ceive great overflow advantages.
There is nothing selfish about Abbeville.
We do not want State appropriation for our
own benefit, but we are anxious for resultant
advantages to other cities, and especially to
the farmers in every part of hesitate. 1t is
true that Abbeville has subscribed literally
to the carnival. but If we had State aid, we
could do great deal towards building up
such towns as Charleston. And'we all want

procession which Abbevile heads, There is
nothing like State appropriation, except OF

The Spartanburg Herald has the following
to say OF Governor McSweeney's action in
the Union smallpox matter:
Governor McSweeney makes very clear,
explicit and satisfactory statement In regard
TO his action in the Union smallpox matter.
The structures on him by the Union Board of
Health appear to be unjust in the extreme"
The publication by the Union Board OF
Health was foolish in the extreme. Their
only ground of complaint was lack OF their
idea of the proper regard by others of medi-
cal ethics. A stickler for medical ethics Is
too often ignorant of medicine.
