propriate whatever sum necessary
to completely eliminate malaria III
the county. He said Sumter county
had "malarial reputation which
it was necessary to remove if the
county was to progress agricultnr-
ally and economically, that it was
impossible to bring payrolls into
the county so long as. malaria ex
listed.
DR.. Emmett Anderson, speaking
for the Rotary club, stated that the
elimination of the mosquito was Of
paramount Importance from a
health standpoint, and the expense
should not be considered Rotarian
Walter Rylander said the club had
unaniR usly endorsed the campaign
and unanimously urged the com
missioners to complete elimination
regardless of cost. Both speak
ers impressed upon the commits
sioners the fact that industries
could not be brcaght to this sec
ton so long as malaria existed.
DR.. Chambliss, chairman Of the
county health board, told the com
missioners that present funds were
inadequate and to completely eli
inmate the breeding places and
carry or the other necessary
health work in the county would
require an annual appropriation of
not less than $4,000.
Speaking for the chamber Of
commerce, Lovelace Eve pointed
out that Industries could not De
brought into the county SO long as
malaria existed; that industries
employed hundreds of men who
had to be fed, and the feeding of
this labor gave the farmers of
Sumter county a cash market for
hundreds of things which could be
produced in the county at a profit.
DR.. Branham, county health
physician, presented the following
summary Of the work accomplished
under his direction during the past
month.
1.-THE month of October was
spent with DR.. Branhans Assistants
IN an effort to get some definite
data along the Anti-Malarial
Fight. His report to the County
Board of health is attached hereto
In undertaking this work DR.
Branhan did the field work and
reported to. me each day, and time
was spent and directed to the
areas worse affected rather than
trying to cover the entire county.
Out near Croxtons Cross
Roads or Thompson school more
than dozen visits were made be-
fore enough interest WIS stimulat-
ed to get any work done, but as
result of these efforts two ponds
that had caused forty people to be
sick wit hmalaria, were drained
and six farmers were induced 20
give ouinine to their families and
their tenants. There occurred four
deaths in this neighbolnood in two
or three weeks time, at one time
tWelty pupils were absent frcm
school with chills. Now sickness
and school attendance is much bet
ter, and many people over the
county through the doctors and
general talk of the people are tax

before, Thalean, Concord, Shiloh.

The results of the Breeze contest
are in this issue OF the Breeze.
We know that there vii ID esome
who viii be disappointed with the re-
suits; We expected this for there are
always some TO lose in any contest,
and there are always some who are
disappointed disappointed Let US
remember that every contest has an
object. and unless that object IS
accom- pl:shed, the contest is a failure.
The object Of this contest was to
create z stronger school spirit and in
this way cause more interest to be
taken in the school paper. Judging
from the interest that was taken in
the lection, the contest was a success.
So If you have any personal complaint
- make about the results, please
write them on q piece Of paper-we
have good wa15e paper basket.
Don't talk them, for If you let them
get in the air--oh, well, it just
won't do to get complaints in the

it out. Wou would not want that to
happen for it is the little knock that
