I Since the recent revelation in the newspapers concerning the tilth.v methods used by the large packing houses it is time to stop eating canned meats. Upon reading the articles published 011 this subject one's mind is likely to turn to deviled ham, especially if she or he is a person who has been much in the habit of eating it. For how can tilth be discovered i 11 a tin of deviled ham? In other canned goods it is possible to examine the contents and if they look good they are apt to be so. Rut how about the deviled ham? One of the committee, sent to examine into conditions in the packing establishments saw a large pile 1 of miscellaneous articles consisting of stale meat turned out of old cans, bits of meat shovelled up from a nitliy lloor, and other things not mentioned at the dining table, all in readiness to be ground up and placed in cans. And they may be a fair sample of the deviled ham you have been in the habit of eating. Such things have been allowed to go on under the nose of a government inspection. After reading the report of the committee one is forced to believe that most of the things mentioned in Sinclair's book are true Certain animals found to be tainted with disease, and therefore dangerous to health if eaten, are only tagged , and placed aside to be again taken up by the employees of the packing house and ground up into sausage, deviled ham, and other such like dolicasies. This being the case, no decent person wants any more of it to eat. No matter that some of the canned stuff may be wholesome and lit to eat. yet there is no way to tell the clean from the unclean, the healthy meat from the sickly, for they have ways to treat it and pack it up, so, that anything wrong is hidden. The carcass tagged may be ever so unfit for food but when it is placed with fifty others and all ground up together and then stuffed into a sausage skin or packed inb? can, there is simply noway in whic? the average consumer can tell that there is anything wrong about it. No more deviled ham, thank you. As a rule there is too much written these days with too little thought before writing it. The rage seems to be to fill the most space with empty words that carry little ur nu meaning, anu again that convey several meanings according to the point of view of either the writer or he who is reading it. Then there is the item which might well be called puzzle, because it takes hard study to discover that the writer means to convey any meaning at all, and after much study and labor when the meaning is at last diseo\ered it is found to be worthless and not worth the trouble. The town might purchase the old court house and when put in good repair and repainted it would be all that would be needed for a town hall. EAT SLAI 20 CLERKS chants can fill ir big money. We NWAY BARGAIN rasy to write adv \Y BAI Tiik heavy rains of last week show that Main street is very much in need of good drains. What is the use to haul dirt into the low places only to have it washed away by the next heavy rain? It is a little more than a loss of time. Rave the drains on the bottom with brick or stone and arrange them so they will be ample to take olT the surface water and take it oft quickly, and the bills for dirt hauling will not be so large. It skk.ms to be be understood bv some of the people that the present) efficient members of the House c _ 1 r - - : men norry county will not stand for reelection to the ollice. Whether they have so declared to their friends or not the Herald is not informed, out however this may be, some of their friends are a little uncertain about it, and also perhaps the friends of others who are waitiing to become candidates for the position. I IIeavv rains have visited great sections of Horry county during the ' past week* retarding farm work very much and giving the grass and weeds * me cnanco they l.ave been looking i for since early spring. But it is a | fortunate fact that May was a dry month so that when the rains set in the crops wore clean and the rains now will push them along as well as the grass and weeds. Tiik only thing we have against the summer school is the shortness of the term. The teachers should begin a movement for a longer term, for while a short term accomplishes good, a longer term would do more in proportion to its length. It has been said that the field in this county just now seems scarce j of legislative timber. This may be so, but it is also true that in the political forest giant trees often spring up in the day. A man may be ever so silent and he may often lack words when others would desire that he speak, but this same man is generally the one who can say "no" at the proper time and I place. i From the- charges and counter i charges of graft appearing every day in the public prints, one is led to romarrt that the present time is indeed a day of graft. Whom must you suspect and whom should you trust? I)cafncss Cannot be Cured. by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear, There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is aused by an inflamed condition of he mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored fo its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nino cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
