WHAT CAMBRIDGE CAUGHT. !
Prouonuced Dust ? Donblful Preachluf;
?Visitors and Pea Viues.
Ninety-Six, S.C., Sent. 20,1S97. I
Last Sunday many of our good Ninety Six- j
lans attended services at Reboboth, some
eight or ten miles distant from this place.
Tbe morning was cool and the heavens over- J
cast with fleeing clouds, but nothing short of
a deluge could dampen the courage or desire j
to hear Leltcb. All arrayed In Immaculate
lluen, we sallied forth about 8.30 o'clock. As
we rode along enjoying tbe cool, salubrious
breeze, and observing the fine crops that lay
along our route, we were made aware of the
fact that dust would rule the day; os king
CJ,~| u** Ul" Hlcnopcort thfl nlnnriR ?nd
the dew disappeared, the dust began to rise,
and snowy-wbite apparel began to take on a
less snowy appearance. In due season we
sighted Rehoboth, surrounded by a beautiful
grove, wblch was to the weary, dusty travelers,
a Laveu of rest. We were among tbe
first arrivals, and had plenty of time for usi
nga clothes-brush?not unnecessarily, either.
Very soon vehicles came pouring In, and In
an Inconceivably short while the grove was
an animated scene. Tbe church, though of
ample size, could not accommodate tbe crowd.
The song service was Indeed sweet. Marsball's
voice has not lost any of Its sweetness,
and as he poured forth his voice in song, how
readily one could see his earnestness! Mr.
Leitch, In his usual manner, preached concerning
the standard of Christian living, imploring
bis hearers to raise the standard of
their lives to Christ's standard, and not bring
the high standard Christ has raised down to
their poor, weak lives. Mr. Leltcb said many
good things, and many things be might well
have left unsaid. After an intermissiou, during
which dinner was eaten, the crowd again
listened to Mr. Leitcb, on the danger of compromises.
This sermon, as witb the forenoon
sermon, had some capital advice and was.
taken as a whole, true to nature Mr. Leitch

(News and Courier.)
Evidently our esteemed contemporary, Tb
Cycle, baa bad trouble wltb one of Its readers
and makes some pertinent remarks upon i
subject wblcb has occasionly obtruded ltsel
upon the wisest In tbe business of "pleaslni

your Bible, the hundreds of presses wouli
still go on printing it. So when you sto
your paper and can call tbe editor names, tb
paper will still be published, and what I
more, you will read It on the sly."
As to tbe truth of what the Cycle says w
shall neither affirm nor deny. It is practl

ABOUT TYPHOID FEVER*
i A Filth RUenne Canned by a Specific
1 OrganlMm from DrlnklnK Wateir.
1 j (Bulletin of tbe Virginia Board of Health.)
* Typhoid Is a tilth disease. It Is caused by a
[ specific organism which Is almost always Ini
| troduced Into the body through drinking wai
ter, The organism gets Into the water from
8 tbe discharges 01 loose rick wuu ine uisease,
j or possibly by the development of an usually,
i harmless germ wblcb occurs In tbe lntestineB
r ] Into a harmful one. Typhoid Is railed a rural
y j disease, because about two cases occur In the
r country to one In the city. This Is probaly
i ! not true In Indiana. Iu Massachusetts, New
f I York, and especially in Europe, such Is the
;! condition. If Indiana cities were furnished
11 wllb pure public water supplies and proper
f | sewage disposal, as are most cities in the reg
glons named, tbe condition would al-o uns
doubtedly exist with us. To banish typhoid
51 fever.we must drink pure water.
1 So long as we have two holes in each yard?
. one to receive flltb and tbe other to supply us
) with water?we may expect to have this ter>
rlbly destructive filth disease. In any city or
r town where the vault and well system has
a been In use for a period of years, there is no
r way but to abandon the welis and Beek a pure
r public water supply.
Tbe usual conditions existent on farms are
about as follows: The farmer at 6ome time
s i purchsed a farm, selected a site for ills bouse,
built it, and at tbe same time, 1m close proxi8i
mity, dug a well and a vault. He alo con
w htrucltru uut jui awa) ? uciu lur ijiw utiiuu.
Living at this place now commenced, and
I very probably within six. ten, fifteen, per
baps twenty years, the family begin having
' various aliments. One of the members may
l have complained of indigestion and nometlmes
diarrhoea, or all might have been so affected.
Again, nausea and vomiting after
meals might be experienced, or frequent coated
tongues, ascribed to biliousness, might
appear, and lastly, the awful typhoid fever
might make Its unwholesome visits. Why
all this? The doctor was probaly called and
e his medicine faithfully taken, yet little or no
' abatement was experienced. The problem
a has been solved. The sanitarian?sometimes
f called the microbe crank?has studied and in
B vestigated until the secret was discovered
Here it is: At first the ground furnfsbed pure
't water. Neither on the surlace of the earth
' i nor any distance below tbe surface was filth
" I lo be found. Finally the vault became full,
01 and the barnyard deep In manure. The
' | vault was tilled up anil another one dug. It,
a In time, was also tilled, abandoned, and the
u| third one provided. The purifying powers of
1 Mother Earth were finally overtaxed. The
1 rains filled the vault, covered tbe barnyard,
1 and sut k Into the earth at every point. As
'' tbe water percolated down It carried to tbe
1 underground streams filth in solution, and at
^ last, although clear and tasteless, polluted
J water got into the well. Now the troubles deP
| tailed above began to appear. This is not
e I speculation or theory: it is actual, practical
8 investigation. Huudreds of limes has this
been proved. Thousands of experiments, with
e years of study by a great many scientists,
have absolutely established the fact that ty6
pbold Is a filth disease, proceeding In almost
h every instance from water polluted with our
l" own excrement.?Crawfordsvllle Journal.
B The conditions as described so well In the
JJ newspaper article which appeared In the In3
diana Bulletin likewise exist in Virginia.
,l Typhoid Is more prevalent in the country
1 than In our cleies, hence, I tommend this
1 article to the public arid the profession.
6 Wherever typhoid fever exi6tB, whether one
a or more cases, the privies and tbe premises
1 around tbe dwelling, stables aud barnyard
8 should be put In as perfect hygienic sondi
11 lion as poBHioie, bdu inorouguiy uuieti. iue
p spring, well or pump should be thoroughly
a cleaned out, and all drinking water should be
y boiled before drinking by those that are sick
and those that are well. See that the water
? supply Is not contaminated by the drainage
\ of tilth from any source whatever. If these
'' recommendations are observed the spread of
? this disease will be checked.
