Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the often overlooked world of house drainage, a topic that was once largely ignored but is now recognized as a crucial element of public health. The author explores the history of house drainage, tracing its evolution from rudimentary systems of the past to more sophisticated approaches. Through detailed descriptions of various drainage systems, including the dangers of outdated brick culverts and the shortcomings of early pipe drains, the book highlights the importance of proper design and construction. The author emphasizes the need for a comprehensive understanding of the principles of house drainage, arguing that a well-designed system should swiftly remove both sewage and rainwater, ensuring a dry and unpolluted site. The book's emphasis on a holistic approach to house drainage, encompassing the efficient removal of waste, prevention of groundwater contamination, and proper ventilation, reflects the growing awareness of the interconnectedness of environmental health and individual well-being. The book's detailed descriptions of various drainage systems, including manholes, gullies, and traps, provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of the intricate workings of a healthy house drainage system. The bookââ â¢s insights on house drainage remain relevant today, serving as a valuable guide for homeowners, builders, and anyone concerned with creating healthy and safe living environments.

Staples rusted but text block remains firm. A good copy of an exceptionally scarce if not rare political diatribe as OCLC locates a single institutional holding (Mississippi State University Special Collections). Features a succinct Preface, b/w portrait photo of the author, b/w image of the Mississippi State Capitol building followed by text sections titled as: "Mississippi in the Jaws of Destruction" (pages 11-15), "Taxation" (16-24), "State Banking Department" (25-29), "State Education Department" (30-43), "State Highway Department" (44-74), "Gravy Train Politics in Mississippi" (75-79), "Results" (pages 80-82), "Character" (82-83), and "Hot Shots" (pages 84-99) - an incongruous collection of the author's favorite maxims and anecdotes composed for speaking engagement jocularity. Although no publishing date is specified, MISSISSIPPI POLITICS was likely issued circa 1935 as the text cites several 1934 government financial figures. In his 2010 book "The Ku Klux Klan in Mississippi: A History" author Michael Newton characterizes William Lycurgus Spinks as "an aging ex-minister, self-styled 'sexology' expert, and all-around flimflam man who once billed himself as the reincarnation of George Washington." Spinks' MISSISSIPPI POLITICS, although certainly containing vehemently racist comments, is more of an anti-government graft commentary than a vitriolic race-baiting example of American hate literature. But it remains an intriguing souvenir an individual who was both a colorful con man and a vile bigot. Fleeing South Carolina in 1930 just ahead of embezzlement charges, Spinks moved to Mississippi where he quickly ingratiated himself with Governor Theodore Bilbo who promptly blocked Spinks' extradition. Spinks' notoriety increased in the late 1930s and 1940s as he unsuccessfully ran thrice for Mississippi public office - twice for state tax collector and once for governor in 1947 - before shifting efforts to Montgomery, Alabama where in August 1949 Spinks was crowned Imperial Emperor of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan of America, one of several contemporary but disharmonious KKK factions. Following a ludicrous September 1949 interview on the Mutual Broadcasting System's national radio program "Meet the Press," Spinks lost favor with other Klan leaders and relocated to a small house, aka his "Imperial Palace," on the outskirts of Jackson, Mississippi and thereafter was increasingly marginalized as other segregationists rose in influence during the state's brutal anti-civil rights actions throughout the 1950s and 1960s. OCLC cites three other Spinks' tracts: "16 Years on the Throne and the Death of the New Deal" (Jackson, MS: 1948; single copy at University of Mississippi) "Hell and Integration" (Millington, TN: 1959; single copy at Michigan State University), and "The Masquerade of Democracy" (Meridian, MS: circa 1939; held by University of Tulsa and Michigan State). Spinks' Magnolia Publishing Company was never officially incorporated per Mississippi Secretary of State's historical business listings. However, government records do cite Spinks as a co-incorporator of The Knights of the New Deal Crusade (1934) and The Over 60 Clubs of Mississippi (1944) with both, given consideration of Spinks' career vicissitudes, were likely, at the minimum, further dalliances with the illicit.
