HOLMES, See. W. B. T. TITR REST POR BtLfOUBNKSH AND KIDNEYS JOEL E. BRUNSON FOUND DEAD SATURDAY Body Found Neur ltailroad Tracks in Samt er. Well-known Citizen, From Ineiit in Fight for Prohibition In South Carolina. Sumter. February 8.?The peoplo r' Sumter were shocked and saddened1 this morning to hear of the finding of the dead body of Mr. Joel E. Brun- j son alongsldo the railroad track, near New Sumter, a station on the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, about five miles from Sumter, where he bad dropped when returning from bis farm to that place to take the train home. Mr. Brunson was a well known and highly esteemed citizen of this city and was well known throughout the state because of bis fight against the liquor traffic. Ho ran for governor of the state twice, the second time In 1H0G on the prohibition ticket. He was also publisher and editor of the Broad Axe, the official organ of the Prohi bition party in South Carolina, for a number of years, in which be contin ued his fight for prohibition. Mr. Brunson left home with bis Wife this morning on an early morn ing train. He got off at New Sumter to go to his farm, several miles fur ther on. while bis wife went on to Mayesville to spend the day with Iiis daughter. When returning from his farm, where some work was going on, ho dropped dead by the railroad track, a quarter of a mile from New Sumter. It was stated that members of the family had tried to dissuade him from this trip, but he said he was i compelled to go, as ho had not been out to see about the work In several days. His body was found by an old negro, Hen Franklin, who summoned some white neighbors. The Atlan tic Coast liine train to Sumter cnino along shortly after this and was flag ged and the body put on it to be brought here, There were only two witnesses nt the inquest, Dr. Mood, who examined the body, and pronounced death to be due to natural causci . probably from apoplexy, and Hen Franklin, who had discovered the body. The jury re turned a verdict In accordance with the testimony of Dr. Mood. The deceased started out in life as a printer In the old Watchman and Southron printing office. This was during the war, in which be was too young to serve actively in the field, although he was a member of the re serves and ready to serve at home at any time. Later he entered Into the lumber business. In which he was in terested up to the time of his death. He was also interested for the past few years in farming, although he sold his farm between here and Mayes ville some time ago. * ? * HILLSIDE NEWS. * * * Hillside, Feb. 8.?Mrs. Tallthla ?umerel is. visiting her daughter, Mrs. ?f.

Cotton is not the only thing that there's money to be made In, Truck farming has Just appeared on the horizon of South Carolina. Plant more corn, raise more hogs, for. un til South Carolina farmers move their corn crib and smoke bouse from out of the west, they needn't look for gen eral prosperity here. Cotton is not king.

Modern industry seeks to economize cost through tho scientific and prac tical study of efficiency methods. This economy is sought by Improved pro Jesses and machinery, by tho elimina tion of useless handling and waste motion In the performance of routine work, and In other ways. In many lines of business even a superficial observa tion of the routine of production or distribution at once reveals enormous waste of effort. Preventive medicine is the application of the efficiency Idea to health matters. As In the Indus tries, a little study reveals obvious and useless waste, not only on tho eco nomic side, but also In the way of the less tangible but more important things?physical pain, discomfort, ir.i happincss? which make for lessened enjoyment of health and life. Those art fundamental things, tho avoidance of Which inspires all industrial effort. I Two sources of economic and heal;;-, waste are tho rat and the fly. .lust at present the rat is foremost as a prob lem In preventive medicine on ac count of its connection with tho threatened entrance of plague Into our country, and therein lies one of the shortcomings of our health.efficiency system. The discovery of plague in a neighboring island at once sets in motion the rather clumsy machinery Of our health service, local and na tional, and at an enormous waste of time, money .and effort seek to catch, examine and then kill all tho rates on 2.000 miles of coast-line to hoop out one disease. It is necessary, of course, and/must bo done. Put how much bet tor it would he to have no rats! It has long boon known that rates are a source of tromondous economic wnste. not only In seaboard cities aboul docks and wharfs, but in eery por tion of the land. Figures are some times given of the amount of this waste, which mounts Into the million i but oven those figures are only guesses j and probable far short of tho truth. The principle of modern ofllcloncjy would at once demand that no rates should bo tolerated; that, in tho first place, this enormous economic waste and danger to health should be pro vented by swatting tho rat, clubbing him, trapping him, poisoning him, as phyxiating him?exterminating .him? wherever and Whenever he raises his pestiferous head. It should not be left to tho now handicapped health organ, izatlons of cities and towns and the nation to do this work. Tho work should bo done by the individual property-owner or occupier, who now (?tirelessly, indifferently or ignorantly Invites the rat to become an un profitable but most prolific tenant and i givest, paying for his board by sub-j jcctlng Iiis host to the peril of deadly epidemic diseases. liy running tho rat out. of existence and by waging vigilant continuous warfare against! him the public could reduce the rat problem, and consenhcntly the p'nguej problem, to nothingness.?Exchi ge. 1SK OF CALOMEL PRACTICALLY.
