YOURS TO COUNT ON,
McKennon & Nichols.
AN EXPENSIVE "NECEssITY."

We are indebted to Rams Horn
for the following: 1T is fact that
the two generals who have won for
Great Britain the only important
success which that nation can boast
of as yet in South Africa, are the
ones who have taken radical and I'M
compromising ground on the subject
of the use of liquor in the English
army. Lord Kitchener had not been
long in the Soudan when he saw
clearly that in that climate at least,
alcoholic beverages would sap the
vigor and weaken the moral force,
which, combined with physical
strength, makes up that necessary
factor in war which is called valor
Therefore, be established strict
prohibition throughout his entire
force, and was then enabled to lead
any army of teetotalers to victory.
The experience of Lord Roberts
in India was not different. He con-
clusively proved that % 900 soldiers
-abstainers-could put into the field
1000 more effective troops than
could any army of $4,000 drinkers. In
other words, one soldier who is not
allowed to use liquor Is worth more
than two soldiers who have access to
the fiery potion. 1t this is true, it is
not surprising that it requires an
army of $4,000 Americans to put down
the so-called rebellion in the Phil.
lippines. 1t the meantime our peo-
pie are finding the canteen to be an
expensive necessity.

THE HERALD Is not fully in
formed "a to the trouble between
Mr.. w. G. Rainey and the men who
destroyed his toll gate and toll
house near Mt. Pleasant; but we
know this, this manner or procedure
is to be condemned. We do not
know who waI in fault about locat-
ing the gate; it may have been put
at the wrong place, and may have
worked hardship upon some;
it might have been better for all
concerned for the gate to have
been open to those who travel the
dirt road some distance and the pike
but little way; these questions of
dispute we do not understand well
enough to discuss, much less to de-
eide. But this we know, that such
matters should be settled by ar
bitration or in the courts according
to law, and not in passion by mob
| force. Laws are sometimes wrong,
but mob law is never right. 1t will
not do to have the reproachful toll
gate history of Kentucky repeated
in Tennessee; and il it must, then
let some other county than Maury
bear the stigma of the disgrace.
However those who know the facts
may sympathize with those who
feel themselves agrieved by the loca
ton of .he new gate, no thoughtful,
good citizen can approve their
method of Kidding themselves of it.

THE SMALLPOX SITUATION.

The HERALD is asked several
times a day how the smallpox cpl.
demic in Columbia is progressing ;
whether 1t is growing better or
worse.
We cannot answer, because we
cannot find out. And yet the people
have right to know, and the
HERALD is perfectly willing to in
form them, from day to day, II 1t
CON obtain information from sources
entirely reliable and trustworthy.
Whatever trouble may have been in
their way heretofore, we submit there
il nothing In the way now to prevent
the Board of Health from placing
yellow flags wherever there is n
smallpox patient. The publ" will
not only back them in this, but the
public is even demanding it of them.
We are not disposed to thresh over
old straw and complain that this
has not been done heretofore, but in
the name of the public and in be-
half of the people, we shall insist
that it be done now.
1t has been advertised to the
world that Columbia has an cpl
demic of smallpox. 1t Ia but fair
for the official figures to show how
bad an epidemic it is. 1t is but
right for the people to know whether
it is growing better or worse It is
but just to the business interests of
the community to stare whether it
is abating or increasing.
The HERALD thinks that an Off
cial announcement made an signed
by the President and Secretary Of
the Board, should be given to the
public through the press, every day.
1t should state the exact number of
cases to begin with. who and where
they are, and the new cases and
number of deaths from day to day.
AS it is now, all sorts of eXagge-
rated rumors are flying over the
county, to the serious damage of
Colun.bia's business interests. Let
the truth be shown by an official re-
port every day from the President
and Secretary OF the Board of
Health, and the truth will contra
dict the falsehoods set afloat by de
signing OF excited individuals.
The work of the Board from now
on should be so prompt and thorough
that the yellow flag will settle all
disputes and stop all rumors. If the
yellow flag is up, there is smallpox
there; if the yellow flag is not up,
there is no smallpox there. That is
the duty of the Health Board under
the law; and it is their duty to the
BUSH esq interests of this city. The
people will then know where to go,
where not to go. There will then be
reliable source of Information
where now there is none.

In our news columns, the county will
furnish the virus and the physicians

That arrangement will continue for
while, then those who will not avail
themselves of it, will be compelled
to be vaccinated by the County
Health officer or one of his assist
aats. Smallpox having been de-
clared an epidemic in this town and
county, this is not only a reasonable
but an entirely proper order for the
Board Of Health to make, and
should be respected by everyone. 1t
matters not what your individual
opinion may be as to the disease or
the danger, no man should stub
