1t is a matter of historic fact that,
at-the time of the Moroccan contro-

war to come. And if it had come then
1t would have been due largely to the
unbridled violence of the English and
German newspapers.
But things calmed down. And now,
to MY surprise, on revisiting Germany
find that only very rarely does some
organ or some German class or clique
indulge in reckless provocations.
So far as | can judge, there is no
wish for disturbance of the peace
The four million socialist democrats
of the Fatherland, are opposed to the
war policy. They care little for the
acquisition of new colonies. In the
event of war, however, they would

Germany is too busy building up hei

Thus II appears that there Is no
immediate prospect Of relief and the
public will have to endure the incon-
vonience.
In justice to the officials Of the
Northwestern Railroad 1t should be
stated that the change in schedule
was not made Of their volition but was
In obedience TO an order of the Rail-
road Commission. issued on petition
OF the citizens Of Summerton and
Vicinity. 1t seems that the Railroad
Com mission took snap judgment In
the matter. for the people Of Sum-
ter and Camden and others affected
by the change had no due notice Of
the proposed change and had no op-
portunity to protest against the
change OF schedule before 1t was ap-
proved by the Railroad Commission.
1t Is difficult to say what should be
done, but the business interests Of
Sumter will be too seriously affected
to let the matter drop without an ef-
fort to remedy the conditions. This
Is a chance for the Chamber Of Com
merce to take vigorous action.

Camden. Feb. e.-At q meeting of
shs. chamber OF commerce yesterday
afternoon many things were discuss
e. the most important being the Sc
we're. criticism that the Northwestern
rPnwsy received from the body. So
strons was the denunciation OF the
service rendered Camden that several
members urged that the chamber Of
commerce, organize the merchants
end withdraw their patronage from
she road. Several of the members
stated that M they were tired Of re-
duesting the railroad commission and
the authorities Of the road to give
Camden good service. they would
take the, matter In hand themselves.
Several members said that they did
not think the chamber ought TO go
ON record as boycotting the road but
they thought that II was up to the
merchants and other persons who
handle freight on the line to give
their business TO other roads whenev-
or possible. To this end a committee
OF three among the merchants, with
II. l.. watkins as chairman, was ap-
pointed TO interview the merchants
20 see what action they want 70 take
I'm reference TO freighting their goods
on other roads. Some of the MEM
bers said that the Northwestern was
receiving the cream of the\ freight
coming In and going out Of Camden.
and that the road handled more
freight than the Southern and Sea-
board railways here put together.
Members spoke of the condition Of
the. coaches, the lsteness OF trains.
and the Indifferent manner In which
they give attention TO any business
OF requests made Of them.

and that the service would be de-

THOMPSON seton
ON BOY SCOUTS
THIS WAS THE SUBJECT OF IN
TEREsTlNG LECTURE AT THE
HIGH SCHOOL LAST EVENING
BY FAMOUS LEADER OF THE
BOY SCOUT MOVEMENT.

Ernest Thompson Seton, the chief
scout of the boy scout movement of
the United States, spoke last night. at
the high school on The Boy Scout
Movement. Mr.. Seton went into de-
tail in regard to his work in some
branches of the boy scout movement.
He told of some of the pledges that
the boy scouts have to agree to to
keep each day and the most prominent
one being the pledge that they will
do each DAY some kind deed.
He illustrated this m by several
different examples which were very
amusing. He went IN TO show by
statistics that the average American
boy leaves school at the age of IA and
that 500 out of every 1000 boys make
wrecks of their lives. He showed that
the boys who left school and went to
the cities to work, got into bad com =
pany and he showed that if the boys
would Join the scout movement how
this could be overcome,
He told of the healthful life that
each of the. scouts must necessarily
get, as the different bodies or orders OF
the scouts all go out camping, they
sleep out Of doors all the time and are
required to eat proper meals and this
help. life and health of each member,
He spoke of different physical require
ments of the scouts.
Mr.. Seton told no wthe sign Ian
guage which is used by the Americans
unCOnsciOusly originated and was per-
fccted by the Indian tribes. He then
told his audience about certain traits
of the rabbit and went into detail in
regard to their habits. His lecture was
completed by his showing how the
boy scouts are taught to make fire by
| friction of two sticks.

LADD REPORT
WARNED CITY
HYGIENIc REPORT OF PROF, E. r.
LApD AT CITY COUNCIL LAST
NIGHT WAS WELL RECEIVED
WARNED CITY ABOUT IMMl-
NENT NEEDS.

Prof. e. f. Laid read his report of
the International Congress of Hygiene
Demography. recently held at Wash
ington, to which he was a delegate
from the state of North Dakota and
the city of Fargo, to the city council
last night. 1t was the chief feature OF
the council meeting.
Professor Ladd said there were 5000
delegates present at the congress, 800
being from Germany alone. Three diff
ferent official languages were used
throughout the sessions, English
German and French.
He said most of the papers treat
ed of the health and longevity of the
race. III health, he sale was due to
impure water, milk and foods n to
bad sewerage and garbage disposal
plants, and to flies, rats and vermine.
Professor Ladd declared that infan-
tile paralysis, of which there was a
general epidemic a couple of years ago,
was carried by what is commonly
known as the biting fly, He related
the experience Of various cities where
the efforts for improved health condl-
tons had shown practical results.
About 20 per cent of the typhoid
fever is brought to the cities from
the country, as 1t is largely h result
of surface wells. His report was a
good warning to the city as to the
ultimate results which might arise
should sufficient precaution not be
TAKEN,
