GENERAL SANITATION.

The closing address of the evening was
by DR.. j. W. Scott, secretary of the Illinois
State Board of Health. DR.. Scott's address
was devoted to General Sanitation" and
he held that experience had shown that
efforts to extend and enlarge the powers
and authority of health officials based en-
tirely upon philanthropic and humanitarian
grounds had failed, and must be reduced TO
a business proposition. In Illinois he said
it was difficult to secure birth and death
returns outside of Chicago and few other
large cities in the State with any degree of
perfection. The prompt notification of the
appearance of contagious preventable dis
eases is of direct and practical value Leg
islatiVe enactment is not all that is neceS-
sary Conferences like the present one are
a frst-rate thing. One of the most i'm
portant duties devolved upon health au
thorities is TO warn the public OF danger.
Although establishment of sources of exact
and reliable information Is valuable and
necessary a houSe-to-house inspection of
cities towns and villages, as inaugurated
by the Illinois Health Board in 1888, is even
more valuable In 1885 there were 395 OF the
800 Illinois cities towns and villages, with
a total population of 1,025, 702 persons, made
sanitary inspection Of their houses and
premises. and 325 of the 800 made detailed
reports to the State board of the condi-
tons found The total number of houses,
etc. inspected was 222,SS5 The points de-
velOped by the inspection We're treated at
considerable length by DR.. Scott as bearing
upon his topic. For seven or eight years
past this house toulouse inspection has
been allowed to lapse very largely, but Dr.
Scott said the present board proposes TO
resume it as of the most important
agencies for the general sanitation of the
State The Doctor concluded by saying
that with reliable and prompt information
of the occurrence of contagious diseases,
accurate statistics Of births, deaths and
causes of deaths and detailed Information
upon the sanitary condition of all localities
the problem of efficient State sanitation de-
pended then for it's complete solution solely
upon active cooperation and the ability and
energy of the central directing body in us
ing the information at hand.
There was no general discussion of these
subjects, the conference adjourning soon
after the conclusion of DR.. Scott's address
until this morning. The forenoon session
to-day will be taken uD with a discussion
of Restriction and Prevention of DAN
gerous Communicable Diseases" Proven
ton of tuberculosis" and "Disinfection,
How Accomplished" and a paper by Dr.
Hugh A. Cowing, of Muncie on Manage
ment of an Outbreak Of Smallpox" In the
afternoon DR.. Rachel Swain, of this city,
will read a paper on Preventive Medicine"
and the conference will discuss the way
To maintain good sanitary conditions OF
| towns and cities. The afternoon proceed
ings will close the conference.

One Of Senator Irby's Jokes.

COLUMBIA, Septem Der. Ex-senator
Irby is reported to have gotten off the
following joke in Senator John Gary
Evans room last night in the hotel
Jerome, in the presence of large num-
Der of politicians:
"Boys, let me tell you something. I
have darky on my place who told me
a few days ago that be would catch me
some possums. The next morning he
came to the house and told me that be
had caught fifteen the night before. l
told him that l did not believe him,
when he asked me to 60 to his cabin,
and be would show them to me. did
so, and there 7 found that be had
caught fifteen for sure, an OLD one and
fourteen young ones, which clung to
her at different points. I never had
anything 10 remind me so much of
Till,nan before in my life. He was
represented by the old possum, while
the politicians, clipging all over him,
were represented by the young ones. I
Just made up my mind that would put
the whole family on exhibition, with
ribbons around their necks, labelling
each one. There was a good-sized little
fellow right on the neck of bis mother,
which l intend to label John Gary
Evans and little short tail fellow
right between the old ones legs. which
call John Gary Watts.'"
The appropriateness of the joke was
appreciated by all present, as WAS
evinced by the applause which follow
I'd it. The only question was, which
one of the small possums was lrby?
Senator Evans suggested mildly that
Irby was the mate to the mother pos
sum.

TO PUT 1T TO TIE TEST.
A New Phase of the Dispepsary Litigation.
An Order TO Erjoin the State Treas
urer from Paying out MGney.
GSpecial to News and Courier. I


COLUMBIA, Septimber S.-There was
new turn in the dispensary litigation
TO- day. State Treasurer Bates was
served with an order restraining him
from further payment of any claims 10
favor of the dispensary. The order
was sigued by Chief Justice McIver
and is made returnable at the special
session OF the Court which will be held
utxt Wednesday. The application for
the Injunction against Treasurer Bates
was gotten out by Mitchell & Smith,
and J. P. K. Bryan, representing Capt:
Melchers and others. AS the. case will
be heard at the same time with the
one from Aiken, it is expected that
Messrs Mitchell & Smith and Mr..
Bryan will appear in the case, especial Y
as the State is anxious to have the con-
stitutional!ty of the law thoroughly
ventilated.
A similar paper was sent here for
Commissioner Traxler, but be was out
of the city. DR.. Bates tonight said to
me that be had been paying out money
upon the written opinion of Attorney
General Buchanan and the opinion of
OuG - uOSC duO oiC - 0SI!SC. <A4A NJ IhS
papers were turned over to the Attor-
ney General, who left the city this
afternoon.
The idea of getting out an Injunction
against the State Treastrer against pay
ing out any money on account OF the
dispensary is not new. 1t was coDtem-
plated prior to the closing down of the
establishments. The present action
was, however, unexpected, as it was
thought that the lawyers who We're
going to participate in the fight would
come in on the Aiken case. The in
junction proceedings are expected to
bring forth an early decision. A copy
of the petition for an injunction was
left at the State dispensary for Com
missioner Traxler.
Superintendent MiXson turned the
batch of papers over to Attorney Cen
eral Buchanan without reading the
contents. He, however, managed to
get the money for the weekly pay roll
to-day. The petition, which is return
able next Wednesday, is quite a long
paper. Copies of it were not to be had
in Columbia, and Mr.. Bryan, who it
was understood would he in the city
tonight, did not make his appearance.
Unless an immediate decision is reached
the dispensary funds will be very much
tied up, as it is not likely that a JUS
tice would issue ''stay" in such case.

Origin OF the Word Honeymoon.

It was formerly custom among
Teutenic nations to drink liqnor
made from honey, and called hydro
mel, for a moving age IA month) after
the wedding feast. Hence the name
honeymoon" The Teutons knew
very little about treacle, as we learn
that the name Teutoni was given, $50
b. c., to r-ce of people who had long
been settled in the country, and in the
PROVINCES which are now known re-
spectively as Denmark and Schleswig.
Holstein, but which were then known
collectively as the Chersonesus Cinl'
brica. The Teutons may even have
brought the custom to England with
them when they came over the Kim
perian Bosporus, about $50 E. c.

The Rev. Samuel B. Jones, D. D.,
was born in Charleston December %,
1928. He attended some of the schools
of the city and graduated at the Citadel
Academy in lS47. Sixty entered the
class, but only four underwent the
duty and discipline necessary to
completion of the course. They were
Johnson Hagood, S. 3. Jones, L. E.
Heriot and John P. Sothern. After
graduation Mr.. Jones secured posi-
ton On the engineer corps of the Green
Vile aud Columbia Railroad. He re-
NAMED there three years. He was then
elected president of the Anderson
Female College, and held that position
until 1854, when he joined the South
Carolina Conference. For forty years
he has been a useful, honorable aud
influential member of that body.
He was engaged in active, effective
work until the day Of bis death. His
last work was closing the session of the
Columbia Female College in June.
During the war the people of AbbeVille
elected him tn the Legislature for two
terms. This did not interfere with his
ministerial duties. After the war be
was president of the Spartan burg
Female College and his management
was quite successful, notwithstanding
the devastated and demoraliZed condi-
ton of the country. He served as
president of the Columbia Female Col
Iege several years and handed in his
resignation at the close of the last
session because his health was failing.
He represented the conference four or
five times at the General Conference.
Since 1877 he has been one of the board
of visitors of the Citadel Academy.
The degree Of doctor of divinity was
conferred on him by Wohord College
in 1874.
He showed marked ability in the
manasemen of the Columbia Female
College. He looked carefully and wise
ly after every department from the
pantry to the paying off the debt which
hung over that institution. His discip-
line was systematic com dining parental
care and tenderness with rigid obser-
vance of all necessary regulations. Dur
ing all his years of teaching there was
never any unpleasant friction reported.

WHITE SUPREMACY"
Gen. Butler Uses Very Plain English,
Which is Hard on DeEnagogues. Who
Would Deceive the Masses.

Gen. NJ. e. Butler bas written the
following letter, addressed to the ed
itor of the Register, which, if it is pub
lished in that paper, will appear this
morning. The letter is one of the
most interesting documents that has
made its appearance during the cam
paign of this year, and the Senator
speaks from the shoulder in way that
cannot be mistaken:
To the Register: Judging from the
tenor of your correspondence and your
own comments there are quite num-
Der of "anxious patriots" who appear
deeply interested in my welfare, and
concerned about my future action. /
drop this line to reassure all ''enquir-
ing friends" that I am not after re-elec-
ton to the United States Senate, but
am after the corrupt ring now disgrace
ing the politics of the State. You dwell
with some emphasis on the Importance
of "white supremacy" You do not
exaggerate its importance, but "White
supremacy" does not mean ring rule
and the disfranchisemeDto of white tax
paying voters! the destruction, under
the forms Of law, of their rights and
liberties and property. These wrongs
do not acquire sanctity because the per-
petrators of them have white skins.
T did more in one day to establish
"white supremacy" in South Carolina,
than this entire gang of corrupt rings
tiers in their whole lives, and would do
more now to preserve it, but this ring
has prepared the way to destroy ''White
supremacy" 1t has severed the rela-
tions of the white people, and will not
permit of a reunion because when the
people get together again and look into
their affairs dispassionately, some of
these ringsters will 60 to the reniten-
tiary. Hence they villify aud slauder
every man who exposes their villainies
and corruption.
"White supremacy" is a very pre-
cious thing in this country, and /
would lament the day when it is lost,
if it ever should be, but if We are to be
robbed and plundered as we now are,
do not know that the color of the skin
of the robber makes it more bearable OF
palliates the offence.
So "you can say to your people,"
am not after the United States Senate,
but the ring and its villainies and that
am in for the war.
NJ. C. BUTLER.

A Beautiful Wedding Ceremony in Spartan
burg.
Especial to The State. !

SPARTANBURG, Sept. 5.-Dr. William
G.. Gillian and Miss Fannie Jones
Blake were united in marriage at the
home of the brides parents last night.
Their wedding was without a doubt
the prettiest home wedding ever ce!e-
brated in this city. Owing to the ILL
health of the brides mother, only the
most intimate friends of the couple
we're invited to be present.
AS the clock struck 9, Mr.. Harold
Doubleday, of Tryon, n. G., rendered
delightful flute solo, whose sweet
strains drifted into Mendlessohn's we'd
ding march, Mrs. Warren DuPre ac-
companying him on the piano. In the
meantime. ten bridesmaids, gowned IN
pink satin aud each bearing pink
holder formed in line in the dining
room, and at the first chord of the in
spring march, passed through the sit
ting room into the parlor. They en-
tered in the following order aud as
each couple reached the center of'the
room they separated, one going to the
right. the other to the left OF the bay
widow: Misses Bessie Jones. of Edge
field and Carrie Speights, of Greenville;
Misses Margaret Cotield and Louise
Heuneman; Misses Rhetta Leftwich
and Eva Petty; Misses Kinie Duncan,
of Uuion, and Margaret Law; Misses
Fay Twitty and Myra Whitney, of
Tryor. Miss May Lille Blake, the
maid of honor aud sister of the bride,
entered next, alone. She was gowned
very daintily in white silk and car led
u bouquet of white lilies. The bride,
upon, W hom all eyes were turned, came
next leaning on the arm of her father.
She is a very handsome woman and
looked regal in her wedding robes.
The groom met her in the center of the
room and together they walked to the
bay window, where Bishop Duncan
stood. The scene was almost bewitch-
ing. Soft pink lights from countless
waxen 'apers lent brightness to the
scene that seemed good omen.
Bishop Duncan pronounced the cere-
moLy assisted by Rev. W. w. Rogers.
After congratulations were extended a
sumptuous supper was served.
Miss Blake has multitude of friends
bere, for she possesses those womanly
qualities that endear her to young and
cid. She has been very active in
charity and church work and will be
much missed.

at the University 0: Virginia and then
