The Board of Health of Andersou County Bhould take in charge certain conditions which are allowed to pass unnoticed and which may prove a very serious affair if they are not in some way abated. We refer specifically to a condition right here in Anderson, right under our noses so to speak, which came near culminating in a very horri fying spectacle last Tuesday after noon. By heroic efforts the danger was so confined that nothing more seri ous than a fit resulted. A shoe custo mer of Messrs. Dean & Ratlifife having Sotten a satisfactory fit was so nstouu ed when he learned the beautiful cheapness of it that he actually fell in to an epileptic fit, but soon recovered. The trouble of which complaint is made is that such shoe fits should be made to be borne by all the people so that it will not fall so heavily upon the few as to superinduce other fits. The new nd. of Messrs. Dean & Ratlifl'o in another column tells all about it and thev refer doubting Thomases to Mr. A. 13. Dean, of Deans, S.
