POLITICAL POINTERS.

The next State campaign promises
n be full of interest and excitement.
Although it is long way OFT yet
there is a good deal of speculation
aoing on as to who will figure in the
contest. Various gentlemen more
or less prominent in public affairs
have been mentioned as prospective
candidates, and doubtless some OF
them are grooming themselves tor
the race:
1t is the opinion of some OF the
leading men that the prohibitionist
will name ticket and make a fight,
and that Mr.. Featherstone will lead
the forces. The splendid fight he
made last year has given him con-
siderable prominence and ne IS re-
parded as the best man to carry the
prohibition banner. Mr.. Feather
stone is young man of known abll
ity and would no doubt make an ac-
ceptable governor, but we do not be-
lieye he could be elected. The prohi-
to overcome opposing forces, and
there is not man in the State who
could get elected on that platform.
However great may be Mr.. Feather
stones prominence and popularity,
and however able and aggressive he
may wage his campaign, there is no
chance of his election to the guber.
material chair on the prohibition
ticket. We are not opposed to pro-
hibition if it can be successfully en-.
forced, but until public sentiment is
educated up to the point where the
people will give the law their active
support, its enactment is inexpedient
and undesirable. Unfortunately that
time has not come in South Carolina,
and any candidate posing as the ex-
ponent Of the prohibition doctrine
can not be considered as a material
factor in the race.
~
Ex-Governor Sheppard, of Edge
field, is spoken of as a prospective
aspirant for gubernational honors,
and there are many people in South
Carolina who would be delighted to
see him elected. This distinguished
gentleman has all the ability and ex-
perience necessary to fill the Office
,acceptably, and we believe he would
give the people an able and satisfac-
tory administration. lie has clean
record and stands sans pcur ct sans
reprochc. But it is said that he is
aot in full sympathy with the dispen-
sary law and for this reason the ad-
soeates Of that institution would
strongly oppose his candidacy. This
great octopus seems to be mighty
factor in South Carolina politics. and
the man who dares to raise his voice
sgainst it blights his prospects for

patients with diphtheria, was used in nearly
all the cases which recovered and not in
those which died. 1t was used in all the
cases Of membraneous Group which recover
ed and in none Of those which died.
While we have not comparative statistics
for typhoid fever for two full years, having
commenced July /, 1898, it appears from a
comparison of seasons, that there are many
new centres of infection for 1899 and that the
disease is more prevalent in the towns than
in 1898. A great maj iority of the cases could
be traced to impure water supplies. The
percentage Of deaths, in the number of cases,
is higher than it should be. The Town
Council Of Elkton in July passed an ordi-
nance requiring periodical cleaning of
priyies, sinks, cesspools, ETC., in place of the
stereotyped post mortem ordinance which
directed a cleaning when they "become
offensive tc the neighborhood. This is the
only ordinance of the kind in the county; it
might well be copied in other towns. This
ordinance and the improved drainage account
for the remarkable decrease OF cholera in
fantum, dysentery and other diarrhoeal dis
eases during the summer of 1899 and a de-
cline In the death rate of tho town from
nearly 10 to about II per 1000.
The above statistical report is not full.
There are enough derellcts among the physi-
clans who send in tardy and incomplete re-
ports to decrease its value. A burial permit
should be required in all cases of interment.
1t should be issued upon the presentation ol
proper certificate upon which the physician
should write the cause of death after the
other data are collected by the family or the
undertaken.
