FIGHTING CONSUMPTION.
Cows at State Asylum Said to
Have the Disease.

A Louisville dispatch says suspicion
that COWS in the herd at the Central
Kentucky asylum for the insane were
diseased with tuberculosis was found
to be certainty when the lungs and
intestines Of four animals were exam
ined. The COWS were killed, and one
look at the lungs showed that they
had tuberculosis in an advanced stage
The investigation means the begin
ming OF crusade against consumption
in the state which will result, it Is to
hoped, in largely reducing the death
rate from that disease.
No doubt exists in the minds OF the
state board of health that large per-
centage of the cases of consumption
originate from the use of milk which
comes from cove diseased with Juber-
culosis.

A Returned Georgia Emigrant Gives
Interesting information About the
Dark Continent.

From Howard Fuller one OF the
Georgia negroes, who returned recent
ly from Africa, the Ocilla Dispatch has
CLEANED the following facts about the
dark continent:
Monrovla Ia over 100 years old and
is about as large as Abbeville was be-
fore the railroad was built to it.
There are no wagons, buggiss or
horses. Only few cows. Hogs are
wild and have to be hunted in the
swamps like rabbits. Corn has to be
eaten in the roasting ear state, because
as soon as it is dry the bugs devour it.
Lumber and other building material
has to be brought from England. The
natives live in wretched huts, the tim
Der of which are eaten up every two
or three years by bugs.
Twenty-four cents is a days wages,
but there is little work to do. Flour Is
S15 barrel, bacon % cents pound
and calico 25 cents yard. Everything
else is proportionally high.
Marriage license cost IS each, but as
a sort of Offset the purchaser Is allow
ed to marry five wives. Head men or
chiefs of tribes can have as many
wives as they thinkCthev can control,
and some of them have as many as sixty.
The natives are not very choice as
to diet, monkeys, snakes, Lizards and
other choice meats being devoured by
them with evident relish. Back from
the port towns they make virtue OF
necessity and eschew clothing alto
gether. They go armed each with q
long knife, ana will fee from man
with gun.
The main products of the country are
coffee. rice, corn, insects and jungle
fever.
The winters are fully as warm as it
is here in August.
Land sells for rs cents an acre and is
fertile.

EFFECT OF BOOL WEEVIL.
WHAT THE LITTLE INSECT HAS AL
READY DONE AND MAY DO.
Thousands of Mill Operatives Are Now
Out of Employment as an Indirect Re-
suit of Its Ravages.

Down in Texas, says the New York
World, is small greenish gray bug
only quarter OF an inch in length,
and which has caused this country q
loss of $40, 100000.
1t is creeping northward through
the great cotton belt of Texas at the
rate of Is miles year 1t is the cotton
boil weevil, whose presence means de-
struction to the plantation.
The shadow of its millions is more
portentous than that of storm-cloud,
because in this shadow there lies the
absolute ruin of this country 'sAsscond
greatest export crop.
Within the next decade, according
to scientists, the cotton boil weevil
will, unless its power for ravage is de-
creased, cost the country more snan
5000, OOO,0OO a year. The cotton crop
will be blignted. The price of clothes
and of all cotton manufactures
throughout the world will soar sky
ward, ana we will have to fall back
again upon fabrics of wool.
Among other exploits the boil wee
vii has made millions of dollars'for Cot
ton Dealer Brown of New Orleans, and
for Sully, the big broker of the cotton
exchange, and their associates.
The eyes of both Sully and Brown
were fixed on Texas and the porten-
Jious storm cloud of insects long before
dealers had given the Insect any
thought. They saw vision OF the
future in which the country's cotton
crop would be ruined, and they acted
accordingly.
The wisdom of their judgment has
been borne out in almost every re-
spect.
In the cotton spinning states OF the
east fifteen mills have been shut
down.
Five thousand three hundred and
eighty-six splnners have been thrown
out of employment.
The price OF cotton goods has gone
up alarmiuglY.
The entire financial condition of the
country has been affected.
Exports have been materially de-
creased, and further decreases are vet
to come.
No man could do greater evil to this
country or to the world at large than
TO release few hundred of the Next
can boil weevils in each of the south
ern cotton states.
The crop of Egypt is utterly made
ouate to relieve the situation.
The total cotton crop of the world
amounts to about 100000 oales, OF
which this country furnishes about
IL. OOO, 600 bales and all other countries
2,0O0, 0OO bales.
The product has grown up to this
magnificent total from 870,4l5 bales in
1929. IN the opinion of many planters
it has reached its crescende, and Will
now begin to dwiudle as the dreaded
boil waevil advances until it is practl'
cally ruined.

LEAP A
Optic Called Down for Saying Next
Year Is the First in Eight Years

A correspondent wants 10 know how
The Optic happens to make such q
mistake as to say that the coming
year will be the first leap year for 5
years. Our triena has already for
gotten the teachings OF his arithme-
TIC The solar year is composed of
365 days, six hours, thirteen minutes
and forty-eight seconds. The makers
Of the Julian calendar lightly disre-
garded the trifing minutes and sec.
onds. making the year 365 days and
six hours long by making Of tho six
hours an extra day every four years.
But the sun In his annual course kept
piling up those minutes and seconds.
The Julian year was too short, and by
the time Pope Gregory came along the
people were beginning to be aware Of
the fact that they had several days
coming to them. But the pope could
not devise a way for making them a
present Of the time, SO he threw 1t
away. In order to guard against
further ruthless waste of time, what
does Pope Gregory do but declare that,
as the loss by the Julian calendar
would amount to exactly three days
in four hundred years, he would ar
range his calendar in such a manner
as to omit one day in a leap year of
three Of every four hundred years.
As the people had already got into
the habit of dividing the year by four
to find out whether or not It was a
leap year, he suggested that the lost
day Of the leap year be in the years of
the even hundreds. Thus 1t is that.
in order to find whether or not a year
ending in 90 Is a leap year. 1t Is neces-
sary to divide by 400 insted of four.
We all had to throw away a day for
good luck in 1900, but those who live
until 1000 will not be called upon to
make such a sacrifice.
