MUDDY PIPES.

At every fire in this town the
first tronble We meet is muddy
water coming out of the water
works plant, at the depot fire they
pumped very muddy water for a
long time and at the BONN fire it
is reported that the hydrant wide
OPEN would not give any water on
account of mud, although some
people give some other reasons,
for the water not coming up when
the hydrant was wide open. there
may have been some other rea.
sons. but We are of the opinion
that mud was the cause.
We argued some time ago with
the FIRE chief that to clean the
pipes of mud it might be neoessa
ry to use a nozzle at the dead ends
and Increase tho pressure. but he
claims that this was tried and did
not produce the desired effect, if
this failed whom it was tried 10
clean the pipe, it looks strange to
us that it works admirably we'll at
fires. because at each fire we have
noticed the Same result, pumping
muddy water, If this be the result
at each fire, would not Q hose at.

NEGRO CREDULITY.
Caldwell Watchmau.

Caldwell Watchmau.
The amazing credulity OF the
average plantation negro Was ful-
Iy demonstrated . few days ago on
Andslusls plantation. Ark Payne
and bis son Columbus are thrifty
negroes, and between them they
had $40 laid up "for hard times -
and az is usual with that class,
they kept it in the house instead
of putting it in bank. The stroll
ing fortuns-tsllsr called on them
one day last week and told them
that there wore was an immense
amount of buried treasure on the
plantation, and that if they would
assist him he would locate it and
give them half of xll that might be
found, but in order that the spir.
it's might be induced to work there
must be some money in the house,
and the greater The amount the
better the spirits would work. The
two innocent negroes assursd hin,
that they had sl40 between them,
but the fortune-teller must be sure
of that, so they exhibited it, re.
locked the trunk and gave the key
to the treasure. finder, who was to
60 away for five days, show the
key to the spirits, which would
then direct him to the spot where
the buried treasure could bs found,
and he would return and uncover
it to them and make the division
as agreed. In about four days the
faith Of the negroes began to waue,
and on forcing the trunk open
they were struck dumb to find that
their money bad disappeared.
They then rushed to the suthori.
ties for warrant of arrest, but
they didn't even know the name
OF tho scamp who had 90 basely
deceived them, yet the sheriff uf
the parish sent out deputy, who
pursued him a. lar 20 Winnsboro,

Impure Milk In Monroe.
Monroe News Star.

Monroe News Star.
No doubt some people are amaz
ed at the terrible indictment
brought against the Monroe dair-
les by DIR. Oscar Dow ling, presi-
dent of the State Board of Health.
Yet, they should not be unduly ex-
ercised. for the News-Star, more
than fifteen months ago sounded
the alarm and has been directing
attention to the notoriously insan-
itary conditions surrounding some
of the dairies. We have frequent
ly suggested aud urged the proper
authorities to take the necessary
steps to condemn the dairy pro
prietors who habitually violate the
law. The authorities, as far as
tho News-Stsr is informed, paid
absolutely no attention to the
warnings or suggestions. In fact,
some people attempted to belittls
our efforts to force dairymen to
institute reforms in the interest of
health. Now. however, since the
president of the State Board of
Health has acted, and has. in no
uncertain terms, condemned the
Outrages We sought to remedy, it
might not be such q funny mat
ter"
During the summer of 1909, and
frequently since that time, the
News-Star endeavored to arouse
the public to the danger lurking
in the milk sold by some dealers
here, and we propose to keep up
tho fight until INSCRIPTIONS deal
ers are either forced out of the
business or their dairies put in
sanitary condition, and the milk
handled with some regard to clean
illness. At present they are a me-
mace to the health of the commu-
nifty aud should be regarded as
public enemies. They ply their
trade in violation of the health
laws, and should be held to a strict
account for every infraction of the
sanitary code. Their chief victims
are helpless children and infants,
who are not able to raise a protest
in defense OF their lives. Such
dealers who prey on the lives of
the innocente are not entitled to
any consideration, and should be
prosecuted TO the limit of the law.
Individuals, high and low, Often
escape merited punishment by
pleading some "technicality."
Those who sell impure milk are
frequently guilty of causing sick
ness, which sometimes results in
death. 1t seems that they might
be held as Technically" guilty of
murder. At least, they are access
sorry before the fact, for they must
know that the milk they sell is
impure.
Likewise, the keepers of The dir.
ty and filthy eating houses should
be punished. as there is no excuse
for dirt aud filth accommodating in
such places.
The public necessarily must re-
pose confidence in those who sell
milk, aud when this confidence is
abused, all those engaged in the
milk business must suffer. Public
confidence has certainly been
abused by some of the milk men
of Monroe.
