COUNTY coNSTABLES.

The following from the Columbia
Record of Tuesday is Of interest to
York, as it is to be supposed that York
county is included in the eighteen
counties to which the letter referred
to has been sent:
In the dry counties of the state
where constables have been kept,
Governor Blease has taken up the mat
ter with the local county authorities
as to whether or not 1t is desired that
the constabulary be continued. A let
ter has been written to the county
supervisors of eighteen counties in the
state where the prohibition law is in
force and where heretofore one or more
state constables have been at work to
ask whether or not it is necessary for
the state detectives to be retained at
this time.
The form of the letter is as follows:
"On account of certain information
reaching me, l appointed a detective
under the dispensary law, to work in
your county.
1T is now the dull season of the
year and / would be glad if you would
take up with your sheriff the condi-
tions in regard to the enforcing Of the
dispensary law in your county and you
and he decide whether it Is necessary
to longer keep an officer in your coun-
ty. If the local authorities will en-
force the law, have no desire to put
the county to the extra expense of
paying for a special officer"
This letter to the county supervi-
sors is signed by Governor Cole L.
Blease.
The letter went out Tuesday to the
eighteen counties and as the replies
are received Governor Blease will
take up the question of withdrawing
the state constabulary from those
counties where it is said the state Of
ficers are not needed as the local au-
thorities are able to enforce the law.

mentioning of their names Is suffi-
cient to insure the quality Of work
that will be done at the Winthrop
Summer school. DR.. D. B. Johnson,
president of Winthrop college, will
be at the head of the summer school.
The courses of study are full and
promising of new features in the
summer school curriculum. The
manual and industrial arts include
bookbinding, art metal work, con-
structive design, woodworking, etc.
The course in music under Prof. Hill
takes up all the problems of the mu-
sic teacher in the public school.

In the physical education training
under Miss Coleman there will be
work in the methods of teaching
, this branch in schools, and instruc-
ton in organized play.

tive. The rural life conference, July

WINTHROP SUMMER SCHOOL

The state summer school for the
year 1911, will open at Winthrop coll
lege next Wednesday, June 81, and
bids fair to be a success both in point
Of attendance and results.
The purposes of the summer school
are thus set forth in the summer
school bulletin issued several weeks
ago:
THE summer school is designed to
meet the needs of Cd Teachers who
have never had the benefit Of a col
lege training; - Teachers who,
though college graduates, feel the
need Of broadening their education
either along the line of special
branches or educational methods CD
The ablest and most literally edu-
Gated teachers who recognize the
benefits of association with kindred
spirits and of receiving a new inspir-
alton for their work"
The faculty is composed of men
and women all competent in their
profession and many of whom are
distinguished to the point where the

BETTER SANITATION.

Prevention Is better than a cure.
was the keynote Of the lecture deliver
ed by DR.. ]. LaBruce Ward of the
state board of health, at the court
house last night to an audience Of 100
or more ladies and gentlemen.
DR.. Ward said he was in Yorkville
at the invitation of the local board Of
health, which by the way was one or
the most wide awake and efficient in
the state, and urged the hearty CO.
operation Of the citizens of Yorkville
in what the local board Of health was
trying to accomplish in the way Of
better sanitary conditions.
DR.. Wards lecture was illustrated
by means of stereopticon and the
pictures included showed the hook
worm in it's various stages of develop
ment. He told how the parasite made
its way into the bowels and by means
of the pictures showed how 1t affected
the human family and how 1t was
spread, and explained how the ravages
of the parasite could be prevented and
finally stamped out. He emphasized
the point that the hookworm was not
joke, but real menace in every
community where sanitary conditions
are lax. The next series Of pictures
showed the fly, and how 1t spread
such diseases as typhoid fever, dysen-
terry, diarrhoea, etc, and emphasized
the importance of screens He made
the point that while the bite Of the
rattlesnake was looked upon with
horror, the housefy caused hundreds
Of deaths in this state where the rat
tlesnake might cause one, and yet
people treat the filth and disease car
rying fly with Indifference.
The next series illustrated methods
of building sanitary water closets for
communities and families not conve-
nient to sewerage lines.
Then was shown a series Of slides
in which consumption in all its stages
was illustrated. He explained how
the tuberculosis germs get into the
system and then into the lungs, etc.
He emphasized the point that con-
sumption was not only preventable
but durable II taken in time by the
family physician. He pointed out the
fact that consumption was spread
from the sputum Of its victims. The
sputum is not dangerous while 1t Is
wet, but when 1t becomes dry the germs
are blown about on particles Of dust
and thus get to the lungs Of persons
who may be in just the condition to
allow development of the germs. He
warned his audience against drinking
water from cups at public wells and
on trains, where at any time the
thirsty may be drinking after a con-
sumptive and thus inoculate himself
with the germs.
In closing DR.. Ward said that the
board Of health was the most impor-
tant body Of the town because 1t was
trying to save lives by compelling
sanitary conditions. and again urged
the fullest cooperation Of every citi-
zen of YOrkville in its work.

You can help the York county

til after July 1st to get married.
Is anybody moving to secure visit
by the Clemson Winthrop demonstra-
ton train to Yorkville?
II you marry before July 1st, you
won't need a license. After that date
you must see Mr.. Williams about It
The blackberry crop is not promis-
ing to be very abundant around
Yorkville this year. There has been
too much dry weather.
Up to this time there has not been
nearly as much rain in York county
as is needed for the growing crops
In some portions there have been only
very light showers and there are
whole neighborhoods where cotton
lacks considerable Of having come uI
to an average stand. In other portions
conditions are somewhat better, but
unless there Is considerable rain with
in the next week or two the condition
of the growing corn will become quite
serious. There is much corn just now
that is just at stage where rain is
badly needed and unless it gets 1t be-
fore many days it will be almost
past help. And the dry weather is
causing uneasiness along another line.
Most of York county's progressive
farmers make it a point to sow their
stubble lands down in peas or cane as
soon as the grain crop Is removed
from the land, but this season so far,
they have been unable to do any of
this kind of work and the present out
look is anything but encouraging for
good crop of hay and roughness, and
these crops are of vast Importance
just now, especially in view Of the
present condition Of the corn crop. At
this time No. timothy hay is quoted
at about $27 a ton and with a drought
existing in the hay producing states
the prospects in those states for nor
NAL crop of hay are not good. If they
have a partial failure hay will proba-
ably jump to $35 or $40 ton, an al
most prohibitive price and unless our
own farmers manage to lay by a good
store of hay and roughness for fall and
winter use the situation will be any
thing but satisfactory. When weather
conditions are suitable it will be wise
move for every farmer who can do so
to make special efforts to provide him
self with plenty of roughness for his
own use and to spare.

- Washington, June Is: Criminal
prosecution of the officers of the
Standard Oil company and the Ameri-
can Tobacco company was demanded
today by Senator Pomerene, who ad-
dressed the senate on his resolution
calling on the attorney general to un-
dertake such legal action. The Ohio
senator declared at the outset that the
Sherman antitrust law was specific
in its authority to press such a suit
against cOnspiratOrs who restrain
trade. He contended that the law
yers' doubts of the meaning Of the
statute were lin proportion to the size
of the fees they receive from their
clients" and that the Interpretation oil
the law by the supreme court OF the
United States was clear. Now, with

Saved BY Col. Jenkins.-One of
those singular incidents of the war
between the sections that turn up in
this far day came to light when Col
onel Thomas S. McGraw came to CO.
lumbia Friday last to visit Major Mi
cab Jenkins at Mr.. Robert F. Jen-
kins'. Colonel McGraw was corporal
Of the Sixteenth Michigan at Gaines
Mill; Colonel Jenkins was in command
same battle. The Michiganders late in
the afternoon advanced silently toward
the position of the sharpshooters.
Col. Jenkins called out to know who
they were, and receiving no answer,
called again to the effect that If they
did not answer whether they were
friends or foes he would order a VOL
ley. The column came steadily on;
then their commander ordered Halt!
Front" Col. Jenkins had the volley
put at them, with the result that the
company was almost completely de-
stroyed.
Colonel McGraw was left on the field
after the encounter. He had been
shot through the shoulder, the ball
coming out under the shoulder blade
on the opposite side and grazing his
spine, paralyzing him completely. All
the ensuing night and part of the
next day he lay on the field practically
without assistance. When the attention
of Col. Jenkins was called to the Un-
ion man he went to him in person and
giving him a drink of brandy had him
removed to the field hospital. Col Nc
Graw was then transferred to Libby
prison in Richmond, where after six
weeks time he was exchanged When
he finally returned home Col McGraw
was for sixteen months unable to
stand. This wound terminated his ca
reer in the war.
Colonel McGraw says his recent Wis
it to Columbia was induced by the de-
sire to meet and know the sons of
Colonel Jenkins to whom he owes his
life and to tell them of the affection
he feels toward the family Of his bene-
factor at the battle of Gaines MILL
