which to worship the MOst High God;
q school house second to none in beauty
of architecture and convenience OF
arrangement stands as monument
to the enterprise and progressiveness
of Lexington people upon hill over
looking the town like sentinel guard
ing it from the inroads of ignorance
and her handmade vice in all Its mo-
eous forms. Other improvements OF
more or less Importance can be seen
in the various departments of life.
But strange to remark that as nu-
merous as the changes in the physical
conditions of Lexington have been,
Apparently but little or no attention has
been given to sanitary conditions. An
increase in population demands a
strict enforcement of the laws OF
hygene and sanitation. And in the
failure to make these laws apply to
the changed conditions lies the root OF
the eyil-the fruitful cause of sickness
and a fat graveyard. Tin cans, trash
debris of all kinds should not be al
lowed to accumulate around public or
private premises, but should oe re-
moved at least once week by scav-
enger cart to be furnished for this pur-
pose by the town authorities. Partic-
ular attention should be given to
water closets. They should be thor
oughly cleansed. and disinfected, and
there are many other things that
should be done to preserve the public
health. An ounce of prevention is
always worth pound of cure.

November 1s Ii we are to Judge
from the puby,-..-d accounts of the
elaborate prru .ations for the success
fully brinsi.. IF this fair, it's success is
already as I'd. There are so many
big features on the programme that it
is a difficult matter to single out any
OF them as being especially prominent.
Band concerts, horse racing, vaude-
vile entertainments, out door amuse-
ments, industrial, commercial and az
ricultural exhibits, exhibits of wo-
mans work, horse cattle and poultry
shows, amateur field athletics, chill
dren's features, free amusement az
fractions, automobile show. Added 10
these are the numerous entertainments
that the Central Civic committee has
provieed for the Fleet Of United States
bsttleahips which will visit Charleston
on this occasion, for which City Coun-
Gil appropriated $4,000 in addition
to the large private subscriptions. ar3
even then it will give you bat faint
idea of what Charleston folk have
in store for those who visit the City by
the Sea during this time of hilarious
fun and frolic. Then again there is
the joint army and navy parade, with
10, 600 men in line. Go and see Charles

THE CAUSE
THE REMEDY.

A!lduring last summer and fall we were
surprised and somewhat astonished to
notice the unusual number of cases Of
sickness and deaths reported in the
papers from Lexington, and often WOE
dered concerning the reason for such
a deplorable state of affairs. We knew
that the healthfulness Of Lexington
had passed into proverb; that the nat
ural drainage Of the town was unsur-
passed by any other town no matter
where located, and that its deep wells
furnished pure water free from the
contaminations of disease breeding
microbes deletenous to health, and
could find no reason for the prevalence
OF 80 many cases of typhoid fever and
other diseases foreign to our climate.
Since our return we have been looking
around to discover if we could the
reason for the epidemic and the cause
for it is no longer a matter of won
der.
Lexington has made many improve
nents; IT'S growth has been almost
phenominal along the lines Of property
mprovem ents and population. There
are more and better homes, which
grea ~ adds to the refinement, culture
and hap; mess of home environment,
and shoul encourage healthy con-
aition # body and mind. Modern
places # business have taken the
places Of tie shells which met the re-
auirements cf business in the days
that have gone. Considerable atten-
ton seems to tsv, been given to the
promotion of he moral, religious and
educational interests OF Lexington.
New churches have been erected IL

/ am glad that the good, wise

suffrage will necessarily remem-
Der that the highest type of the

pecially identical with the highest

perhaps one reason why so
many men who believe as en-
phatically as | do in woman's full
equality with man, take little in
terest in the suffrage movement,
is to be found in the very unfor-

of that movement, who seem de-
sirous of associating it with dis
