LEMMON, Manager. _ 111 11 unary of Chamber of Commerce Aslrft Dr. lUyno for State and Fed? eral Aid In Freeing Town of Posts. With a view of further fostering the ??City Beautiful' idea, which cm braces within the scope of these Ideal conditions of city life, ths? additional Idea of "A more desire ble city In which to live." the secretary of the Sumter Chamber of Commerce has written Dr. J. Y. Hayno. the State health officer, to find out whether he can arrange to have Kumter Included in the mosquito eradication campaign under the supervision of the United Mates government health depart? ment experts now working in Orortgo burg and several other counties of South Carolina. t The campaign for eradication of the cattle tiojc In this and other coun? ties, has, deservedly und desirably createel much Interest, because of the seoneShlcal value of the results to he gained by the Increased value of the animals after the ojuarantlne has been removed from Che former tick Infested sone. Tue eradication of a p'&t to tho human raco and the decrease of a prcventlhle disease, ns&larlal fever, spread by the anophele mosquito as the Intermediate host should appeal much more to the citizens. Tho mosquito eradication cam? paign. v? nerever conducted in tho past, as In the present, like tho rat? tle tit k eradication effort, is not nec? essarily alt'sccthcr arbitrary, hut a bother so or not. tho results have l?e* i greater when made oducatlon sl, and Illustrative. Tho Ides of the Chamber of Com? merce In seeking State and federal aid Is not only bocuusc of tho neces? sity for Ins' ruction, hut largely be? cause experience has demonstrated ths fact that cooperation between ths city and the rurul and sub'.rban districts Is ubsoluPdv essential in i roll' it. i .1; the ino.MifUlto.

Hut there are ?a? h summ? r m.niy more mosquitoes in Sumter. as every, where eis?? than there are nn\ need for. end unnceessarllv so. The hie,i of city ;tml rural ? oopera tion In the ??ntl moMiuito tight orlgl* I nated in the lack of desirable results from tho one-sided fight which a city government, and city people make to eradicate mosqultos within tho city when Just outside of the city limits are often thousands of people prac? tically within, hut heyond the legal or sanitary jurisdiction of the city government, and who nrc under no^ restraint whatsoever with regard to unasnitary conditions. Sumtcr suffers to a large extent In this way. While not attaching all of the blame for mosqultos or conta? gious diseases upon the suburban dis? tricts, and accepting the indisputable evidence of responsibility for its own mosqultos and sickness to that ex? tent which Sumter and Sumtcr peo? ple must bo responsible for and suf? fer from, nevertheless it is a fact that Sumter has a large suburban popula? tion from which we draw more ? or less contagious diseases, Hies and mosqultos because of no health reg? ulations, quarantine, disinfection, of sanitary laws in force In the unincor? porated suburban and even remote rural districts. Tho only redress, and the only practical solution of the problem lies in tho State board of health, which has authority outside incorporated districts, taking the necessary steps i to educate and require tho rural or tho suburban population to eradicate mosquitoes and otherwise safeguard tho public health, also. If the city and suburban popula? tion can be gotten together, by any manner of means, and if the hun? dreds of breedings places for mos? quitoes Just beyond tho city can be ] obliterated at the same time that those, breeding places within the city are stamped out, and if. much lu t - t< r arrangements can be made whereby the entire population of both ? ity and its suburbs ? an be educated to the importance of eradicating tin mosquito snmter will certainly be the gainer thereby, economically ;?nd physically, ami so will those citi? zens of the suburban population. A mosquitoless city will be 'A 1*5? siraMe <'ity in Which t? ? Live." hi the course of human events what has i?eon done before cue !>?? duns annln, One "f those experts, whom Ihc com? menial oruani/ation seekM In have visit Snmter, achieved world-wide notoriety in the sol\ im; of a greater mosquito and malarial fever prob? bm than Sumtcr could ever present. This experti by much more necessur? lly arbitrary methods than will be needed nmona such an Intelligent people as live in Sumler city ami HII bur In?, ami remote rural dlslriels, eradi? ateil mosquitoes In Panama 1 Canal zone, Havana, and other places known for centuries as the hot beds of yellow and malarial fever which are spread by a process of inoculat? ion from a yellow fever or malarial fever patient to persons in normal conditions of health. What Sumter people, and our friends of the suburbs, will have to do, is to become interested in and seek to learn, from the experts, ami then go ahead and do. or perhaps bet? ter than all, don't do what the ex? perts tell them not to do. Should the State health officer de? sire to take up the work in Sumter the director! of the Chamber of Commerce, and its committee on health and sanitation, and its com? mittee on education will be request? ed to meet and cooperate with the city and State oflu ials. A number of Sumter citizens have voluntarily offered to assist the Cham? ber of Commerce; in l is effort to rid Sumter of mosquitoes. BENEFITS OF MAY RAILROAD. Secretary of Chamber of Commerce Calls on Cltlscns to Aid in Making Proposed Project a Success. in a circular letter from tho Sumter Chamber of Commerce, ad? dressed to a number of Sumu r busi? ness men, asking for financial assist? ance In paying for the preliminary survey, maps, estimates of cost, se? curing of rights of way, and other necessary expenses Incidental to pro? moting the building of tho much de? sired Sumtor-TurbevHlo-Olanta rail? way, Secretary Itenrdon points oul conclusively tho value of this pro 'posed new transportation line to the merchants of Sinnt? r. wholesale and . retail. He says, in part) thai hundreds of thousands of dollars in trade from the Shiloh. Qoodwlll, Turbovillo and <,dauta. und nearby sections natur? ally tributary to tho wholesale, retail. !ami manufaeturini establishments of Sumter, ;iro being diverted to other competitive towns that are nearer Itransportation lines; in that section than Sumter. He furthor alleges that although the Chamber of Commerce ami the people of the Shiloh, and other Sec? tions, working well togothcr, have suecoded In having public highways to Sumter Improved very much, that narrowed down to Its lllial analysis the Ollly sensible solution of the ploli lem confronting the Sumter Clmni bor of Commerce, ami Itetail I tenters' Association, is Ihe hoihliur of a rail '\\a> hue from Olnntu und Turbeville to Sumtcr in order to meet railway transportation competition which competitive towns enjoy from those sections. He further states that a majority of the farmers and country mer? chants of the sections above mention? ed are now, ?and have been for many years desirous of trading in Sumtcr, and shipping their cotton, tobacco, and other farm producta to Sumtcr. President E. W. Dabbs, of the State Farmers' Union, a member of the Sumtcr County Farmers' Union, and d, Sumtcr county farmer, living in the Goodwill section substantially beam out in yesterday's Daily Item every argument made by the Managing Secretary of the Sumtcr Chamber of Co. .ncree. The citizens of Sumtcr, several years ago, almost unanimously signed a petition circulated by the present commercial secretary, authorising the city of Sumtcr to appropriate $20,-' 000, which was done, lor the purpose of securing rights of way for the South Carolina Western Railway from Hlshopvllle, to Sumtcr. That was a splendid investment and few, it any, regret the cost of the South Carolina Western Hallway. Put Mr. Dabbs very truthfully says that the "Seaboard Air Line" cost, if proven 10 be a good Investment, is certainly an argument in favor of the proposed Suinter-Turbeville-? Hanta Railway. Numbers of Sumter's most success fid and shrewdest business ami professional men. say that the Humter*Turbevllle-< Hanta Railway will surpass, by far. in value to Sum? tcr city, any benefits which the South Carolina Western Railway has given Sumtcr, without discrediting that railroad or the territory it traverses. The Bumtcr-Turbeville-Olanta rail? way will traverse one of the richest and most fertile agricultural Bcelions of South Carolina, will traverse a virgin soil country wherein arc pro? duced millions of dollars worth of cotton, corn, toltacoo, truck, poultry, live stock ami other eommcrclal com? modities the producers of which have open and above hoard, and with enthusiasm, informed the Chamber of Commerce the> are anxious to market 'in Snmter and to spend their money With Sumtcr merchants, ami to de? posit iu Sumtcr banks, if furnished1 Ireasonable railway transportation to and from Sumtcr lor passengers and I n Ight. I 'or 1 he sake of a ft vv hundred 'dollars needed i<> complete I lie pre? liminary work of promotion of such an Important railway link iniisl the commercial organization, forsooth, 1 jo compelled to reluctantly call, again and again, upon the compar? atively few public spirited citizens of Sumter who have already subscribed liberally towards the expenses of the preliminary surveys, etc., of this pro? posed railway, when there arc so many hundreds of other Sumter peo? ple, merchant! among this number, too, who have given nothing, but who will participate in the pros? perity coming from such an exten? sively increased trade territory and Increased business ? A few dollars from every merchant, real estate owner, real estate deal? er, manufacturer, and many other beneficiaries of the efforts of the Chamber of Commerce will not only equalize the burdens of expense, but, with the knowledge of the prospect of having this important railway built in the possession of the commercial organization, prompt and liberal re? sponses to the call of the Chamber of Commerce will bring quick and satisfactory results. This tale, like many others, has its moral. There arc entirely too many business men in Sumter who arc not free in "loosening up" as they say with their cash when it comes to pro. moting Sutnter's prosperity. Already in the land can he heard complaints from those who are easily "bled" for Sumter's good that there are entirely too many "tight wails" in Sumter who participate in the benefits derived from the liberality and public spirit of the good natured minority. "No man has a right to live unto himself, particularly with his cash, and nap the benefits, like a drone, from the energy and public spirit of his fellow citizens." Then; ought to be some way to reach the selfish individual, like Mayor Jennings "hooked" the "tax dodgers" several years ago. The way to get the Sumter-Turbe villc.Olanta railway is for the ma? jority, not the minority, to bear the burden of the achievement of this much desired trade Increaser for Sumter's business men.
