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

ID the second place protective met

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

?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

CONCERNING CLEMSON
A Statement Made by the.
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.,:

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

remarks :
"I have heard this complaint be

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

it : "Why should publishers be ex?

a dry goods establishment for a bolt

Why should there be free magazines
and free newspapers and not free

such a state of things obtains in the

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. News
