Game, Featured by Many
Close Decisions
AMERICUS WINS 3 TO 2
Lefty Owen Pitches What Should
Have Been Shut-Out Game,
Except for Errors
Pitching what should have been a
.hut-out game at the
Thursday afternoon, Lefty Owens
won from Blakely by a score of «
to 2. A smaller crowd of fans than
usual saw the game played.
Americus made her three tallies
in the fourth when Collier went to
first on a hit and was advanced on
u pass given Dowis and scored
■when Dojvis went out at second to
Conway. Dumas seeded next on
Parson’s double to left, and I ar
sons crossed the rubber when Neil
forced him Uome with a pass given
Owens. THs ended the run-get
ting, but no more were needed to
win.
Blakely scored twice on a pass (
and a couple of errors by Wade
and Dumas. In this inning a
squabble arose over the decision of
Sergeant Edwards, who wore the
umpire's mask. With Edwards,
Morris and Austin on bases in this
session, Neil singled to sohrt and
the ball was thrown into the
bleacher wire, this making the ball
-dead" and one of play until re
turned to the jiitcher’s position.
This gave Neil, under Americus
ground rules, one additional base,
sending him to second, scoring Ed
wards and Morris and putting Aus
tin on third. Stewart was not fa
miliar with the local ground rules
giving a base on a passed ball which
caused much confusion. As soon
as this was explained, as should
have been done before tho begin
ning o£ the game, the tangle was
easily straightened out, and the
fans, or a majority of them, agreed
the decision was a fair one. There
were several other close and dif
ficulty decisions .in wlfich Stew
art gave satisfactory decisions.

FOR CONSTIPATION
Black-Draught Recommended by
an Arkansas Fanner Who Has
Used It, When Needed,
for 25 Years.
Hatfield, Ark.-Mr. G. W. Parsons, a
well-known farmer on Route 1, this place,
says: ‘‘l keep Black-Draught in my home
all the time. It is the best all-around
medicine I have ever found for the liver
and for constipation. We began using it
25 or more years ago and have used it
whenever needed since. I have never
found any other medicine as good for
constipation, and that was what I suffer
ed with til) 1 began using Black-Draught.
Black-Draught corrected this condition,
and now we use it for the liver and for
indigestion—a tight and sluggish feeling
after meals, for bad taste in the mouth
and sour stomach.
i "My wife uses it for headache and
biliousness. It sets on our shelf and we
don’t let it get out. It has been a great
help to us. I believe a great deal of
sickness is caused by hurried eating and
! constipation, and Black-Draught, if taken
right, will correct this condition.”

Mosquito Elimination
(Continued from Page 1.)
i Whereas it has been demonstra
ted and proven that there is a pre
valence of malaria in Sumter
County detrimental to the public
health, which handicaps commer
cial, agricultural, educational and
religious activities, and whereas
our town and county has just
passed an epidemic of dengue fe
ver, all of which has been proven
to be due to the prevalence of
mosquitoes, which are being bred,
housed and fed in our county.
And whereas the Civic Bodies,
the Chamber of Commerce and the
■ representative citizens of Sumter
county have employed a government
expert, whose ability in field work
for malaria and dengue fever con
trol cannot be questioned as to be-
i ing authoritative, and who have

1 causing the above named diseases, '
we the members cf the Board of I
■ Health do hereby set out certain

■ preventable diseases, to-wit:
Rule No. 1. That Sumter Coun- ■
ty be divided into malaria, dengue
and mosquito controlling areas for
the benefit of the supervision of
i the Commissioner of Health and to
place certain restrictions or duties 1
upon different individuals, officers
or bodies to begin an active cam- i
paign in this work. That these dis-i
Itricts be known as Town, Church.
School, Farm, Business or Irftlus
trial and Home areas.
Rule No. 2. It shall be unlawful ;
for any nerson or persons whether
landlord or tenant to allow the |
breeding or housing of mosquitoes;
upon their premises, where the ’
breeding places can be destroyed, ;
oiled nr otherwise prevented from
breeding mosquitoes within his own
i power or within the jurisdiction to
control same without a large ex
penditure, and in this instance it
shall be his duty to report same to
J th" Commissioner of Health, that
• collective forces may be directed
I toward preventing it being detri
mental to health. The above is to
apply to parties maintaining horse
troughs, hog wallows, barrels, buck
ets,- tubs, cans, and bottles that
breed mosquitoes, that can be in
spected once each week without
materially interfering with other
labors or duties, ami does not ap
ply to the larger ponds, creeks and

dustrial business or corporation to
cause the impounding of water in
which mosquitoes may breed that
would be dettrimontal to health of
the employees or the community.
And it is further required by this
rule that all such places that have
been caused by similar construc
tion of any kind in Sumter county
to be remedied so as not to breed
mosquitoes. It shall also be the
duty of officers, owners & etc. of
■said businesses to provide protec
tion for its employees against mos
quitoes by screening or creosoting
the inside of the houses as the case
may apply.
Rule No. 4. That it shall be the
duty of the farmers of Sumter
; county not only to comply with
| rule No. two, but that they provide
; drainage, creosoting or screening
■ as protection for farm tenants, as
malaria cart iers unprotected are
dangerous to uninfected through
I the mosquito.
Rule No. 5. It shall be the duty
i of the County School Trustees of
■ each school or consolidated school
in Sumter Cuunty to rid each
j school of mosquitoes for a distance
of one-half mile of the school house

• would house mosquitoes for a dis
tance of one hundred yards around
said school building. And it shall
be the duty of said trustees to have
and maintain some sanitary closets
device mosquito proof. It shall be
the duty of said trustees to have
I inspected regularly once every
seven days said premises for mos
, quito breeding places for six con
secutive weeks prior to the open
ing of the fall term of school. It
is desirous that the Principal of

r maintain on their premises for a
radius of one-half mile any breed
ing place for mosquitoes, such as
I bottle, cans, urns or any vessel that
will contain water for a period of
seven days. In view of protracted
meetings where people of Sumter
county congregate it is desirous
and we feel that it will be very 1
beneficial in furthering this work -

those in charge of respective
churches to prevent any possibility
of spread of disease by allowing
the mosquito to breed or have ac
cess to people in churches un
screened.
