Entered a, thepostomce at Manning aN Sec ond .'aps iaster. We have recently read a most interesting letter on the subject of government, and treating with our tax problem, from the pen of Mr. A. J. Mattheson, of Ben nettsville. and what this gentle man says, should have the effect of arousing the masses to do some thinking along the lines suggested by him. Mr. Matthe son is no politician, and we sin ceily doubt if he could be in duced to accept any office within the gift of the people. but at the same time, he is a thorough going and successful business man, and he is capable of giving the masses good advice. He sug gests that a taxpayers' conven tion be held for the purpose of devising some way to rid the State of its unbusinesslike meth ods of conducting its affairs. and what he so well says is known to all who keep in touch with affairs of the government. Would that South Carolina could have in her State and county governments such men as the gentlemen from Bennettsville: the great trouble is, such men are so busy with their private interests, they could not be induced to take up the reins of government, yet they see its defects and, should give their services. Saver sns. Mor The Manin Times: As it has been quite a while since anything appeared in your columns from this section, 1 will attempt to give you a few hap penigs. This being the season for school closings, we can add -our ouota to the list. On Thursday evening at 8:30 the friends and patrons of the Panola school were delightfully entertained with the closing ex ercises of the most prosperous year in the history okthe~ school, with the following'program: d Welomae, by Dwight >enkzmoo. 2. Mother Goose's Goslings~by twelve itle boys and girls. 3. Dixie, by three little boys. 4. Too Much of a Good Thing, a p~lay. -5. The Pineville Baby Show, by twelve littleo girls. 6. A Little Lecture, by James Rich 7.. A duet-"Ben Hur Chariot Race." 8. Wiliie's Breeches. by Will Way. 9. "Old Black~ Joe," by family group in costume. 10. A play-"Akin Her Fader.' 1L "Go Night," by Mary Davis. Just before the last number Mr. W. R. Davis, in behalf of the trustees, thanked the pat rons for their generous support and cooperation in helping to make the school what it is, and informed them of the election of the same faculty for another sea son, and in the same happy strain thanked and complimented the teachers for the very impor tant part they. too, had in thie success of the school, and as sured them of the lasting im pression they had created upon the minds and hearts of the peo pe. He called upon the stage Misses Annie Phosia Ross, Lilla Mathis and Masters James and Briggs Ross and informed them that they had been the success ful winners of the prizes offered by the teachers for the different kinds of school work and refer red to what should be their feel ings in outstripping their class mates. and that the world today was demanding just such men and women. whose whole ambi tion was to be at the top, and advised them to take this as their motto. Prof. Ed Andrews left Satur day for his home at Oswego, where he will spend a few days with his parents, leaving then for the up-country, where he expects to work during vacation. Miss Friday left for her home in Newberry, where she expects to take up the assistant manage ment of the parsonage under her mother. with a prospect of pro motion. Mr. Dave Ross led off with the first June bride. who was a Miss Turner of Sumter county. More to follow. Railroad contractors are tilling in Sammy Swamp trestle. Mr. Tom Wilson, president of the N. W. Railroad, has. from appearances, been seized with a very sudden enlargement of the heart. Besides having these trestles filled. he is having builtj at Silver a very handsome de pot in place of the one burned. and, from reports, expects to put on a full pass'enger train, about September 1. Mr. A. L. Lesesne has just completed his sixth artesian well in Sammy Swamp. about 300 yards from his yard at his Splace near Silver. The colored population was very much stirred up over the' supposed sw(ep of the comet's tail of the ear-th. Mr. J. E. Kelly passed through this section Saturday on his trip' of inspection, and while he did not commit himself, lie is con ,-nce that the boys from this section wiml make the others si up and take notice. Crops, generally speaking. at behind from last season of s=n aate. but all fairly well worke up. as the season has been ver tine for working. We are up with the fashiont ble world so far as the auttom< bile craze goes. Mr. R. C. Rich ardson has recently bought touring car. Mrs. K. D. Brigg expects to follow. Last Thursday morning Alic Davis. colored, who has bee living on the place of Mir. W. E Davis, was found dead in bed Heart trouble is supposed to b the cause of her death. Mr. R. L.

Th :rops in Salem are poor for the time ( year, on account of the cold and dr weather, they are very backward indee bowever. with the better seasons th week things are more encouragin; General Green is putting in appearanc and the prospect is that the farmers wi have to measure swords with him at lively gait if they hope to get out of ti mankers. We want to look on the brigi ide, and hope for a good harvest. Som f the bankers and merchants are ge aing uneasy, but I think they need n< be alarmed as the old farmer is the bacl bone of the world and has held togethe so long and prospered I don't think ther is any reason to fear now. It has bee lemonstrated time and again that if th farmer meets with reverses and canni pay one time he will another, therefor be is safe. I attended the birthday dinner give in honor of Miss ReatherGowdy. daugl er of our friend. D. H. Gowdy, on th Sth. It was a very enjoyable atlai When we arrived we were greeted wit music and song by the young people the community who had evidently go ten up early to beat us to the feast, bi we got there all the same in our aute mobile, although the roads were vet rough. Shortly after our arrival tI neighbors camne with their baskets an boxes filled up and running over, an ipparently groaning under the burdet d they contained. Just at noon dinnE was annouuced, and Miss Reather w: requeszted to no and escort her best fe o0w to the table, and to our surprise sb picked out the worst looking old gra beaded fellow on the place and marche bim to the table. Well I thought th >ld chap ought to feel honored, tkt roung men looked sad, while the ladli miled. I. was a splendid feast, and tI way the dishes did rattle, and the goc things consumed was a caution. thought a doctor would have to be sun noned before the party broke up, bi aot so, and I cannot account for it on: in one way, that. is the excelient cool ig of the edibles. Mr. Editor, I thin we Salemites have as good cooks as ca be found anywhere, and I am satia roo will testify to this. After dinner tt oung folks went out and took seats the vehicles, and from the racket the made they surely enjoyed themselve The old folks looked on, and discussa various topics, farming, politics and a manner of things of interest to then Appelt and Davis for the Senate wa freely discussed. Well, I could say wI this party nominated if left to them bi know if I do. we will be pestered wit the weakest candidate over here in few days trying to strengthen his sid' and as we have not two strange men ot for Senate, we will try and be satistie when the primary decides the matte Salem is posted as to the merits of mel and the voters here vote as in the udment they think right. Well Mr. Editor, it is about time f< this section to be alive w.ith candidata to soft soap, and palaver the people wit fair promises, but we Salemnites are ge ing very tired of this kind of busines I wonder when our Supervisor will t ver, when he comes to ask for votes suppose be will asic for votes alright wit a smile on his face, and I think when t meets a friend or friends he will has to turn his head to one side to let hii pass. We thought when we got a Salei moan for Supervisor this section wouil receive her just proportion of the bet. fits-of the county, but not so. Just thin the county has had a chain gang for rears, andl Salem being about one-:air "f the county, has only ha.d the benef f that chain gang about five month most of our roads have grown upi bushes, bridges are dangerous to pa: ver, the public roads that the peop worked hard to cut through lar: waps with the promise of causewa: and bridges at least eight years ag that are still not causewayed, or bridge we are gettingr awfully impatient at tht sort of thing, the soft soaping and fa: promises, we must have results. TI blame is not all on Mr. Mc. but u do think he could have doce more for than he has done, and we are now hea ing groans from the polhtical camp sa; ing we must have some changesi in thi ottice. Mr. Editor, I reckon I had better st< before .I insult someone. or hurt somn boy' feelings.FA ER Turbeville. S. C.. May 30th, 191l0.

W. COCHRANS. The Cre of The Drinking Water Supply. S Clemson Extension Work.-Article IX. r 1 Health isof first importance in all oc c cupations, since it governs the ability of the individual to do work. The progres stveness of a community is governed by e its healthfulness, and this healthfulness is measuted largely. directly or indi e rectly, by the purity of its drinking wa ter. Almost our entire rural population and the inhabitants of a majority of our small towns get their supply of d rinking water from springs or from shallow e wells. It is to call attention to the often 1 improper surroundings of these sources e of drinking water that this article is e written. The principal disease suvposed to be communicable through the drinking t-water are typhoid fever, cholora, dysen terv and other diarrhoea; affections, cholera infantum, animal parasitic dis eases, enteric fevers and scarlet fever. Of the diseases mentioned typhoid fever, cholera, dysentery, cholera infantum Sand scarlet fever may also be carried by Imilk: enteric fever and typhoid by flies: and thphoid by raw oysters and raw ~fruit. In order that the water supply! dor any of the other agencies mentioned may caarv these diseases it. is first nec-; d essary fo- them to become infected with Sthe specific infection which commnuni cates the disease. The infection of all of the sources mentioned except mos - oumites. isderived from the ejecta of a e patient suffering from the disease. -It is a fact proven by statistics that the water borne diseases begin to in-' e crease in July and are at their maxi e mum during August and September. * decreasing in October. eTH d TESPRING. I The ideal cond itions for the spring are - that its watershed is uninhabited, that t the watershed does not contain stables. ybarnyards, pig pens. privies. cesspools -or cemeteries: and it should not be trarv k ersed by railroads nor highways for axll n of these make infection possible. The! d spring should be ditched around iu such e Ia way as to carry o:Y all of the surface n water, both during a downpour of rain y Iand from pounded areas.. and never al i.lw obe overflowed and tilled or lotas on kind. The surroundings !ll must be scriupulously clean. Tbe spring i. itself should be walled with rock and 0 into it. it THE WELL. a' Too many of our wells are located in the barnyard, in order that water may tbe convenient for the stock, regardless tof sanitary conditions. The source of the drinking 'water for the family should be located on a well drained area, remote f--om barns, pig pens, privies, cesspools, cemeteries or drains, and should be ce mented from the edge outward to the Sdistance of several feet. Above the sur-1 face of this cement, a tight box should *be built and a tight fitting cover pro vided if buckets are used. The pump is much to be preferred to the bucket be cause it lessens the danger of trash fall h ing into the well. All waste water should be drained oil and no -vater al e lowed to spill back into the w d. No e puadles should be allowed to form near hv b in which hogs might wallow. The hog is a great gatherer of filth, and by wallowing in a puddle which drains into a well, there is great danger of infec-' 0tiOD. dDeep wells, properly protected to pre vent an inflow of surface water at the! top, are to be preferred to either shal low wells or springs, especially in the nsouthern part of this State. a ~T.
