TKt CLEAN-UP ORDERS
Mo;d People Willing to Assist Board of
Health, But Some fail.
The orders issued by the Board
of Health the first of the month for
a general clean-up of premises for
the protection of health here
against infectious diseases was
generally observed and commend
ed. but some have failed to do so
and need not be surprised if they
are arrested and fined for refusing
to assist in so noble a work.'
Strange as it may seem there
are white families living here who
have children that would be more
liable to take cerebro-spinal men
ingitis than grown persons, who do
not realize that it is a duty they
owe their own children to say noth
ing of themselves and their neigh
bors to keep their yards and houses
in a sanitary condition at all times.
It was a surprise to all the
amount of filth and rubbish which
has been removed and which yet
remains to be hauled away. The
town will be at considerable ex
pense in this clean-up movement
and it is duty of every resident to
get a box or barrel and place same
near the back fence in which to
place all cans, bottles and other
rubbish so that it can be removed
every week.
The officials have done their
duty in this matter and if the
meningitis or any other infectious
disease should break out here they
feel they have warned everybody
of the security and advantage of
sanitary conditions and those who
have failed to takj the necessary
precaution may expect to be the
first to suffer, should this happen
before theit have been arrested and
fined.
The mayor does not want to be
called to fine anyone for this of
fense and should not be in a civi
lized community, but will have it
to do should any be negligent in
this matter. If you have not done
so already, clean-up now and then
keep your premises clean here
after for the good of all.
All leaves and lumber should be
burned.
Woodmen Supper a Sm cess.
The supper given at the lodge
hall last Saturday night by the
losing side in the membership con
test held recently by Sweet Bay
Camp No. 411. W. O. W., was
largely attended and enjoyed by
all. The supper was prepared by
the ladies of Sweet Bay Grove No.
145, W.C., and ihe cake which
was voted to the best looking
young lady was awarded to Miss
Clara Williams. A joint installa
tion of the newly officers was held
before adjournment.
The Electoral Vote.
The “electoral college." is one of
the myths of politics. There is no
such body, no “college" at all.
The popular belief is that the
presidential electors, chosen in
November, meet in the city of
Washington, and, being solemnly
convened and brought to order
cast their states' votes for the
presidential choice. But. in fact,
the meeting of the electors is
purely a state affair. There is no
convention of the whole in Wash
ington. Each state holds a "col
lege" of its own, attended by its
own electors. Congress has fixed
the date of these small meetings
for the second Monday in January,
thus obviating any possible difficul
ty that might arise from delay in a
diversity of dates.
No method of organization is
prescribed by law for these elector
al meetings, but precedence and
common sense dictate the election
of a chairman, who sees that the
votes are cast in an orderly man
ner. ^Three copies of the votes
are then made, and after proper
certification two are deposited in
the state archives and the other is
sent to Washington by a "messen
ger." the messenger as a rule being
the elector who led his ticket in
the November election. After
that state meeting the other elec
tors have no further place in the
public picture.
The various messengers meet n
Washington on the second Wed
nesday in February and present
their sealed missives to a joint
meeting of the House and Senate.
; call.d for this purpose. The pres
ident of the Senate opens and
: counts the votes and announces
results, taking the states in th-ir
alphabetical order; and the great
work of choosing a president is at
an end.
The various state meetings are
called an "electoral college" purely
through habit and courtesy. Com
pared to a "college" they come
nearer being state normals.

Political lalk.
While here during the holidays,
says the Democrat News of War
ren, Mr. Goodwin stated that things
were moving along nicely in Wash
ington, and that there was every
.indication' that the Democrats'
would carry out every party pledge
1 without- difficulty and. that the ]
| Democratic members would be un- i
j usually busy during the special
session of Congress in March.
When asked regarding the cabi
net appointments of President
Wilson. Mr. Goodwin stated that
he thought it probable that Bryan
would not accept the port folio I
: of Secretary of State, unless it was
urged upon him by President Wil j
son and his friends. Mr. Goodwin
i also stated that Bryan was a b g
ger man outside of office than any
other man could possibly be in of
fice. and that, in his opinion. Bryan
! could do more good as a* private |
1 citizen than he could as a member
of the cabinet, although he would
undoubtedly make one of the great
est secretarys the country ever
had.
Mr. Goodwin also repeted the
good news that Mrs. Goodwm. who
! is at Batesville. is in better health
S than she has enjoyed in years, and
that her physicians hope that it
I will only be a matter of a short
time until she be entirely well from
her long, lingering illness.

Donaghey Pardons 33 More.
Governer Donashey completed
I his final pardon list last week. A
; total of 35 pardons were granted j
from 103 petitions received by
him. Most of those who received
clemency at the hands of the gov
ernor have served a large part of
their sentence. One of those
granted a pardon was from this
county, and the governor gives the
following reason for granting same:
“Shep Raulston. Union county,
murder second degree. Granted
on. recommedation of circuit judge,
prosecuting attorney, nine mem
bers of the jury and a large number
of responsible citizens, who say
there was a miscarriage of justice
in this case and that Raulston
'acted in self-defense, as this negro
1 had attempted to take his life on
more than one occasion."

Tivsh A!r; Clean Premises.
Fresh air kills the cerebro
spinal meningitis germs. These
germs placed in the open a:r die in
from twenty minutes to two hours.
A physician who has treated a
number of cases, stated recently
that housekeeper's should sun bid
ding and bed clothing every sun
shiny day ana thit the homes
should be thrown open frequently
to allow plenty of fresh air to c;r
aculate through the rooms. The
disease germinates and thrives in
close insanitary houses with un
clean premises. Let in the sun
light whenever there is any and
keep the house clean and there is1
