The Milk We Give
Our Children.
tBertha Bellows Strceter.

One Sunday afternoon when we
were sitting out on the vcranda we
saw Il mi!kman drive up to a house
across the road where he left milk
for a family OF little tots. One Of our
number had barely made the obser-
Walton, 1T seems queer that there
are SO few empty milk bottles to be
seen in any of the milk wagons of
this city" when We had demonstrate
cd for us the reason. The man had
exchanged his bottle of milk for an
empty one and before driving on to
the next house stopped to fill three
bottles that evidently had just been
collected from his customers. As my
reighbor's four months old baby had
been ailing the last week ! felt duty
round to tell her of the circl,m-
stances.
DO you know anything about tn"
dairy from which YOU 90, the baby'S
ELK? ! asked. Have YOU ever been
I here and do lou know whether or
NOT il l. prod a under sanitary con-
dtions?
My ncishher laughed as she looked
over her little brood
Mercy. no." She replied. Il have
something else 10 do besides e la
wanting out into the country and nos
ing around stables"
But when told her what hal
seen and to what it might lead. the
laugh died away II required few
facts to convince her that while she
had much to do, she must still find
time for another duty; she might
have many responsibilities but non"
more serious than this. And so III
circumstance led to our going out
TO visit the dairy from which Her
baby derived his sole sustcnancc.
The owner was inclined to be sulky
over our appearance When We OK
pressed desire to 90 into the stable
and milking shed his disapproval va. /
50 great that We did not press the ,
matter. The appearance of the out
side was enough for us. anyhow. II !
was quite convincing of the dirt and /
darkness that We would find within, /
and We left the premises knowing
very well that the milk produced |
there was not fit for human beings !
TO drink. That experience opened |
the eyes of one little mother and /
showed her that she owed time for
such investigation, not only to hc~
Cwn baby, but also TO the helpless
children of mothers more ignorant
than herself.
Every woman should demand that
the herd from which she obtains
milk be examined for tuberculosis.
and that the animals infected with
the disease be removed Immediately.
Tuberculosis is the principal disease
Of cattle and is easily transmitted b.

liquid is a perfect culture for the
Germs of the disease. The average

ONE MORE YEAR OF 1T.

The governor of the state has rec
commended that the hosiery mil! be
abolished; the state board OF health,
which ought to be able to advise
rightly, has given its opinion tha- the
hosiery mill is not fit place to live
in; the legislative committee on penal
and charitable institutions, appoint
ed, we should think, on account of
their peculiar fitness for the work they
are expected to do, has recommended
that the hosiery mill be abolished:
nearly every paper which has taken
interest enough in the matter at all
to express any opinion about it, has
admitted that the conditions are not
healthful; but against this mighty
weight of opinion the hosiery mill
still runs and the states charges are
hastened to untimely deaths.
1t seems that the main objections
raised against the breaking of the
contract, is on constitutional grounds.
The Richland grand jury, composed of
a set of men who have no reason to
be judges of whether the conditions
are healthful or not, will not even all
low the conatitutionality to be decided.
The legislature, acting on the recon-
mendation of a committee appointed
on the spur of the moment and sure
ly not having the time to give to the
investigation the work and thought
required, refused to take any action
to test the constitutionality of the law.
1t looks as if the convicts have all
those with them who have any reason
to be able to judge of conditions, while
they have against them all that ma
jority that have no reason to know
the conditions. Working under ma.
jority rule, the convicts still remain
working in the hosiery mill and the
state still is stained with the crime
of Fastening their death
On the recommendation of the iu-
dietary committee, committee has
been appointed to confer with the
lessee to see on what terms he will
consent to cancellation of the lease.
This is the last straw. If the lessee is
the high toned and unselfish gentle
men his friends claim him to be. the
fact will come out in his dealings in
this instance.

HENRY LAURENS CHAPTER.

= & =
The Henry Laurens chapter, d. A.
r., Laurens, S. c.. was organized larg-
ly through the efforts of Mrs w. H.
Dial, the first Regent, Oct s, 1908
with thirteen charter members. Since
then the chapter has steadily grown
until it's membership is now forty-fve.
Meetings are held monthly at the
residents of the members, where the
programs outlined in attractive year
books are carried out. the subject this
year being The policies of Modern
politicians" After the business and
literary features are completed. the
afternoon is turned over to the host
ess and social hour is en- Dyed by
all.
Washington's birthday is always
celebrated in an appropriate manner.
Last year, the chapter entertained at
a colonial reception in honor of the
State Regent, Mrs. II. Louise Mayes.
Greenville, S. c.
The first work undertaken by the
chapter was the repairing of the mon
ument at Hays Station nearby his
torlc spot where member of Lau
rens county patriots were massacred
by the Tories Contributions have also
been made to the State monument flag
for battleship South Carolina, chairs
given by the State for Contenental
Hall, for the purchasing of Francis
scott key's home, and for having Re
becca Pickens Bacon's name placed
IN the memory book in Continental
Hall. handsome United States flag
was also presented by the chapter TO
the city school. Besides this, the
chapter gives annually a medal to that
student making the highest history av-
erage in the study of United Statcs
history in the high school.
The motto of the conservation com
mittee has been our chief aim "That
we may transmit our Fatherland NOT
only not less. but greater and better
than 1t was transmitted to us"

any different. BY that time, ii moi be

have gather ed irresistible force and

In the meantime South Carolina IS
committed. In spite of the fact that
there was no great row over the pas
sage of such an important measure by
such an overwhelming majority. no
man need suggest that it was done
without due consideration. Those
members who voted for the bill did
so because they knew the, real senti-

If they had been opposed for other
than we'll defined principles, they
would not have dared vote otherwise.
Therefore it is up to ali patriotic

Ain'f IL AMfnll

Mr.. Todd, of Charleston, the archi-
tect of the Plaster Of Paris State
House, is victim of over confidence
in the might and influence Of the DOW
ers that be, and his state is sad to
contemplate. He has fallen upon
parlous times when little claim for
sl355O cannot get through the leg
islature without the whole thing be-
ing messed up by a lot of vulgarians
who have no appreciation in their
spent $4,000 and lots of time draw
ing plans and "acquainting" the
members of the General Assembly
with the beauty of million dollar
State House, and then to have his
fellow members view the transaction
askance and question the legality and
validity Of the alleged contract is
heart-rending. However, since Ar
chitect Todd kept no itemized account
of his expenditures and was unable to
furnish any vouchers for inspection
OF the committee, he would be
bereft indeed were it not for that
beautiful plaster model of the imag-
mary State House, for he can keep it
as a sad but precious memoir of the
effulgent period Of his career as ar
chitect extraordinary of the sub
committee and ambassador pleni-
9otentiary to the members of the legis-
lature in the four corners of the COM
monwealth.-W Watchman and Southron.

JACKS OPPORTUNITY.

Referring to our little squib last
week about Jacks township not hav-
Ing much of SAY so" in deciding
for whom she is going to vote in the
next presidential election Billy" Ball
hands us this in Fridays State:
If Jacks township does not have
much of say so" it will be the fault
OF Jacks township-and we hope and
suspect that it will disappoint our
friend, The Advertiser A township
club meeting to elect the delegates to
a county convention will be held in
Jacks township and it's members will
have the opportunity to indicate their
choice for President of the United
States. The meeting should be at
tended by 250 sturdy and iStelligent
farmers who compose the Democratic
voting population of the township and
they should make plain to the dele
gates whom they elect to the county
convention their choice for President.
They may instruct their delegates if
they wish
While the township and ward club
meetings give the South Carolina
Democrat his only opportunity to
make his vote count in the choice of
a president, as between Democratic
candidates, that opportunity is ample.
The Democrats Of Jacks township
and of every other township in the
State should determine for themselves
their choice for the Presidential can
didate and they should go to their
club meetings and make their wishes
effectiVe-not leaving the club dele
cations to be dictated by professional
| politicians and to be selected by IL
~ Fxs,
the purpose of putting through the
slate sent down by small groups of
politicians who are accustomed to
| fix" such things.
We hardly thought that anybody
would have taken us so seriously
about this statement Of ours. but,
since it seemed to have drawn out
the everwatchful champion OF Lau-
rens county causes. rights and prerog-
atives. 1t appears as If we will have
to defend ourselves.
What we really had in mind was
the fact that the southern states do
not demand their portion of the SAY
so" as to who Is to be nominated by
the party. Although the South has
been and probably always will be the
backbone OF that democracy which
stands for white supremacy and tariff

never up to this time and 1t seems will
not at this election demand that rec
