TO HAVE HEALTH ?VRVLY. Stole Health Officer to Send Men Here to Teach Sanitary Measures? Urges Need of County Health Offi? cer. Dr. J. A. Heyne, State Health offi? cer, has assured Secretary Reardoo, of the Chamber of Commerce that the State Board of Health will have a complete health survey and educa? tional campaign of Sumter township made early in the summer of the prssent year. The health survey will consist of a . house to house visit by three govern? ment expert sanitary inspectors who will Instruct householders how to maintain proper sanitary conditions. Dr. Hayne says that he hopes to keep these three Inspectors In Sumter township for at least threo months. Secretary Reardon asked for a Unit? ed States government heilth nurvey of the1 entire county of Sumter, such sa Is being; conducted in Greenville county. But the federal government would not make the survey In any county that does not have a county health officer and county hoalth board. Dr. Hayns, however, was glad of the opportunity to have what ia known as the "unit health survey" made in Sumter township. The object of selecting Sumter township as the most important and thickly populated part of the county, as explained by the commercial secre? tary, is that in his years ol experience as the Sumter city health officer, he realised that there are many hundreds of houses and other buildings and premises just outside of 8umter that are thickly populated with human be* bigs and animals. And that within, this adjacent suburban territory there la practically no ouch thlni: as aanltav {on or sanitary .supervision of any Ind except when there occurs a sporadic outbreak of smallpox which the State Board of Health requires the, jounty authorities to look after. ,? But unfortunately most of the more Serious or deadly types of Infectious and contagious diseases auch as tuberr oSilosis, typhoid and malarial fever, fcgrlppe, diphtheria, scarlet fever and, gindred malignant types of contagious elteases are not reported, quarantin? ed, or disinfected simply because there are no township or county health au-, fhorltlea to report to and no one to do anything if they are reported. It la true that the attending physi? cians in the rural districts where there are no county health officers, have exofflcio authority of a health of? ficer to enforce quarantine, disinfect, I etc., but this Is an unsa?sfactc y and I very poor method of protecting the I public health, because row physicians' Iears to assume the responsibilities and duties of a public health officer I without pay. And further more a practicing physician, la a business man, and he naturally doesn't care to jeopardise his practice or profes? sional business interests by making any one mad enforcing quarantine'' laws by causing the arrest of those who fail to carry out hie instructions* for protecting the public health. a As a result it not Infrequently hap? pens that children from Infected houses just outside the city limits at? tend schools in the city until the teachers learn of the infectious or Contagious disease at the house out aide the city and atop the children from coming to school. In the mean? time the damage ia often 'done by the apread of disease germs or bacteria through the Infected clothing, hair, hands, etc. of the children from the Infected sone. There are many other methods of Infection and contagion from the un? protected and quarantlneless Infected suburban territory to the city by meana of files, mosquitoes, washing being done in the infected zone for | city people infected articles of various kind brought to the city, Infected produce, etc. Dr. Hayne said to Mr. Reardon that he had hoped auch a wdiely known and progressive county as Sumter county is known to be would have long ago been one of the first coun? ties to establish the office of county health officer, and he has been very much surprised at Sumter county not having such an official and county health board. Just as soon as the health survey In a township in Florence county Is completed Dr. Hayne says he will have two more inspectors, to place with the one he has In another capacity, and all three will bo sent to Sumter town? ship. Dr. Hayne thinks that the sanitary survey will result in showing the im? portance of a county health officer, and the appointment of such an offi? cial. VILLA WILL DIE FIGHTING.

Florence, March 20.?There will not be a aale of live stock in Florence on the 29th, as was advertised and pro? posed last fall, when this city was se? lected as one of the concentration markets. The reason for this is that the people of this part of the coun? try have disposed of the cattle that they had and a number of them did not have faith enough to get up any cattle for the sale. Cattle are selling in Baltimore now at nine cents on the hoof, and the rates are very low, so that the seller here could have got? ten good prices for his cattle if he had held them, but feed was high, and he sold at three and, four cents, and has lost. In the Piedmont country, where they have had more experience with this working of Clemson Col? lege and the government agencies, they have held their cattle, and there will be sales, but this one has been called off after a conference between Mr. Long and representative business men of the community here on Saturday. The first sale will be held next winter, when it is expected that tb^ere will be a good many cattle to offer, and the people will have learn? ed a lesson from their experience of this year. The plans of Clemson col? lege were frustrated by buyers who went through the country and bought up all the stock that they could, and much of this stock will be sold on the concentration markets in the upper part of the State. The buyer will realise a good profit on his invest? ment counting in the freight and oth? er expense of his collection. ' A great many farmers have gone Into the business of cattle raising, 'however, and good beef type bulls have been distributed in all the coun? ties around here, and better class of milk cows, so that the scrub cattle will be sold off by the next sale day. If the work of Clemson and Win? throp is kept up in this section as it has started, there will be plenty of milk and butter, plenty of beef cattle, plenty of hogs and plenty of chickens to be had through here in another ?year. The school children are all busy on these lines, and that is where modern reforms in farming are hav? ing their beginnings these days.
