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

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 first intimation of the 1

until yesterday, when at the request
of the reporter, Mr. A. H.

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

Flint Hill".
Flint Hill, March 22?We still :
lave some sick folks in our comliunity.
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,

Death at 109 Years.

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.

Old Waxhaw Church.
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<\

Military Encampment This Summer.
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.
