THE SCREEN A SAFEGUARD
TO HEALTH DURING SUMMER
The State Board of Health Says 1t Should Be Used Very
Literally at This Season of the Year.

| built according to approved plans
and arrangements should be made
to have it kept in a clean and SAM
! tarv condition, so as to make soil
pollution impossible. A single I'M
sanitary clubhouse of this sort, pol
luting soil and water, may spread
contagion and disease to an entire
community; in fact, many instances
are known where this very thing has
happened.
1t is impossible to describe in de-
tail the proper plans and method for
the construction of a sanitary priYy
in the space of this article; but there
is nothing more important to health,
particularly in the rural districts.
The state board of health will be
glad to furnish upon application and
free of cost plans for its inexpensive
construction.
The screen, too, should be applied
to the well, the source of drinking
water. The day of the "old oaken
bucket" is past; the only thoroughly
safe well today is that located be-
yond the possibility of the seepings
of filth 1t should be walled with
masonry and then covered over the
top with an arched covering of &C.
ment or concrete, through which is
inserted a pump for drawing water.
The entirely covered well and
pump is the only safe and sanitary
water system for the farm, the
country school and the country
church; otherwise by one means or
another infection and filth may at
any time get into drinking water.
The liberal use of the principle of
the screen is urged by the state board
of health in keeping out flies, mos
Quitoes and other insects; in pro-
tecting milk, the drinking water and
all articles of food. Only in this
way can immunity from typhoid, dys-
entery, malaria, infantile paralysis
and kindred diseases be insured.

Easter Hats and Costumes Will BE
Forgotten Issue, and Election Day
Gowns Will BE in Vogue.
The days of the Easter parade, de-
clares Carolyn Wells, are numbered
because the occasion is soon to be
supplanted by another parade day.
AS soon as the suffragsts have
completed "a few unfinished details
the franchise will come to women,
and then-who doubts it? Election
day will be parade day.
1t is foregone conclusion that
election day will be changed from
November to some spring date tnot
inappropriately April -.
Then Easter hats and Easter cos
tunes will be a forgotten issue, and
whole years energies and planning
will result in election days gowns.
Wide scope will be allowed. For
those who prefer it stunning morn
ing costumes and smart tailored mats
will be de rigeur for voting before
noon.
Afternoon balloting will give occa.
sion for a grand display of rich APP
parel that shall SOW seeds of envy,
hatred and malice in all feminine
hearts. And the evening! But who
can picture the glories of election
night after women can vote?
No closing of the polls at six
o'clock then! Women know the eff
feet of evening costumes, and instead
of the horrid horn of footing, feather
tickling crowds that now make cleo
ton night hideous there will be
streets full of people remindful OF
the audience that emerges after a
special opera performance.
The polling booths will vie in
comfort and luxury with the new
ocean liners Probably the booths
will be built entirely of glass so that
no detail of the voters costume may
be lost upon the waiting ones out
side. The ballots will be hand-paint-
ed affairs, and exclusive women will
doubtless have individual or personal
ballots, as they do Christmas car S
Or, if a woman choose,
she can have her ballot designed to
match her costume.
Voting Darties will be a popular
form of entertainment, when, after
a delightful luncheon or dinner, the
guests will be taken in decorated au-
tomobiles to the polls. All, yes, the
coming glories of election day will
obliterate even the memory of our
so-called Easter parade.

1t is time to begin using the screen,
says the Georgia state board OF
health, using it literally and effect
lively in preventing the spread OF
contagion and in checking the car
riers of it. There is no more vitality
important element in the protection
of health and the prevention of dis
ease than the screen; and under this
designation may be included not only
the window and door screens of the
home, but the proper screening OF
the well, the clubhouse, the manure
pile, against the spread of any in
lection.
It is better and safer to go without
chairs or even without beds and
sleep on the floor than to live in an
unscreened house. Flies, mosquitoes
and other insects are known carriers
of disease. The special function of
the fly in the scheme of nature
seems to be to keep typhoid germs
in circulation, gathering them upon
filth and depositing them upon food
in the kitchen or dining room,
whence they are taken into the body
through the flesh.
Flies are known, too, to convey the
germs of dysentery and infantile pa
ralysis, as has been discovered by re-
cent Investigation.
particular kind of mosquito, the
anopheles, is known beyond question
to be the only means by which the
germ of malaria is conveyed from
the body of one person to that of an
other.
Therefore. it is most important to
exclude flies and mosquitoes from the
home. Every opening in the house
should be screened against them.
When flies do get a chance to get
in they should be caught in a trap
or on sticky fly paper.
Stop Fly Breeding.
Not only should the mouse be
screened against the entrance of the
common fly, but the barnyard ma
nure pile should be screened against
his breeding. Ninety-fye per cent or
more of all the flies are bred in the
manure pile; effectively covering it
so as to exclude flies is the only meth
Cd of preventing fly breeding.
1t is most important, therefore, to
screen the privy against the fly; and
it is equally important to build it so
that the contents cannot pollute the
soil.
Every farm house, every country
school and church should be provid
ed with a thoroughly sanitary privy

Runaway Boy Mute Wounded.

Spartanburg, March 17.-Suspect-
ed of sinister intention because of his
silence. Louis Duncan, IA years old.
a runaway deaf mute from the State
Institute at Cedar Springs, was shot
by T. M. Ross, aged 62 years, when
the boy called at Mr. Ross's home on
the outskirts of this city last night to
beg a drink of water.
Miss Elizabeth Ross was aroused
from slumber by a knock on the door.
When she opened it she saw a din
figure in the dark, which made no
sound, but waved his arms. Miss Ross
recoiled, screaming with fright. Her
father jumped from bed, snatched a
shotgun and stepped out of the house
to repel the supposed intruder, who
backed off. The old man called to him
to halt, but there was no\answer. Tne
figure commenced to run and the Old
man fired. They found the boy lying
in little crumpled heap, conscious
but mute. He was taken to the Spar
tanburg Hospital, where it was said
tonight that he would soon recover.
He is a son of Walter Duncan, Of
near Greenville.

Big Increase in Fertilizers.

Figures in the Office of the State
treasurer show that to date the sales
of fertilizer tax tags show great
increase over the sales to March 6
last year, though the sales were net
nearly so large as they were in the
record year of 1911.
To date since January /, the sales
of fertilizer tags have totaled $140,
COS as compared with S110,525.60
between January 1 and March 6 of
last year. For the same period in
1911 the sales amounted to s175,
447.50.
1t was explained in the State
treasurer's Office that the reason for
the big increase in sale of fertilizer
this year was due to the fact that
the weather and consequently the
roads had been much better this year
than last and that the farmers had
accordingly been able to haul their
fertilizer earlier.

RECOMMENDS MERCY FOR MILES
Verdict of Guilty Returned in Aiken
Murder Case.

Aiken, March 4.-Harrison Miles.
the negro who shot Bradford Court
ney to death last December on the
latter's premises, will not pay the
death penalty for his crime. The
arguments in the case were closed
yesterday afternoon and the case
was given to the jury at $50 o'clock.
They remained out all night. After
deliberating for approximately six
teen hours they returned a verdict
at $50 o'clock this morning, as soon
as court convened, of "guilty with a
recommendation to mercy of the
Court" which carries with it the life
sentence
The verdict of the jury was a dis
tinct surprise to many persons, who
expected an unqualified verdict of
guilty of murder in the first degree,
carrying with it death in the electric
chair, but the negro had able coun-
sci in the persons of Col. Claude e..
Sawyer and L. E. Croft, Esq, ap-
pointed by Special Judge w. A. Hol-
man, of Charleston, to defend him.
The verdict has created some dis
satisfaction, and the complaint is:
"He was either guilty or not gull
ty. If the latter, his life should
have been the forfeit; if the former,
there should have been straight
acquittal-no compromise verdict. -
Mr.. Courtney was one of the most
prominent and generally esteemed
citizens of Aiken County. He was a
farmer, and the manner of his death
created great indignation and a
strong lynching sentiment. Fortu-
nately, the sentiment was suppress
ed, and the advocates prevailed upon
to let the law take it's course. But
"the course of the law has brought
numerous expressions of disapproval.
