and perhaps worse, we do not know.
But we do know that the city au-
thorities are not forcing people in
the very heart of the city to COM
ply with even the moderate demands
of the city council as to keeping
hogs in large pens, and keeping
these pens as clean as maybe.
1t would be too much to hope we
suppose, that the present city coun-
ell would make the public stomach
subordinate to the public health.
They must have hogs. Because some
of them were reared where there
were many hogs and have never had
fever they put up their judgment
against the experience of mankind
and the best thought of the medical
profession. They know it all, hence
they are unable to learn. An cpl
demic of typhoid will not teach
them, but it should teach the peo-
pie of Abbeville that a clean city is
more important than a few hog
pens. There is plenty of open coun-
try where men may engage in hog
raising. It is profitable and may be
followed safely in the country
where people are not closely housed,
but in a city the size of Abbeville
it is criminal to force a disease pro-
Queer on the people. Only the peo-
pie may get rid of this kind of legis-
lation by getting rid of councilmen
who favor such things.

The time for enrolling in order
to participate in the democratic
primaries expires on the fourth
Tuesday in July, which is July 23rd.
A person who is not enrolled by
that date may not vote in the pri-
maries this year.
Owing to war activities and other
causes the people have not been CIV
ing as much time as they should to
matters connected with the selection
of officers for the state and national
government. Things which have ap-
peared more important have kept
them from doing so.
Now that the time is growing
short it is hoped that all parties who
are entitled to vote in the .primar-
les this summer will lose no time in
Qualifying themselves for discharg-
ing the duty of good citizens.
An enrolment committee has
been appointed for each club and
the enrolment book will be. found
in charge of these officers. Let every
voter see to it today that he is pro-
perly enrolled.

TYPHOID AND HOGS.

Typhoid fever has made its ap-
pearance in several homes in Able
vile this summer. 1t has been sew
eral summers since there have been
many cases of typhoid fever. In the
past there have been isolated cases
where the cause could not be dis
covered perhaps, but in most cases
in the past the sickness could be d.
rectly traced to hog pens.
For the reason that hog pens are
believed to be responsible for ty-
phoid fever, and because the best
physicians tell US that this is true,
we have advocated keeping hogs out
of Abbeville. There have been
those who were of a contrary opin-
ion. Some men have run for men,
bership on the city council on their
advocacy of hog-raising in the city.
Most of the members of the present
city council are advocates of hog
raising in the city we believe. Ac-
cordingly they have made it posi-
bic to engage in this industry in the
city of Abbeville. It is not the only
instance in which they have been I'M
mindful of the best interests of the
people of the city of Abbeville and
of the will of the people. In this
Ease they may have their reward in
an epidemic of typhoid for which
they will be directly responsible,
The needs brought about by the
war furnished these courcilmen an
excuse for opening the city to this
pestilence. They undertook to ex-
cuse themselves for doing what they
themselves doubted to be for the
best interests Of the city by provid.
ing an absurdity-that hog pen:
should be kept sanitary.
And the council does not ever
pretend to enforce the ordinances Of
the town to this end. On MAR
street, at the graded school at night
you may catch a Whit from a hog
pen which stinks 70 heaven. Fur
Their up the same street, near thu
city limits, a hog pen is kept, thu
scent from which would make
polecat sick. And there are others
perhaps not so bad as these two

asked men registered under the Sc

gagged in answering missionaries
not to let motives of chivalry prevent
them from claiming exemption if their
occupation or the status of their de-

He again pointed out that such
claims can be made by a third person.
and that, though local boards are en-
deavoring to ascertain the true con-
dition even where a claim is not made.

work makes it incumbent upon regis
