Board of Health.
FAKE CURES SHOWN UP
N? Vital Statistic** Have Been Kept.
But the Records Show What Ha*
Been Done, and Hlstorj of the
Hulnu TVoa man # a?<^ Ma??am^
moot are Given.
A most interesting bulletin issued
by the State board of health ra'ers to
tuberculosis n9 "the captain of the
men of death." Tho bulletin gives
ruch information as to the "great
white plague* and shows that it is a
preventabl" disease.
No vital statistics were kept In
South Carolina until last year 3n<
from these statistics the following 's
stated concerning tho ravages of the
disease:
"Though approximating tho number
from the statistics collected during
this period, it is safe to say til it
the mortality from this disease alone
Is 1,500 or more each year. This
not only means that we are losing
that many of our inhabitants, but
these 1,500 and many others who
now have the disease have and are
giving ofT the deadly germs which
will infect thousands of others. It
is an appalling situation."
"Avoid as far as possible any contact
with the germs of the disease
"So live at all times that your nat
ural powers of resistance will be continually
at top-notch strength."
These two rules are given -In the
bulletin and the chief factors of protection
against infection.
"The germ of consumption," con
tinues the bulletin, "'known as ttu
tubercle bacillus, was discovered am
proved to be the cause of the diseast
by Robert Koch of Germany in tb?
year 1X82.
"It is an extreme minute plant
cell, or spore, invisible to the naked
eve. so light that In the dry state It
may float with every breeze and
thrown 20 feet from a consumptive In
the moist state enormous numbers ol
these germs may live In cuspidors, In
the fresh spittle on the pavement, in
the Invisible film of saliva left on the
edge of a glass or cup after its use
by a consumptive; the germs may be
throfn 20 feet from a consumptive in
the act of coughing or sneezing?
several feet by the effort of ordinary
conversation -they are left in some
degree on everything which touches
the consumptive's mouth or lips.
"Tuberculosis is an Insidious
sneaking foe. There is reason to believe
that the germs may enter the
body and lie there dormant for years
until some depressing inlluence, such
as fatigue, cold, exposure, wetting or
excesses with tobacco or alcohol
gives the crouching foe a chance for
the fatal spring and symptoms of the
disease appear in their ghastly sequence
of cough, hemorrhage, fever,
sweats, emaciation, diarrhoea and
death.
"Over $lf?,000,000 annually If
poured Into the coffers of those who
exploit and advertise fake tubercu
losls corns, according to a statement
issued by the National Association
for tho Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis:
and for this vast sum the
victims receive nothing in return,
but are often permanently injured
and in the majority of cases cheated
out of tho chauce for a real cure.
Worse Ht111, most of this money is
paid by those who can lenBt afford it.
Tho following advice is given to
the healthy:
"Don't be afraid of a consumptive
if he observes the rules laid down in
this pamphlet.
"Don't hesitate to tell a consumptive
that it is his duty to protect hia
fellowman.
Don't, under any circumstances,
sleep with a consumptive.
"Don't occupy a house where a
consumptive lias lived, without first
having the house properly disinfected.
When a house is properly dism
fectod it is no longer dangerous.
"Don't spit on floors or sidewalks
Set the consumptive a good example.
When you spit, spit into the gutters
or into a spittoon.
Don't stay in a room with the
windows closed. Keep them open
filtmnuir on-1 -1 *
v. (iuu MMinT. ai nome and at
work. Sloop with fho windows open,
hut be suro that the entire body is
warmly clad.
"Don't be afraid of night air
Fresh air, hi other night or day.
moist or dry, warm or cold, is good
for you.
i, "Don't drink milk from cows not
tuberculin tested without boiling it.
for the disease is often contracted in
this way.
"Don't ever stir up a dust by dry
sweeping. Sprinkle water or moist
sawdust, or moist bits of pnper over
the floor before sweeping. Dusting
should be done with a moist cloth.
f'Don't ever neglect a cold or
cough, and be especially careful to
protect yourself from consumption
when convalescing from grippe and
pneumonia, and when in a run-down
condition from any cause."

more indictments will be returned.
Of those arraigned Tuesday 70

The usual finbs and disfranchisements
were imposed on those con
fessing teir guilt.
.Fully one-half of those who have
been before the court seem to favot
the investigation and openly declare
it ie proper.
Because he had made a mistake in
telling the court Monday how much
he received for selling his vote, Sam
Howell, aged 84 a veteran of the
War of Secession, Tuesday walked
18 miles through the cold to correct
his error and to tell Judge Hlair that
he had figured up and instead of
having received $11 as the purchase
price, he h^d been given $15. Howell
was fined $f> and costs and disfranchised.
Frank Salisbury, who lives In
Franklin township, was arrested for

accepted $5 for her son's franchise.
' Roth mother and son were indicted,
hut ne'ther has been arrested.
A farmer in Jacksonville precinct
Wednesday surprised the jury by his
confession that he was bought three
times last election day. For his
promise to vote the straight Republican
ticket, he said, he received
$12.50; on a contract to vote the
. straight Democratic ticket he was
paid $10, and the price for agreeing
to vote for a certain Democratic candidate
w as $.'!.
He pleaded guilty when arraigned
, and was disfranchised for five years,
fined $5 and costs, and given six
months in the work house, with the
, prison sentence suspended. One hundred
and six indictments were returned,
which brings the totnl up to
, 998.
There are indications that the
number will reach 1.500 as predicted
by special Prosecutor W. R. Stephenson:

Hi
But is Shot.
At Nantucket, Mass., a fisherman
brought ashore a huge codfish. While
dressing his llsh a hunter stopped to
eat. The big cod caught his ?v?
and the fisherman opened it. There
was a commotion within, and to the
astonishment of the onlookers out
fluttered a full-sized "shoal duck."
Apparently dazed the duck hovered
overhead a second or two nreparatory
to starting on its flight but it
was a fatal hesitation, for the gunner
promptly threw his double-barrel
to his shoulder and fired, killing
the bird. On seeing the fisherman approach
the bird dived and had been
swallowed whole by the codfish,
which a moment after was caught.
Enough air passed through the gills
of the fish to permit tbe duck tn
breathe
Killed in Row.

MOItK MVKM TJI \\ GOOD.
To tlie Community in Which They
May He Lomtcil.
We clip tho following from the
Dorchester Kagle:
"Dr. F. P. Love of Asheville. N. C.,
has purchased the Shieder tract of
700 acres near drover and is spending
much time and money to make it
a game reserve. lie planted a quantity
of corn, peas, etc., and is now
planting oats, his purpose being to
feed the birds, deer. etc. He has a
trespass notice in this issue and he
state? that >tock must keep off or the
owners will suffer the consequences.
It is stated that a number of deer
ha\o already taken up on the reserve
nnd a large number of turkeys
are there also. This project will be
a great benefit to the community after
it is well under way. Dr. Love
won't allow any of the corn or other
grain grown on the place to he harvested,
leaving it there in its entirety
for game to feed upon, and he should
have the cooperation of his neighbors
in preserving the game for future
sport. '
Why Dr. Love's neighbors should
cooperate with him in building up a
game preserve, on which they, as
well as their stock, are forbidden to
put foot, is somewhat of a mystery
to us. With the abundance of food
that Dr. I.ove is providing in iiis pro
serve for game, it is very likely that
most of the -ranie in the vicinity of
his preserve will he corrahd on it.
and. as his neighbors are forbidden
to go on his preserve, they will have
no game to hunt. Under these cli
eumstanecs, we must confess that we
can't see why the people living in ti e
vicinity of Dr. Love's preserve should
go enthusiastic for its establishment
at all. Possibly the Kagle can tell nwhy
"he should have the cooperation
of his neighbors in preserving the
game for the future sport" of himself
and his friends, in which said
neighbors will have no part, and
how "this project will be a great benefit
to the com in un it.\ after it is well
under way," but we can't see it in
that light. As we see it. these preserves
will be a positive barm to the
community in which they are located
We are glad that Orangeburg county
lands are too valuable to make game
preserves out of.
