WATER AND PUBLIC HEALTH.
Many Bamberg Ills Contaminated
and Contain Disease Germs.

DR.. ]. J. Cleckley, when asked for
a statement regarding the water sit
uation in Bamberg, -replied as fol-
lows:
"Water is always pure unless con-
taminated from the outside. Many
wells in daily use in Bamberg have
organic matter present. Presence o.!
organic matter means that such water
probably contains disease producing
germs. A common supply of pure
water means that there is only one
water to analyze; that analysis cali
be made at regular intervals, and
it can be kept pure and wholesome.
Everybody will be encouraged to
drink more water and thereby enjoy
better health. With properly regu-
lated water supply, typhoid should
never occur"

Residence Destroyed by Fire.

Sunday afternoon last, about 4
o'clock, fire was discovered in the
residence of MIR. J. w. Price in this
city. The house was completely de-
stroyed. The fire originated in the
kitchen, probably from an oil stove
it is stated. When first discovered
the fire had completely enveloped the
kitchen. Most Of the furniture was
removed from the house.
Mr.. Prices residence was one OF
the prettiest in that section. The
loss on the house is stated at about
$4,000, with about $4,000 insurance
The furniture also was insured.
The residence Of Mr.. E. B. Price,
adjoining narrowly escaped burning
Water was constantly thrown on the
side of the house to prevent it catch
ing on fire. This house is occupied
by Mr.. E. w. Watson. 49,
It is stated by many of those who
were the first to reach the fire that
had water been accessible, the fire de-
partment could have checked the
flames before the house had been de-
stroyed. .

Cope Home Burned.

One of the most disastrous rural
fires of this section was that of Satur,

house on the place of Mrs. w. L. Zeig-
ler in the Cope vicinity. Mr.. j. F
Zeigler, son of Mrs. Zeigler, manag-

chased for this farm year were de-
stroyed. The loss is exceptionally
heavy. Mrs. Zeigler is the mother OF

EHRHARDT A COMING TOWN.
Prosperous and Lively Place With the
Best of Prospects.

Ehrhardt is located in Bamberg
county, 16 miles south of Bamberg,
on the Atlantic Coast Line from Bam-
berg to the Charleston-Savannah line
of the Atlantic Coast Line. 1t is a
prosperous, lively town of about 500
population and is in many respects
long way in advance of the usual
town of it's size.
The town government is in the
hands of mayor and aldermen,
elected by the people. Ehrhardt
boasts of two banks, which, in pro-
portion to the population, gives it
banking facilities many times larger
than those enjoyed by many towns
and cities of much greater population.
There are four churches and a
modern brick school building. Many
of the streets have paved sidewalks.
The ample water supply comes
through an artesian we'll with such
force that the usual pumping station
and reservoir tank for distribution
are not necessary. The natural pres
sure of the water, as it comes. up
through the pipe is sufficient to fur
nish an ample supply to all citizens
as we'll as for fire protection pur-
poses.
There is an electric light plant am
pie for the needs of the town.
Ehrhardt is the natural market for
many prosperous farmers in the ter
ritory adjacent It's merchants are
progressive and alive to modern con-
ditions, the stores and stocks of mer-
chandise being such as are usually
found only in much larger places.
Ehrhardt is the centre of a fine
farming region and is in all respects
an up to date town.-The Columbia
State.

The Latest?

Not long ago a certain man who
wished to get Earl Kitchener's real
opinion about the war invited him to
dinner. Throughout the meal ne
tried to make up his mind to ques-
ton the great soldier, but his cour-
age failed him.
After the dinner, as the host was
returning with *. of K" to the
war office, he took his courage in
both hands, and said:
well, what is the latest about the
war;" /
Kitchener looked at him for d
moment in mild surprise. Then he
gave him one of his rare smiles.
We'll get an evening paper" he
said quietly.

Stole Auto Out for a Ride.

Last Thursday uight some one
broke into the garage Of Mr.. B. w.
Miley, near his residence on Carlisle
street, and took his Overland car out
for a ride. The garage was entered
by pulling the staple out. Mr.. Miley
had no knowledge of the affair until
next morning, when he found the
door unfastened. After using the
car for a ride, the party or parties
returned the machine in apparently
good order to the garage. Mr.. Miley
says he has no idea who the thief
could have been, but he has a clue
which he thinks may eventually ap-
prehend the guilty party or parties.

For Preventing Tomato Diseases.

1. Rotation Of crops.-Do not
plant tomatoes in the same soil often
er than once in three years.
2. Avoid the use of fresh manure.
If you did not have well-rotted ma
nure plowed under last fall, it will be
best not to use any.
3. Spray healthy plants with Bor-
deaux mixture to protect from dis
ease. Prevention is better than cure.
4. Keep plants in good condition
by frequent and careful cultivation.
Cultivate after each rain as soon as
the ground is dry enough. Stir the
soil at least once a week whether it
rains or not.
5. Pull up and burn all diseased
plants promptly.
Poisoned bait for cut-worms.-Dip
collard or cabbage leaves, or weeds in
a solution of Paris green made by
mixing one tablespoonful of Paris
green in a bucket of water. Scatter
these over the plat in the evening for
two or three days, as the cut-Worm
feeds at night. Arsenate of lead, one
pound to so gallons of water, mixed
with the Bordeaux, will kill about
all the worms that feed on the plants.
In order to gather fresh tomatoes
all summer, make successive plant
ings every four weeks until about
August 18th. If the vines are pulled
up and hung under shelter before
they are killed by frost in the fall,
most of the green fruit will ripen.
So that you may have fresh tomatoes
until nearly Christmas.
