As Mayor Wilson is an applicant
for appointment to the Office of Mas
ter and will undoubtedly receive the
appointment, there has been more or
less discussion in reference to the
selection of his successor. It is
stated on good authority that there
can be no election to fll vacancy
in the City Council when member
dies or resigns, there being no pro-
vision in the charter for such an
election T';s point was investi-
gated by the city attorney during the
term of Office of the Council previous
to the present, when vacancies were
caused BY the resignation Of Alder
man C. NJ. Hurst, Jr., and the death
Of Alderman Monaghan, and he gave
an opinion that the law does not au-
thorize special election to fill
vacancies. This being so, when
Mayor W ilson resigns to accept the
office of Master, special election to
choose his successor cannot be order
ed, and the duties of the Office will
devolve upon the Mayor pro tenn.
When the present Council was or
ganized Alderman John S. Hughson
was elected Mayor pro tenn, and he
will therefore sbecome Mayor upon
the resignation Of Mayor Wilson.
We are well pleased with the situa.
tion, and unless we mistake public
sentiment majority of the people Of
Sumter feel as We do. We are glad
to escape municipal election. for
two years is a short enough period
to elapse between the strife and wor-
.ry of elections. Furthermore, DR.
Hughson will fill the Office as well as
any man that might be elected, and
his continuance in the Office to which
he will succeed on the retirement OF
Mayor Wilson will be highly salts.

How to Sit for Health.

Schools and physical culture are
now claiming that we as nation dc
not know how to sit correctly.
Americans they say, pay less atten-
tion to the hygiene of attitude in
sitting than do other nations, and the
consequence is that We are degen.
Grating into nation of dyspeptics.
In France and Germany school
children get regular course of
instruction az to correct attitude to be
adopted in sitting, aud in those coun-
tries stomach troubles are far less
prevalent than in countries where
no precautions are taken to teach
children to sit without relaxing them
selves
a relaxed position in citing, it is
said, causes the stomach to be
crowded out of position and after atime
the displacement becomes chronic
When tse stomach is proIapsed
the food can not readily find its way
out of it, and being retained there
longer than it should be undergoes
fermentation and putrefactions pro-
cesses are set up whereby the system
Is not only robbed of the nutrient
elements necessary for the proper
nourishmeut of the blood and repair
of the tissues. but through the con.
version of the food into potomaines
and other poisonous substances, the
whole body is contaminated.
On these grounds physicians who
.each physical culture assert that it
is not the ice water that we drink,
nor the soda water. nor the amount
of smoking that men folk indulge in
that cause us to be a nation of
dyspeptics, but the bad postures that
we adopt when sitting.
A correct attitude in sitting
requires proper height and width of
seat. desk or table Of proper
heigth when desk work is done, and
proportionate amount of care upon
the part of the pupil to sit upon his
seat in proper position.
The height of the chair you sit in
while writing and that ofthe desk you
write at are matters of the greatest
impotaace. The seat of the chair
should be exactly one quarter of your
height from the floor Thus. if you
are five feet high, the chair seat
should be Is inches.
The width of the seat should
exactly equal its height. and it should
slope backward three quarters of an
inch to the foot The back should be
trife higher than the seat and
sloped slightly, but not too much
Finally your desk should be two
thirds as high again as the seat Of
your chair. Thus if your chair seat
is Is inches, the desk should be 80
inches in height.
The relation of the person to the
seat shonld be such that while the
hips and shoulders touch the back of
the seat. the other portions of the
back remain clear The center Of
the back can not touck the back of
the seat without relaxation of the
chest, and resulting fatness of the
chest, and perhaps of the stomach,
provided, of course, the seat back
has backward curvature.
