To Improve Cope's Health.

Cope, Feb. 23.-The rural santa
tion department of Orangeburg coun-
ty. with Dr.. Vance w. Brabham as
field director, working in connection
with the State board of health, have
their agents, Messrs. Cain and
Cauthen, now stationed at Cope, and
working the town and school dis
trict forty-six, with view of better
ing the sanitary conditions, and thus
preventing diseases, such as typhoid,
tuberculosis. dysentery, etc., which
are spread by the common housef1y
and also getting the people to stamp
out the dreaded malaria by every
one who has been troubled with
chills and fever within the past five
years to take certain amounts OF
quinine, according to age during the
next few months, thus ridding them
selves of malaria, and preventing its
spread to others.
1t is claimed by those working
along these lines that one fly swat
ted now before the spring laying and
Matching of eggs will be equivalent
to having to swat a million by Au-
gust next.
Town council and the majority OF
the inhabitants are heartily in favor
of the movement, and with the CO.
operation of everybody, by installing
sanitary closets and periodical clean
ing of horse and COW stables, and
premises generally, we will not only
be a healthier town, community or
county, but will also be better off
physically and financially. Let every
body get busy, clean up premises,
swat the fly, eradicate the malaria
and then we can all look with pleas
ure and gratitude upon the good re-
suits not only to ourselves, but to
our neighbors as we'll.

situation and suggested adjourning
debate on the whole matter until
o'clock. This was agreed to. If no
action be taken by the senate on the
veto message the understanding is
that the act ratified at this session is
not effective and the game warden
law previously existing holds and this
provides for suggestions by the Au-
dubon society to the governor as to
who shall be appointed chief game
warden. The situation was quite
tense but nothing harsh was said in
the discussion today on the veto mes
sage.
When the senate met at 4 o'clock,
Senator Williams, of Aiken. resumed
his appeal to adjourn debate on the
game warden veto. Senator Chris
tensen explained that he was ready
to vote to sustain the veto, but if de-
sired he would be willing to see the
debate adjourned. Senator Banks
hoped that the debate would be ad-
journed, but when the time came he
would vote to sustain the veto, be-
cause he thought the Audubon socie-
ty recommendation plan was wrong.
There was some little comforting and
it was decided by adjourning debate
on the consideration Of the veto mes
sage until the first day of the next
session that every purpose would be
served; so the veto message was not
further considered
By adjourning debate on the con-
sideration of the veto message the
new act will not be considered until
next January. The term of the pres
ent chief game warden expires March
7, 1917, and his reappointment will
be under the present law, which was
in force six months ago and which
looked to the recommendation by the
Audubon society. The belief is that
the matter will find it's way into the
courts, should the governor insist
upon making some iother appoint
ment, as he probably will, than that
of the incumbent chief game war
den. when the term expires.

COTTON EXPORTS.
No Surplus of Staple if Only Seas are
Kept Open.

According to the returns Of the
New York cotton exchange, exports
of cotton from the United States be-
tween August l, 1916, and Febru-
ary Is, of this year, amounted to g.
911,579 bales. This period is little
more than half Of the season. In the
same period of last year the exports
were 3,291,3O3 bales. The total
shipments in the season of 1855
were 6,051,026 bales, or approx
mately half of the crop. The present
figures would indicate continuance
of that proportion this year.
Refusal Of the imperial consent to
use his ocean may have a deterrent
effect, but that seems more of pos
sibility than probability. In the
last week of January shipments to
European ports were only $1,000
bales. The blockade of our ports
may account for the further reduc-
tion to 1900 bales in the following
week, which ended February g; but
another weeks experience showed
that "frightfulness" was not fright
ening so much as expected, for the
exports to those same ports were 93,-
582 bales. AS insurance rates are
declining, it can be assumed that the
chief obstacle to the movement of
cotton is the same as last season
urgent demand of shipping for food
and war supplies.
That Great Britain, France, and
Italy will get what cotton they need
this season seems probable. Thus
far they nave been taking it faster
than year ago. In fact, Great Bri-
tain and France have taken 20 per
cent more this stason than last,
Their ability to continue is the hope
of the planters and holders of cotton,
for they are large customers, and,
deprived of these markets, cotton
would necessarily decline.
That there is not a surplus of cot
ton, provided the freedom of the seas
is not to be extended to subsea opera
tions, admits no doubt. Crop and
surplus amounted to about 15,600,-
900 bales. Domestic consumption
last year was 7,27S,529, of which all
but about 100000 bales were Amer
lean growth. To this must be added
over 100000 bales used in the manu-
facture of explosives, and the uncer-
tain amount for soluble cotton, and
we have at least 100000 bales of
American cotton as a safe minimum
of last years consumption.
In the first six months of this sea-
son consumption has run ahead OF
last year. But if the amount used
is no more than last year, and rea-
sonable reserve is kept back, the sur
plus for export would not be far from
last years figure. With a reduction
in foreign mill stocks, this would
seem Europe's minimum, and points
to a market for all the cotton we
have left for export.-Wall Street
Journal.

the regulation of this department
can be taken up at the next session
of the legislature, and receive then
the calm consideration which it's i'm
portance demands. Excitement and
partisanship should be put aside, and
the whole question considered in the
light of giving gest protection to
game, and the wisest and safest reg
ulation with legal enforcement of
the laws pertaining to game.
The lobby I have referred to has
been apparent to the members of
the general assembly. The chief
game warden, Mr.. Richardson, and
his assistant, Mr.. Funderburk, have
been continually in evidence in this
work during this session, and before.
l have been informed that Mr.. c. H.
Glaze, clerk of the judiciary commit
tee of the senate, who is also court
stenographer for the First circuit,
has been active in this lobby. 1t has
been reported to me that the jul
dietary committee adopted a resolu-
tion requesting the headquarters of
this lobby to withdraw from their
committee room with it's barefaced
activities.
These facts reveal situation
which 1 feel sure will not have your
approval or protection, when you
know the facts. 1t is an unpleasant
duty to have to bring these facts to
your attention, but believe that the
knowledge of these will place upon
you the obligation to take such ac-
ton as will prevent such extrava-
gance in the department and the
legislating into office of the present
incumbent, and that you will ultl-
mately look to a complete reorgani-
zation of this department, which will
enforce our laws for the protection
of game without extravaganza and
without waste, and in manner that
will best protect the interests Of the
people of the State. l have dis
charged my duty. l leave the re-
sponsibility with you. Very respect
fully.

When the message was received
Senators J. F. Williams and Bonham
made strong pleas for referring the
whole matter to a committee to in
quire into the charges and report.
Senator Lee insisted that he want
ed a full and fair hearing as he was
a friend of both the governor and
chief game warden. Mr.. Evans
thought the charges should be in
vestigated.
The chief arguments were made by
Senators Bonham, of Anderson, and
Williams, of Aiken, they felt that
sustaining the veto would do great
Injustice to Mr.. Richardson and that
an ex parte statement had been pre-
sented the senate.
Those who expected to vote to sus-
tain the veto said nothing.
Mr.. Evans wanted the message
printed.
