Laundry Being Sued for Pollution, May 17, 1925

Water Polluted, Cows Dry Up, Babies Hungry, Laundry Sued

Spartanburg, S.C., May 16—Citizens of Valley Falls, this county, threaten suit against the proprietor of a laundry, the dirty waters of which they claim polluted the pasture branch and caused many cows grazing therein to fall in their milk.

Under the South Carolina code it is unlawful to turn refuse water into a stream with fish, and under this statute the families whose babies are suffering for want of milk threatens to sue Proprietor Brannon of the laundry.

Samples of the water are being analyzed in laboratories preparatory to court action.
