Sanitary Safeguards.
We are glad to note that the
board of health ha? been (juickened
iuto activity with regard to the
sanitary condition of our town.
At this season of the year sanitary
safeguards are not merely ad\
yieablo but imperative. Health us
an asset to a town is incomparbly
superior to any other ad.vantage.
rP..L-t. n n r. , .1 A Ifjal.Jl O n A C-tt.
xanc u a*>a> muuu v?.
terpiiee. zeal and enthtsiasin ail
fall flat. Once le: the impression
go forth that a community is
unhealthy and it takes yeurs to
undo the harmful effect.
Kingstree is naturally a healthy
town. Few towns in South Carolina
are so advantageously situated
as to elevation cr facility for
drainage, and f< r the pas: fewyears
the health record here will
compare favorably with that of
any municipality the same size in the
State. But' we cannot allow sanitary
conditions to adjust themselves.
A careful, rigid inspection
of premises should _ be er.forced
and uo favor shown. Trie health
of the whole community canr.ot
be jeopaidi.ee' because individuals
-? neglect their premises. Bet the
town council proceed tc carry out
promptly the recommendations of
the board of health and spare no
expense to enforce j roper salutation.
What is tc he done should be
done quickly.

The culy possible way any mere

iii Rutledge county, should :: ever
be created, will be- for the people
to levy aii additional tax for
road purposes. As the law now
stands every cent of read tax
levied in a township goes to the
roads iu that township. How in
the name of common sense then'
can Kutiedge county get auymorej
road money than its people pay j
! in taxes?
______________
The Rut ledge county commission
met in Lake City last Friday and i
accepted the report submitted by
i the official surveyors. That is all
the information we have been able'
to get concerning the present slat- j
us of the new county matter. Wei
have not yet seen a copy of the
! map made by the surveyors, nor
j are we informed as to the number j
i of square miles to be taken from
j Williamsburg county under the
j new survey. We hide our time in
patience, hoping that before the
election is ordered we may be.al-j
lowed this and other data necessary
to present the matter fully1
i to our readers.

W. J. Bryan's Opinion of Democrats
Voting for Tariff on Lumber.
1 The Democrats who voted against
j free lumber have
Voted to repudiate the national
! platform of the Democratic party;
Voted to encourage the destruction
of our forests;
Voted to raise the price of one of
the chief necessanes of life;
Voted to tax a material that enters
into a multitude of industries, i
ami thus to place ail unnecessary
burden upon these industries;
Voted to tax the people of the
' whole country for the benefit of a
| comparatively few owners of timber
j lands; and
Voted to tax a majority of their
low:, constituents for the benefit of a
minority of those constituents.
To cast such a vote a Democrat

tree People Mioistered to H. *
At 10:30 a m Friday/
Thompson died at the/ ^
hotel, after an illnes* v.
days. Mr Thompson was ^
stranger in Kingstree, havim
come here about six months asr
Mr J W Chandler, the propriety
of the liotel, knew him last year
as a book-keeper for a Lake/
City tobacco warehouse at^S^
while here he kept the ho'tt
books and wrote life insurance.
Being1 an expert book-keeper, he
had the promise of a position in
one of the local tobacco warehouses
when the season opened.
He spoke of being- a native of
London, England, and said he
had a sister somwhere in Illinois.
Other than this he gave no
clue to relatives or friends with
whom to communicate during
his mortal illness.
The people of Kingstree, proverbially
kind and attentive to
the stranger within their gates,
saw that tlie sick man lacked
for nothing and when the end
came gave iiiin decent burial.
Mr Chandler and his lainiiy also
gave him unremitting attention.
Drs Gamble and Jacobs ministered
to his wants aud a trained
nurse was employed when he
became critically ill. ,
The manners and address of ,
Mr Thompson indicated the gentleman
and those met were
prepossessed in his
