Christmas has come and gone and
many vissitudes of men and business
have TRANSFERRED. Also, another year
with its responsibilities are on us and
a new era and its accumulstions will
soon heap their liabilities.
The visitors to the neighborhood
and from it elsewhere during the
the holidays are too numerous to
mention.
Many happy Christmas dinners
have b. en- eaten and many chickens
and turkeys have paid the penalty
by their lives.
Spectator and family have enjoyed
the pleasures of a wedding and a mar
riage feast with relations in Orange
burg county. The occasion was a
happy one, but no one was made
merry on new wine.
The rise in cotttn has made our
farmers more hopeful and a determi.
nation to meet the demands of the
new year is evident every where.
Ga Saturday morning of the 23j,
after FIVE o'clock in the morning, a
disastrous fire broke out in Swansea
and destroyed the CAN'T Hotel and a
store house belonging to d.. j. L
Johnson. It was with great difficulty
that the store of R.st & Bro and q
three roomed cottage, also owned by
Dr.. Johnson, we're saved. The hotel
was owned by Thomas Martin and
estimated to be worth about $4,000.
Over it was an insurance of Sl,l50.
Beneath it we're two commodious
store rooms, one of which was used
as a furniture store by Rist & Bro,
and in which also was the harness
business of Bascomb Rast. A total
interest Of Rsst Brothers of over
$1,000 on which was an insurance of
about 5000 The store house of
Rast & Bro. was damaged and a
heavy damage on the stock Of goods
was sustained in carrying out and
bringing back. They have occupied
the entire time since in trying to
arrange for business again.
The fire broke out in the store
room Of DR.. j. L. Johnson, which
for several weeks had been unoccu-
pied by any n at all. Over this
store and the three roomed cottage
which was saved, d.. Johnson held an
insurance of $500. The value Of the
store by the carpenters here is said
to be from 5000 to $3.50. It is agreed
on all sides that the fire was the work
of all incindary.
Mrs. L. '. CAN'T kept the hotel
and sustained an almost total loss
of her entire outfit of household and
kitchen furniture, and also clothing
of herself and family, over all Of
which there was no insurance
whatever, but she and family have
sustained an entire loss.
Mrs. CAN'T and family have the
sympathy of the whole people and
have received many donations from
our citiz ,ps in token of their friend
ship anc kind feeling.
Rev. W. G.. Gleaton has arrived
to take the place vacated by u es-
teemed friend T. J. McFarlane.

Danger In Tub.rculou. Cows.

The Chicago College of Physicians
and Surgeons recently made a report
to the Illinois Board of Live Stock
Commissioners. Among other things
they say:
The Chicago statistics show that one
in eight OF the total deaths in the city
is due to tuberculosis Consumption.
In Buda Pesth, Vienna, Paris, Berlin
the older countries-this figure
amounts to one in four. According to
the census of 1890, 100000 people with
tuberculosis died in the United States
during that year. The statistician of
the census bureau, VIM. King. writes
that he thinks that statistic is too low
by 30 per cent. DR.. Vaughan esti-
mates that there are 100000 people in
the United States with tuberculosis on
any given date. The death rate from
tuberculosis far surpasses the death
rate from any of those diseases that
we make such strenuous efforts 10
combat. 1t destroys four and one-hali
diphtheria, typhoid and smallpox com.
bined. 1t destroys lives just at the
time when they are Of greatest service.
According to Leyden, of all the people
dying between the ages of 10 and 60,
one-third die of tuberculosis. These
are the years when the community
needs the services of the father or
mother.
In Illinois there are over 1000, 900
mich cows representing a value or
more than S30,000,000. Each tubercu
lar COW is source of danger to all
persons drinking milk and to every
other domestic animal in the stalls,
No one can deny either OF these facts.
There is an almost general acceptation
OF the idea that milk from cows with
tuberculous udders is virulent. The
report on tuberculosis of the Council
OF the British Medical Association. is
sued in January, 1899, after giving the
death rate in children. from the dis
eases of childhood and from tubercu-
losis, concludes: THE mortality from
tuberculosis In early childhood is not
decreasing as it is at other ages in
the United Kingdom, and the opinion
that this great prevalence of the dis
ease in infancy and childhood is due
to infection through the alimentary
canal by milk from tuberculous cows
appears to be we'll founded. Delepine,
OF Manchester, gives the following tig-
ures for London. 1897: deaths from
abdominal tuberculosis in children I'M
der one year of age, 6l9; deaths from
lung tuberculosis in children under
enc year of age SO. He concludes:
Deaths from tuberculosis in children
under one year of age usually occur
after the child has been fed for from
three to six months on cows milk"
The Massachusetts State Board of
Health reports for the years 1892 to
1896 show that s per cent of total
deaths of children under one year of
age were due to abdominal tubercu-
losis.

What tuberculin is. to the bovine
species. mallein is to the eQuines. By
its use CHAMBERS can be detected with
that are apparently free from any
disease, when tested with mallein
prove often to be so far advanced with
the disease that isolation Is necessary
to prevent them from becoming CEN
tiers for the spread of the disease
Horses that are tested with mallein
are not slaughtered unless they are
far advanced in the disease. The
horses that respond only lightly to the
test are placed under good conditions
and frequently recover. The reliable
ity of the test is thus referred to in
the last report of the live stock COM
missioners of Illinois: Without the
use OF mallein during the past year,
many animals that were very serious
ly affected would undoubtedly have
been released after the expiration of
the usual period of ninety days, and
considered sound, only to have event
ually developed the disease and be-
come new centers OF infection. The
Board rarely destroys an animal that
reacts to the mallein test upon one
test, unless there are some clinical
symptoms present, since the expert
ence OF the previous two years clearly
indicated that many incipient cases
where the individual animal reacted,
Tho nInlicu ~ n pna r1 ha
been to conduct several tests at inter-
walls OF thirty to sixty and sometimes
ninety days. holding the animals in
quarantine, and then destroying those
that persist in reacting to the several
tests. In no case so destroyed has the
Board failed to discover, upon post
mortem examination. the glanderous
LESSONS. and in no case where the re-
actions have, during successive tests.
diminished or disappeared, has the
Board failed to find, upon post norton
examination. evidence OF process OF
recovery. Hence, 1t is fair to con-
clude that during several tests at in
tervals of sixty or more days. If there
Is a gradual subsistence OF the reac-
tion, and the reaction disappears, that
the animal has recovered and may
with safety be released from quaran-
tine"
The above quotation shows the prog
ress that has been made in the study
of such diseases. The old method OF
treating horses known to have CLAN
iers was to kill and burn them or
bury them deeply, under the belief
that the disease was always ineurablo.

Whether a man shall sell his milk

besides the price. II he can get five

he could selling it to the creamery he
