not actuated by any desire to prevent keen.
ing OF hog pens out 10 the couu,ry where
tney properly belong. but simply TO abate a
nuisance which was Offensive to the citizens
or sumter living near the pens. These hoe
pens were forced out Of the city by myself as
nea'th otfieer, as ell other hogs we're, and for
which other officials got the credit, and |
received tho viii6cation and abuse of the hog
owoers of Sumter. was Informed that
tnose bog pens were Intentionally placed as
near to Republican street and the citv limits
ss possible for spite, and that they we're pur.
purposely neglected in order to render them
as offensive as possible think I am iusti.
ned in seeing that como one in authority will
prevent offensive nuisaucss on the outskirts
OF the city. 10 fact, I am compelled fire..
quently to 60 out of the city TO induce peo.
pie to abate nuisanccs
The ruoniog Of the hogs out of Sumter
created considerable hard feelings and no
man made more enemies than did. Every
effort was made to evade the law and to have
1t repealed, and 1t was only after l began to
swear out warrants as Health Officer against
violators Of the Law and have them before the
Mayor that the hog owners realized that the
Health Officer at least intended to put the
hogs out, and. Mr.. Editor, I alone dii put
them out, and as long as I remain as Health
Oficer the hogs will stay eat, because the
law go requires.
When smallpox broke out over Green
Swamp in October, 1898. and Infected tho
outskirts of tbs lefty up to the city limits, I
went and fought the 6lthy, losthsome disease
and exposed myself and my family to the
dread disease, and ! was docked 90 the pay
roll for each aud every minute that speut
ont Of the city, yet kept the smallpox out
Of the City of Sumter aud no one objected to
"extendiog my sphere of action at that time"
l make this statement to show why acted az
did and intend to see that all nuiauces
whether Intentionally or other wise placed az
close to the limits as possible, be abatsd.
