MOVE TRASH
FROM LOTS
MATTER. WILL BF TAK&N UP
BY BOARD OF HEALTH
Trash Piles Breed Disease Qerms
Citizens Requested to Clem
the Back Lots.
Tho board of health has taken
up tho matter of cleaning up thc
back lots and all other places which
stand in need of anything in this
Uno and that comes under their
supervision. It is tho idea of the
board to have this matter attended
to at once before summer gets in.
In many of tho back lots there
18 trash of all kinds. Pieces of pa
per, old barrels and boxes, and all
kinds of odds and ends arc in thc
lots. In fact som? of them look
like trash heaps instead of thc
back lots of an up to date town
business center.
All this trash and refuse is thc
natural place for breeding disease
germs of all kinds. And one of
the most thriving families of all
tho number is the much abused
and "cussed" mosquito, that nui
sance of summer night sleepers
and in many instances all day walt
ers. Thc board of health is deter
mined that this dispenser of dis
ease germs and abuser of tho good
feelings of the citi/.ens shall be
troubled as much as possible and
to this end the back lots call for
attention.
In this connection the work of
thc civic league in thc matter of
keeping tho streets clean may bo
taken up by thc town council. In
fact thc industrious ladies who ure
members of tho league have ap
pointed a committee to bring this
matter before, council and have it
attended to. They make a good
point in that they ask that the cit
izens bc required to have the side
walks clean for the church goers
on Sunday. Trash and other stu li
on tho streets is not pleasant to
the eye and then the dresses of thc
ladies are soiled by dragging them
through thc dirty sidewalks, and
it is probable that council will
take this matter up and act on it
in spite of tho fact that they have
not done it so far.
So those who have trash in theil
back lots had better have iL re
moved or else thc board of liealtli
will be heard from on thc subject,
A RACE QUESTION
Former Member of State Board 1
Condemns Marlboro Board.
Thc Florence Times, whoso edi
tor resigned as a member of thc
state board of education to bc- i
como a member of tho legislature '
says: 1
"Tho Marlboro school case opens !
a big field for quarreling and hard I
talk, but wo think that the local 1
board ought to have been sup
ported by the state board, as it !
was, but only, if wo understand it, <
after a decided stand taken by the
state superintendent that he would
resign unless tho board wns sup
ported. Croatans are not white
people. Tho greatest duty that
the white raco has on its shoulders
is to preserve race pride and in
tegrity. It comes straight enough
from thc Bible and from God's
own commands. Ho punished good
and heavy ali violations of his
commands in this respect centuries
ago, and he punishes them today.
Thc white race must bc kept
white, negro nor Indian have no
business being mixed with thc
white race. They may be better in
some ways than some white peo
ple but it is the race and not thc
individual that ought to bc looked
after. If the Marlboro board could
muster up thc courage to take
such a stand as they have taken
thc rest of the white raco ought
to stand with them. It is thc af
fairs of all of us, not <>f Marlboro
alone. Wc would that every sin
ner who sins against that law,
whether man or woman, could and
would bo surely punished and pun
ished at once. It was the sin that
brought punishment oh tho peo
ple of Israel long ago and it will
bi ing punishment on us now. Stand
fast to thc guns, you people of
Marlboro. .We admire tho good
old Scotch Stull' that you ure made
out of anyhow."

of a neighboring circuit, that any
