Koch became distinguished as an investigator of micro-organisms, but probably gained most renown as the discoverer of the bacilli of tu? berculosis and cholera. It was In 1882 that Prof. Koch first announced his discovery of the bacil? li oi tuberculosis. The following year he was sent by the German gov? ernment to India and Egypt to study cholera and he discovered the comma bacillus, the presence of which Is re? garded as an Infallible test In diag? nosing Asiatic cholera* It was In 1890, at the meeting of Rie International Medical Congress, that Prof. Koch announced the dis? covery of a specific for tuberculosis, but while his announcement created much sensation, the medical profes? sion generally did not accept It as a fact, and subsequent experience did not fully substantiate the claims oi Koch In this direction. Prof. Koch received decorations from the German and French gov? ernments for his discoveries. He vis? ited the United States In 1908. arid attended the International Tubercu? losis Congress In Washington. TRUNK TRIFF TRANSPORTED. Detecthcs lla\o Alleged Participant In Scries of Robberies.

Quite a number?fifty or more?are arranging to camp in tents on the churchyard, and so set up a sort of Feast of Tabernacles. Tents can be borrowed or bought. Bro. W. J. Wil? der can give information concerning the cost. Song services will be held daily. The Bethel brethren will provide homes for those who do not occupy tents. The afternoons will be surrendered to the younger folk, for amusement and games. Rev. V. I. Masters, of Atlanta, will occupy a part of two evenings with pictures from a stereopticon. The object of the Assembly is to en? lighten us concerning a few of the vital questions pertaining to the King? dom of God.

Pitts' place near town this morning by No, B I, the southbound train on tiu Atlantic Coast Line. The mu'e was being driven by Albertus Vaughn, a colored boy about fourteen years old. The negro was driving a mule that was hard to get started, and af? ter he .-lined was hard to stop, lie saw the train coming and thought he could pass before he got there, He < ver-estlmated the sped of his mule or under-estimated the Bpeed of the train, for tile train reached the cross? ing first and the mule ran Into the side of the train. The animal was killed, while the in gro got oft with t few slight bruises, The boy took to ! bis heels as so.oi us tbc accident oc I eui t'ed. j One canted help hul admire j boy's courage In driving into a mov? i ling train, but everyone has a mighty j pom- opinion of his judgment.

Health Officer Explains His Position in Regard to Oakland Sewer. Editor l ?aily Item: Mr. T. B. Jenkins in ins letter to City Council said that 1 had told him. or rather to use his own statement, "We are informed by Mr. Reardon, and we have every reason to believe his statement, th.it every day spent in this community Is at a grave risk to ; life, on account of the total absence ? of any kind cd' disinfectants being used, and the hundred of thousands of dies swarming in and out of the sew? er." i asked Mrs. Williamson yesterday \ morning about this matter and she said that she had not told Mr. Jen- : kins that 1 said there was never any j disinfectants used. Mrs. Williamson is correc t in a j sense because she possibly inferred i from my explanation to her of the ? j menace of an open sewer that it was practically impossible to disinfect an | open sewer with any reasonable ex? pectation of killing all disease bear? ing germs because in one of the open sewer lines there was a slow and slug? gish flow of exposed sewage which carried off the disinfectants, yet was slow enough to permit of flies light? ing in the sewage, or on the im? pregnated soil around the pipes. Mrs. Williamson called up Mayor Jennings: while I was at her house, at my re? quest, and informed him that she had called me in herself and asked me to tell her whether the open sew? er was a menace to the health of the people of that neighborhood. Mr. Jenkins never opened his mouth to me about that open sewer until yes? terday morning w hen 1 spoke to him about his letter which created the impression that I had misrepresented matters about the disinfectants. He admitted then that he was saying what he understood some one else to say. Any one who had been watching the conditions in and around the broken pipes and particularly in the part of the excavations where crude sewage remains for days in a stag? nant condition can realize the men? ace to health. If th5t sewage remain? ed steady and did not flow off carry? ing the disinfectants then the germi? cides would naturally kill the germs. But if you have an open sewer which gradually empties itself every few hours, filling up again with crude sew? age in which there in no disinfectants whv the files "pht'**!??* or? tv?o crude sewage nr"?t ne< ?sarily .< menace I to public health 11 there is anythl g in the thfcorj of IHea carrying disease I bearing i. .t tns. I On May 6, the ?oard or rieaiui ue cided that these open sewers were a menace to the public health, and on that day addressed a letter to the city authorities calling attention to the danger. So how could I do other? wise than say that they are a menace when my superior officers condemned the open sewers. Work on the repairs to the sewer was stopped on the morning of May 4th. I have placed all of the disin? fectants in the sewer which could do any good. Mr. White has also done the same thin<g, and the open sewers have been closed so that no flies may enter the sain*. This was done yes? terday. Two aldermen informed me that the City Council ordered the ex? cavations olosed over two weeks ago. There is a difference Of opinion as to whether these* open cov/ers are a men? ace. I was governed by the opinion of the Board of Health and did not presume to create the impression that T knew enough to express an opinion. City Council passe.I resolutions con? demning me. Mr. Jenkins has a right to protest. Ho wrote w hat he thought 1 had s-iid. His ervor does not change the conditions. He would not inten? tionally misrepresent me or any one else. He has a right to demand tho proper safeguarding of his health, and that of his family, and his ten? ants. I never voluntarily offered any Information to any one about the open sewers. 1 carried out the orders of the Hoard of Health. Chairman J. P, Booth, of the Public Works Com mlttee has cooperated with me In hav? ing disinfectants put In the excavation during the time work was going on. ;tnd since that time. If I have done wrong in any thing I said to Mrs. Williamson she does not think bo. she Bays that l only told her what she asked me for, the truth. City Council can prefer charges against me to the Board of Health for any wrong they think I have done. I am willing to face the music. I want a hearing thai will not be one sided. The board would not condemn me without a hearing yours truly, E, I. REA RD< >N, Health Officer, Sumter, S. *'..
