A small pox epidemic has broken
out at Mayesville, in Sumter county.
Governor Ellerbe has been notified of
the outbreak and has ordered the
State Board of Health to take
charge and to use all necessary
means to stamp out the disease. The
very first step that should be taken
as means to this end is to isolate
and confne patients and suspects so
as to prevent them from roaming all
over creation, carrying the loatbsome
disease on their persons and in their
clothes and spreading it wherever
they go. This itineracy of persons
afflicted with contagious diseases is
a fruitful vehicle of conveyance of
the germs of epidemics which con-
teammates whole communities, coun-
ties and States, populsting the silent
cities of the dead with victims of
contagion whose earthly careers have
been ended frop causes directly trace
able, in many instances, to the crimi-
nal carelessness and supreme indif-
ference Of municipal authorities,
health officers and physicians.

business together with his love for
farm life and resumed his farming
and mercantile businesses at Sum,

suits until 1883, when he was Undue
ed to accept the Office Of County
Treasurer in which capacity he salts
factolialy served for four terms, being
nominated each time in primary
elections in which he received about
3 votes to l for his opponents. In
1897 be resigned this Office to take
his seat in the State Senate. This
is the incompatible war and polltl-
cal record Of tbe man whom Lexing-
ton county puts forward for the
office of Superintendent Of the State
Penitentiary and confidently appeals
to her sister counties for their sup
port in his behalf.

crate Veterans had been organized
in this county to form a regiment

Lexington county has heretofore
asked no favors at the hands OF the
State Democratic party. She has
been conterted to give handsome
Democratic majorities and has un-
complainingly given her earnest and
undivided support to the nominees
of that party. She was among the
first of the counties to throw OF the
yoke of Radicalism, and thus earned
the name of 'sThe State of Lexin-
tom, which name she proudly bears
until this day, and put herself in
in position to assist other counties
to redeem themselves. But now the
time has arrived when, according to
all the principles Of fairness and
Justice, she asks at the hands of the
State Democracy favor, not as a re-
ward for what she has done or hopes
to do, but as a fitting recognition OF
her devotion to Democratic princi-
pies, and that favor is the election OF
Senator D. j. Griffith as Superinten-
dent of the State Penitentiary, and
in doing this the Legislature will not
only honor US but honor the State of
South Carolinas as well.

To Prevent Dissertation of the Flag.

A joint meeting of committees appointed
by all the patriotic orders and societies Of
the Union was held at City hall in New
York the 18th of February. At this meet
ing it was unanimously resolved to recon-
mend and urge the passage by congress Of
the bill introduced into the senate January
10, by Senator Hansbrough. The bill
reads as follows:
''Be it enacted by the senate and house
of representatives of the United States OF
America in congress assembled, That the
national flag or the coat of arms of the
United States, or any imitation or repre-
sentation thereof, shall not be attached to
or imprinted or represented upon any
goods, wares or merchandise or any adver-
tisement of the same and no goods, wares
or merchandise OF any advertisement OF
the same, shall be attached to the national
flag or the coat of arms of the United
States and no such advertisement shall be
imprinted thereon. Any violation of this
act shall be punishable on conviction in
either of the circuit or district courts of the
United Safes or the supreme court of the
District of Columbia or the courts of the
territories, within their respective jurisdic.
tons, by fine of $50 for each offense."
This measure will recommend itsel
| strongly to those who wish the nationa
ensign to be considered as emblema'ic o.
other things than the Yankee spirit o.
trade.
