In these days of plenty it were
well to remember that spiritual
and intellectual prosperity do not
flourish along with material pros
perity. A full head and heart are
more often found with an empty
stomach than with one filled with
the good things of the table. and
naked knees are more supple be-
fore the Maker than those clothed
in velvet and fine linen.

Death of an Infant.

DIED-At the home of his pa
rents, Mr. and Mrs w w Barr, near
Cooper postofice, Sunday, May 8,
1910, at 10 o'clock p M, Harley
Theodore, aged nine months. The
funeral and ihterment took place
on Monday, at 4 p m., the services
being conducted by Revs A CBridg-
man and E E Erwin in the presence
of number of relatives and friends
of the bereaved parents. The little
life frightened the home only for
a few feeting months, but long
enough to light the way as a
guiding-star to the realms of the
blest, to enter which, we are told,
our hearts must be as the hearts
of little children. The tiny fingers
beckon the heartsick parents to the
Fathers throne, where, as a pure
and white-winged ambassador from
earth to heaven, their little one is
waiting to welcome them.

A VARIETY OF NEWS
FROM LAKE CITY.
GRADED SCHOOL COMMENCE

CONTINUES.

NOCN ANCIS9s
Lake City, May l6:-Dr A H
Williams was in Charleston part
Of this week.
The Lake City schools closed last
week. The exercises ended Tues
day night, having begun on Sum
day. The sermon was preached
by DR. v C Baldy, president of
Coker College, Hartsville. Such a
discourse was genuine treat to
all who had the pleasure of hear
ing it. An entertainment consist
ing of recitations, music and plays
took place Monday night. On Tues
day night Professor John G Clink-
scales, of Wofford College, delivered
the literary address, and it was
splendid address indeed. Rare are
the occasions upon which our people
hear an address that elicits such
general and favorable comment as
this one.
The session has been a salts
factory and successful one. The
teachers as a whole made a good
faculty, and the causes for COM
plant were few. In the discipline
and the general morale the student
body is good.
Col O T Hall is getting ready to
build a tobacco dry house on
Acline avenue, just north of his
sales warehouse. The structure
will be of brick and will be sixty
feet wide and a hundred and fifty
feet long and two stories in height.
1t will be furnished with the
latest model drying machines and
appurtenances and in every detail
will be a complete drying plant.
Several car loads of brick are on
the ground and work will be be-
gun right away, so that the plant
will be ready for the approaching
season. This enterprise, which will
represent an investment of some
thing like ten thousand dollars,
means much for the tobacco mar
ket of this town and much for the
tobacco growing industry of the
country.
Halley's comet seems to be play

HEALTH BULLETIN.

War must be waged against the
housefy. This fly is the same the
world over and this fight is just as i'm
portant in the rural districts as it is
in the towns and cities In fact it
seems that there is very little thought
given to sanitation in most country
communities The fly will carry the
germs of typhoid fever in the country
as we'll as in the towns and cities.
More attention should and must be
paid to rural sanitation. Mississippi
is essentially an agricultural state. In
this fight against the disease it is the
purpose of the board of health to make
it house to house campaign. The re-
suits will not come in a day, but earn
est, continuous and well directed eff
forts will be productive of great good
to the citizenship of Mississippi. The
fight against the fly must be persist
ent. The best way to get rid of di-
sease spreading pests is to prevent its
breeding
This may be done by cleaning up
each week, during the warm season of
the year and keep clean. 1t is estimat-
ed that not less than 90 per cent of
the flies breed in and around the sta
BILE. But remember that they may
breed wherever there is filth. To pre-
vent the breeding of flies the best
method will entail some trouble and
expense. In thickly settled communi-
ties this will be necessary and certain

when Secretary Runnels of the
Business League rendered his resigna
tion and same was accepted AMI he
departed to take a position at Bristol.
Tenn, the entire business community
felt and knew that they had suffered
future prosperity of Greenville. Ever
since Mr. Runnels came to Greenville
and took up the duties of secretary of
the league there has been an air of
progressiveness that every inhabitant
could not fail to realize. The town
needed a man of his kind, one imbu-
ed with the proclivities for the work
that lay before him. He entered upon
the task armored with experience and
intelligence and from the start began
to make things hum. Such men are
always in demand, and the city of
Bristol, Tenn, deciding that he was
needed there to brush away some of
the cobwebs, made him a fattering of
fer. and his duty to himself and fam
lily caused him to accept the same.
That he was held in high esteem by the
members of the league is testified to
in the resolutions adopted and which
appear on the first page of this paper,
and they also voice the sentiment Of
the entire business circle The Times
sincerely regrets his removal from the
city and will miss his pleasant com
pany rs also his perfect urbanity prof

~ worth while II is better to incur
a minimum expense in the prevention
of sickness or to allow incalculable loss
from disease in health. life and earn
ing capacity.
To prevent the breeding of flies all
manure accumulations in the stables
should be collected not less than once
a week and dumped into pit or vault
or placed under a screened enclosure
The arrangement for this disposal of
manure may be at >he end or side or
more convenient place relative to the
stable. Each accumulation of manure
dumped into the pit or vault should
be well sprinkled with lime. A barrel
of chloride of lime can be kept con-
veniently for this purpose. If this
plan is folliwed the house fly will have
but little chance to breed. The num-
Der will certainly be reduced, in fact,
they will be hardly noticeable. This
mode of fighting the fly has been tried
and is regarded as the cheapest and
most effective.

The people of all the cities on the
lower Mississippi will deeply regret to
learn of the loss of the fine excursion
steamer J. s., which for the past six
or seven years has given excursions on
the river during the winter and spring
months. The palatial steamer was
burned on last Saturday night near
Lacrosse, Wis, on the Mississippi riv-
er, and although she had 1900 excur
sionists on board at the time, the cap
tain and officers of the vessel were
able to save all but three by their cool
ness and presence of mind, as well as
by the fine discipline they maintain
ed on board the boat.
When one reflects what might have
happened to vessel laden with so
many passengers had there been the
least lack of discipline in the manage
ment of the boat, or had the captain or
pilot lost their heads for even a brief
period, it will be possible TO arrive at
a faint realization of the splendid work
that Captain John Streckfus, his off
GERS and men, did in saving the i'm
mense load of excursionists that were
aboard at the time of the disaster.
The fire which destroyed the J. S.
was discovered while the vessel was in
the middle of the river, and the cap
tain, realizing at once the seriousness
of the situation, beached his boat o.
a small island and held her there, thus
permitting his great load of passen-
gers to escape safely ashore, with the
sole exception of three persons. two
men AMI woman. That all the WON
en- and children, forming, probably, the
greater part of the passengers, escap-
ed without injury is a splendid record.
When one remembers the frightful
holocaust of practically two thousand
lives which attended the burning of
the excursion steamer General Slocum
in New York harbor few years ago,
it will be possible to fully appreciate
the fine work done by Capt. Strekfus
and his crew when the J. s. was lost
The steamer J. S. during her career
as an excursion steamer did more to
pOpularize excursions on the river than
any other vessel before or during her
time. The excellent order maintained
on the boat, the thoroughness of her
equipment, and the fine discipline of
her crew gave everybody a sense of
security and an assurance of the pro
per behavior Of everybody on board.
Capt. Streckfus will undoubtedly re-
ceive the sympathy of everybody on
the loss of his fine steamer. and the
wish will be general that he will be
able to promptly replace the J. s. by
new boat in time to resume the ex-
cursion traffic during the coming win

to the members securing the largest
number of applicants before June i,

congratulated on the entertainments
