ton would wonder how we have 50
far managed to escape an cpl
drmic of fever. Decayed vcgeta-
ton, trash and debris nearly
cover the earth in many lots,
and when the hot noon-day sun
beats down, the miasmic eXhal-
ationS are almost visible to the
eve. But the most serious menace
of all is the profusion of rot
ting melon rindS thrown about
with seeming reckless disregard
of consequences. Surely the Occu-
pants of the places from whence
they come must know that they
are a menace to health and a
breeding place Of noxious insects
and disease germs. Physicians
have more than once within our
knowledge accounted for typhoid
fever epidemic by the prevalence
of rotting rinds and decaying
vegetables about the premises of
the victims of the scourge.
This is not a pleasant subject to
discuss and we have deferred doing
so, hoping that conditions would
grow better; but they do not
seem to improve. We appeal to
the town authorities, to the Civic
League, and to each and every
householder in town to back us
up in this matter and make
Kingstree a cleaner town. Ma
ture has been lavish in her gifts
to us; are we going to trust it
all to Providence? Take care,
lest we realize too late, that such
policy is little worse than sui
cidal.
Let us make every day, as far
as we are able, cleanup" day.
An ounce of prevention is worth
many pounds Of cure.

No Need for Guns.

We agree with Governor Blease
that there is little or no necessi-
ty for adding a military depart
ment to the high schools Of the
State. He is right in his argu-
ment that our schools should train
boys in arts tending towards peace
rather than war. AS usual, how.
ever, the Governor mars a COM
mendable utterance by injecting
into it an appeal to prejudice and
race hatred. His contention that
the military high school would
mean the placing into the hands
of the negroes guns and ammu-
milton is too absurd to be taken
seriously. All the school trustees
are white men and Governor
Blease knows well enough that
they will never consent to equip
negro students with weapons OF
any kind. His high-hown decla-
ration as to being unalterably op-
posed to arming negroes and
teaching them how to shoot is as
banal as it is demagogic. The
Governor need not get excited.
The negroes are not going to get
rifles and cartridges at the ex-
pense of the State. With all his
vast power and assumed preroga-
tiveS, not even his puissant self
could bring about such a cOndi-
ton. The people would never
submit to it and, moreover, no
body wants them to do 50. The
possibility of any such thing hap
pening is too remote to consider
even as ''raw MATERIAL for the
manufacture of political thunder.
