SUMTER LAND OWNERS SHOULO
HELP.

The movement to solicit and secure
/ the support of the land owners OF
Sumter county in the work OF adyer-
Using the county and inducing imm:-
grafton thereby must commend Itself
to the common sense of all.
The Board of Trade, while called an
Americas institution, is really one o.
much broader scope 1t has done
more for the upbuilding of Sumter
county directly than it has for the up
1uilding Of Americas, relying on the
indirect results to benefit the city.
It is realized of course. that every
fs rmer who is located in Sumter cou
~ means an additional patron for AM
CIRCUS. The more people there are IN
the county the greater the business
interests of the city necessarilH' must
be. In working for the development
of the country roundabouts the city.
therefore. the Board of Trade is doing
? very effective work for the develop
nient OF the city.
But there is no doubt that one Of
the immediate and most direct results
of it's work of publicity and its con
sequent drawing of immigration is the
enhancement OF the values of farm
lands in this entire territory The
more progressive white farmers We
have in this territory the more valu-
able its lands will be. The land own
ers are accordingly Immediately ben
Gifted financially by the work thar
the Board of Trade does.
Because of this fact they should be
willing to become partners in the great
publicity work. 1t takes money to
push these things, to get out litera-
ture, to advertise and distribute it, %
handle those who come looking for
places. The business men of Americas
are doing their part, but it is not
amiss that they should ask for the CO.
operation of the land owners of the
county.
There should be a hearty union c
the city and the country in this ana
other respects. There is no room fof
d feeling Of antagonism metween the
two. There never has been room for
arv srch feeling The interests OF
! Americas and of the country roup1-
abouts are mutual. Whatever pc
notes the welfare of one promotes the
welfare of the other. Build up Sum
ter county and you build up Ameri-
Gus. Build up Americas and you help

Speech to the members of the
House of Commons in November

In view of the number of men,

who went to their gravesin the
Atlantic on that awful night
when the Titantic struck the ice
berg, as big as a mountain, it
is interesting to know that the

men first, the children next and
the women. last, on the theory
that the men are more useful to
the State than the women, for
would women do without
their husbands?

Books and Bacteria.

What we are pleased to call
modern civilization brings with
lit an almost endless number of
perplexing problems which the
conservators of public health and
general welfare are condemned
to face. The public school and
the public library have brought
with them the public book, an
acknowledged carrier of conta-
gion and dissemination of disease.
The day has gone by when the
guardians of health can afford to
overlook these facts, despite the
indifference with which they are
regarded by many people. Was
it not yesterday that a poorly
concealed sneer greeted the cru
|sade against splitting in public
places? Yet who will deny that
an unremitting campaign Of edu-
cation has brought about a de-
|eided change in public sentiment
and a distinctly sympathetic at
titude in such matters?
Need we recall the danger of
contamination involved in the
ordinary handling of books?
Doubtless an element of undue
exaggeration has often entered
into the consideration of the
spread of sickness by such modes.
Notwithstanding this, the nu-
merous attempts to secure a suit
able method of disinfecting books
bear witness to the recognized
dangers which it is intended to
avert thereby. Books are known
to have infected people with
tuberculosis and letters have
carried scarlet fever and small
pox. An extensive inquiry has
recently been made regarding
the disinfection Of contaminated
school and library books among
the boards of health of all the
states and all cities with a popu-
Iation over 100, 600. Only nine
states and twenty-five cities
those which burn and those which
use steam, which likewise de-
stroys-are taking proper pre-
cautions in regard to the danger
of infection from scarlet fever,
diptheria, smallpox and occasion
ally mersles. This is being done,
however, at the sacrifice Of the
books. A significant fact is that
not one of the 100 letters men
toned tuberculosis.
Experiments show that moist
hot air at 80 C. and 80 or 40 per
cent. humidity for thirty-tWo
hours will probably destroy bac-
terra in clased books, even tuber-
| Gle baeilli in thick layers, with
out injuring the most delicate
bindings. AS a matter of pre-
caution, especially against tuber-
culosis, The Journal Of the Ameri-
can Medical Association recon-
mends that public library books
that are much in use and all
school books be disinfeeted by
this method at regular intervals.
Public school books should, per-
haps, always be disinfeeted be
fore they are given out to a new
set of pupils. The lack Of a
really satisfactory method has
hampered progress heretofore.
