Aso6 Dv. Hsync for State and Fed
ersA Aid In Freeing Town Of Pests.

With view Of further fostering
the city Beautiful idea, which en-
braces within the scope OF these ideal
conditions Of city life. the additional
idea OF "A more desire.b BILE city In
which to live." the secretary OF the
Sumter Chamber of Commerce has
written DIR. J. Y. Hayne, the State
health officer. to find out whether he
can arrange to have Sumter included
in the mosquito eradication campaign
under the supervision Of the United
states government health depart
ment experts now working in Orange
burg and several other counties Of
South Carolina.
The campaign for eradication of
the cattle tick In this and other coun-
ties. has. deservedly and desirably
creased much interest. because OF the
economical value OF the results to be
gained by the Increased value Of the
animals after tho Quarantine has
been removed from the former tick
infected zone.
Ths eradication of a pest to tho
human race and the decrease Of a
prevsntibie disease. ualarial fever,
spread by the anophole MOSQUITO as
the intermediate host should appeal
much more to the citizens.
Tho mosquito eradication cam
paisn. wherever conducted In tho
past. as In the present. like tho cat
tie tick eradication effort. is not nee
essarily altogether arbitrary, but
whether so OF not. tho results have
beel greater when mado education-
nj. and illustrative.

merce In seeking state and federal
aid ID not only because OF the ncccs-
sity for ins, ruction. but largely be-
cause experience has demonstrated
the fact that cooperation between
tho city and the rural and suburban
districts is absolutely essential in
Graduating the mosquito.

be compelled to reluctantly call,
again and again, upon the cOmpar-
atively few public spirited citizens of
Sumter who have already subscribed
libcrally towards the expenses of the
preliminary surveys, etc, of this pro-
posed railway, when there arc so
many hundreds Of other Sumter peo-
pie, merchants among this number,
too, who have given nothing, but
who will participate in the pros

er, manufacturer, and many other
beneficiaries Of the efforts of the
Chamber of Commerce will not only
epualizc the burdens of expense, but,
with the knowledge Of the prospect
Of having this important railway built
in the possession Of the commercial
organization, prompt and liberal re-
sponses to the call of the Chamber
of Commerce will bring quick and
satisfactory results.
This tale, like many others, has it's
moral. There are entirely too many
business men in Sumter who arc not
free in 'lOosening up as they say
with their cash when it comes to pro-
noting Sumter's prosperity.
Already in the land can be heard
complaints from those who arc easily
"blcd" for Sumter's good that there
arc entirely too many tight wads"
in Sumter who participate in the
benefits derived from the liberality
and public spirit of the good naturcd
minority
'No man has a right to live unto
himself, particularly with his cash.
and reap the benefits, like dronc,
from the energy and public spirit Of
his fellow citizens"
mere ought 10 DC some way TO
reach the selfish individual, like
Mayor Jennings "hookcd" the tax
dodgers several years ago.
The way to get the Sumtcr-Turbc-
villc-Olanta railway is for the ma
iority. not the minority, to bear the
burden Of the achievement of this
much desired trade increaser for
SumterS business men,
Don't let few men do everything
and pay for nearly every public bcnc-
fit i'm Sumter. Even the goose that
laid the golden egg worked over
time and eventually died, and nc
doubt she too WAS tired Of putting up

to Sumter in order to meet railway
transportation competition which
competitive towns enjoy from those
sections.
He further states that a majority
OF the formers and country mcr-
chants of the sections above mention
cd are now, and have been for many
years desirOus of trading in Sumter,
and shipping their cotton, tobacco.
and other farm products to Sumter.
President f. w. Dabbs, of the State
Farmers Union, a member of the
Sumter County Farmers Union, and
q Sumter county farmer living in the
Goodwill section substantially bears
out in yesterdays Daily Item every
argument made by the Managing.
Secretary of the Sumter Chamber Of
CO. .nerce.
The citizens of Sumter, several
years ago. almost unanimously signed
petition circulated by the present
commercial secretary. authorizing the
city Of Sumter to appropriate $2O,-
600, which was done. for tho purpose
of securing rights of way for the
South Carolina Western hallway from
I'ishopvillc. to Sumter.
That was a splendid investments
and few, if any, regret the cost Of
the Sou.h Carolina Western Railway.
But Mr.. Dabbs very truthfully says
that the ''Scaboard Air Line" cost, If
proven TO be good investment, is
certainly an argument in favor of the
proposed Sumtcr-Turbcville- Olanta
Railway.
Numbers OF Sumtcr's most SUCCESS
full and shrcwdcst business and
professional men, say that the
Sumtcr-Turbcvillc-O -Olanta Railway
VIII surpass. by far, in value to SUM
ter city, any benefits which the South
Carolina Western hallway has given
sumter. without discrcditng that
railroad or the territory it travcrscs.
The Sumtcr-Turbcvillc- OIanta rail
way Will traverse one of the richest
ana most fertile agricultural sections
OF South Carolina, will traverse Il
virgin soil country wherein are pro-
duccd millions OF dollars worth of
cotton, corn, tobacco, truck, poultry,
live stock and other commercial COM
moditics the producers of which
have open and above board, and with
enthusiasm, informed the Chamber of
commerce they are anxious to market
in Sumter and to spend their money
with Sumter merchants, and to de-
posit in sumter banks, if furnished

mated In the lack Of desirable results
from the one-sided fight which a city
government, and city people make to
eradicate mosquitoes within tho city
when just outside Of the city limits
arc often thousands Of people prac-
tically within, but beyond tho legal
or sanitary jurisdiction Of the city
government, and who are under no
restraint whatsoever with regard to
unasnitary conditions.
Sumter suffers to q large extent in
this way. While not attaching all of
the blame for mosquitoes or conta-
gious diseases upon tho suburban dis
tricts. and accepting the indisputable
evidence Of responsibility for it's own
mosquitoes and sickness to that en-
tent which Sumter and Sumter peO-
pie must be responsible for and suf-
fer from, nevertheless it Is fact that
Sumter has q large suburban popula-
ton from which we draw more or
mosquitoes because of no health reg
ulations, quarantine, disinfection, or
sanitary laws in force in the unincor-
porated suburban and even remote
rural districts.
Tho only redress, and the only
practical solution Of tho problem lies
In the State board of health, which
has authority outside Incorporated
districts, taking tho necessary steps
to educate and require tho rural or
the suburban population to eradicate
mosquitoes and otherwise safeguard
the public health. also.
II the city and suburban popula-
tion can be gotten together. by any
manner of means. and If the hum
dreds of breedings places for mos
quitoes just beyond the city can be
obliterated at tho same time that
those breeding places within the city
are stamped out. and if. much bet
ter arrangements can be made
whereby tho entire population of both
