STATE HOOK WORM CAMPAIGN.
Conducted Under Rockefeller Plan
by j. LaBruce Ward.

Columbia, April 1S.-For the hand
ling of the hookworm campaign in
South Carolina, made possible
Throughout the Southern States by
the gift of $1,OOO,OOc from John ID.
Rockefeller, the commission appoint
ed for this purpose has recommended
DR.. j. LaBruce Ward, of Georgetown,
and the executive committee of the
State board of health, at a meeting
in Laurens this afternoon, confirmed
the appointment DR.. Ward will have
the position Of assistant to DR.. G.
Fred Williams, State health officer
and secretary of the State board of
health, and will conduct the cam
paign in this State under DR.. Will
liams' supervision. 1t Is not known
exactly what part of this fund will be
available for South Carolina, but the
same method is pursued in all the
States benefited by this donation, and
the money will be distributed by the
commission appointed by John D.
Rockefeller.
An active campaign will be institu-
ted against the hookworm which pre-
walls to some extent in South Caro-
lima. The work to be done in this
new department of the State board Of
health has not yet been outlined, but
it is expected to cover the field thor
oughly in this State, and the same
will be true Of all States affected by
the large donation for, the purpose
DR.. Ward will be paid a salary out of
the funds in the hands of the COM
mission, and the expenses attached
to the work will also, Of course, be
paid from these funds
1t is thought that the nature of the
work to be conducted will be educa-
tional. 1t is recognized generally by
physicians that hookworm, like many
other diseases, Is preventable and
the people are to be told the manner
of warding off the disease.

The Race For Governor.

The announcement that Hon. !, l.
Manning, Of Sumter will not be in
the race for governor this year comes
as a surprise, and it is the most i'm
portant piece Of political news that
we have had in some time.
1t has been generally thought that
Mr.. Manning would be in the race
He is everywhere recognized as one
of the ablest and cleanest men in the
State, and no man in the State is
more popular personally. He would
have had a strong following in ev-
cry section if he had been IT, the
race. The announcement of his de-
cision will no doubt be received with
keen regret by a great many people
who had hoped for the pleasure of
supporting him.
Mr.. Manning's action, we believe,
practically assures the election Of
Hon. G. G. Featherstone of Laurens
There will be other candidates in the
field, Of course, but Mr.. Featherstone
has such a long lead that we do not
think it can be overcome. Al the
same time we assume that Mr.. Fea-
therstone and his friends will not
take too much for granted but will
make a vigorous campaign from start
to finsh.-AnderSon Mail

cost of about $1,100.00 or $4,000.

Rockwell or the United States Department of Az riculture who Is an expert in irriga- tion engineering and hs" been sta toned by the governments at San An tonic.

 i. That said constitution is made very dfiicult of amendment by its provisions:
 2. That the provision for the establishment of the judiciary sys- tenn is inexcusably extrayagant and imposes needless burdens of expense on the people, in that it creates more judicial districts tha nare necessary and imposes salaries that are high rthan the labors and responsibili- ties of the judicial office require and further, that said provision does not provide for a non-partisan judi ciary, nominated at a genera, direoi primary of all the people. regardless of party and to be elected at elec tions to be held at other times than at the general elections.
 .. That the terms of office oi the judges provided for is too Ions for the best interests of the pep pie, in that it restricts the powel of control over the office.
 4. That the legislative prcYis.cr is needlessly extrayagant, in that i doubles the number of members o both houses of the legislature. and increases the per diem compensa ton over that in effect and amp. sufficient under our territorial gov ernment.
 ,. That the compensation provided for the state officials is higher thar \ the duties of the respective offices require, or the taxpayers can afford
 6. That the salaries provided fol the members of the state corpora ton commission are higher than are warranted by reason of the faci that their duties are merely clerica under the provision creating tho commission.
 2. In general. the expenses of gov ernmeut necessitated by the proposed constitution will greatly increase the burden of taxation which alread, rests heavily on the the people.

 10. That the constitution does not provide any reservation of power in the peope for direct legislation by means of the initiative, practi- cal referendum, for direct primary or an advisory selection of United States senators by popular vote.
