Health Regulations.

Now that the spring season is ap-
proaching, our city authorities
should take steps to have the town
put in good sanitary condition at
once. We regret to say that not
enough attention is paid to this
here, and, while the health of our
people is excellent, we should not
invite disease. We have had several
complaints along this line, and we
feel sure our citizens would not OBJ
ject to paying an extra tax if neces-
sary in order that the town may be
kept clean. Let each citizen also
do his part, and clean up his prem
ise; without delay.

ture of the trouble or the gravity of the
situation. but Governor McSweeney acted
Immediately, determining to take no
chances. He wired the sheriff of Orange

and instructed him to proceed at once
to Neeces and see that the proper protec-

to the place on Wednesday night and
threatened everybody that lived in this
place and cursed out the whole white race
and colored race for all sorts of things,
and sent down word that they would
come back and fix us ALL So they came
shooting and hollering, and ran
the people from their work, and left word
that they would be back tomorrow. Advise
US or send us troops to protect us.

1t is very hard to stand idly by and see
our dear ones suffer while awaiting the
arrival of the doctor. An Albany (N. l.)
dairyman called at drug store there for
4 doctor to come and see his child, then
very sick with Group. Not finding the
doctor in, he left word for him to come at
once on his return. He also bought L
bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,
which he hoped would give some reliet
until the doctor should arrive. In few
hours he returned, saving the doctor need
not come, as the child was much better.
The druggist, Mr.. Otto Scholz, says the
family has since recommended Chamber
lain $ Cough Remedy to their neishhors
and friends until he has 4 constant de-
mand for it from that part of the country.
For sale by all druggists and medicine
dealers.

Olar Briefs.

OLAR, March l7.-Again has the
small pox scare reached our town. A
second time our trustees have closed
the public school, as Il quarantine
regulation. 1t was proclaimed t" he
small po1, the genuine article; so
pronounced by DR.. F. W. Chitty.
Upon inquiry, the Doctor positively
denies the statement. He had not
even seen single case. DR.. N. F.
Kirkland assured every one that the
three cases we're only chicken pox of
the mildest form. About oneday Of
sickness in bed, and it was over.
The great evil done here is the wild
imagination excited, causing the
stopping of our school.
1t is not pity that the great
university Of the people-the free
schools so managed that every
local malady must reloract to the
injury of the future citizens of the
commonwealth, our innocent chill,

Last week at her step fathers,
Geo. B. Aver, Miss Annie Green's
apron ignited from fire in the yard.
While the flames were reaching her
face, she deliberately tore. the apron
from her, breaking the band. She
did not run. TO have done so meant
certain death, rs the winu was blow
ing. The young lady exhibited re-
markable presence of mind and rare
GOODNESS.
Olar now owns manufacturing
plant. j. B. Joyner & Go. have es-
tablished a shingle mill near town,
on the Salkehatchie swamp. 1t will
require ten hands to furnish blocks
and run the mill, and the capacity
of the mill is said to be twenty thou
sane shingles per day. The shingle
is a superior article. 1t is nearly
as smooth us dressed lumber. | re-
gard it better shingle than that
produced by the Florida mills. The
supply of cypress timber in the Sal
kehatchle is almost unlimited. 1t
cuts for northern markets.
The. attention of Mr.. Lewis Schel
der, Il farmer here, was attracted by
some buzHlrds in his field. Upon
closer observation he discovered a
coon acting very queerly. The coon
attacked COW. lie jumped upon
her head and scratched and bit her
on head aid nose. The COW tossed
him furiously from her. On draw
;nct no.ror to his surnrisa the coon
took after and ran him and his
nephew. Realizing their danger
the two found safety in flight. Sc
curing his gun he returne,! and shot
it. There can be no doubt but that
the coon had hydrophobia. Hunters
tell us of hydlophobic foxes that
the dogs will not run.

killed mad dog on our streets.
