NOT IA serious as it seems. since the

BAD HAMS GO TO CHARLESTON
NEW YORK PACKING HOUSE
INDICTED FOR THIS OFFENCE.
Movement on Foot i'm New York to
See II South is Dumping Ground.
Charleston Post.

Charleston Post
Charged with shipping rotten hams
10 charleston, big New York pack
ing concern has been indicted by the
federal authorities, the superintend-
eht or their plants being arrested and
required TO give bail in the sum Of
$IoOO and a case being made our
against the firm as q corporation.
The particular shipment that has got
ten the New York packers into trou-
bic was barrel and a case of smok-
cd hams, sent here, according to The
New York Globe last April, and re-
ceived by an agent, who turned the
meat over to a local dealer for SELL
ing to the public. That completed
the case against the New York house.
According to The Globe, this case is
OF great Importance, as it serves to
establish a link in the chain being
welded around meat houses accused
Of dumping quantities of unwhole-
some food into Southern cities.
The concern indicted for sending
rotten hams TO Charleston has all
along borne q reputation of reliabil-
ity and integrity, and has made a
specially of advertising that its pro-
ducts were passed upon by Federal
meaI inspectors. Consequently, when
last April, a consignment OF hams for
Charleston was found on the Clyde
piers, in New York, by government
slueths, they hesitated about opening
the packages, because of the good
reputation Of the brand. But orders
were orders, and so they proceeded
to make an examination.
The hams were neatly wrapped
in paper and sewed up in white mus
lin. But they were found to be foul
to the bone" as The Globe expresses
it. The fact that they had passed
Federal inspection seemed to mean
little.
After the inspectors had made
their discovery of the bad meat bound
for Charleston, they marked the con-
tainers for identification, and notified
Charleston authorities to follow the
course OF the shipment. AS soon as
the hams under observation were
placed on sale, the case was COM
pleted. Of course, no blame in them
attaches to this end of the line, since
the local agent and dealer had no
means Of knowing that the Federal
inspected hams were not up to the
usual standard of excellence.
1t is pointed out that there is a lot
of bad meat coming to the South,
which gets away from inspection.
/ and can only be detected by the ac-
tivities of city meat inspectors who
are on their jobs. The Charleston in
spectOr is one of that kind. and he
keeps up pretty closely with tire con-
ditiOn of meats put on safe here. The
point is made as to why the inspectors
at New York who discovered the bad
meat consigned to Charleston, did
not seize it promptly. The Federal
inspectors are not given authority to
do this by Congress. The rotten
meat must be placed on sale to the
public, before it may be taken and
case completed, it appears.
All these bad meat cases are
arousing sentiment against the way
meat inspections are made at the big
packing plants, and many straight
from the shoulder questions are be-
ing directed to the bureau of animal

ANNUAL EVENT OF INTEREST AT
BETHEL CHURCH COM
MENCES SUNDAY,
AUG. 3.
Program OF Exercises During Week
at Bethel and at First Baptist
Church OF Sumter Which VIII
Celebrate Its Hundretith Anniver-
sary-Many Eminent Divincs Will
Speak During Week.

Spesek During week.
Two events of interest throughout
Sumter county are to take place dur
ing the coming week. The holding
of the annual Santee Summer AS
sembly at Bethel Church, Privateer,
begins Sunday and lasts for five days,
when the meetings are transferred to
the First Baptist Church in Sumter,
which will then hold it's centennial
For number of years the meet
ings have been held at Bethel church
about the same time each year and
they have always elected great in
terest among the people in the
community and elsewhere and large
crowds have always attended the
meetings. Many eminent and elo-
quent divines Of the Baptist church
throughout the South attend these
meetings and never fail to interest
and instruct their hearers in those
things which tend to build up NOR
ais and character. The plans for the
assembly this year are as elaborate as
usual and the number of excellent
speakers is as large as usual and it
Is expected that the meeting will be
the success that it has always been
heretofore.
The members of the First Baptist
church have long been planning for
their hundredth anniversary and the
program shows what will be done to
make the occasion interesting and
successful. DR.. Vann is one of the
most brilliant preachers in the Bap-
tist church and the fact that he is
coming in itself is sufficient to arouse
the attention of all who may have the
opportunity OF attending the meetings
OF the centennial.
The programs for the Santee AS
sembly and the Centennial are as fol-
lows:

Fearful Storm Around New
Orleans.

New Orleans, La, Oct. "a. "A hur-
ricane from the southwest, that struck

did almost incalculabe damage to
buildings and crops throughout the
southern part OF the state.
Nine persons we're killed and IS in

Mrs Valzie Borne and 2-month I'D

losing only its chimneys.
But in the frame stacks that com

medicines that contain iodine, NOR

when you have a cough or cold. An

Cough Remedy is what is needed.
That cleans out the culture beds OF
breeding places for the germs OF
