tbe chain gang, will nake a perfect system of road working, and n a little while Abbeville county will be traversed by most excellent roads In every secion. Tbe members of the Board impressed tbe iupervlsor with their Interest in working for be improvement of tbe roads, and be has no ort of doubt that there will soon be reports of ;reat improvement in all tbe roads. The Board went through the formality of ippfoving all the clalmB, and as a final act vent out to witness tbe working of the new oad machine, which gave satisfaction. It !06t S225. Mr. Rice, of the firm of Greene & teese, of Corouaca,sold tbe machine and set t to work-. Mr. G. H. Moore was present and isslsted in working the machine. It is likely that the Supervisor, or County Board, will buy some railroad scrapers to lev>l down the high places and fill up the low ilaces. Tbe tone and feeling existing at tbe meetng was cordial and kindly. Tne members of ,he Board are of the best Hnd most practical nen in their respective neighborhoods, and be public works are safe in tbelr hands. Bet,er men could not be found.
