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.

Cattle tu Florence Coumty Bought up
at Private Trading.
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.
