Debt OF south Carolina ami Other ssutI,-

New York Chronicle !


During the present year, MS is well known.
n new and unusual attention has been given
TO the subject of the defaulted State debts,
and special efforts-not so successful as IL was
hoped they would be, but not yet concluded
have been made to secure an amicablc and
honorable adjustment. A matter Of consid-
erable interest in this connection is the action
this week Of the South Carolina Senate,
striking out the section of the appropriation
bill appropriating 1910 900 for payment Of the
interest on its funded debt. 1t will be remem-
bered that there was long and exciting con-
test over this provision III the House, but it
was finally adopted; now, however, tho Sen
ate has reversed this action.
Eight Southern States, having an area Of
3o5, ,460 square miles, owe nearly $500 900, 600
on their bonds, which stand here at a nominal
price from 80 down to 2, and had not the stir
ring events since 1860 accustomed us tn
strange things We should be startled and ap-
pallcd by these quotations. Such figures are
eloquent to every mind which reflects "a mo-
ment They mean either the absence Of hon
eSty or the overthrow Of industry. This pros
trate condition Of States credit is inconsfst-
ent with prosperity, for prosperity is imposgi-
BILE while it lasts, and would instantly change
it; it is the baldest proof Of the opposite con-
dition, and yet there is not only one "pros-
trate State" but eight Of them. Nothing but

Making as tho aggregate for the entire

. . S+J
As the aggregate 10 larger than what can prob
ably be spent this present season, the committee
respectfully recommended that the repairs un-
dertaken be confined principally to the houses
actually occupied and in use by the officers and
subordinates on constant duty at the station,
Col Hardis and DIR. Chopin were appointed
to superintend the repairs at the Quarantine sta
tons.
After adopting the following resolution, offered
by Mr. Mott, the board adjourned until next
Thursday:
ItesotDed, That 40 q sanitary measure the
Board OF Health respectfully request and urge
the City Administrators 10 have all the sIuices
opened, 80 as TO allow the water to flow from the
Mississippi river iato the cutters OF this city;
also to have the .sluices bpilt opposite such
streets as have none.
The present board, under The energetic leader
ship OF DR.. Samuel Chopin, ,gare determined to
make, IL possible, the instiintion self-sustaining,
and everything will be done 10 increase the re-
ceipts under the law and decrease the expendi-
tures Before this year the city Of New Orleans
had to appropriate fully $4,000 per annun TO
sustain the board. This year, nothing like this
sum will be required. Already the receipts OF
the Recorder OF Births and Deaths has shown g.
large increase over that Of other years, and will
probably net about s100 600.
The disposition OF this board is 10 enforce
very strict quarantine, and every known protec-
tive measure agsinst the INVASION of fever will be
used,
