DEMOCRATS, ENROLL!
The time for enrolling in order '
to participate in the democratic
primaries expires on the fourth
Tuesday in July, which is July 23rd.
A person who is not enrolled by '
that date may not vote in the pri- '
maries this year.
Owing to war activities and other ^
causes the people have not been giv- <
ing as much time as they should to '

.' of officers for the state and national i (
government. Things which have ap-j(
peared more important have kept *
them from doing so. # 11
Now that the time is growing j <
short it is hoped that all parties who, '
are entitled to vote in the primaries
this summer will lose no time in | -J
qualifying themselves for discharg-j i
ing the duty of good citizens.
An enrollment committee has; '<
been appointed for each club and! i
the enrollment book will be. found 1
in charge of these officers. Let every
voter see to it today that he is pro- i
perly enrolled.

TYPHOID AND HOGS. J
Typhoid fever has made its ap- j
pearance in several homes in Abbeville
this summer. It has been sev- ^
eral summers since there have been .
many cases of typhoid fever. In the ^
past there nave been isolated cases
where the cause could not be discovered
perhaps, but in most cases
? : in* the past the sickness could be directly
traced to hog pens.
For the reason that hog pens are
believed to be responsible for typhoid
fever, and because the best
physicians tell us that this is true,
we have advocated keeping hogs out
of Abbeville. There have been
irV*
.. those who were of a contrary opin:
' ion. ^ome men have run for membership
on the city council on their (
advocacy of hog-raising in the city.
Most of the members of the present <
city council are advocates of hogI
raising in the city we believe. Ac
cordingly they have made it possi-1
ble to engage in this industry in this11
city of Abbeville. Il is not the only i j
instance in which they have been un-! (
mindful of the best interests of the ;
people of the city of Abbeville andp
of the will of the people. In this j case
they may have their reward in,;
an epidemic of typhoid for which J,
they will be directly responsible.',
The needs brought about by the:war
furnished these councilmen an|:
y excuse for opening the city to this'
pestilence. Thev undertook to ex-'
cuse themselves for doing what they
I |
themselves doubted to be for the
1 best interests of the city by providk
ing an absurdity?that hog pens
should be kept sanitary.
And the council does not even
preterd to enforce the ordinances ofi
the town to this end. Oh Main
street, at the graded school at niji'ht,
you may catch a whiff from a hog
pen which stinks to heaven. Further
up the same street, npir the
city limits, a hog pen is kept, the
scent from which would make a
polecat sick. And there are others,
perhaps not so bad as these two,
and perhaps worse, we do not knowJc
But we do know that the city au- s
thorities are not forcing people in p
the very heart of the city to com- y
ply with even the moderate demands p
of the city council as to keeping v
hogs in large pens, and keeping t
these pens as clean as maybe. j a
It would be too much to hope we f
suppose, that the present city coun- s
cil would make the public stomach e
subordinate to the public health. *
They must have hogs. Because some s
of them were reared where there y
were many hogs and have never had r
fever they put up their judgment
against the experience of mankind ?
and the best thought of the medical I
profession. They know it all, hence n
they are unable to learn. An epi- n
demic of typhoid will not teach t
them, but it should teach the peo-F
pie of Abbeville that a clean city is
more important than a few hog /
pens. There is plenty of open country
where men may engage in hog-'
raising. It is profitable and may be
followed safely in the country ^
where people are not closely housed, a
but in a city the size of Abbeville
it is criminal to force a disease pro- p
flucer on the people. Only the peo- f
pie may get rid of this kind of legis- j,
lation by getting rid of councilmeh v
who favor such things. j ^

liately. ? That best shows his^ spirit
bout leaving."
John Cromer also had no comiunction
about leaving. "I sort of
eel it my duty to go and am will- ;
ng," he said. He lives in Abbe-j
ille county near here, is twenty-j
ive years old, and is the son of J. I
). Cromer. Like the others, he is;
farmer. Indeed, the next four
len were farmers and all expressed j
hemselves as willing to go. Robert;
lonroe is twenty-six years old and;
as passed his life with Mr. Z. V.
rill near Donalds. Reese McDonld
also lives near Donalds. Robert
Icoggins is twenty-eight ar d a farler
of Antreville. While Pleas
lutchinson, the only candidate!
porting a moustache, hailed from:
<ong Cane. He also is twenty-eight!
ears old.
Fletcher Medlock was a trifle re-!
!
erved and sedate in his comments.)
[e is older than the others, being
tiirty. He lives af" Ware Shoals,
rhere he farmed ud to the last two
ears. Since then he has combined;
arming and a blacksmith's trade in:
is repetoire. T. H. Medlock is his J
ather.
' As the train pulled out, we ram
p against Mr. W. E. Ellis of Lown-;
esville. His son, a young man of:
tiirty years, was leaving with the
thers. Ever since the death of Mrs
!llis, father and son had batched'^
jgether. Consequently, the parting
ras quite a sacrifice. As Mr. Ellis
ssured us^ however, "It had to be
one. We must all put up with ouri
ortion of the burden." j
I 1 T in* I In.
Among those going were several
oung men well known in Abbeville,
immie Cothran, son of Mr. W. S.
lothran, was bom in Abbeville I
iventy-three years ago and has lived
ere ever since. After going to
chool in various places, the Citadel,
lie University of Georgia, and othi's,
he spent a year in Central Amrica
as agent for the United Fruit
Icmpany. His last few days were
pent appropriately in Greenville,
here he said the romance of Sunet
Mountain under certain condiions
cannot be beaten.
Robert S. Owens, who used to
ractice law in Abbeville, was not
o be seen anywhere. Nor was Anrew
Jackson of Abbeville present,
i-.Q Viae hopri pvemDted from cro- j
tig for the time being.
Frank Sherard, however, was conpicuously
present. He was in comland
of the unit leaving. He was
orn twenty-nine years ago in the i
,ebanon section, the son of Dr.;
Valter Sherard. It is to be rem-j
mbered that he worked for a num-j
>er of years in Abbeville before go-!
ng into business at Calhoun Falls. |
Red Cross Packages. h
Rev. J. L. Daniel delivered a,
hort farewell address to the men j
caving, after they had arrived at'
he Southern depot. Before leaving!
he Red Cross ladies gave packages'
c. each of the men, as they express
".1 it, "more substantial gifts."
