To the Editor of THE HERALD:
Rumor says that the fearful disease
the spotted fever" has again invaded !
the CITY of Mount Pleasant once desc |
lation and a scourge to that city and
Spring City, this county. Unable to en-
ter into the cause why and wherefore
there are, nevertheless, some apparent
causes, chiefly the water courses, the
main supply Of drinking and for culin-
airy purposes.
The extent and area of farms now
upon all the streams leading to the
cities named cause impurities to flow
from corrals, etc., to the city. The
4 water courses within the city pass
through and by corrals and stables
situated Immediately on the sidewalks,
emitting not only stencil, efhuvia and
eowings but rendering the water doubly
impure.
There exists an ordinance in one OF
' the cities that no corral. ETC., shall be
! near or on stream or water course say
