The Pubic Drink kiirs Cup.

- v
W G Columbia, JAN cath. The State
Board Of Health, has started cru
.sade to eliminate the public drink
ing cup from the State on the
ground that the cup is a dangerous
spreader Of infectious diseases. A
bill will likely be introduced in tn e
Legislature abolishing the common
cup in public places, including
schools, waiting rooms and rail
road trains.
DR.. Williams, secretary of the
State Board of Health, Is exhibiting
supply of individual paper drink
ing cups which are placed ina small
vendor near the water cooler in the
Office of the board.
In North Carolina the board of
health condemned the common cup

that germs of diptheria, tuberculo,
sis and other loathsome diseases are
conveyed from sick persons to
healthy ones on the brim of drink.

WHITE TOWN UNION.
An Edgefield County Farmers'
Union Attracts Attention.
Others Should Follow
Their Example.

The Advertiser is pleased to see
that the Farmers Union is pressing
forward in number of counties in
the state. using every possible means
for increasing its ranks.
We have all along been an advo-
cate Of farmers oI:anizat ons. Not
only do farmer gain new and en-
larged ideas by rubbing up against
each other in their meetings but
through organization they becotl@a
force that must be reckoned with
by the commercial world. The
voice of one farmer is unheard but
a chorus of hundred thousand or
a million voices will be needed.
There are several local Farmers
Unions in this county that are peers
of any in the State, while others
70 he doing but very little-merely
existing. The last issue of the Far
mers' Union Sun, IAN e-aellent paper
published weekly in Columbia, had
the following to say of the White
Town Union:
"a letter has just been received
from Luther Ridlehoover, secretary
.of. this local union, stating that FIVE
new members have recently been
added to their roll. They have e de-
cided TO pay up their dues for the
whole year from Jan. l, 1910, to
Dec. 81. 1910, at one time. They
evidently mean business, and it looks
as If, they mean to stick to the or
ganization.
"Fhe Union had an oyster dinner
on New years day. This was we'll
attended and Executivr Committee
man w. r. Parks made an excellent
talk:on the objects, aims and pur-
poses of the Farmers Union.
This Union, according to the sec
retary has brighter prospects before
it this year than ever before.
what has been done in Edge
field county can be duplicated near
ly everywhere in the State. This is
"a suggestion to others to do some
thing like this" ..:..
