Spencer is the jockey who rode for
James II. Keene last season. He was
successful, and hailed as the only rival
to Tod Sloan until he lost the Matron
stakes at Morris Park on Commando,
the best year old colt or the year.
Through carelessness-or something
vvorse-de pulled Commando up near the
finish when the race was practically
won, and Beau Gallant beat him home a
neck This exhibition OF riding not only
caused turf scandal. but IT cost him
his position with the MesSFs. .Keene, a.

Since that race he has not been astride
a horse.

DR.. Koch's rash generalization, as
will be seen, was attacked and dis
credited by all schools as based on
insufficient evidence, as solely Mega
tive and as assuming that infection
must begin in the alimentary canal.
1t may begin elsewhere, as DR..
Ravencl points out, the baoilli pass
ing through tho walls of the canal
and multiplying in various glands.
DIR. Raveneps experiments with ami
mails already prove this and, given
years, DR.. Ravenel gives promise of
speaking with rs much weight in
scientific circles, where work and not
fame weighs, as DR.. Koch himself.
DIR. Koch, in short, has called at
tention to missing link in the chain
OF evidence establishing human in
lection from tuberculous cattle. He
has done no more. He has not
shown that any check should OCCUR
to the extirpation of tubercle in cat
tie. 1t is the moro necessary to
insist upon this because various pa-
pors representing the fine cattle in
dustry, like the "Jersey Bulletin''
and others which it quotes are in
sisting that DR.. Koch's paper ends
the need for the destruction of herds
affected with tuberculosis.
1t does nothing of the kind.
Granted that tubercle in cattle is not
communicated to man, the meat and
milk of such cattle is diseased and
the injury done the cattle is enough
to render summary eradication neces-
sary. AS DR.. Edward M. Nocard
pointed out in paper at the London
congress, this disease is everywhere
on the increase among cattle, infec-
ton alone spreads it and the loss
from this cause is greater than from
any other one cause.
The fight against tubercle in cattle
is really the fight of the farmer whose
cattle are properly housed and fed,
In ample room and pasture, against
the devitalized milk machines called
COWS, crowded into narrow quarters
near our great cities, and robbing the
farmer who keeps his COWS in better
condition of his just profits. Such
COWS furnish milk cheap at the cost
OF health, both to COW and consumer.
The wise farmer will aid all measures
which render this milk trade unpro-
fitable by destroying tuberculous cat
tie. Those narrow quarters breed
tubcrcle.

Mr.. and Mrs. William w. Burley,

Parker and Miss Daisy Eugenia Bur

that made them man and wife. The
bride and groom were attended by
Mr.. Earle Harper, of Seneca, with
Miss Pearl Burley, and Mr.. Wood
Whitmire, of Newry, with Miss
Bessie Crawford, of Newry. The
bride was dressed in pure white.
The veil, which swept the length OF
her dress, added to the beauty of her
bridal costume. After the ceremony
pink and white refreshments were
served on the lawn. Pink and white
were the predominant colors of the
beautiful decorations. About one
hundred guests were present. Mr..
Parker is a native of Blacksburg,
Cherokee county, and is worthy Of

My desire and efforts have been tC
defend the character and motives ot
the mill presidents against the
charges preferred. Expansion is one
of the grave offenses, and is one you
are told that units us for furthe,
membership in the Democratic party
1t will be necessary for me to dis.
cuss this question, and it will be
from purely business standpoint
and right here, let mo say, this in
wolves quite different course to that
necessary to a discussion from q
political standpoint. The former
must acknowledge no party nor par
tisan boss, while the latter has for
its foundation, no business principle
but the prejudice which is necessary
TO catch the voter.
fBusiness and politics, especially
partisan politics, do not mix very
gracefully, and if any discussion of
this question from business view
has not the snap of fire in it to whoop
up the masses, it will be because it
is based upon hard sense, facts and
solid business principles. Our friends
would have you believe that we
mean by expansion war, bloodshed,
robbery and pelf. This is not true.
Of all men under the sun, business
men want peace, harmony and good
will, for in these trade is born, nour-
ished, enlarged and expanded. In
enmity, hate and discord trade can
not thrive either between individuals
or nations. We must deal with our
friends and be friends to those who
deal with us. Expansion, as the
mill men understand it, is the reach
ing out from our own shores and
extending into the marts of the
world, with our own ships sailing
under our own flag, ladened with
American products Of the loom, of
tho shop, of the mine and of the
field.
You may ask why do we want
this, as was asked and answered by
one of the speakers at Union the
other day, "Scll your goods to our
own people at home." This country
is producing more cotton goods,
more iron, more wheat, corn and ba-
con and almost of everything else
than wo can consume at home, and
here the question arises, what are we
to do with the surplus There is
only one solution of the question.
We must have an outlet for this sur
plus on terms of equality with other
nations that will enable us to COM
pete with our competitors in foreign
countries, or curtail our productions,
which means fewer wage earners at
lower prices, stagnation in trade and
check to the industries of the
South, and especially the cotton mill
industry.

and industry is producing textile
prod ucts far in excess Of the need Of
