THE IMPORT VME OFF RESERV
1\G THE HKA/.TR gf TJIE
TOWN. 1
There is no question of more vital
importance to a town than the pre
servation of its health, and the only
‘■way in which this can Ije x^otie, is by
^he strictest attention to saujtary
Regulations, and the rigid enforce
ment of them, whefljer it suits the
views of private jnUi-vulnuls or not.
.The out loo for tjv.' future growth
pf DarJiiijjtgp y very prqrjifsirig, hut
jf we are negligent in regard to the
preservation of the public IjeaUfy,
then all our enterprise and w&r)s will
have been si>ent itt vain.
We propose, as ltf iii'%' as possible
to calj a,tb'ntj; f ;i fo some things that
affect the Jteajtlt of the town; and
.wish to say gf tjjp Pfitscf that, we
jut.cjjd no rellectwu oft fftf)’ one, as
■tl’rese things arc allowed to exist
.through carelessness and ignorance;
.and nothing short of the co-operation
>f the people wjj)} tjff; authorities
pan avail to at arte them. Wc shall
/speak plainly, because the evils ifre
great and the danger froifi them
■ imminent.
In the lirst place we will speak of
the paramount imjiortunce t*f using
pure water, and while it may seem
almost hopeless, the eiuleavgy to jiu-
' press this upon tl/e ff/jjldg >4 popple;
yet the effort shifll made, tygating
that at least some jfiay hfitd- 4
.comparatively eqsy to procure the
‘artesian water, affd t)fis hpi|ig tjve
‘.case, it is difliciijf tq uUfJf.)stjflMl « hy
people will persist i>j the very dan
gerous habit of usiug ^e)| wafer.
; There can be no question us to the
purity of the artesian w'4h-r, and it
jg very easy to prove that all the well
Water, in the older and more thickly
settled portions of the town is very
impure and is almost sure to produce
very serious coiuplicatjojjs when it is
used for drinking purposes. It is
' very important, in this connection,
to bear in mind that iy;ttej' may be
very unhealthy and y>:t not betray
'(self to the taste sight or smell.
.The second matter th;tf we call
attention to, is the matter of drain
age, and tlie importance of a thorough
system of drains or ditches, will he
admitted by every one. A few years
"ago, with a laudable desire tq im
prove the looks of the town, the
Council had most of the large ditches
filled up, after putting box troughs
_ in the botton of them. The improv
ed appearance of the streets was very
manifest, but the wisdom of it on
the point of drainage admits of grave
doubt, and it is very probable that
they will have to be opened again, as
,'jt is believed by good judges that the
surplus water is not carried off as
rapidly and thoroughly as is neces
sary. Except at the factory, where
5 the president enforces the removal of
; it, the almost universal custom is to
bury th • contents of water closets in
the ground, and tips is a practice
3bat'should be immcdiatly stopped.
It is the most jwtont source of water
contamination and ought to be car
ried outside of the town limits and
deposit 'd where there is no danger
to health.
The last thing which we notice in
this connection is the danger of mak
ing interments in the church ceme
teries, and to insist that an ifhsolntc
jstop ought to be put to it. We are
not unmindful of the natural desire
that most people feel of being buried
juiimig their kindred and friends,
■)mt while we respect this sentiment,
no must not carry our respect to the
point of allowing it to endanger the
health and imperil the lives of the
public. We cm; affi|i-d to indulge
sentiment at the exj^-qse of conven
ience or of money, but it must not
be placed in tl;p scale against health
pnd life. If it wciye so that t|jere
•was no other otjier places fqr jhe
burial of our friem|s, flic case would
|te different, but t tyer-v qre cemeteries
tvhere no jiossiblc dgiigor exists, Loth
for white and colored people, and
pur authorities should use their ut
most endeavors to have every inter-
pient made in them; and in this
they should Ik? sustained by the uni
versal sentiment of the puttie. With
the adoption of the suggestions we
have mentioned, Darlington would
lie one of the healthiest places in the
(stale, and a reputation gained in
this respect will add very materially
jo its growth and prosperity.
In addition to the above \vu wish
{o call attention to the imjiortnneeof
keeping back yards, and places not
pxposod to view, in good order. They
plight to be often and thoroughly
cleaned, and plentifully sprinkled
with disinfectants. We do not, for
a moment, wish to lie understood usj
saying that the town is not healthy,
but our purpose in calling attention
to these mutters is to keep it so. The
it is to look after its water supply,
cleunlingiig and drainage. In this
.connectvm jyp tu.k' jfe; liberty of,
suggesting that ,a email degi’ee of
activity on the part of the Board of
Htajfh would not-be partienWly
amiss. They have the pother to <?n-
force cleanliness, and tb i-y Rfltgfif to
do it. TJjev will be fusbvi^ed in-fliis
by all good citizens.
(RI JSLTY TO (OMTfTS.
It has been curretifiy reported that
the convicts who bad he.ea at work
on the C. S. &, N. Road, while on
their way to Columbia, were not fed
for a space pf about 2-1 hours, and
ajl they )uul to eat was given to them
by some kind hearted white and
cplored people in Sumter. If this
be true, it is inhuman in the highest
degree, and whoever ;s responsible
for |t should be severely punished.
The courts did upt impose the pun
ishment of torture upon them, )>ut
they were sentenced to confinenieijt
ami hard labor. The truth is that
some way ought to be devised by
which they could he employed with
in the walls of the penitentiary m on
$mne of the State farms; and an ahso
iqte stop jmt to thejr employment in
/qipcs qr on railroads; especially in
y/OW of tlv' fi>ct that cruelties are ij}-
rmist the invitrjable rule and (J/e
same qinpupt of labor exacted from
the weak, qs js required and can be
Cjisijy performed by the strong. Th;?
Railroad contractors have no interest
jn looking after the health of thej
convicts, and jt is h.afrfly Reasonable
to suppose that they bill put them
selves to much tvooble ahoqt the |
matter. It is true that tlje law re 1 -1
quires that they be under supervision
of the employees of the jieuihmtiqry,
but even this safe gnard does not
sepm to prevgijt a great deal of uu-
necessary suffering oq the part of
the convicts. Degraded as nnqjy of
them doqhth'ss are, it is revoting to
every iustjiiet of humanity that they
should bp subjected to uspjpss suf
fering aqd punisheil in a wfiy never
contemplated by the law.
Tue aboye article was based on
the report published in the Sumter
Watchman and Southron, but since
jt was written the authorities of the
penitentjavy have made a jiositivc
denial of if, f>ml jt js ht|t simple jus
tice to stgt this also; leaving our
readers fo draw their own conclusions
as regards the true slide of the cas',
As we Ijayp already said the whole
system is wrong, and just as long as
the convicts are leased to railroads,
cases of hardship and cruelty will
occur. A convict of very weak frame
and in poor health is required to do
the same work as some brawny giant
to whom the labor is no incouvet .-
ience, while to tIje other it is refined
torture.
