MUCH TYPHOID FEVER.
Caused by Impure Milk, Says Mr.
Nathan Straus.

That typhoid fever, as well as 9TH
er diseases, including tuberculosis
scarlet fever, and diptheria, can be
prevented by the thorough pasteur-
.zation of the milk supplies, was hte
forceful declaration of Nathan Straus
of New York, statement from
whom, upon what he termed the
.milk-born epidemi, of typhoid fe-
YER in New York city" was read be-
fore the American Public Health AS
sociation at Richmond, Va.
The origin of the sevea-week cpl
lemic during the past summer In
New York, where 1,424 cases of ty-
phQid fever were reported within
that brief period was disclosed by
Mr.. Straus, who asserted that the
source was traced to one of the large
milk distributing concerns that sup
piled the afflicted portions Of the
city.
The discovery, he declared, was
not made until $50 cases had devel-
oped among the customers Of this
company. The health department,
he said, Immediately directed the
milk concern to pasteurize its milk
by holding it at $50 degrees for halt
nour. This was done from Septem-
Der 10 to October 2, when the epi

DECLARES 1T GAMBLING.
Can't Collect Note Given for Stock
.a Speculation.

The supreme court of the United
States refused to take cognizance of
the case of Majors vs.. Williamson,
involving responsibilities for note
given 20 pay 8 debt assumed in con-
nection with a speculation on the
stock exchange. The debt was con-
tracted by Williamson in Memphis,
Tenn, and note was given with
Mississippi real estate as security.
The laws Of Tennessee and Mlssis-
sippi prohibit gambling, and it was
contended that under such laws the
note 'eould not be collected. The
United States circuit court of appeals
sustained this view and the effect
of the recent ruling is to uphold the
finding of that court.

acreage in oats has also decreased,
compared with years gone by, when
thousands of bushels of this impor.
tant grain were harvested year by
year.
The interest in the preparation and
planting of the corn crop and the
extraordinary success as to the yield
in many sections of the county by
many of Orangeburg's energetic
farmers, is highly commendable ana
should be heartily encouraged.
Why should not oats and corn,
wheat or other small grain, be given
some extra attention also, even II
only a few acres were tested?
1t is to be hoped that farmers will
not go crazy" on cotton next year
at the expense of corn and other
grain crops. The farmers almost
everywhere have good, fat hold

this estate was conducted by the
executors of the will of Mr.. Byrd.
The land was sold by autioneer A.

cried the property to the highest
bidder, in a way that pleased his
buyers. The lands sold for very
big price, ranging all the way from
81 per acre to s75.S3 per acre.
There was about 259 acres sold, and
it netted the nice little sum OF
5000.
Mr.. D. L. Rhoad, one Of Branch

sold. The personal property tina:
was sold also brought very good

Commissioner Watson's Report
Shows Increase.

According to a stdtmsl. pteDi. I'd
by Commissioner Watson, the av-
erage yield per acre of the oat crop
in South Carolina this year is FL
bushels per acre. The yi,h SHOWS
an increase of one bushel per acre
over last year. The average yield
for ten years has been 1872 bushels
per acre.
1t is shown in the report that
the average Weld for South Caro-
lima is greater than any other South
ern State.
The number of bushels produced
this year is 4,431,000. The number
last year was only 100000.
On October l the average price
per bushel was "a cents and l cent
less in September.
This is a most excellent showing
! when compared with the prices in
the West, oats in Illinois bringin5 3
only 81 cents per bushel and "a

The following comparative state
ment of average yields per acre for

WILL NOT SHUT DOWN
ORANGEBURG MILLS DO NOT IN
TEND TO CLOSE AS YET,
And Will Not Close Down At All

Unless Conditinos Get Worse Than
They Are Now.
In view OF the closing down Of
number of cotton mills in the State,
as reported in The Sunday News,
the correspondent of The News and
Courier interviewed the officials of
the Orange Cotton Mills and Orange
burg Manufacturing Company, To-
Gated here, as to the probability of
their closing, and has been assured
by them that these mills will not
close just now, and very likely not
at all. though conditions may arise
that might compel them to follow
the example Of others in the curtail-
ment OF expenses by closing for 3
short period. This they will not do,
however. except as last resort.
The Orange Cotton Mills manufac-
ture yarns and the Orangeburg Man
ufacturing Company produce prints,
neither Of which products is, perhaps,
as much affected by the present con-
ditions of the raw material market
as are other manufactures produced
from cotton.
These mills, for some reason,
from their organization, have been
fortunate in not having to resort
to extreme measures in order to
live and do business and earn rea-
sonable profits. but have steadily and
almost without Interruption, from
any cause, run on full time. This is
no doubt due very largely to care
full and thoughtful management on
the part of the officials.
Mr.. George H. Cornelson is presi-
dent, and Capt. W. w. Wannamaker
vice president and manager Of tt :
Orange Cotton Mills, and Col. W. G.
Smith is president and treasurer of
the Orangeburg Manufacturing Com
pany, and gives its business. his per-
sonal attention. Both mills are
prosperous. and it Is hoped will not
be forced to close down even for
one week.
