Bristow to the members of j r the Local Board of Health has beep | f handed to this paper, ana we giaaiy; j. publish it, in order that the public may have the fafcts which it contains,' " and in order that the public may be P thinking about these matters, and it-; self reaching a conclusion about them: February 6, 1920. To the Honorable Board of Health 3 of the City of Abbeville. . r Gentlemen:? 8' The right to petition is always j open to the humblest citizen. I beg, 0 therefore ,to protest against your reY cent order closing the churches in this city ,and petition you to remove the prohibition of persons assembling for the purpose of worshipping n God. , ! Your official proclamation closes Q/'churches, schools, moving picture 'theatres", and no other places, and forbids "public meetings of any K.1I1U* J.I1US tJVeil IW KJ pClOUU3 not meet in a church for prayer, with open doors. This, I submit, is discriminatory, unnecessary, unwise . and un-American.' I beg to subimt to you reasons upon which I feel you will be justified ^ in revoking your order. I First, I direct your attention to the fact that, since your order has been i effective, I have seen as many as '' twelve persons assembled in a bank; ~ fourteen in a hotel lobby; a large * number in a barbershop; and a crowd of fifteen or twenty negroes around a stove in a store on Church ,street; and I have baen informed of r large numbers of persons congre K gating in restaurants and places of * amusement; to say nothing of the number of clerks, porters and cust tomers that may be seen in stores at - almost any hour of the day, the number of persons in textile and other industrial plants. Now, I submit that no bank, barbershop, hotel lobby, or| store in Abbeville is more sanitary,! c or better ventilated, or affords more r cubic feet of air to the person than j - any one of a number of houses of > . worship in this city. The order, there/ I r fore, is discriminatory. t I submit the suggestion of the in effectuality of the quarantine, with ir utmost respect for the scientific 1 knowledge of the members of the , Board. I am moved to offer this sug> gestion because of the decided lack i of agreement among physicians in * the matter of quarantine in an influ1 snza epidemic; because of the nc1 knowlfirlfrorl InrV nf iiif.ivmnUiin r to the bacillus of infection and its s transmission; and the paucity of s authoritative data relative to the efs fec-tiveness of similar quararttines. | b I submit the anomalous and legally questionable spectacle of an AmeriI I " II A Word l!

I am neithe ignorant nor unmindful of the extn ordinary-broad police powers gran ed a Board of Health. But I submi that such'a prohibition as your orcle imposes is unwarranted and ui American. Knowing the high Christian cha acter of the individual members of tl Board of Health, I feel that you wi pardon me for suggesting the lack ( propriety in a policy which forbi< Christians to assemble for prayer i time of widespread anxiety and su fcring. May I be permitted to add that uniformly counsel members of m congregation ana an oxners arways 1 observe existing law, and especial] the order in question so long as it r mains, both in spirit and letter; an j I myself shall do so in good faith. I have respect for your fidelity 1 j tc the public interest, and am convii I ced that you will accord this con munication the consideration it d< serves ,and pray that it may have th influence it merits. Respectfully, Louis J. Bristow. STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA rn..nf? vvwuhj ui nuucTiaiC) Probate Court.
