to have the hands and arms clean,
and TO exclude from the milking any
person with contagious disease.
Milk vessels should have few seams,
and these should be flushed with SOL
der. The milk pail should be partly
closed to lessen the exposure@of falling
germs. All vessels should be well
washed and, If possible, treated with
live steam for at least ten minutes.
Where steam is not available, they
should be washed in lukewarm water
with an alkali like sal soda, then
scalded, and turned upside down on a
shelf exposed to sunlight, and allowed
to stand until used again.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
or the City Democratic Club Eelected
Last Week.


Last Week.
From The Daily Item Auril 4.
The mass meeting Of citizens for the
purpose Of electing the City Demo-
cratic Executive Committee in the
court house at $3.50 o'clock last night
was poorly attended. 1t is surprising
to note the lack of interest manifested
in such events. An election was, nev-
ertheless, held, which resulted as fol-
lows:
From the City at Large-Major Ma
rion Noise.
From Ward 1-E. c. Haynsworth
and Edgar Skinner.
From Ward 2.-J. H. Clifton and l..
D. Jennings.
From Ward SC. NJ. Hurst and H.
A. Moses.
From Ward 4-E. H. Rhame and
]. w. McIver.
The matter Of representation in the
city council by wards was introduced
by Mr.. Hugh C. Haynsworth. It was
suggested by him that it would be
wise for Sumter to adopt the plan fol-
lowed by Greenville, that Of. having
council composed Of an equal number
Of members from each ward to be
voted for by the city at large. This
plan would prevent ward politics from
entering into the primary.
The matter was considered of such
great moment that it was deemed ex-
pedient to wait for a larger meeting
before any definite step in inaugural
my any departure from the beaten
path. A meeting was accordingly
called for April 18th at $50 o'clock.
If the court is then sitting at that time
the meeting will be held ir the opera
