Board of Health Wrathy.
The entire board of health of Union
has resigned as the result of the clash
between the local authorities and the
cotton mill people about smallpox.
Resolutions were passed denouncing
the author of the circular signed by
T. G. Duncan, president of the cotton
mills, so far as reference is made to the
board, as ''cowardIy and slanderous
liar-cowardly, in that he confessed to
each of US that his circular was a
bluff, and slanderous in that he sought
falsely to injure rs for the aggrandize-
ment of his interests. "
The board charges Governor Nc
Sweeney with failure to cooperate
and meet the issue bravely and in a
manly way, and denounces DR.. Evans,
head of the state board, for profess
sional discourtesy in practically plac-
ing DR.. Duncan in charge of the vacci-
nation. They charge the governor
with being more interested in re-elec-
ton than the enforcement of law and
order, and says: "Whereas, we real
ize Duncan representing million and
half dollars in corporated capital, is
more potent factor in politics than
the board of health. {"
They further charge Duncan with
violating the law by interfering with
the board of health in. the legal dis
charge of its duties and delaying, him
dering and interfering with imperative
vaccination.
Club Chartered.
A charter has been issued to the
Business Mems Club, of Orangeburg.
The corporators named are: James
NJ. Oliver, Otto W. Spahr and O. B.
Rosinger. The association is for bus
mess and social purposes.
