WHY THIS NEEDLESS DELAY

II lie clear that the delay has not
been due TO inability TO call a meet
ing or to secure attendance OF men,
bers. We venture the assertion that
unusual efforts will be put forward
by every member to be present at the
meeting at which the report OF the
special committee Is considered
The resolution for a special meet
ing passed without opposition on the
final vote Why then has there been
a delay? DID the action of the board
deserve serious consideration or did II
not?
A regular meeting OF the board Is
almost At hand. Even were a special
meeting now called the early action
desired by the resolution would not
be possible.
One virtue resides in a special
meeting. however. That virtue lie that
the report OF the special committee
will he considered when there is plenty
of time TO consider and take definite
action.
This matter liz one of primary i'm
portanoe. It cannot be ntnimized. II
should not have been sidetra cked. Let
1t be brought before the Board of
| Aldermen at a special meeting to be
| called at once.

Why and How Uncle Sam Fights
Mosquitoes in Panama.
(Written for The Keowee Courier byS P Werner
Crstoba Canal Zone)

would have been no canal, 1t must
be understood also that these figures
include number of large items for
work whose effect helped to elimi-
nate mosquitoes, such as water
works, earth-fills, ETC., which are not
charged directly to sanitation in the
accounts of the Canal, although they
bore, indirectly, very powerfully on
the matter Of mosquito eradication.
But look at the matter from ano-
ther point Of view, and it will be
seen that this expense probably
saved a total of not fewer than six
hundred thousand cases Of malaria
and yellow fever, which would have
cost not less than forty dollars each,
so that the total saving is nearly
twenty millions of dollars, on that
basis; and, as matter of fact, if
the anti-mosquitO work had not been
done, there could have been no canal
at all. In other words, Uncle Sam
insured the success Of the canal
against malaria and yellow fever at
a rate of about one and one-half per
"Nnt premium; and the canal is here
to justify the wisdom of the act OF
insurance.
Spread over the territory covered
by the work, the expense was about
fifty dollars per acre for ten Years.
al, I,1l
annum. Remember this, for it is a
good thing to stow away for refer
cncc when South Carolina shall get
ready to eliminate malaria from her
borders. But it must always be re-
membered that if mosquito eradica-
ton be carried on permanent basis,
this annual expense can be greatly
reduced, as certain measures can be
taken to make land forever mos
quito-proof where topography admits
and land values Justify it. In Pan
anna it has been a military and naval
necessity, but in South Carolina it
may prove to be economic and indus
trial salvation for parts Of the State.
The Canal Zone is somewhat
smaller than the average county in
South Carolina; but if Georgetown
county were as free from malaria as
the Canal Zone, with the added value
of land from drainage, and the in
creased efficiency of its population,
and the increased safety to those who

would be raised by three million dol
lars.
