MOVE TRASH FROM LOTS MATTER. WILL BF TAK&N UP BY BOARD OF HEALTH Trash Piles Breed Disease Qerms Citizens Requested to Clem the Back Lots. Tho board of health has taken up tho matter of cleaning up thc back lots and all other places which stand in need of anything in this Uno and that comes under their supervision. It is tho idea of the board to have this matter attended to at once before summer gets in. In many of tho back lots there 18 trash of all kinds. Pieces of pa per, old barrels and boxes, and all kinds of odds and ends arc in thc lots. In fact som? of them look like trash heaps instead of thc back lots of an up to date town business center. All this trash and refuse is thc natural place for breeding disease germs of all kinds. And one of the most thriving families of all tho number is the much abused and "cussed" mosquito, that nui sance of summer night sleepers and in many instances all day walt ers. Thc board of health is deter mined that this dispenser of dis ease germs and abuser of tho good feelings of the citi/.ens shall be troubled as much as possible and to this end the back lots call for attention. In this connection the work of thc civic league in thc matter of keeping tho streets clean may bo taken up by thc town council. In fact thc industrious ladies who ure members of tho league have ap pointed a committee to bring this matter before, council and have it attended to. They make a good point in that they ask that the cit izens bc required to have the side walks clean for the church goers on Sunday. Trash and other stu li on tho streets is not pleasant to the eye and then the dresses of thc ladies are soiled by dragging them through thc dirty sidewalks, and it is probable that council will take this matter up and act on it in spite of tho fact that they have not done it so far. So those who have trash in theil back lots had better have iL re moved or else thc board of liealtli will be heard from on thc subject, A RACE QUESTION Former Member of State Board 1 Condemns Marlboro Board. Thc Florence Times, whoso edi tor resigned as a member of thc state board of education to bc- i como a member of tho legislature ' says: 1 "Tho Marlboro school case opens ! a big field for quarreling and hard I talk, but wo think that the local 1 board ought to have been sup ported by the state board, as it ! was, but only, if wo understand it, < after a decided stand taken by the state superintendent that he would resign unless tho board wns sup ported. Croatans are not white people. Tho greatest duty that the white raco has on its shoulders is to preserve race pride and in tegrity. It comes straight enough from thc Bible and from God's own commands. Ho punished good and heavy ali violations of his commands in this respect centuries ago, and he punishes them today. Thc white race must bc kept white, negro nor Indian have no business being mixed with thc white race. They may be better in some ways than some white peo ple but it is the race and not thc individual that ought to bc looked after. If the Marlboro board could muster up thc courage to take such a stand as they have taken thc rest of the white raco ought to stand with them. It is thc af fairs of all of us, not <>f Marlboro alone. Wc would that every sin ner who sins against that law, whether man or woman, could and would bo surely punished and pun ished at once. It was the sin that brought punishment oh tho peo ple of Israel long ago and it will bi ing punishment on us now. Stand fast to thc guns, you people of Marlboro. .We admire tho good old Scotch Stull' that you ure made out of anyhow."
