estimate. 1t matters not what the
cost to the county may be, malaria
must be eliminated in Sumter
Mr. Council said: Elimination
Of malaria is the most vital work
before you; get it under way and
get it quick. If you haven't the
money, you can get it, Malaria IS
holding back our county" Mr.
Council advised the commissioners
to employ a good man, one thar
knows his business, but to be very
sure that he is the right man.
Mr.. Lanier in his address to the
commissioners said he believed that
with malaria eliminated, the tax
values of the county would come
near doubling; that no outside capt.
tai was likely to come into this
county until it had eliminated ma
laria. mo matter what the cost,
he said. you can and must do this
job end do it as rapidly as pos
sible. It's cheap at any cost"
The action of the board of coun-
ty commissioners means the actual
beginning of elimination in con-
structive way 1t is the culmina
ticl Of more than a years work
on the part of the Times-Recorder,
the civic clubs of the county, the
board of health, the Anti-Malarial
association, of which John SILVER
is president; the Chamber of Com
merce and hundreds Of citizens.
From the first the necessity was
seen by the commissioners, but they
were not willing to make the nee
essary appropriation until the nee
essary ground work or preparation
was made; they were anxious that
the work meet with the approval Of
majority of the people of the
county; they also realized the ne
cessity of a campaign of education
to prepare the people of the coun-
ty for actual elimination.
Dir. DePrance, of the National
Health service, was secured and he
made the preliminary survey.
From that the people realized the
necessity Of the work The people

POLITICAL CHIEFS READY FOR PROTECTIVE TARIFF FIGHT
BRITISH
LEADERS PREPARING
FOR NATIONAL VOTE
T0DECIDE QUESTION
Six Party Powers To Figure In
Fight Called By Baldwin;
Labor Party Strong

(Bv NEA Service)-England's
election system differs from
Americas in this
America has national cleo
ton every four years, whether
or no.
In England the interval is
seven years but the premier can
call one whenever an issues at
stake which he isn't very certain
about and concerning which,
therefore, he wants an express
ion of the voters views.
Tor instance
Suppose the English chancellor
of the exchequer (secretary of the
treasury were to say: This coun-
try can have a soldier bonus or 1t
can have tax'reduction, but it can't
have both; which does it prefer"
And suppose a certain political
group were to say 1--WE think it's
possible to have both" And sup
pose the premier hardly knew how
to decide. Why, then, if he chose,
he could call a national election
and leave the decision to the people
themselves.
That's what Premier Stanley

SIR JOHN sIMON5

Baldwin Of England, has done-no,
On the question of soldier bonus
and tax reduction, but on the ques-
ton Of a protective tariff.
For many years England has
been, practically, a free trade coun-
try. This was on the theory that
her principal interest was her for
eign commerce and that protection
is inconsistent with a big export
business.
It's been Liberal party doe
trine, and in a general way the
Conservatives have opposed it, but
not strongly enough to alter the
system. Now points been reach
ed where Baldwin, a Conservative,
says in his opinion this has got to
be done. He argues that the war,
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1923-12-03

by upsetting international trade
and demoralizing international ex-
change, has created a situation
which only protection can meet. He
has called a national election to
see if the country thinks so, too.
The outcome isn't easy to pre-
dict
A year ago the Conservatives
beat the Liberals. But their ma
iority, was small. Besides the Lab
erals were split into Lloyd Geore'
and Asquith factions. The tariffl
issue surely viii reunite them. On
the other hand, the Conservatives
are strengthened somewhat.
In the last election prominent
Conservatives like Austen Chamber

eliminated and that at a cost not
too great; the people were shown
how essential it was for their un-
qualified aid aud cooperation.
Elimination means drainage and
constant inspection; it means pre-
ventive as well as relief work; all
of this has been accomplished and
within a reasonable length of time,
Sumter county will be freed of a
scourge that has Slapped its vitality
for years, in the opinion of eX-
perts.
Immediately after leaving the
commissioners meeting DR.. Cham
bliss and Mr.. Ray began getting
in touch with several of the most
competent malarial men in the stale
and it is hoped that the man will
be secured within a week or two.

Inspector Questioned as
To Reason for Fatality

Schwartz Jr, building commissioner.
was called by Coroner j. ]. Phelan to
testify in the inquest today into the
death of Mrs. Tessie Pavluchik, who
was fatally injured in fall from the
veranda of her home Monday.
Schwarz testified that although every
thing from the surface was all right,
close inspection after the accident re-
vealed that the nails of the balcony
railing had corroded. The woman, he
said, weighed about 200 pounds and
her weight he believed might have
caused the railing to give way.

law, he explains. This ground was
made clear to the builder and his at
torney at yesterdays conference, he
says.
Stein called at the office of the
building inspector this afternoon and
asked for permit to lay founda-
ton over which he proposed to place
the alterations. He explained that
excavations have been made up to the
sidewalk line and to leave the proper
ty in it's present condition would be
dangerous. He was told he might
proceed with the foundation when it
was made known that it was of type
sufficiently strong to support walls of
any size.
Stein today received a permit to
proceed with repairs at the Capitol
theater. The permit was applied for
two weeks ago and was one of those
he had complained of as having been
held up.

time that the building commissioner s
Interpretation Of the ordinance was
incorrect.
Gilchreest Qualities His Words
When Stein and Judge Klett called
at the office of the building commits
sioner yesterday, the latter asked In
spector Gilchreest if he had been told
to deny a permit to Stein even before
plans were submitted. He replied
that that was so. Judge Klett then
asked if the application would have
been rejected even if all laws were
complied with, and the reply was that
such would be the case if he followed
out instructions.
Mr.. Gilchreest explained this morn
ing that the denial which he had been
asked to make was only temporary so
that the plans might be studied by
the commission and that the proceed
ure differed in no respect from that
followed out in other instances. He
explained that he would be following
out the commissions Instructions If
he held up the permit regardless Of
specifications, but this was in no
sense an indication that the permit
would not be given out after the plans
had been approved; In fact, issuance
of the permit would be assured the
builder If the building code require
m tents had been met.
In refusing the permit, the inspec-
tor entirely disregarded the requests
of the commission, basing his refusal
entirely on alleged failure to specify

GOV. SPROU[ LAYS
GROWTH Of CRIME
TO LIQUOR TRADE
BY CONDO

HARRISBURG, Pa, Jan. 3.-Gov.
Sproul told the members of the
Pennsylvania legislature Tuesday
that sit is patent fact that the pro-
hibition enforcement laws, federal
and state, are not working we'll in
Pennsylvania" The governor, who
goes out of office in two weeks and
delivered his final message to the
legislature in person. said that
some people are inclined to blame
this condition upon the states own
enforcement law land yet the fact
remains that in other states, which
have the kind of laws which these
critics demand, the results are no
better" r. TX
"In New York and New .Jer-
sey, where the type of laws
which are desired here have
been enacted" Gov. Sproul said, "the
disregard for prohibition is certainly
fully as much in evidence as it is in
Pennsylvania. Even in states which
have had prohibition for years, there
has been much more illicit trade in
Intoxicating liquors than before the
passage of the federal enforcement
act. Here in Pennsylvania our law
has worked very well where local
prosecuting officers are in sympathy
with it. In all sections, however,
convictions have been most difficult
to secure and public sentiment seems
strangely inert and Indifferent"
This situation, he said, sis most
discouraging and dangerous" and
is particularly menacing in a free
land"
"Bootlegging has become a bust
ness of astounding proportions" the
governor declared, land undoubtedly
much of the banditry and other
crimes which are now harassing the
country have their genesis in the
school of outlawry fostered by the
illegal trade of intoxicants. We are
rearing a fine brood of criminals
which it will require stern measures
to suppress"
Education and patience may bring
a cure, he declared. The only way
out that is now in sight, he added,
"is a careful and conscientious en-
forcement of the law by the authori-
ties, under severe penalties for dis
regard of duty upon the part of Off
Gals and an awakened public ap'
probation of the perial by our people
which will make law-breaking dis
reputable. Unles the sentiment of
the people earnestly supports the dry
laws, their enforcement will be ex-
tremely difficult and their general eff
feet more harmful than beneficial"
