HUMAN TUBERCULOSIS
Investigations Indicate That It Cannot
Be Distinguished From the Bovine.


According to the public health and ma
rine hospital service the British royal COM
mission has published. under a recent date.
report Of Investigations and experiments
from which the conclusion Is drawn that
human tuberculosis can not be distinguish
ed from the bovine form Of the disease. The
decision Is of great interest as an official
procurement against the theory Of the
duality Of human and bovine tuberculosis.
The announcement of the theory Of du-
atty made by Koch at the tuberculosis con-
ference at London in 1901 created a decided
impression throughout the world, and eS-
pecially In the countries where large sums
OF money are spent in the inspection of beef
for the detection of tuberculosis LESSONS, a
practice having important economic bearing
as tending to raise the price of meat and
dairy products.
The matter was again brought up at the
tuberculosis congress at Berlin, where Koch
he had taken the year before to the effect
that 1t had not been proved that man can
be directly infected by the tuberculosis of
animals; that in the cases adduced in sup
port of this theory 1T had not been shown
that no other sourCe of infection was pos
sible, and that many of the cases brought
forth to support the theory of unity tend
on the contrary to upset the notion.
The general tendency of opinion at the
Rerlin congress was that, pending decisive
knowledge in the matter continuance
of vigilance against animal tuberculosis
was advisable. The wisdom of this opinion
is upheld in the decision just announced by
the British commission appointed to inquire
into the matter.

TO END PACKERS STRIKE
Arbitration Of Grievances Expected to
Occur Verv Soon

A dispatch from Chicago last night says:
Arbitration Of the grievances which pre-
clp1tated the general strike in the meat
packing houses in various parts of the
country appears tonight to be In sight and
conference between employers and strik.
ers will be held tomorrow morning The
Initial step toward a settlement of the con-
troversy by mediation was taken late this
evening by the state board of arbitration.
When the members of the board reached
Chicago they at once went into conference
with Michael ]. Donnelly, the leader of the
STRIKE and then talked with the representa-
tives of the packers.
AS a result of these conferences Mr. DON
nelly sent communication to the packers
In which he stated that the unions were
willing to accept a settlement through a
board of arbitration. After much telephon-
Ing with both parties. a meeting was ar
ranged and agreed to for tomorrow fore
noon. MIR. Donnelly declared tonight that
the arbitration offer of the packers had not
reached him before the strike was called
Both sides seem to be conciliatory, and an
early settlement seems likely.
The entire country felt the effect of the
strike during its first day. Prices Of beef,
pork and mutton were advanced / to q
cents pound at all points where the local
supply did not equal the demand and in
dications point to further advances In spite
of reassuring statements by representatives
Of the packing house interests If the strike
continues.

Both Sides.
Two men were shot and killed and

out to the field where Mckinney, his
father and brother were at work, the
anraged man, without a word, opened
iire, killing Stephen. The elder Nc
Kinney rushed to the rescue of his
son and was himself shot dead. The
brother, too, was seriously wounded.
Officers have started to arrest Will.
liams and trouble is anticipated.
j. NJ. Williams, who fired the fatal
shots, barricaded himself In his home
and detied the ofIi GERS. He sent word

AN INTERESTING CASE.
Two Negro Women Claim to Be the
Widows or Paul Lightaey.

i There was an interesting case al
Orangeburg before Judge of Probat,
Robert e. Gopes a few days ago. II
seems that some time last spring
Paul Lightsey, colored, was killed BY
the fast train OF the Seaboard All
Line railway at the town of Norway
Ia this county. Lightsey was driving
q wagon across the track at the time
he was killed. Mr.. 81. L. SoIomons
took out letters of administration OF
the estate and the railroad company
paid him several hundred dollars as
administrators to settle the claim
against the railway for killing Light.
sey.
After the payment of the expenses
Of administration there remained
quite nice sum for the heirs of the
deceased. He had been living near
Norway for about 10 or IL years and
had wife there by the name Of Re-
becca Lightsey and several children
by her. Rebecca applied to the court
for the payment Of the surplus fundo
to her and children as heirs of Pau!
Lightsey. Then came one Jane
Lightsey fro n Bamberg county and
alleges that she was married to Paul
| LiRhtsey several years age; that he
left her about IA years ago, and she
bad lost sight of him until she heard
OF his death. She has no children.
a hearing was held and q number of
witnesses we're examined before
Judge Copes, and it seems that Jane
Lightsey succeeded in establishing
her marriage to Paul.
Lightsey left no children by his
first wife, Jane, and under the law
his children by his second wife, Re,
becca, are illegitimate, and the ques-
tion now Is what portion of the fund
goes to Jane. Lights'y left several
half brothers and sisters, who live in
Dorchester county, and they are
claiming, through Mr.. NJ. S. Connor,
their attorney at ST. Georges. a.
torney Relllnger, for Jane Lightsey
contends that in case for personal
injuries the damages accrue only to
father, mother, widow or children,
parties specially named in the stat.
utes, and that the funds do not 20
into the estate generally for all the
heir. The interesting question at
present is whether Jane Lightsey will
get more than one half OF the fund
one half being her regular widows
portion under the statutes OF distri-
button; and then what disposition will
be made of the remaining half. Or is
Jane Lightsey entitled to the entire
fund as widow In the absence Of any
| legitimate children and father or
| mother.
