THE 1 178 TICKET. Tlx* Following Two Ballots Will Ik* Interesting to tlu* Younger People on ?>le? tl"n day we published one of the tissue ballots for 18 78. Since then a friend has handed us two oth? er tickets that are very Interesting. Both are published below. In 1876 the Republicans got out a ticket and at the top til printed an eagle carrying a banner with the word ' \ let ,ry.' The ticket was print? ed In red. Above the cut were the words. "l nl?).\ Republican Ticket." The case was a desperate one for the Democrats, so they had a dupli? cate of the ticket printed, eagle, col? or and the words, "Union Republican Ticket" printed and put at the polls. The negroes had been previously in? structed to vote the ticket printed in red with the eagle on it. They were 'given the bogus Democratic ticket and they voted it in good faith. Vic? tory did come that day. History rec? ords that election day as the day up? on which South Carolina was freed from the alien and negro rule. The Republican Ticket was as fol? lows: UNION REPUBLICAN TICKET. (Eagle.) FOR PRESIDENT. Rutherford B. Hayes. FOR VICE PRESIDENT. William A. Wheeler. FOR PRESIDENTIAL ELECTORS. AT Large.

The last will and testament of Mrs. J. E. Bull, deceased, which was ex? ecuted on Feb. 21 of this year, is of interest on account of some public bequeathals which were tendered in this document. The first request of Mrs. Bull was that her body should be cremated, and that the ashes should be thrown to the winds. The executors named for the per? formances of the requests and be? queathals of the will are Messrs. T. M. Raysor, A. W. Summers and Dr. T. C. Doyle. For the performance of this dut ? Mrs. Bull set aside the sum of $2,50 > each. This amount t3 be paid In addition to the regular legal commissions allowed for such work. In the will Mrs. Bull first looked after the comfort and welfare of her mother, who now resides In Wash? ington during the remainder of her natural life, after which the division of the property shall be made. The sum of $2,000 was bequeathed to the Moultrle chapter, D. A. R. of this city, for the purpose of assisting In the erection of a monument here to the heroes of the American Revo? lution*. This amount, however, will not be available until after the death of Mrs. Bull's mother. The Church of the Redeemer, Epls opal, of this city will also re? ceive the sum of $1,500 upon the death of Mrs. Bull's mother, for the purpose of placing new pews within the church here. The Dixie Library of this city was remembered by Mrs. Bull, to which she left all of her seventeen book cases and books. Near relatives and close friends of the deceased in and out of the city were rememberea by Mrs. Bull in the division of her personal effects, and also bequeathals of money and sum. real estate.?Orangeburg News. They Might Have Known. Harvey Hale Flke, the well-known Southern composer, said at a concert In Atlanta: "The man who begins by writing trivial and vulgar music will end by writing trivial and vulgar music. It Is a thing so sure that it reminds me of the Lumpkin hunters' adventure at the Blue Ridge mountaineer's. "Two hunters employed on the Sea? board Air Line at Bumpkin went hunting in the mountains. They got ????nighted north of Nacoochee, and had to ask a mountaineer to put them up in his cabin. "The mountaineer gave them a hearty welcome. He fed them on good hog and hominy. After supper, though, as they smoked and talked, they couldn't help wondering where they were to sleep; for the cabin had only one room, there was only one bed, and besides Mr. and Mrs. Moun? taineer there were six children In the household. "Well, the talk went on, and the woman, after a while, put the two youngest children to bed. They soon fell asleep, and taking them up, she laid them over In a corner. Then she put the two bigger children to bed. They, in their turn falling asleep, were laid to their eorner, and at n nod from the mother the other two children turned in. ''By the time all six of the trans? ferred children lay asleep on the floor In a row, the two Bumpkin men be? gan to yawn, and the mountaineer, pointing to the bed, urged them to retire. They hesitated, but thief ob? jections were hospitably overcome, and they (Vit asleep In the comfort abb- bed with the mountaineer's pipe smoke in their nostrials, and with his wife's \olce. as she read last Week's paper aloud, sounding monotonously In their ears. "Bright and early the ne\t morning the two Lumpkin hunters awoke They lav over in the corner, surround? ed on all sides by children, and in the bed tin- mountaineer and his wife slept peacefully."?Detroit Free Presa.

Health Officer Makos Some Timely Suggestions. iitaith Officer Reardon is now working hard inspecting the city with a view of having the sanitary condi? tions during the summer months what they should be for good health. This officer is only one man in a pop? ulation of between twelve and four? teen thousand. He has a great many rooms to disinfect, special complaints to abate, meats, fish, green groceries, to Inspect, and to see that city drain? and ditches are kept open and clean? ed out and numerous other duties to perform. Bo that it is the duty of every citizen to aid the health officer in maintaining proper sanitary condi? tions by keeping their premises clean, putting oil and disinfectants in their cess pools and seeing that cess pool covers are fly and mosquito proof, that no tin cans, buckets, barrels, or other waterholding receptacles are left around to breed mosquitoes, that gut? ters are cleaned out, garbage put oM often, at least three times weekly, horse and cow lots and stalls kept clean and inoffensive and everything pertaining to cleanliness should be done by every householder in Sum? ter. Now is the time to fight mosquitos. Lot everybody pitch In. Examine your own yard and see if you have any mosquito-breeding places therein. If the truth was published it would surprise the public to know how many times it has been found by the health officer that mosquitos, and other nui? sances complained of have been found right on the premises of individuals making complaints about their neigh? bors. The health officer is going to ask for an extra supply of oil and disin? fectants, and extra help to pour these two ingredients In open and under? ground drains, ditches, low places, sand traps, and other mosquito-breed? ing places. Just whether he will get what he asks for remains to be seen. The Sumter health officer has to see after sanitary conditions and disin? fect for serious communicable dis? eases for a distance of from one to two miles distant from the corporate limits outside of Sumter. This city must be protected by all means from nearby Infectious diseases. Put your trash and garbage box or barrel by vour back door. Quit throwing your tin cans and other re? fuse out in the back yards, but throw all such in the trash box or barrel. All citizens should remember that piano boxes, box cars, crockery crates and all boxes or barrels too heavy to lift are not allowed to be placed on the streets. Only such boxes or bar? rels of refuse of such size and weight as may be picked up by the cart driv? ers may be placed on the street. Put? ting out trash after ten o'clock in the morning is a violationiof the law. Let everybody get busy trying to kill out mosquitos and help out instead of abusing the city officials. Abusing officials never killed a single mos? quito. The health officer requested the bread bakers to cover their bread for delivery with dust and fly pi oof pa? per. The paper is transparent, flax, sanitary material. Every bread deal? er in Sumter, retail or wholesale, has been notified that bread and pastries must be kept protected from dies, and as far as possible from dust. They have all agreed to comply with this rule without being forced to do so. The meat shops have long ago been notified not to allow their meats to be hauled into Sumter un? less the same is carefully covered <vith cloths so as to protect the meat from files and dust. Citizens noticing ar>y violations of this rule will do the general public a favor by reporting the violations to the first police officer they can find. The slaughter houses outside of the City are regularly inspected and the men in charge warned not to permit any uncovered meats to be hauled Into Sumter. The methods of butch? ering and handling meats at the slaughter houses have been laid down for observance. Unless every precau? tionary measure is adhered to the Hoard of Health will certainly estab? lish a municipal slaughter pen and require all home raised beeves sold on this market to be slaughtered at the City slaughter pen. The Sumter meat market men are wide-awake and anxious to help out the health department in every way. Every meat market is to protect its meats from flies by electrics fans. wire screens, netting or refrigerators. The Sumter fresh meat dealers take pride In keeping their markets in a sanitary condition at all times. It will pay them to do so. Bvery house-wife should make a warfare on (lies. Keep files off of your food. Keep flies out of your house. We Will continue to have mil? lions of (lbs until the city prohibits the habit of stables accumulating thousands of tons of manure for fer? tilizing purposes. We will have flies as long as the housekeeper permits the cook to have a lot of fly-attract? ing matter around the kitchens. Clean kitchens do more to keep away Mies than any thing else. Get you a lly-klller, or insect powder and get busy killing Hies. The most effe< tlvc way of reaching the present generation of people is through their children, and this coun rty can never shake off completely the burden of preventable diseases until a generation has been system- | atically instructed in the principles' of sanitation. Health and the protection of life are more important to the people than even the extension of their com? merce, the fostering of agricultural interests, solving of financial prob? lems, the cheapness or efficiency of our postal facilities, improvement of1 rivers and harbors, enlargement of our navy or army, equalization of tax returns, and more necessary to their happiness. Clean, hard and sanitary streets vhlch can be kept clean, drainage, less dust, and fewer mos quitos and flies will be worth mil? lions to Sumter or any other place. Pistol Toting Scores Again. ' Pistol toting" added another to Its long and grlsley list of tragedies when that murderous passenger took charge of the Royal Limited Wednes? day afternoon. The day before, in New York city, a lunatic who had killed two boys and seriously wound? ed a man was sent to Matteawan, and the commission which decided his fate expressed astonishment and in? dignation that he had been permitted to go at large and bearing arms. Isn't there some way to keep deadly wea? pons from the hands of irresponsible persons? Is it necessary for men, wo? men and children to face the constant danger of being shot down? Is civ? ilized government so inefficient that it cannot wipe that danger out? We believe not. We are convinced that an organized crusade against carrying deadly weapons, conducted with intelligence and rigor, would quickly reduce the number of crimes of violence in the United States. It is too easy at present for any Tom, Dick or Harry to acquire firearms and ammunition; the penalities for carry? ing concealed weapons are too light and they are imposed too seldom. That such a man as the passenger oti the Royal Limited, of unsound mind and given to drunkenness and rages, should be permitted to go about arm? ed with an automatic pistol and enough cartridges to supply a shoot? ing gallery, is sufficient to emphasize the necessity for more stringent laws. ?Baltimore Sun.
