absolutely condemn the use Of any
water in the manufacture of a city's
ice supply, unless the water should be
free of contaminations. And this, no
matter how strictly or how thoroughly
or how many times the water may be
distilled.
The Farmers Oil Mill now, accord
ing to the information received from
it, gets good part of its water sup
ply from the city supply 1t would
cost very little more to get from the
city supply all the water which it US
es in the manufacture of ice.
The city water is pure.
When it can be easily secured, at
very little additional cost, why use
water which presents an element of
danger?
The cost, as we state, would be very
little more. If it we're a hundred
times as much as it is, would the
Farmers Oil Mill be justified in using
water which presents an element of
danger?
The board of health says the spring
is to be walled in and then another
analysis made Is the board Of health
justified in allowing this spring water
to be used until the spring is walled
in and another analysis made? Why
wall in the spring and make another
analysis if there is no danger from the
spring as it is because the water is
distilled? And if there is danger from
the spring as it is ought not the board
of health to have condemned the
spring Immediately?
As We see the matter, the first duty
is with the Farmers Oil Mill. The
Farmers Oil Mill ought not to have
waited for an analysis made at the
request of the board of health in sat
isfying itself that any water which it
used was pure. When that analysis
showed contaminaions in the spring,
no matter how many times the water
may be purified by distillation, ought
not the Farmers Oil Mill to have i'm
mediately ceased to use contaminated
water for any purpose connected with
the manufacture of ice, and used the
pure city water at hand in abundance?
There are high duties which are
owed the public. This, it seems to US,
is one of them, and not by any means
the Least of them.

The Anderson people are taking al

The Anderson people are taking &C
tive steps to have the Blue Ridge road
finished through the mountains. Rep
resentatives have been to Charleston
and Columbia. About the only way
the Southern will build it will be for
the people along the route to take
about one million of the bonds neces-
sary. It is estimated to cost three
million to complete it.
This proposition should interest
Newberry people because it is posi-
BILE for this road not to take the
tracks of the old c. and G. from Belton
to Columbia. It would be worth a
whole lot to Newberry to have this
line to the west, but it is possible for
US not to get it, event if it is built.
We must get up and go after it, if we
want it.

THE NEED OF PARKS.

When the prophet giving picture
of peace, contentment and righteous
ness, drew the picture of boys and
girls playing in the streets, there
were no such things as autos and mo-
torcycles. In our modern cities a
street is about the most dangerous
place in which to, let children play,
and the wise parent will not allow it
if it can be avoided. But in many
places the street is about the only
place for children to! play outdoors
and one ghastly result is seen in the
accidents that occur by being run over
in some places. One lesson to be
learned is the providing of parks and
other open spaces where children
romp and play to their hearts con-
tent. No community, however small,
should be without such spot for, in
addition to being a playground, it adds
to the appearance of the place-Or-
angeburg Times and Democrat.
We hope the people of Newberry
will take note that there are other
communities realizing the value and
importance of parks and Fairgrounds
besides Newberry. Every town should
provide park or playground for the
children and a place Of recreation for
the grown-ups. Newberry can do it
now at a minimum of cost and get
centrally located place. Why should
We wait We have a subscription of
about $4,000, but it will take three
times that amount to get even a small
place, unless some of those who own
the land will give it at a nominal price,
and there is no special reason why
they should be called upon to do what
the whole people could do at very
small outlay for each one. What is
needed is cooperation and then the
burden will be light on each one.

In glancing over the autobiography
of Col. T. B. Fielder as published in the
State a few days ago we noticed that
it was stated that he was the hero of
Satan Sanderson, a pretty and touch
ing little story by Halle Ermine Rives.
Our recollection of this story is that
Tom Fielder is a young lawyer who
figures in the trial of Satan Sanderson,
but if he has any part in the heroics
We do not recall it. Satan Sanderson
is the hero, as We read the story.

THE ANALYSES.

The Herald and News publishes to-
day the analyses of the city water, the
distilled water" from the ice factory,
the "spring water" from the ice fac
tory, the milk from Wilbur's dairy,
and the milk from Williams dairy,
which were made by DR.. F. l.. Parker,
Jr., at the request of the Newberry
board of health.
The analyses speak for themselves.
The city water is found free from
contamination and pure.
The distilled water from the ice fac
tory is found free from contamination
and pure.
The spring water from the ice fac
tory shows positive bacterial indica-
tions of contaminations.'
In the milk from the two dairies
bacterial indications of contamina-
tions" are found present.
That Newberry has as pure city wat
er as can be found anywhere has been
believed all along, and the conclusive
result of this analysis was expected
unless the water had become conta-
minated in the stand pipe, which has
been found not to be the case The
recent thorough cleaning of the stand
pipe, however, will make the people
feel easier, and it is to be hoped that
the stand pipe will be kept clean and
the pipes drained as often as may be
necessary.
AS to the milk, the board of health
says ''the milk from both dairies shows
the presence Of the coli-group bacilli,
to which the typhoid bacillus belongs,
and could be the source OF infection."' ~
The board says that it has visited and
inspected the dairies, and found them
in good sanitary condition. The only
point in which they fail to come up
to the requiremnts of the model dairy
is that the bottles are not boiled be-
fore being filed with milk to be dis
tributed to the public, and this fault
has been remedied." We assume that
this means that another analysis
would show the milk free from con-
taminations. We also assume that
another analysis will be made that
this may be shown We have no doubt
the proprietors of these dairies will

ETERNAL VILIGANCE.

We can not be too careful to make
Spartanburg clean and healthy at this
season of the year. So far We have
had a remarkably low death record
for this season of the year. There
has been little, if any, typhoid fever
in town this summer. But We must
remember that eternal vigilance is
certainly the price of health.-Spar-
tanburg Herald.
What is true of spartanburg is true
Of Newberry. In addition to the state
ment as to Spartanburg we already
have some few cases of fever for the
reason possibly that we did not exer-
else that eternal vigilance which is the
price of health. The policy here seems
to prefer the pound Of cure. The
Herald and News urged in the early
spring the advisibility on the part of
the board of health Of ordering a
thorough cleaning of the town. No
notice was taken of it until the fever
had started. After The Herald and
News calls attention to the existence
of the fever then the board Of health
orders a cleaning and secures samples
of the water supply and the milk sup
lv and has the analysis made.

The board of health ought to con-
dernn al, those private sewers in the
town that empty into either fork of
Scots creek and that empty into
drains about the town. We understand
that there are several of this kind
that were put in probably before the
sewer connection was available. They
certainly cannot be productive Of
health and now that the sewer is
available it should be used.

ARMY BENEFITED
BY MANEUVERS
Commander-in Chief Says That
Service Is Improved by
Outing.

WASHINGTON, Aug. s.-The real
purpose of the recent great assem-
blage of troops in Texas, aside from in
ternational considerations was the
creation of one tremendous military
unit and that was successfully accom-
plished for the first time since the
civil war. in the opinion of Major Gen
erai Carter, commander in chief of the
maneuyer division.
Five times the cost of this operation
would not measure the value to the
country of the experiment, declared
General Carter. 1t was the first oppor.
tunity that the modern army had to get
together all branches of the service, the
infantry, the cavalry, the artillery. the
transportation and subsistence depart.
ments, and to make thorough test of
what had been purely theoretical estl-
mates of the proper balance between
them. AS might have been expected, it
was soon found that there was need
for considerable readjustment of the
relative numerical strength Of the
various branches to make one perfect
whole. This problem was worked out
by test of active practice and Gen
eral Carter feels that when he left Tex
as he had brought into being the per-
long desired by army strategists.
Newer plans of the department con
template the creation of a number of
such units in the different military
divisions which. in skeleton form will

CAVALRY SERVICE HAS
WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY

WASHINGTON, Aug s.-The mill.
tary value Of the cavalry branch has
been enormously increased by the
adoption of wireless telegra ply. for the
first time in this country thoroughly
tried out in the Texas maneuvers.
The signal corps had devised an eX-
trsmely light and portable wireless APP
paratus easily carried on the back of a
horse and capable of being put into
operation from any point in the field
within a few minutes. 1t was found
that the messages could be reliably re-

was anywhere within twenty-five miles

added greatly 10 the value of the cav.
