mated to degree that it emitted a dis
agreeable odor. Another case is that of
certain city in Kansas which had for
a number of years boosted upon the
purity of its water supply, because,
forsooth, it was spring water Bacteri-
illogical tests of this water showed it to
pc contaminated with colon bacillus.
Investigation revealed the fact that this
spring. was in the main. the outlet from
extensive basins and sWampS located
nearby and which came to the surface
through large assure of the everything
rock Literature on the subject re-
cords a number of extensive epidemics
of typhoid fever due to these under
ground breaks or fissures.) To con-
clude that because water is bright.
clear and sparkling that therefore it is
wholesome, is highly erroneous. The
very gases of decomposition may make
a sparkling water, and very little filter
alton suff1ces under ordinary condi-
lions to remove turbidity.
Hazen some time ago formulated
and enunciated the following -heorem:
For every death from typhoid fever
avoided by the publication of public
water supplies, two or three deaths are
avoided from other causes
"Of the 121 public water supplies in
Kansas 80 are ground water supplies,
four OF which are from springs, and IS
from wells. This large per cent of the
city population together with the great
er number of our entire rural popula-
ton which are dependent for their do
mestlc water supply upon the under
ground waters, it is at once apparen:
that the conservation of the ground
waters of the state from dangerous
pollution is of state wide importance
According to the census of 1900
there were 33.379 deaths from typhoid
fever through the United States On
an estimated mortality of 10 per cent it
is within reason to assume a yearly
prevalence of 1853. 79c cases of this dis
case. If We calculate the average cost
of care, treatment and loss of work to
be $500 in each case and the average
value for human life at $4,000. we
have total loss in the United States
of $2S3, 100000 from one of the socalled
preventable diseases.
Add to this enormous sum the eco
nomic loss through the dissemination
OF other diseases which might properly
be charged to the pollution OF water
supply and it swells the total to
amounts which are almost beyond Gre
dGlity.
Surely the time has come now when
science has demonstrated these facts
beyond successful contradiction, that
our government. both state and nation
al, assume such control over the nat
ural waters of this country, both sur
face and underground as will preserve
the lives and health of its citizens, and
stay this enormous economic waste"

The Markets.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings in All
The Leading Stocks.

New York. April 5.-The speculation in
stocks did not fully maintain its strong
tone throughout today, although still
showing evid nee of vitality and an un-
ion seems to have arrived at the convic-
ton that the worst is over in the business
depression and that inprov ment is 10
be the rule from now on. Mix d with the
confidence engendared by this view is
caution prompted by the probability that
the speculation will outrun the rate OF
Improvement. leaving room for sharp
stock market reactions. The danger of
running out of margins in such a reac-
ton and of losses for the too daring spec
ulators are taken into account and are
responsible for such p RODS of hesitation
as were perceptible during much of to-
days session, although there was a
strong recovery before the end of the
day. An additional unsetting influence
was the expectation of a decision in the
case to test the commodities clause of the
Hepburn law.
The disposition was plainly manifest to
reduce market commitments as the hour
approached for the assembling of the SUI
preme court. The tluctuation in Reading.
meantime, became very feverish. There
now followed a period of extreme dullness
in the entire market until the announce
ment came that the decision was once
again postponed. With the certainty of
another week there followed some revival
of animation in the market and repur-
chase of stocks sold in the morning. Sat
urday's price recovery and the tone of
advices sent out by commission houses
over the week end resulted in consider
able accession of buying orders when
the market opened. The further improve
ment in the financial conditions abroad
brought an addition to the demand for
American securities from that source.
The market proved SO broad and offered
such power of absorption that there was
free distribution of holdings in the
forenoon by the skilled element in the
speculation which appreciates the value
of taking advantage of such an opportu-
nifty to widen the field of holdings and
to effect d process of digestion of profits.
The selling to realize had it's inevitable
effect in checking the rise and was fol-
lowed by the hesitating neriod of the
mid session. In the later efforts to start
the market up again a good d al of at
tention was given to individual stocks
with view to their sympathetic effect
on the list. Some of the lower grade
stocks were made prominent in this
movement rejecting the influence Of
speculative explorations down through
the list. This weeks government report

Senator R. L. Taylor, Of Tennes-

country had been decimated by war,
humiliated by reconstruction and
weighed down by the highest tariff
taxation this world has ever known
and We were in a bad plight. We
were in the condition Of the good old
praying member of the church who
was afflicted all at once with every
disease in the catalogue. He had
rheumatism and aneruism and curva-
ture of the spine and was finally
stricken with paralysis; but after
months of sufferings he got better,
and went shambling one evening to
prayer meeting. The old preacher
rose and said: Now brethren, l
want us to have good time here
tonight. I want every one Of you to
get up and tell what the Lord has
done for you. There is Brother Jones
God bless him; he has been afflicted
and hasn't been with us for many

the general interest.
This extension school is thus seen
to be intended as school indeed. II
the farmers of this county are really
anxious to learn something Of use,
this is their opportunity. In no sense
is it intended as a picnic, and only
those are wanted to attend who mean
business. It is hoped that the farm
ers will make up their minds and so
arrange their business that they can
attend every class. Remember these
are classes. and not talks. Newberry
will have the distinction Of being the
first place at which one Of these
schools has ever been held in this
State. At present only one other has
been arranged for. If these are sue
cesses, it is hoped to hold others. The
continuance of this work, therefore,
will largely depend upon the interest
shown by the farmers.
Clemson college is anxious to do all
it can for the farmers Of the State,
and it behooves them to show their
appreciation by giving faith&r& and
regular attendance. All who mean
business are welcome to attend.

Let it be reported here that we are
making this campaign on facts. How
are we to get good roads? For New
berry there is no way except by bor-
rowed money. This generation Will
pass away before we can reach one
tenth of the county by any othr plan.
If we had large city with a chaingang
of several hundred and large tax
assessment we might not need bonds.
Many counties situated just as New
berry is has secured good roads by
bonds. We can do the same thing IN
the same way but in not other. Peo-
pie who want us to pay as we 60,
ought to give us the figures and let US
see how it can be done.
