Mr. Oscar M, Lieber, in bis Geological report to our State Legislature, in 1856, eloquently urged laud drainage as a mat ter of such publics interest as to require the indorsement, if not the nctive legisla tion ot that body. In his seventh reason he pvrtinuutly and forcibly pleads “the resulting improvement in the health of the country.” Dr. Wilson's case aud Mr. Lieber’s re marks, refer to the thorough drainage of both up and low lamia. But, wero our own defective system confined, ns it is, to drainage Uy open drains of our low grounds peifected to the point of thor oughness, and in sente localities,extended to include the removal of submerged logs and rails of miscellaneous matter trom the channels ol our sluggish streams, qrhat wonderful tesults would issue. Prof. T jomy, in the report of his Geo logical survey ol South Carolinn, in 1846, mentions an example illustrative of the latter suggestion. Ia which case, when the removal of obstructions was complet ed the water had falleu three ieet, drain ing some very valuable rich swamps along its banks. The plan is simple, feasible aud unattended with any ex pense of importance, unless more is at tempted than suggested. lu the same article. Prof. Tuomey, goes on to say“ Many of the upper districts present no other possible local cause of disease, than the obstruction of these Stream* and the effect of a warm climate. ..upon the rank growth that generally hue their banka.” The Hon. Edmund ltuffin, of Virginia, who pmaeeded Prof Tuouiev, in the Ueo .. logical survey, was profoundly impressed with the same tact, and in his report, puinted out the beneficial effect ot their removal. ''' The testimony ot Dr. 8. beddings, in a monograph, the Medical Topography of South Carolinn, it in strict adcord with that cited; hut authorities need not he multiplied to demonstrate to the people of this section a tiuisru that U patent to (every obaarving mnn. In the words of Frol. Tuomey “there i* no other possible Joes! (Cause ol disease", among us. Then aha 1 we not make, an eff-ut for rise re moval oi these obstructions and the suffi cient drainage of our lands that must result iu well stored barns, smiling with plenty, and wide spread heahb ? We enumerate health I st, but should it not be first. Tutored by the language of one renowned for his sentinMUit and feeling can at- not exclaim ; “Oh l.lesaed health! Thou art above all geld and treasure, ’t«s thou who enlarges! the soal, aud opeucst all its powers to receive instruction and to rcl i.h virtue. He that has Thee, has little more to wish fori And he that Is so wretched r.s to want Thee, wants every thing with Thee." Up to tins point the attention of the Patrons have been called to the prevalence of malaria a* a source of au tumnnl fevers. Now, however, your cssayest would strengthen his appeal by asserting without fear of refutation, that the fceaded meningitis is u malig nant wieter development of the monster, malaria. One of the most eminent ot medical authorities, says oi the cerebro spinal-meningitis,” it has prevailed in the climates most infested with autumnal fevers, and ull the localities in which it lias occurred are subject to that disease.” In some localities, and under suitable con ditions, it has been treated os a malarial disease, and sometimes with obvious suc cess. But to a greater extent than other diseases on becoming epidemic it fre quently assumes an intractable form, and it only capriciously amenable to any sys tem of treatment. The nature of its treatment, however, is irrelevant. At a future time individual auaceptuhility to this and other malarial influences, with the prophvlactic means deemed most efficient will be presented to your notice. With regard to the removal of obstruc tions from the channels of our streams, several of the most practical farmers ol this community concur in this feasibility. They exprc»* the conviction that the per formance ot this duty, in connection with proper ditching ot our low grounds, will materially increase the resources ol our people, both in money and provisions. Scientist, geologists, chemists, medical men and farmers have all been summoned lx fore you: and their united testimony plainly indicates the course to be pursued. It is not within the province of this paper to devise details for the successful work ing of the suggestions. It is recommend ed however that a “live” Committee be appointed to investigate the matter in a preliminary way, witlt the view of encour aging aud co-operating with, any practi cable measures for increasing our prosper ity, and tor the abatement of the only sys tem of discuses endemic with us. The unexpected length of this papei permits unly a brief allusion to a tow oth er general means of abatement. The drainage of tho higher swamps, highways and Ifolds is quite important, inasmuch as neglecting them would impair to some extent the sanitary benefits of tidying tin low lands and streams. Such drainage is for tho most part, to bo accomplished through the resources of the individual farms; and tho hygienic nature of tin duty should impress every funner with tho c.onviction of its necessity. Every plough furrow promotes in its less potent wuy, at luaat, local health by removing superfluous surface moisture. The itccu mutation of fallen leaves in our pine and oak forests should be collected at certain points or removed to the barn yard for composting, and finally, the house-yard, garden and quarters need attuiilinn to prevent noxious accumulations and sup press this growth of milk and baneful weeds. Respectfully submitted. May 10, 1873. Mkdicus ♦Some thoughts on the Means of Pi minishing tha Prevalence of malarial dis eases; an essay read before Saluda Grange, No. 23, Patrons of Husbandry. The Old Adams F.\|>rcss Difll culty. Some three years ago the Adams Ex press Company was re-organized, aud in the settlement of the affairs of thu old company some of tho stockholders claim cd that the trustees had not properly ac counted for tho stock ol the Southern Ex press Company. These stockholders claimed that when the civil war broke out the Southern property ol tho old com pany was transferred to avoid confiscation to H. B. Plant, to form tho Southern Ex press Com iany, but w ith a secret trust that two-thirds of its stock (fli,000,000) should belong to the old company, ami that the trustees had not accounted for it. The Einsteins brought a suit ou this ground, and the trustees brought a cioss suit to settle the whole question and ob tain an injunction against the further mooting of the question. After some liti gntiou the Einsteins withdraw their clat n aud a decree was grunted in favor of the trustees. A motion was on Monday made before Judge Puncher ou behalf of a number ot stockholders to open this decree ou the ground that there was no fair trial, the Eiusteins becoming discouraged w hen they found the esse had fallen into Judge Cardoxo’s hands, the most important mo tion being heard in “Room 13," and ilu-re being grant Sclav in giving a decision ; that the appearance of several of the stockholders tu the suit was obtained by at least a suppression of the real facts by the trustees, aud that on the reference to Grat* Nathan there was no real account ing or explanation of this Southern Ex press matter. On the other side it is claimed that Judge Cardozo was the defendants’ own sehetion it there was any selection ot judges; that the case was fully and fairly argued, and the final decision was advan tageous to all tho stockholders, and was conclusive on all ot them. The case is r.ot yet c-msludod,—,Y r RV-jf. S.AStiP STOCK OP SEW AND ELEGANT GOODS DAILY ARRIVING. ALL CLASSES OF GOODS WILL BE SHOWN CHEERFULLY AND WITH PLEASURE. Cnll and Examine.
