Mild DiphtheriG
Escapes Notice,

Asked fer his professional opinion, as

Alfred Townsend. the author. iu q local
paper. that the roots of trees grow into
the sewers. dam the sewage causing
sewer gases 10 escape, contaminated
with contagious dlphtheria germs, which
was the probable cause Of the illness of
young Roosevelt and the closing of the

Woodward, Health officer Of the Dis
trict, said yesterday:
Health Ofice1's Opinion.
'Diphtheria depends upon two things.
One is the diphtheria bacillus. The other
is the susceptible animal body There
is no reason for believing diphtheria
bacili find their way into our sewers in
numbers that are other than indnitesi-
nal when the volume Of sewage is taken
into consideration.
There is no reason for believing that
such Of these germs as may be in sew
age can leave the medium with which
they are surrounded and enter The bodies
Of persons in the vicinity. L sewers
whether obstructed or not. have any
influence in the causatiOn of diphtheria
it must be by their power TO render
the human body more susceptible to the
growth Of the germ, by the action OF the
polluted air that they give Off
I do not believe that the occasional
obstruction OF our sewers by tree roots
or otherwise, gives rise to such an out
pouring of sewer air as to influence
materially the prevalence Of diphtherla
in this District, even if sewer air does
so at all.

NEGRO WAS NOT DUNBAR.
.Salley Citizens Returns From Their

AIKEN, August 6.-Messrs Living

to identify the negro who was ar
rested there on suspicion of being
Fred Dunbar, have returned. Mr..
Keel was seen by The News & Courier
correspondent and he states positive
ly that the man was not Dunbar,
though he was identified by Mr.. Burt
Culbertson as the right man. Both
Messrs. Keel and Livingston testified
at the hearing that the man under
arrest was not Dunbar, and it is
stated that the man has since been
released on bond, he being wanted
there on a charge.
Judges Jakes H. Edison, Of Salley,
was in the city yesterday and he
stated that some Of the officials Of

worked for Messrs Keel and. Living
ston for quite while and they are

Horse Dealing.

Two or three generations ago DR..
Samuel Reed was one of the proml-
nent physicians of Boston. His slarge
practice included many patients out
side of the city limits, and these ne
visited in his buggy.
One day he bought a new horse,
with which he was much pleased un-
til he discovered that the animal had
an insurmountable objection to
bridges of all kinds and could not be
made to cross one.
AS at this period it was necessary
to cross some bridges in order to
reach any one of the surrounding
towns, the doctor decided to sell the
horse. He did not think it necessary
to mention the animals popularity,
but was much too honest to misrep-
resent him and, after some thought,
produced the following advertise
ment, which he inserted in a local
paper:
ForSale-A bay horse, warranted
sound and kind. The only reason for
selling is because the owner is obliged
to leave Boston. .''-Lippincott's.

TOSSES GOLD INTO RIVER.

St. Louis Capitalist Throws $1,000
Away to Keep From Drowning.
Somewhere in the bottom Of the Mo-
lave river in California lie two sacks
containing $500 in gold each. George
81. Dunham, a st. Louis capitalist,
tossed the money into the river to save
himself from drowning.
Dunham had been on the desert with
Paul Biddle, a mining promoter, to
look at a group Of claims. Samples Of
ore from the group had 50 pleased him
that he promised to pay Biddle $1,000
IN gold for an interest in the claims
If they proved satisfactory after he
had made a personal inspection Of
them.
Dunham had the money in sacks and
buckled the sacks into the inside pock-
cts of q heavily lined khaki coat. AS
the men were fording the Mojave river
their wagon was overturned, and Dun
ham was swept downstream.
While struggling against the current
the weight of the gold handicapped
him,-and after a desperate effort to
reach shore With it he finally released
the treasure. l..
Biddle and the team easily gained
shore. He was much disturbed over
the loss Of the money, and he and
Dunham spent half day dragging the
river bottom, but without result. 1t is
Biddle's belief that the money Will
never be recovered, for the sands, he
says. will completely bury it.

Well Equipped.

The morning after the wreck OF
one of the fast trains running be-
tween New York and Chicago, an
old farmer was standing on the bank
of the river into which the train had
plunged, intently watching the Wa
ter. ...>
A stranger approached, and natur-
ally the conversation reverted to the
wreck and the fortunate escape of
all the passengers.
s'It was the costliest train in the
world" informed the stranger.
Yes grunted the other, still
watching the stream.
'And also the best equipped" the
newcomer continued.
'sNo doubt about it, - assented the
old farmer. ''I've fshed a dozen
bottles out of the water already"

Good Roads and Prosperity.

Nothing stimulates home trade like
good roads. In many parts of the
country the farmers are practically
shut off from the town during the wet
season. The wives and daughters of
the farmer find it inconvenient to make
frequent trips to town during these
months, so they naturally resort to the
mail order catalogue for part OF
their shopping. The result is that home
merchants lose trade which they might
get If the roads were better.
