Deadly Worm Found at Mercer.

The scientists connected with the
faculty of Mercer University are very
much exercised over q worm that has
made its appearance in Macon and
spread its poison broadcast. Quite a
number of people have been stung by it,
and the effect has been in nearly every
case somewhat similar to that produced
by rattlesnake bito.
The worm resembles caterpillar, ex-
cept that its shape is little more
blocky, and it is not so long as cater
pillar. When it stings it leaves two tiny
holes in the flesh, and the poison spreads
to all parts of the body in marveiously
short time. No lives have been lost in
Macon from the stings or bites of the
worms, but some serious illnesses have
been reported.
all of the specimens they can find, and
now have nine of tho worms in their
possession, but they say the worms have
never been catalogued, and no one seems
to know what to call them. 1t is known
the that worms feed on hack berries and
the leaves of elms, and it is declared by
some that II q human hand touches the
fuzz that 1t scatters from it's coat as IL
travels along surface tho effect will be
almost as bad as II the fangs of the
worm were Inserted in the hand, but this
is not beloved by those who have been
studying the nature Of the insect.
The best remedy for the sting of the
worm is said to be ammonia, and it has
been applied with good results several
times recently. 1t was suggested be-
cause it Is known that If ammonia Is In.
jected into the flesh at the spot where q
snake bite occurs it is one OF the best
and most certain remedies that medical
skill has devised. 1t is reported that
those people who have been stung by the
unknown worm never get over the effect
entirely, and will for years after have the
horrors at the suggestion of worm oI
bug.

Free Service at Clemson.

1t gives me pleasure to announce to
the farmers Of South Carolina that the
South Carolina Experiment Station at
Clemson College is now establishing a
herd of puro bred cattle, which will be
composed of the following breeds: Jer-
seys, Ayrshires, Devons and Shorthorns.
first-class bull of each of these breeds
will be kept, and if the farmers wish to
breed cattle to these bulls, they can do
so free of charge, provided the cattle are
not infested with Texas fever ticks
therefore all cattle, before being bred,
must be inspected by the veterinarian.
The station hopes to buy some good
grade calves from scrub COWS and pure
bred beef bulls next year; therefore we
are anxious for the farmers to breed to
our beef bulls, and by 80 doing they will
also assist in introducing in South Caro-
lima the long needed beef cattle for our
own markets. B. III. Rawl,
Acting Animal Husbandryman.
