CLEMSON'S TYPHOID i EPIDEMIC. Report of the State Board of Health Filed. Id strange contrast to the statements aaade about the existence of the typhoid fever ?pid?mie at Clemson college is the report given below, filed Wednesday with the governor by the committee of the State board of health asked by Gov? ernor EUerbe to visit Clemson and in? vestigate ?be causes. Here is the report of the committee of the State board of health : To His Excellency, Governor Ellerby : Dear Governor : Your com m itt se bas the honor to report that in obe? dience to your excellency's instr act ions we visited Clemson Agricultural col? lege and investigated the cause and character of tba prevailing sickness at f ?at point, and nothing remains bat to render to yon officially the results of '?. oar examination. Upo a our arrival at Clemson on Tuescay, the 27th of June, we were wasted upon by President Craighe&d and the faculty, who expressed much gratification at our arrival aod an earn? est desire to give ns all possible. aid in solving the serions problem by which they were confronted and which had ex? cited painful apprehension " throughout the State. It may not be inelegant to refer to tbs extremely picturesque ap | pearanoe of Clemson college, crowning the graceful undulating bills and ? tandie g an enduring monu? ment to its founders. With silent and irresistible eloquence in behalf cf generations to come, who, sheltered ia its beneficent arms, shall learn the lessons of stalwart, enlight? ened citizenship upon which our gov? ernment most rely for peaceful, pros . perons and happy perpetuity. Io advance of making a tour of sani- 1 tary bf inspection, we visited the hos r pita), io which there were a few pa? tients, probably a dozen, some coo vales cing and others qnite ill. We regret- \ ted the absence of Dr. Redfern, him- ' self sick, probably with the prevailing i fever, ant? we found Dr. Hardin io i cheerful and efficient discbarge of the ? ' duties of resident physician. We were 1 informed that approximately between' 70 aod SO esses of sickness bad oe JUT- 1 red among the students within a few i weeks, oeceesitiog the disbanding of '< tho college. Of that number of fever < oases, not more than 30 were of pro- 1 longed duration and several bad died I The fever was thought to be malarie!, i bot there were two cases tn hospital, I concerning which there was some doubt' i bot might be typhoid fever. j A* to the causation of this fever, 1 v?ricas theories were entertained. One < theory was that ?the students bad bathed 1 ic the river near, where the sewerage i -emptied? Another theory was that a 1 comber of Staden ts bad worked in the 1 Sow swamp lands, rich in alla vial de- < "posits and had inhaled the noxious ex- 1 halations from stagnant water, the oat- 1 flow of which bad been recently ch*ck- J ed by a dam. A third theory was that < ? large percentage of the students had' i come from their bornes in m alarie! see- 1 lions of the State, and that the latent < mslftrUi in them bad developed by a 1 higher latitude, by an excessive amount 1 ofjwork and the severe military discip? line of Ibe institution." That these i cmses bad gradually devitalized the 1 students, rendering them easy prey to I oiekoese The disproof of the first ] theory wes tbat some of the siek stu < dents disclaimed ever having been in i the river. The second theory could i not-hold because the sickness was not 1 entirely confined to the students who 1 had worked in the swamp land, and in 1 reply to the third theory it may be ?aid 1 that the siek students represen'ed ail 1 sections of the State. * Io the presence of so many conflict- 1 nig opinions entertained by gentlemen t of intelligence, discrimination and ob- i servatbn, your committee proceeded to i make a systematic and vigorous ex&mi- t nation of every place and every thing i which might possibly su g gent a cloe to 1 the eolation of tbe problem io question. I Toar excellency will recall the physi- < eal appearance of Clemson, its hills aod ?alleys, aod the relative positions 1 of the vations buildings. Taking the j college building as a center, it will be I i observed ?hat tbe watershed of the hill i opuu which it t*raods causes a part of I the storm water to Sow north to the ' river, west to tbe barracks and south and ea*t through a gt-dnally developed 1 valley, round and about tbe dairy and 1 into the dairy and into the ravioe oo | the east, north aod south sides Oo 1 the northern edge of the ravine, io 'he ] valley, is located the diary, a building probably 50 feet square. The site op ; co which it staods bad beeo a small i pood which bad beeo filled io with J debris of variable oharaoter, organic aod 1 inorganic and had been partially i tiled drained. Between the dairy ] aod the abrupt bills north I there is a small space ic which a two springs rise. The larger spring ? was said to become maddy after a rain, < aod accordingly it had beeo eoclosed ? ; with briek on three sides. The small- 1 er spring, beside the door of the dairy, j is included in a casing of impervious ; material about two feet in length by i one foot io width. This spring some- < times becomes milky and is used ex- i elusively in preparing the products of ; the dairy. The day of our arrival it i rained heavily, and the next morang i we traced the storm water from the ad? jacent bills over and around the imper- ; fectiy constructed storm ditch, besides > t?he spring and upon the limited area occupied by the dairy. On the rounding hills over which the st water flows arc open privies to wi co esyeoial attention bad been gii and the contents of which must carried by each recurring rain into valley and thence into the ravine Your committee, in continuaos their duty, examined rbe barrat which they found defective io locati io construction, io ventilation and its System of sewerage. Moisture is essential element in tbe process organic decomposition io the soil wbioh mysterious aod dangerous r ducts are evolved, heat aod a moder supply of air being necessary to t process- Io the construction of dwelling the sanitarian adopts the m efficient meaos for excludi dampness from the fouodation w: and from the basement floors, for p tectiog the soil from impurities aod render it dryer by underground dra age aod by opening the out flow, prevent the pollution of the grouod it is of importance, and it is to be oompiisbed by removing rte source contamination; by facilitating the I taral process of por fica tioa aod by ; lieviog the over taxed powers of t soil, by drainage and storation.. ID the second place protective met ores most be resorted to for additiot security. < Be it remembered that ci lars as usually constructed do sot co stitute a barrier to the escape of i from the sub-soil, aod this is especial so io buildings which are heated arti cialiy, io wbioh case there is sopera ded a auction force created by the ? ceodiog rarifled air. While it is impc sible to prevent the aeration of grout air. it can by suitable devices be d verted- into other aod less hurtful cha; nels, and its dangerous influence min mized. Tbe foundation walls and the bas ment flooring of tbe entire buildin should rest upon a bed of impervioi material, and should have a ventila ing chamber under tbe entire surfac of tbe celler floor separated from tb basement by an intervening pu ve men The chamber should be connecte with a chimney flue/to carry off th ground air which rises in autumr winter and spring During the som mer when tbe ground air sinks a eui rent of fresh air'burlies down wan md rises to the heated sur/ace outsid if the building * Your committee failed to find tba these ordinary sanitary requirement For the protection against ground ai ind jnoislure bad been mel in tb< instruction of the dairy and thi ^arracks In the~matter of ventila :ion there is no adequate arrange nente in the baracks to get rid of tb? stagnant air charged with carboni< icid gas which mast abound to an in arius evfent in euch an unscientific^! y constructed building with its han freds of inmates In addition thc rater closets are improper i ly located md should not be withic lie main building, for the liping for the disposal ol ?xcretion ia liable to be deranged ay the gradua) eabsedence of tbe juild?ng, and by other canses, which nay loosen the joints and allow the ?scape of sewer gas Assuming the lumber of inmates of the barracks to oe 300, the aggregate amount of said excreta for 12 months would probably De seven tons and about 12,000 gal ons of urine. To secure the continuous and rapid removal of this excreta and to pre? vent pollution of air and soil by their temporary detention, is an interesting problem in sanitary science. To ac? complish this purpose the sewers must be perfectly tight throughout, so that whatever enters may pass to the outlet without leakage. The noverr. ent throughout the sewer must ?>? continuous from head to ouilet without halting to putrify. Besides, the sewer must be perfectly ventilated ?a that accumlated gases may not orm and force themselves through Me traps to thedwellings. Adequate rnf ans must be provided for inspect? ing and flushing the sewers, the size ind form of which must be perfectly idjusted to ita flushing appliances, :bat the usual dry weather flow may ye made to keep it free from stilt and >rganic deposits. The following conclusions have i>een reached by your committee : First.-That while it is not improb ible that there has been some mala rial fever at Clemson, it is unques tionable that the prevailing fever is typhoid Second-That the open privies ciave been the prime cause of infec lion, and we view with suspicion the products of the dairy in the manu? facture of which spring water at that place is used. There are several recommendations your committee would respectfully make. Discontinue the open privies absolntely. and by a system of sewers have all the excreta from the various residences 'conducted to the river. Mean time enforce what is known as the "dry system," which consists in the admixture of dried earth or coal ashes with the excrement in suffi cient quantities for absorbing and reducing it to an inodorous aud harm? less form. The material must be per? fectly dry, and applied immediately and in sufficient quantity to cover the excretions and to remove all fluidity of the material The water closet should be detached from the house and thorough ventilation insured, and should be frequently inspected and kept in pefect working order. The dairy should be removed form its present site, and constructed in j obedience to sanitary laws, and per- ; ha^sJt would be better to disconlin-1 ue its operations and avoid the pos sibility of its posing as a factor in the possession of diseases. Assuming that the barracks will be continued as a home for the students, the best recommendation we can make is to underdrain the narrow area between the east side of the building and the high embankment, the latter to be faced with granite. An improved system of ventilation should be introduced, such as is used in army institutions north-for in? stance, at Johns Hopkins university, by which perfect ventilation is ob tained and regulated at will The most modern system of sewerage should be used, and to prevent the possibility of contamination of the building by noxious gases the water closets should be detached from the building The distant end of the sewer at the edge of the river should be so arranged as to escape submerg? ence by river water and protect it against whatever might interfere with its office We recommend further, from the standpoint of sanitation, that vaca? tion be given in the summer months, and your committee are impressed with the belief that it can be done without conflicting with the agricul? tural features of education at Clem son, and would subserve the highe3t interest of professors, the students and the college The recent unfor? tunate experience of sickness and death at Clemson has awakened the spirit of criticism against the ineti tution on the ground of unhealthful ness, which it may not be wise to ignore. In conclusion, your committee might have discussed the laws regu? lating the evolution and extension of typhoid fever, and how in originating in soil and air~polIotion it gives rise to epidemics They might have also cited abundant parallel cases corrobo rajive of the position they have taken in this report, but they do not think these would lend additional emphasis to the plain fact of the existence of typhoid fever at Clemson and the im? perative necessity of preventing its recurrence We have the honor to be Very respectfully, Charles R Taber, M D, James H.

Board of Trustees in Re? gard to the Fever. Clemson College, S. C , July 9 - Concerning the report of the State Board of Qealth in regard to the fever at Clemson College, the Board of Trustees make tbefollowing state raenl : "The Board of Trustees of Clem? son College, mindful of the important trust in their charge, feel called on to make a statement for the information of the people of the State in regard to the recent sickness at the college and its causes We have read the report of the State Board of Health, and'bave also had under consideration the report of the college surgeon, Dr. Redfearn. In addition to the light thus thrown on the subject, we have made a per? sonal examination of the college buildings and the surrounding grounds, and we are not satisfied at all as to the nature of the fever which has prevailed or as to its cause "We have great respect for the scientific ability and learning of the State Board of Health, but we are bound to question their conclusions, from the fact that eminent physicians in the neighboring counties have de dared the fever at the college to be malarial and not typhoid in its na? ture ; and there is grave doubt whether more than four cases of ty? phoid fever have been at the college this year "The cursory and imperfect exam? ination made by the State Board of Health is shown by the fact that two palpable errors are made in their re? port The dairy, which they place under the ban as a probable cause of disease, was not built on a pond which had been filled in, and there is not a single privy on the 'surround? ing hills' above the dairy The wa? ter from the only, privy in the neigh? borhood reaches the ravine below the dairy. Then the statement is made, three separate times, that- the water closets should be outside the bar? racks and not inside, and should be 'detached' from them. In fact, the waler closets were removed from the building more than two years ago, and they are now detached, with an open current of air passing between. They are now reached by a latticed j gallery fifteen feet long, and there is j no possibility of sewer gas getting, into the building "But we are not disposed to criti- | eise the State Board of Health, and j will carry out all of their recommen- I dations that are possible, and leave j no stone unturned to allay all cause j of doubt as to -the proper sanitation i j of the coliege buildings and grounds, j "We have never had any troubl ? before, and we anticipate none in the i'future other than the usual climatic ! and unavoidable diseases of the coun : try "The vacation will bo changed and instead of being in the winter will be in summer, the scholastic year beginning hereafter on the sec ond Wednesday in September and closing the second Tbuteday in June. '.Every suggested or possible cause of fever will be removed and the buildings thoroughly disinfected and put in good order .'We do not hesitate to give as? surances that the college will be guarded against a recurrence of the trouble, if it is possible.,: JOHNSON'S CHILL AND FEVER TONIC Cures Fever ?41 One Day. Just for Fun Mr. John J. Chapman, of New ? York, having written to a Chicago paper that the magazines are edited entirely from a commercial stand point. The Month, "a -'journal of cultivation," published ic New York, remarks : "I have heard this complaint be fore, and should like to know what would be the effect of editing maga zens from the standpoint of Mr, Chapman and others who share his opinion. If a man can be found who is willing to invest money without asking a return, such a magazine may be published, but not otherwise Why should publishers be expected to work for love any more than any other class of business men ? Would Mr. Chapman-who is a painstaking lawyer-devote his time to cases that he could n't win. or to clients that could not pay ? ? do not be Heve he would-through I know of no one who would be more ?ikey to do so " Magazines are business enterprises, and if they are to succeed they must be run on business principles It costs a great deal to produce them, they employ large crops of editors and writers and agents, they charge a fair price for their advertising space and are sold to subscribers and read ers at next to nothing They are not supported by public taxation as are tbe public schools, and in order to exist they must be conducted from a commercial standpoint As with magazines so it is with newspapers They are business enterprise also, and most be managed on business princples They shoold not sell themselves to the promotion of un? worthy objects, or aid in advertising the interests of unworthy men, but it is necessary that they shall manage their affairs on strictly business lines". We sometimes fear that the busi? ness end of a newspaper is not ap preciated even in the most appr?cia tive communities ; that a jiewepaper office is regarded as a place for the free distribution of unlimited infor mationupon all sorta of subjects; that newspapers are printed to give away to any one who might be good enough to ask for them Let a news? paper publish a two column article in which Jones happens to feel a special interest, and Jones is almost certain to appear with a request for half a dozen copies of the paper. Print a three column account of the celebration of a military, and Jenkins will ask for one hundred and fifty copies for distribution, JenkiVs name having figured somewhat prominently in the newspaper account. Invest? ing fifty ce??s in an advertisement, and Smith will think it hard that he cannot get ter. dollars worth of notice "arnon*; the locals." Working off a long official report of a semi public undertaking on an amiable reporter a report which could be covered in a dozen linee-and Brown will want to know the next day what reduction he will be allowed on twenty-five pa? pers As the New York magazine puts it : "Why should publishers be ex? pected to "work for love any more than any other "class of business men ?" No one would go to a cigar store and a6k for a cigar without ex? pecting to pay for it or to a shoe store for a pair of shoes, or to a choth ing house for a pair of trousers, or to a dry goods establishment for a bolt of cloth, without paying for the goods. Why should there be free magazines and free newspapers and not free cigars and free shoes and free trous ers ? We do not mean to 6ay that such a state of things obtains in the electric City by the Sea-perish the thought I But we have heard that iu Augusta and Savannah and other towns in the outlying provinces there is a disposition arnoug some to think that newspapers are a public conven? ience and are published just for fun.

Arrested For Arson. Effect of $500 Reward Of? fered by Uoioa's Council. Special to The State. Union, July 7.-Dr. W. M. Meder, a prominent citizen of this place, was arrested here late this afternoon for attempting to burn the handsome new bank building in.February last. The ari est was not a surprise, as it has been expected here lor some days Dr. Meader was accused pr the time, but for some reason the case was never pushed. Immediately after the attempted burning of the Union hotel here the council offered a reward of $500 for the party who attempted to burn- the bank building, and this arrest of Dr Meader is the result Public opinion is about equally divided as to the above party. Police Powers. May Not Arrest Without Warrant, Unless Present When Offense Was Committed. A nice point of law that may be of interest to the various town councils of the S*ate was decided by Judge Buchanan. Ben F Townsend bad been tried by the council for fighting a short time ago in a store. JSO po lice had seen the difficulty. He was summoned to appear before council. His attorney put up the argument that he had not been legally summon? ed, and the council had no right to try the case, as he was not pronerly before the Court. The council fined him five dollars He appealed. The Judge held that the Mayor's Court only had the rights vested in magistrates and that unless a party was seen by an officer of the law while committing the offense or in a hot pursuit, that the the party could not be arrested ex? cept with a warrant sworn out by someone. Mr Sawyer, attorney, made a very forcible argument for Townsend's side, and, after hearing it, the Judge not only set aside the mayor's decision, but reversed his own decision in a similar case, in which be had just sustained the mayor's decision -Union cor.

Constantinople, July 5.-Contrary to expectations, the decision of the council of ojioisters yesterday was not favorable to the demanda of tbe ambas? sadors relative to the Greco Turkish frontier negotiation.*. The situation, therefore, is Vegarded as being very strained, the Turkish reply virtually implying a rapture of the n?gociations and that tbe powers must make a ooo cession or adopt measures tc enforce their decision. It is reported that the grand vizier has declared to the sultan that he will never fign an agreement based oo tbe strategic lines proposed by the ambas sadors. At the same time it is thought io some quarters that the attitude of toe Turkish government is designed to enable the sultan to yield later by sacrificing some of his ministers, and rumors of impending cabinet cbaoges are already current Baby Cried Night and Bar _ Discharge from Her Ears -Top of Her Head Broke out in Scrofulous Eruptions Grew Worse Under Trestmer.t Till W?
