out ii there existed a direct relation
between sanitation OF large places all u.
the sick rate. | might say thai the
results O, this investigation in every
way confirmed the work OF others
along similar lines The investigation
clearly demonstrated that wherever
we find bad sanitary conditions we al
most always find verv high sick rate
and corresponding death rate. If
you will study the health conditions ,
Newark for the past few years you
will find that certain sections have SUI
fercd more from disease than others,
and the section with the poorest SAM
tary surroundings have suffered most.
In all communities where surface wat
erS are used for drinking purposes,
and where no sanitary arrangements
have been made for the disposal OF
sewage, except the earth closet, as
you have in Newark, there is always
to be found a high sick rate from in
testinal disorders and typhoid lever.
What is true of Newark is true Oh all
similar places and rural districts
throughout the country. The distance
from the earth closet to the open well
is i'll most instances less than 100 feet,
and i'll many places they are not separ-
atcd by more than 20 feet. ! am well
aware that there are those who believe
that ii water has travelled through say
100 feet OF soil that it has been rem
dercd free fr I'M all dangerous bacteria.
This statement fthe case is unfor-
tunatcly not true, as it has been shown
that bacteria may go through the soil
several hundred fcet, and give rise to
outbreaks OF typhoid fever
While in Newark | pointed out that
1t would only be a question OF time
when an epidemic OF typhoid ever
might be expected and with much re
gret find that the prediction came true.
1t is perfectly evident that in places with
the cherished private we'll and without
a general sewerage system typhoid
fever and numerous intestinal trouble,
are always to be expected There can
be no doubt but what a sewer system
in any town easily pays ior itself in
protecting community from typhoi
and numerous intestinal diseases.

Expert Opinion Of The
Sanitary Condition Of Newark
DIR. BROWN, OF JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY,
EXPRESSES VIEW

At our request DR.. Brown Of Johns
Hopkins Medical Department writes
OF his predictions several years ago
DIR. Brown was formerly connected
with the Delaware State Board OF
Health with laboratories at Delaware
College. AT that time he made pre-
dictionS as to what Newark might ex-
pect if radical action to improve sani-
tary conditions was not taken. His
findings were not given serious con-
sideration and we have become the vic
TINS resulting from neglect Since
leaving here. DR.. Brown has acted as
the typhoid expert for the Govern
ment, prominently connected with the
commission that conducted the SAM
tary Improvements in the Panama
Canal zone He is now at work in the
Medical Department of Johns Hop
,kins University
With these recommendation and
from a man, thoroughl, familiar with
our condition., both from observation
and investigation, his words should
have special weight With no influence
to prejudice him, we should considc
carefully his warning.-Ed.

O. for glimmering worlds and wings,
Mystic smiles and beckonings,
Lead us through the shadowy alsIes,
Out into the, o.terwhiles.'
There is no other way in which
ones lie will be so surely SO quickly,
TRANSPORTED as in the faithful, happy,
cheerful doing Or everyday tasks we
need to remember that this world Is
not SO much a place for doing things
as for making character. Right in the
midst of what some people call drudg-
cry is the very best place to get the
transformed, TRANSPORTED life. The
doing OF commuA tasks patiently,
promptly, faithfully, cheerfully, makes
the character beautiful and bright. But
we must take heed always that we do
our tasks, whatever they are, with love
in our heart Doing any kind of work
unwilingly. with complaint and muir
muring, hurts the life"
The faith that stands on authority
is no faith.
God weigheth more with how much
love man worketh, than how much
he doeth He doeth much that ,Ov-
eth much. He doeth much that docth
thing we'll"
AS long as we live we have a
work TO do. We shall never be too old
for it, nor too feeble. illness, weak
ness, fatigue, sOrrOw--nOne OF these
can excuse us from this work of ours.
That we are alive today is proof posi-
tive that God has something for us to
do today
The habit OF Judging is 50 nearly
incurabe, and its cure is such an al
most interminable process, that we
must concentrate ourselves for a long
while on keeping it in check. and this
check is to be ound in kind interpre-
tations. We must come to esteem
very lightly our sharp eye for evil, on
which perhaps we once prided our
selves as clcvcrness. We must look
at our talent for analysis of character
as dreadful possibility OF huge I'M
charitabIcness. We are sure to con-
tinue to say clever things, so long as
We continue to indulge in this analy-
sis; and clever things are equally sure
to be sharp and acid. We must grow
to something higher, and something
truer than quickness in detecting
evil"

On account of the unusually heavy
rains Browns creek in Trimble Bot
tom was out of its banks and flooding
the surrounding community Monday,
spreading devastation among the res
idents Of that section.
The creek, which is only about fif-
teen feet wide, normally, rose rapid
ly all day Tuesday, but it was not
thought that it would overflow, and
the people living in the community
were surrounded by the rushing tor
rent before they had time to realize
their danger
AS soon as it became known that the
lives of the women and children were
in danger the men organized rescue
parties and began the work of rescu-
ing those who could not care for
themselves. The situation became so
threatening that it was evident more
aid would be needed, so an alarm was
sent in to the fire headquarters and
Chief Rozetta and six firemen went
to the scene, the chief going in his
auto and the firemen in hose wagon
No. l. When the firemen arrived on
the scene they took a skiff and rowing
through the swiftly running water,
reached the houses and carried the in
mates to places of safety. About
twenty women and children were res
cued in this manner The men saved
themselves by wading out.
j. d. Tucker, a resident of that vi
cinity, attempted to cross the stream
in his delivery wagon, but the bridge
washed away, his horse lost his foot
ing and fell, drowning before it could
be raised. Mr.. Tucker was rescued
by other citizens The wagon is a to-
tai wreck.
Several dead hogs were noticed
floating down the stream and much
loss has resulted from the overflow.
Browns creek enters the corpora
tion near La Fayette street and emp
ties into a branch of the Cumberland
1t is only about three miles in length
but an unusually Jorge rain will soon
put it out of its banks
| Those living in the vicinity of the
creek state that they have never be
fore seen the stream so high. The last
overflow, it was stated came about
twelve or fifteen years ago, when sew
eral daring rescues were made in or
der to save the lives Of those living
near the banks of the stream.

NASHVILLE Tennessean.)

Hickman, KY, Dec. 6.-(Special) y
The county officers received tel
ephone message here about o'clock
tonight from Ewell Barfeld, Negro
on G. T. Bondurant's farm six miles
below here that party of white men
had surrounded his house and were
trying to kill him, and that they had
already wounded him before he could
get in his house. And after getting
in that he had killed one white man,
who was lying ocross his front steps
and had wounded another, and for
them to come as quickly as possible
before they killed him.
A posse of twelve men rushed to
the scene on horseback and succeed
ed in capturing two of the white men,
1t seems that there were five men in
the party after the Negro, one being
killed outright and the wounded one
dying after being brought here The
fifth man made, good his escape, but
will be captured, no doubt, as they
have his name. The two men dead
are Frank and Lewis Ramsey, broth
ers.
Two of the officers with their two
prisoners, the dead man and wounded
man who died few hours later, and
the Negro, Barfeld, also wounded,
caught the c. M. & 0. train as it came
in at Ledford Station, six miles from
here, arriving here at S:30 The two
white men We're put in jail and the
Negro hurried away from town and
put in some other Jail.
Ewell Barfield, the Negro, was com
ing home from church with his fam
lily, and met up with three white men
and they were cursing and swearing
and he requested that they stop using
profane language in the presence OF
his family. Whereupon they became
offended and followed him to his house
where the shooting took place This
was one of the worst things that ever
happened in this section, and the
whole town and community were ter
rified with the news.
