Marshal of Police Farnan declared emphatically yesterday that he fav? ored ridding- the city of all dogf whether licensed or not. He said he did not approve the suggestion to have the police shoot all stray d )gl He added that the police are doing everything In their power to handle the dog question under the preaent lawn. "The only solution I can see to lh?* dog question which has been agitated so much recently." said the Marshal, "Is to rid the city of them entirely. 1 do not believe in allowing dogs to run In the streets endangering the lives of children and others. "The only place for dogs Is in the J country, where they have plenty of ] room to romp and frolic on the greensward. Dogs seldom bite peo? ple In the country. It is only In the city that they become peevish anl crsnky. They should all be taken from the city. "I fully agree with Dr. X. O. Kcirle of the Pasteur department of the City Hospital, that children have more right to the streets than have the dogs. More children than older persons are bitten by dogs.

"When a patrolman finds a dog on his post which has not a license he is supposed to follow the animal until It leaves his bslliwlck. He then finds the other patrolman and notifies him. The dog Is watched until it returns to Its abode and the owner Is then ar? rested on a warrant which the officer s'vears out.

Editor Daily Item: I deny that any man or organiza? tion of men, moral, political or social has the right to prescribe what I shall not drink. This is prescribing what I shall drink. For if there be, as there is, but whiskey, water, rnilk, tea, coffee, etc., that can be drunk, to prohibit any one of these, is to. negatively, dictate what I shall, or may drink. If they can decide what I may drink, they can dictate, also what I shall eat. and wherewith I shall be clothed. Then, logically, it follows, as night follows day, and in? evitably, (in the process of such sumptuary dictation,) what I shall be? lieve, and what I may, and may not think. This would be mental slavery or bondage. Let us not start In this direction for we cannot see how far it will go with those who shall come af? ter us?or even with ourselves! I deny it because: the,right to eat or drink whateevr I choose, irrespec? tive of the wisdom or folly of any particular act, was not acquired, not bestowed by men. nor derived from government or any organization, nor Inherited from parents, but from the Creator, Who, Himself, set before us blessings and curses, saying: "Choose ye." (each for himself). Let us not make the curses worse, by ad? ding violation of law to those who le? gitimately use liquors. For violation of one law leads to disregard of any law that does not suit us. And South Carolina, and the whole country, is wellnlgh unendurable In that respect now, without opening a high school to demoralize the few remaining who still have some respect for law. This right (the right to indulge moderately, Immoderately or to deny ourselves, partially, or totally, applies to liquor as well as all things not pro? hibited by the Creator, is one of the inherent, under|ved rights of man. Bestowed by the Creator, It can be, righteously withdrawn, only by him. Ii is a part of our constitution. It ac? centuates our individuality. For the manner or extent in which we use, or abuse, this right each is accountable to him, and not to men. Therefore "What God hath Joined let no man put asunder." Now let me try to make my meaning clear. First. I do not mean anything I have not said, and I do mean exactly what I have said?If I understand the meaning of the words I used. And if you will understand them, as they are, and not inject, from your mind, the color of some Jumped at, conclusion or preju? dice, which is clearly beyond, and ad? ditional to the meaning of the words , I use and the Ideas by them conveyed, I am sure no clear mind will dispute. This right is clearly recognized, and fully admitted, (I believe, in all pro? hibition territory, and certainly) In the minds of the prohibitionists in South Carolina, by providing that druggists may sell It under restric? tions. Now if he has the right to swallow a spoonful, he has the right to swallow a pint, or a quart, in what ?*-er time, long or short, that he see*: ?t. And the drinker's C?nsclence is the only mentor that God has au? thorized to, forcibly, restrain him, re? serving to himself to punish any vio 'nMJeC *n t*le way ?* sluttonry or ex" i-ess. If a mime or wrong be committed mder intoxication, the crime is Just the kind an.I degree of crime it would ave been If the perpetrator had been sober, and should be punished as *uch. Drunkenness Is one wrong and each wrong act, while drunk, is an? other wrong, and neither can merge Into, or, in man's law. alter the tur? pitude of the other, unless it be by aggravation. j Many pet sons, without a shadow of ITOUltd, suppose that the churches, and the Bible lay it upon their con? sciences to get a political organftatk )g to enforce prohibition. So far are churches from favoring prohlbtlOD Of intoxicants, that not one, in aH the centuries oft church history has ever attempted, or so far as i know, even proposed to, among the members, siin les: up oi the world. And tne Bible and our L >rd, plainly sanction the proper use of liquors that can Intoxi? cate, If misused. And the tame is tiue of other matters, which are worthy and commendable when "done decently and in order," but scandal ous, reprobate ami degartting tohen Improperly used, The ehurcb Is riot authorised to rule the world. \u ad? vancement of her enthronement an I coronation, nor at liberty to iclsc or u>urp any Image of that future pow* er, i ???.???<? it is regularly conferred! but each one Ii to "bear witness' In Vs own proper spher<.

While a man has the right to make a nuisance of himself, he also has tie duty to restrain himself within decor our. bounds. Rights always have cor? relative duties. If one makes himself a nuisance in this way, punish him for tho <?vcrt act, when committed. not before! And punish for the vio? lation of duty to society, not for Iiis violation of conscience, or sin against God?for you do not know the de giee of turpitude in any case?how then can you apportion it to every case? And if you knew, it is not your business to punish that. | If one commits a crime while intox- I icated, or under influence of Intoxi? cants instead of considering his con- I dition a palliation, regard it as it is, I an aggravation; else that is but a premium on drinking for one can get I drunk to commit a crime, or say he was drunk, and reduce his punish? ment. The Democratic party in South Car? olina is being prostituted in a very deplorable way in this prohibtion craze, and our children and children's children may have bitter cause to re- I gret when "no place fore^epentance I can be found, though they seek it with tears." Here is a quasi political scheme to censor people's morals, on I a point that the churches do not re? quire for members and none of them, I I believe, are very strenuously com? batting free moral agency In this, as I churches, however, vociferous some I may be as members. If the churches, I do not approve leaving it to the in- I dividual conscience, none of them make total abstinence, a condition of membership, in good standing and wo seldom hear of a member (If it hap? pens) disciplined for undue?"what" ?cover he was it maketh no matter to me." I The Democratic party of South Carolina it seems to me, if they will accept a suggestion from one who is j SO democratic that he will acquiesce perfectly If they are determined to go out of politics, which it manages in no I exemplary way, at many points, and enter competition with the church, to regulate moral character, and private personal conduct. My suggestion is: that the Democratic party refer thisj whole matter to the churches and I family government. If the church I members who are so vociferous about this will try prohibition in the church first, and pull out every mote in the I eye, who will not live up to that sen? timent, they will give us a whole? some example of earnestness, ana, it may be, all can see better to pull the intoxicant beam from the iworld's! eye And this is not meant for sar? casm. Another suggestion?a practical I one this time, as I consider neither of the preceding to be. The ladies are "organized and organizing, throughout the land with great variety of objects. I It the ladles will associate to encour? age temperance, having the main ar? ticle of their constitution, by-laws, te? net and practice, to ostracise and re? fuse to associate with or even recog-1 nige, any marriageable or young per? son who uses intoxicants as a bev- I erage. they can, and no doubt will, accomplish a very great reform, and will not be long about it. I hope that some of the earnest and influential I ladies of Sumter, who have the wel-1 fare of the present and future of our country in their hearts. and who would like to leave Ineradicable "foot prints on the sands of time," will take this matter under consideration, and Oecide to make the trial.

Washington, June 13.?American missionaries in the Kongo Free State, as well as consular officers and other American citizens, are in imminent peril from the prevalence of a dis? ease, "sleeping sickness" that has re? cently become epidemic there to an alarming degree. Surgeon General Walter Wyman, of the public health and marine hospital service, a short time ago ordered a complete Investigation into the mat? ter and the report that was made to him by Consul General Handley, at Borna, has just been made public. "To check the progress of this ter? rible scourge In the Kongo," Consul Handley says, "is an important and . difficult problem. While the disease ! has been known to exist In various forma for the last sixty years on the Wast coast of Africa, it was not until the opening up of the Kongo by Stan? ley's expedition and other agencies that the disease was carried on be? yond Leopoldville and to the upper reaches of the river, from which it rapidly spread to all parts of the Kongo basin. "The matter is becoming very ur? gent to those who take an interest in the commercial development of Afri? ca, as the spread of the disease is at? taining such proportions as may al? most end in the depopulation of the Kongo basin and the Uganda Protec? torate, while the extension of the ma? lady into British Central Arifca and ihe Egyptian Sudan is also a matte'.' concern." This "sleeping sickness" is convey? ed by a fly, very similar in appearance O the common house fly. but it is able U) do vastly more harm by ii? o-igrations. The part of Belgian Kongo most ?erlonsly affected is the district of Ka tAhgO. Here the disease has develop? ed to such an extent that whole vil? lages have been decimated and those spared from the ravages of the ma? lady have (led in panic. At Luebo, winre the American Presbyterian mission is located, strong m< asurea must i?e taken Immediate^' for the suppression of the disease or there will be countless numbers ?f deaths.

Investigation of this disease show* beyond doubt that the spread wlthl.i the last five yens h:ts been**duc to ?1 large extent of the system of trans? portation, the shifting of the native sold'.era from one district t-? another, and. primarily, to the great lack of n < dU ai attendance and InsuffleU ill hoi i Ital facilities.
