MARCH 26,1909. AVOID BENZOATE OF SSDA. I Recently much has been said and written about the use of benzoate of soda as a preservative of food. Many learned experts ha\e declared that it is injurious to the human system, while others maintain that it is harmless. But whether injurious ! or not, the fact is established that the use of benzoate of soda as a food preservative is unnecessary except in cases where it is sought to preserve impure, decaying materials that should not be taken into the human system. Under the pure food and drugs act passed by Congress in 1906, as a result of the unhealthy, filthy conditions revealed by the federal investiga- | tion of certain canneries, packing houses and other food manufacturing plants, it is required that when benzoate of soda is used in any food pioJuct the label must indicate its presence. But the manufacturers of goods containing benzoate of soda are an ingenious set, so in apprising the public that the drug is pres- ! ent in their products very smajl, obscure type is used. They know that drugs are not food and that the intelligent citizen does not care to drug himself or his family according to the prescription of manufacturers who are spt lin tn supply the public with foods. Benzoate of soda may or may not be injurious to health ?that is a mooted question ?but it is certain that its use is never re- i sorted to in factories which do not permit unsanitary practices. ; One can always, however, avoid the drug and the more or less unwholsome character of foods in which it is used as a preservative by examining all food labels carefully. MR. SWEARINOEN AQAINST IT. | ' The Times is pleased to know j that its views in opposition to a compulsory education law for1 South Carolina arc shared by the j distinguished State superintend- j ent of education, Mr. J. E. | Swearingen. This is a matter i which Mr. Swearingen evidently ' has given much intelligent thought, for he discusses the proposition in a way that leads one to believe he has given it1 due consideration. The day may / ?mA whAn />nmnnlcnrv r>r?ni^Qtinr> will be a good thing for this; State, but that day is so far in the future that it seems misdi- j rected effort to urge it at this time. It is a matter which the' people are entitled to pass upon before it is adopted as a policy of the Commonwealth, for it undoubtedly will mean increased * taxation for the white citizenship of the State with whatever benefits are to be derived therefrom going to the negro children in greater proportion than to the i sons and daughters of those who will bear the burden of making the law effective. South Carolina is the last State in the i Union, with the possible exception of Mississippi, which should ; consent to the passage of such a law, for with our overwhelming preponderance of negroes it is not problematical as to what the result will be if the law is impartially enforced, and if it is not the purpose of the advocates of compulsory education to make < the law apply alike to white and colored children-and some of the adfroetaes, at 'east, so ad wtimffib such law should be h ifllft Pit' the statute books. No oSBttne opinion is worth consifoing Argues that our educa-! tidMg^kilities are what they sh<^H^Abut surely the people o<f ?fe^.i*ite are resourceful enol^^Hftdevise some way to educ^^^^Bwhite boys and girls ? withBp"iaM|ngering the welfare; of tU^^^nnonwealth and im- i posingH^Hhem selves financial burdeyMapjfch they cannot in. reason iNH^kected to assume. But wajHBd out to quote' from tn^^^wiew of the'Statu ^uperinuMp^f education, who! said, one or two t*. ?*?? phases of the matter: ' 'What is the sense of enacting a general compulsory education law in this State when there is no way that can be worked out now of providing the proper schools for the children after you make provision for compelling them to attend school? The school statistics of the State show that in some of the counties the average school term is eleven to twelve weeks, in spite of the fact that there are plenty of children of school age to attend. Some districts in the State are financially and otherwise ready for such a system, but others are not, and it would be e i:_u j._ f - i ? luuusii uu lorce me system on those sections not ready, and which do not want it. *'I certainly do not advocate a compulsory system for any class. It has been argued that compulsory education should be provided lor the mill people to the exclusion of other classes of people. I think such a law would be a discrimination that would not only be unjust, but very unwise. The mill managements woulu oopose it and the consequent friction brought about would result in more harm than good. The only real dilference there is in this State between mill people and people who live on the farms is that the former live together and the latter separated. For practically all the mill operatives in this State come from the farms." TRUST TARIFF REVISION. The Republican majority in Congress started out with the deliberate purpse of deceiving the people in regard to revising the tariff. Instead of lowering the various schedules as per their ante-election promises, it is now apparent that the revision generally will be upward in the interest * 1 4. 1- - * ui uic irusts ana cor]>orations and that the great mass of the people are not to be benefited even infinitesimally by the legislation. Little wonder, therefore, that the Democratic members of the ways and means committee of Congress in submitting the minority report on the Payne bill arraigned it as "crude, indefinite, sectional and prohibitive" and assert that it will increase the cost of living. "The treatment of the farmer by this bill is along the same lines as have characterized the Republican methods in the past," says the report. "He gets practically no relief, and the laborer and producer have greater burdens imposed upon them. Every article of food the laborer must have to live comfortably is heavily taxed; even the salt on his table is not exempt. 'That the bill is a sectional one is shown by the failure of the majority of the committee to lift any burden whatever from the shoulders of the Southern farmer. The grower of cotton must sell his product in the open marxeps ot the world. In order, however, to benefit the manufacturer of cotton, the Republican party makes him pay a heavy tax on every pound of it that is exported and comes back into the United States in the shape of manufactured goods. Thus he sells in free trade markets and buys in a protected market. Not only have these burdens not been lifted but additional ones have been placed upon him. "Cotton hose has fallen under their greedy gaze and the tax on it, already too high, has been greatly increased. Cotton goods are more generally used than any other class of goods by the masses of the American people and every cent of duty laid on such fabrics is an additional tax on the people least able to pay it." It is a matter for regret that Fort Mill, the one town in the fair Southland which possesses a monument to the faithful women of the Confederacy, has not yet made a donation to the general fund for the proposed Confederate ladies' monument being raised throughout the State. We cannot believe that our people will let the opportunity pass to further honor the women who endured so much suffering that their husbands and sons might proclaim themselves victors in the contest between the States. Contributions to the fund should be forwarded to The State, Columbia, S. C. The Times is of the opinion that Fort Mill's one and only chance for cement pavements and macadam streets is a tax levy sufficient to pay for such improvements. The Times' sentiment in the matter is too well known to be stated. The bent known pills and tho bent pills mado aro DuWitt's Littlo lurly Kisora.

The board announced no conclusion as to what it would do. I, Sharon is to have a national j' bank soon. Our information is 11 that the proposed bank is to or- |A i ganize with $25,000 capital, about j I half of which is to be furnished . 1 by loeal people. The question of j organizing a bank has been un- * der considertion quite a while; j ^ but the understanding now is ( that everything has been prae- j ] tically settled except the paying ' in of the capital stock. A brick ' building is to be erected for the | J home of the proposed bank. The largest real estate deal ( that has taken place in York < county since the war, was consummated last Tuesday, when 1' Mr. J. C. VVilborn, the well * ; known real estate man of York- ( ville, sold theS. M. Jones?Brown 1 i plantation* to Mr. A. E. Willis of 5 Lynchburg. Va. The plantation 1 involved in the deal includes something over 1.000 acres, lo- ' cated pretty nearly half vvav be- ' tween Yorkville and Rock Hill, ' and although the purchase price i has not been made public, it is ! understood that the consideration ! was close in the neighborhood of $30,000. (Rook Ilill Herald ) President D. B. Johnson left ' the city early Thursday morning ; for Spartanburg to attend a ' meeting of the North and South Carolina Association of Colleges I for Women, of which Dr. John- , son is the president. Through J. Edgar Poag, bro- \ ker. Dr. W. CI. Stevens has , sold his handsome home on . Oakland avenue to Mr. A. E. ( Willis, a big land owner and capi- | talist of Lynchburg, Va.

Nothing was said about. the weight or dimensions of the ! fish, but the fact that it made 1 a square meal for two families { < and lunch for the school children ( ) is enough said. i Hydrophobia in York County. ? } (Yorkville Enquirer ) There is an epidemic of hydro- ' I 1 l_ _ J . * i ? " puuuia aown tnc lineoi tnet.'aro- J lina and North-Western railroad, ; extending from the southern 1 part of York township, through ( Bethesda and on to and beyond 1 Lowryville, and many people 1 I down that way are very much s ! concerned about it. The first intimation of the 1 I situation came to the Enquirer 1 ' several days ago; but no definite A information could be obtained 1 until yesterday, when at the request of the reporter, Mr. A. H. Jackson, who lives in the territory referred to gave some of the facts in detail. j I As to the origin of the epidemic, j Mr. Jackson could not say; but j i existence of hydrophobia had \ been known for several weeks. < A large collie belonging to Rev. j J. K. Hall, ran amuck and bit { : several other dogs and a number i j of other animals, including two < calves and a pig, belonging to \ j Mr. J. P. Moore. The clog was ] killed near Lowryville.

A small pug dog | followed some children to Olive school and began acting sus- 1 piciously.

Mr. Barnes Glover is ;ery sick at this writing. We still see some signs of im-! irovement. The good people of Flint Ilill met at the new church j he other day and made some 1 /ery decided improvements in cleaning off the grounds in slanting trees and flowers. To , inyone passing that way it would seem that the work had been aid off by someone with good ;aste. I said the good people because all of us did not help, and | >nly good people do such work. Let the work continue until it is inished. It speaks well for any community to have well-kept ihurches, school houses and good j roads. We will look for the' sood roads later on, when our new road law is properly enforced. If we all get out and j spend some time in tilling up the j holes and cleaning out the ditches we will have good roads until next winter. Let us get the road machinery in motion and i k. ep it going until our roads will be second to none in the country. We have one progressive farmer in our county in the person of James R. Miller, who has made) a decided improvement in his farm the present winter and j spring by terracing and otherwise tilling in the low places and doing some very tine plowing. To anyone passing that way it looks like Mr. Miller knows something of civil engineering er else he had had a civil engineer employed to lay off some of the work. We love to see this kind work. It sets a good example to others. Improvements of this kind act like contageous diseases, they are catching lrom one to 1 mother. If the farmers don't get some uwiiIKIK ? OUUll UllI LMIU'II acreage will regulate itself. But maybe il* we don't make su much ;he pi ice will be belter, and so t is best for us at last. Let us nope so at least. Z. T. B. Death at 109 Years. [Charlotte Observer.) Steel Creek residents are regretting the death of Aunt Lila Mitchell, a well-known old color- , 2d woman, whose passing oc- : iurred Sunday, her age being j <aid to be 109 years. She died it the home of her son, William Mitchell, in that township. She ^vas known by everybody, and ; ner death removes a landmark, i I lor memory was active and she1 recalled easily things of the long igo. One of the occurrences which made a vivid impression )n her mind was the notable fall if stars in 18.13. when her race > hougnt the judgement day had surely come?but the old woman ived 7G years after that and irobably at the close of her career she had ceased to expect to witness the dissolution of the material creation.

Lena Murray in Wuxhaw iN. C.) Entorprlw The Raleigh News ami Observer of last wi ok in giving an account of the centennial celebration of the founding of Hezibah Uuptist church, near Eagle Rock, says: "One hundred years is a j king time, and when a church reaches 1 J.ho centennial of its beginning it is a f!t time for exercises that will be commemorative of so long a life, about which so many hallowed memories cluster." Okl Wuxhaw Presbyterian church in the upper edge of Lancaster county, j C., and about 12 miles southwest from here passed her centennial many ' years ago, and Is now, as will ho shown ; fr?mi dates below. 15s years old. ! ' its entire history could be revived it would i be full of ititen st not only to Its mem- | brrs, not only to Presbyterians, hut to a large number of other people in tills and Lancaster counties. Old Wuxhmv Presbyterian church was during Its early history the leading church In all this section of country and was the only church for many miles around, but in late years the at- , tendance and membership have dc- ! creased owing to the fact that other churches were organized and built | near by. In the 158 years of its existence three church buildings have served its generation. The tlrst church built was burned by the British soldiers, the second was destroyed by tire before completed and the one built In Its place stool until it rotted almost down. The third and hist church was built ubout 20 years ago. Beside the church there is a cemetery supposed to be about 28 years older than the church, and Is perhaps the 1 irgest cemetery In this part of the country. This cemetery contains the : mortal remains of Andrew Jackson. Sr., father of Andrew Jackson, the seventh president of the United States, which I were buried there in 1767. Tradition says that his body was taken to the ' cemetery on a sled. After his father's j death but in the same year President Andrew Jackson was horn. The fol- j lowing bit of history was given to us ! by Mr. C. C. Mcllwaln of Marvin: "A man named Miller once owned the land where Old Waxhaw Prcsby- j terlan church and cemetery now stand. ' He. with others, built the tlrst church : and was ordained a minister and ' peached there. He sold his land, but ' gave six acres for a church and cente- j tery. The deed is recorded at Wadesboro. N. C. There was once an acad- ' r.;y at W-ixhaw Presbyterian church. Messrs. Humphries and Stevenson taught in this academy and young Jackson was a pupil. "Waxhaw church was used for a hospital after the battle at that place ! between MnJ. Co:Tin <>f the British army t and the Americans Idohert and Andrew j Jackson wore In that battle. Andrew whs 14 years of nge. Robert received ! a wc "n:d that proved fatal. Andrew ' re vived a sabre wound front a British o(Th er whom he never forgave, and the : blood of (den. Packlngliam and 1.200 1 British soldiers at New Orleans did not ; qu< neh Jackson's thirst for revenge." From Howe's history we learn that ; e first grave made in the temetery at . Waxhaw Presbyterian church was in 1 17 _s. There are several graves of Brit- i Mi soldiers In this cemetery. The remains of William Richard Davie, the 1 tenth governor of North Carolina under ! the constitution of 1776, arc also buried litre. lie was elected Brovernne l?, i ~?i i and was afterwards an ambassador to Franco. Ho dlod iit 182<\ From an address delivered to the Synod of South Carolina by Dr. Thornv . 11 about 11 years ago at Lancaster, wo quote the following: "About eight inib s from here Is the historic Wax haw Presbyterian church, . tbo mother of ns all, whose history can ho traced back to time whereof the | niorv of ma runneth not t?> the con trnry. and win <* origin is lost in an- j ti'inity.

The following from The State of Monday will be of interest to 1 members of the local military organization: The Columbia Chamber of Com- j merce will invite through Adjutant General Boyd one or two of j the South Carolina infantry regiments to Columbia for 10 days of encampment this summer. It is practically certain 1 that the three regiments will be ! sent on encampment this year, although the funds are not very large and it will be necessary to practice some economy. The Second regiment, under j Col. Henry T. Thompson of this city, will probably go to the coast some time during the latter part of .Tune. They will there camp with the regulars of Fort Moultrie and practice coast defense work and the ordinary field manoeuvers. The Third regiment, with headquarters in Charleston, may be sent outside of its territory, ! as may be the case with the First regiment, in the upper J part of the State. However, efforts are being made by a number of cities throughout the State to secure vnv?v n>;iiii<;iao, niiiuii^; LdtMli befog Aiken, Greenville and Spartanburg:. President Julius H. Walker of the Chamber of Commerce said Saturday that he would take up the matter at once with the militia authorities and use the efTorts of the organization to bring one if not both of the other regiments here.
