Origin Of ''Thc Big Stick"

The first association of Theodore
Roosevelt with the phrase, "the big
stick dates from a speech deliver
ed by him at Chicago in 1902. On
that occasion he said: There is a
homely old adage which runs, Speak
softly and carry a big stick, and you
will go far"
The New York World in an editor
iai published September 29, 1904. re-
vived the speech, contrasting it, in
parallel columns, with Rooseveit's
pacific speech to the delegates of the
Interparlamentary Peace Union
september "a, 1904.
The first cartoon embodying the
big stick" idea was published in the
World of October IL, 1904. 1t repre-
sented Roosevelt mounted on a fiery
steed, throwing a lasso around the
hylng Angel of Peace and CARRYING a
cudgel bearing the words "big stick"
upon it.
1t is interesting to notice the vary
ing changes in cartoons in the char
acter of this stick. At first it was
simply long, round stick of uni
form thickness. 1t later changed to
the knotted club of bludgeon type.
and now it is often seen with a spear
protruding from the large end. This
latter form was derived from Roose-
velts expression, my spear knows
no brother" A marked contrast is
shown in Roosevelt's emblem and
the mailed fist" Of Emperor Will
liam. Williams symbol typifies pow
er and force-nothing else. Roose-
Velts big stick although formid-
able, means peace-but peace back

MANY CHILDREN VACCINATED.
Health Officer ReardOn Makes Report
OF Work I'm City Schools.

VI WOrk Ia Clty SCHOOLS.
Health Officer Reardon has vacci-
mated 1853 pupils in the city schools
and at Morris College, colored. OF
this number 1914 were white and $50
colored. At Morris College 40 were
vaccinated.
The physicians were furnished with
two hundred tubes of virus but just
how many they have vaccinated has
not been ascertained yet.
Seventy-five per cent of colored and
white were primary vaccinations, or
pupils who had never been vaccinat-
ed. Only about five per cent of those
previously vaccinated required revac-
cination.
The health officer says that the big
percentage Of unvaccinated pupils
shows how rapidly the danger zone
increases within two years and that
a great many pupils fourteen and fif-
teen years old. who have come in
from the country districts, were never
vaccinated before.
There are possibly hundreds of
adults who moved into the city of
late years who have never been vac
cinated either. City people are vac
cinated usually up to about eighty
per. cent of city population but If an
outbreak Of smallpox occurred with
hundreds Of people in a city who had
never been successfully vaccinated
the outbreak might give the health
department a hot chase before it was
gotten under control, and would in
cidentally cost the taxpayers a goodly
sum Of money, too.
The menace comes from the un-
guarded rural districts where thou
sands Of people have never been vac
cinated, many of whom move into
cities every year and who are con-
stantly coming into towns and cities
to trade or to visit. 1t is best for ev-
cry one to be revaccinated every six
years according to the opinion of ma
tional, state and municipal authori-
ties and physicians. There Is small
pox In several places and several
parts Of South Carolina, but none In
Sumter city or county.
Smallpox is much more virulent.
and fatal now than 1t was several
years ago, so the State board Of
health urges the Importance of gen.
eral vaccination, and revaccination as
precautionary measures.

SUMTER GAS WORKS.
Mr.. A. ID. Turner, Secretary and Treas

The Plans Of The Sumter Gas and

Mr. A. D. Turner, Secretary and
Treasurer of the Sumter Gas and

for several days on business for the
Company has returned to his home
In Boardman, n. G. While in the
city Mr.. Turner completed arrange
ments for the beginning Of the con-
struction work and everything is now
waiting on the Bartlett-Heyward Co.,
OF Baltimore who have the contract
to install the complete gas plant and
demonstrate it in successful opera
ton before turning it over to the
Sumter Gas and Light CO.
The contract calls for the erection
of the necessary buildings, the fur
nishing and installation of the mach
inery and apparatus for making gas.

and all other work necessary to pro-
vide a modern, and thoroughly equip
ped gas plant. The plans call for the
laying of little more than six miles
or gas mains-S, 6 and inches, STAN
dard iron gas pipes-and necessary
lateral pipe Of smaller size.
The gas plant will be located on
lot on Hauser and Dobson streets.
east of the Central railroad. The lot
was purchased a few days ago from
the estate of w. F. B. Haynsworth.
When Mr.. Turner came here to look
over the ground he decided that the
lot originally selected for the gas
plant was too far out and otherwise
not desirable and after investigating
the situation he selected and bought
the Haynsworth lot.
Mr.. Turner has also contracted
with Messrs. G. G. Rowland and asso-
ciates for the lease of an office build
ing which they will erect on Caldwell
street This will be the business Of
flee and display room of the gas COM
pany, where q stock of ranges. heat
ers and fixtures will be kept for dem
onstration and sale. Until this build
ing is completed the gas company
will have temporary offices at 33 East
Liberty street, which will be in
charge of Mr.. j. A. Epperson.
Mr. Turner says that the gas plant
will be in operation within the fran
chise period and that no one need
think that the enterprise will be
abandoned. The men back of it mean
business and they have had the plans
drawn and let the contract for p
modern gas system of sufficient ca
pacity to meet all the needs of Sum-
ter for years to come.
The Rartlette-Heyward Co., al.
ready have nine carloads of pipe on
the ground and they will begin work
at an early day.
