What is tiie matter we do not see

\OTF Ft»R SEWERAGE.
We wish to call attention to the
notire c f an ele.tion to be held for
He purpose of determining whether
r rot we shell have a sewerage sys
tem Jor Walterboro. It is to he
hoped that each and every voter in
this town shall.-show a lively Inter
est in this aff^ber which is of great
est importance to the puv.lc health
and business interest of the town.
We do not see Just how any one
can see a reason for voting aganlst
this measure which means more
than any other movement for the
I rosperity pf the town. A good sew
erage system will mean an Improve
ment ip health and elimination of
the pestiferous fly. Nothing so
tu
town as the fact that its inhabitants
are continually snff^ring from some
ili'iess or from the fear of It. Noth
tng ca n give the town a blacker
Tnark than to be known as a place
of unhealthfulness. There Is no rea
son why this should be the case.
Tberd is no- reason why the health
of Walterboro should not be as good
as that of any town In South t'aro-
lina. Many people have the erro
neous idea that disease travels
through the air on invisible wing*
and attacks us at will, and we are
powerless to do anything to prevent
the attack. They do not take time
to inform themselves oi ,:,e (act
that if we get rid of the abominable
and filthy houaafly and the annoy
ing mosquito ire will get rid of our
most dangerous and costly diseases
— malarial fever and typhoid. These
dlseasas cannot spreae of their own
freewill. Malaria Is spread solely
through the agency of the mosquito.
We cannot and do not breathe ia
malaria, nor do w« ret It lato our
system through drinking or eAting,
but it is injected 1 into our systems
by the mokquito. Typhoid fever Is
spread either through impure w^ter
or milk The germs which get into
the water and milk cotffe from the
filth which should ue properly car
ried away by a sewerage system. If
the town possessed a good se'werage
system the mosquito would be elim
inated by an elimination of the nu
merous waterpools is which he
breeds. With the filth of the town
carried away through proffer sew
erage the breeding place 6t the fly
would be destroyed and those which
now exist could soon be destroyed
or would die from starvation.
Let ua all take notice of these
facta and realise that the Issue may
be not only better conditions .n
Walterboro but it may be one of
•kkaeas and health for you or some
of your loved opes, or even one f
life aad dealtb. It will mean oue
h the claims.
My understanding of the law is
that the township commissioner
shall have a voice as to how the
funds for his township shall be
spent and shall sign the claims for
the same. If this is not the raRe i
what is a township commissioner for
anyway? I shall be very glad if the
highway commissioner will explain
to the people just where and what
he spent this money for. It is the
usual custom for Col. Hill to tell
me that the money for our town
ship Is out, and.then divide the
work among his friends and pay for
•he same without even letting me
sign the claims or inspect the jobs.
For my ow n information, I would
be glad to know if it ia lawful for
the highway commissioner to ap-
•irove clal’iis for his friends and is
sue checks for the same without the
knowledge or approval of the town
ship commisHioner. This has been
done and the people of my town-
diip want (*n) Hill to explain hy
what authority it has been done, or
to return their money so that th»*
roads and bridges can be repaired
as some of the bridges are in a dan
gerous condition. All of t»nr roads
with the exception of ihe Cotlage-
ville arjil lied Oak sections, are ii.
had condition, not having been
vorked at all in the past year and
e.-pocially is this trite of the Gith-
riis Ferry and Scotsman’s llridge
roads.

Mr. Editor:
My intention was to write a news
letter tor The Press and Standard

Anderson, but my many duties pre
vented my doing so. and it has been
deferred till now. ‘raa meeting of

Thanking my friends for their
confidence in my administration by
their having rq-elected me as county
treasurer, I hereby offer myself as

old boys’* happy and comfortable,
and to shy that they enjoye<| the
'litates against the progress of anv-*• to v *rlfy the saying of
^ every man among them. The man
agement was perfect and this Is
saying very much, for the details
of a meeting like this Is troublesome
Indeed. Chairman Whaley deserves
credit for hls work so well down.
The meeting was a success In the
order of Its “Yfocetfure. The pen
sion matter was thoroughly discuss
ed, and suggestions made for the
next meeting of the legsllature,
which If enacted as presented, will
be helpful to the veterans. I have
heard some remarks regarding this
matter that the vererautt will be
come burdensome to the state. South
Carolinians murmuring because of
the few dollars they give South Car
olina veterans! Well, the lines arc
growing shorter day by day. Roll
call will soon be ended; tattoo
sounded, taps given, lights out!
Yes. the end Is not distant wh *n
much of the burden will be ovc;\
The address of Major West was
enthusiastically received. The next
meeting will be held in Columbia,
and very probably not more than
half dozen meetings and then the
end.
The election of officers resulted
In the re-election of the officer* of
the preceding yea^. The veterans
will long remember the large at
tendance of children formed in the
square, each with a Confederate
battle flag, cheering the men of the
’•Grey” lint*.
It was the writer’s pleasure to
meet a former Walterborian, Mr.
W. W. SmoAk. Although a very
busy man, he gave us every atten
tion. and we enjoyed a visit to the
new home he is bulWing in North
Anderson. It is located in a fine
part of the city, admirably located,
with car line very near, and wfth
Major General Teague we enjtfyed
visiting at the home of Mr. 8moak
and dining with the family. Mr.
Sraoak took a great deal of interest
in the reunion, doing everything he
could for the comfort and good of
the old soldiers.
I was delighted also to shake the
hand of Claude Graves, who came
up from Belton to attend the re
union. Claude is managing an ex
cellent job printing plant and edit
