Civic League.

An unusual amount of sickness
among the members of the Civic
League at the time of the last meet.
ing, and the inclemence Of the
weather since, has prevented a meet
ing for some time. But now, after q
season of seeming idleness, grand
rally day" Of the League will be
held at the Fitting School chapel or
Thursday afternoon Of this week al
five o'clock. This is the regular
time for the monthly meeting, and
after the usual routine of business
is finished, it is proposed to hold q
regular health session.
With an unlimited supply Of pure
water furnished by our far-famed ar
tesian wells, there is no reason why
with proper attention given to the
sanitary conditions of the town,
Bamberg should not be an ideally
healthfu1 place. But to secure this
sanitary condition vigorous cam
paign must be conducted-just as is
being done all over the civilized
world-against improper drainage,
stagnant water on vacant lots,
filthy barnyards, weeds growing up
around the home, as well as unsani-
tary conditions around the premises.
In an article from the State the
following extract was taken from an
interview with a member of the
board of health of the Crescent City,
as to the danger and habits of the
house fly: ALREADY in our midst,
the house fly, the dirty fly, the ty-
phoid and cholera infantum fly, will
soon swarm in thousands and mil
lions, unless precautions are taken.
The house fly, which we were taught
in childhood to treat with kindness,
has been exposed. It's habits are
filthy. It breeds in stables and gar
bage pals and carries the filth it
revels in and tracks it across the
sugar, the butter and the beefsteak.
It is a nuisance. It must be extermi-
mated. The doctors have declared
war on the house fly. It PROBABLY
disseminates disease Of every kind.
1t can be drive.l out of every city.
In an age of knowledge, screens and
cheap disinfectants there is no ex-
cuse for flies in any household. Clean
up your premises and report to the
health department your neighbor
who does not. Get rid of breeding
places of flies and you will get rid
of flies"
When it is so clearly demonstrate
ed to us that the fly is the breeder of
most diseases, has been tried and
found guilty of spreading malaria,
typhoid fever and other diseases no
less dangerous and that he can only
breed in filth, how can we afford to
leave him alone in his haunts? In
no way can this be done as thorough
ly and Systematically as in clean
up day or week if necessary.
In connection with this campaign
1t is encouraging to note that those
years in which a vigorous war was
waged against the mosquito and fly
showed a greatly decreased death
rate and also a most comforting de-
crease in the number of deadly dis
eases.
Let US no longer discuss this mat
ter which may mean life or death tc
US and our household, but get tc
work at once and influence ouI
neighbor to do likewise.

WHISKEY USED BY PUPILS
In Public Schools of. Bayonne, New
Jersey.

The report that drunkenness pre-
vailed among the pupils Of the
Bayonne, N. j., public schools has
been verified, despite the denials of
the city officials, by special COM
mittee of the schol board, whose
report sustains the charges made by
DR.. Henry A. Abbott, medical in
spector, that many children attended
the school under the influence.
The board has issued an appeal to
parents, teachers and pupils to do
their utmost in discouraging the use
of intoxicants by the children Of the
city.
1t was also resolved to enforce the
law forbidding the sale of cigarettes
to boys under sixteen years.

visiting his wife in his house, and
when he went in by one side Of the
house Bowman went out by the 9th

discharged his shotgun at him, but
the man was so far distant that only
few shot took effect. Bowman is
still on the go, however, and no ar

Richland county almshouse, where
he says he is getting bettel treat
ment. He says he doesn't like the

and happier in the ."poor house"
than in the home. He says that q
number of others are dissatisfied.
among them w. B. Brantley, Of Lam

Mr. Patterson was member OF

Capt. Startling, in charge Of the

left because he wanted to go where
he could get more corn liquor to
drink; that he was drunk three days
in succession last week, and was
worried by a son who came here and
went "joy riding" on foot. He en-
6orsed Patterson's discharge "left to

in peace and more of it.

we expect things of this kind to come
