Upon the death of his grandson
from cholera infantum Rockefeller
donated 100000 to be used toward
finding a cure for that disease. Two
students discovered and isolated

featured therefrom an antitoXin

for dose shall be determined. His
success has been the means of ele-

probably a greaternumber for local
officers. There were 3S3, 1S5 persons
who paid poll taxes on the rolls Of

that the number paying on 1902
rolls will be about 30 per cent
