Prof. Carey is Diagnosing Disease on
Webb Plantation.
Demopolis, Sept 10. Especially
There is a report that CHAMBERS exists
among the horses on Captain John c.
Webb's Elmwood plantation, and quite
a good deal of concern is felt by stock
men in this section. M
Captain Webb does not%hink the
disease CHAMBERS, but says he thinks 1t
Is a kind of fever that is very serious
in its result. There Is no Question or
the seriousness of the disease, as it is
renorted that Captain Webb has lost
something like sixty head of horses
during the past year.
The grounds upon which Captain
Webb bases his opinion that the dis
ease is not CHAMBERS. is said to be that
horses thrown with those that have
died did not take the disease
The city authorities wired for Prof.
c. A. Carey. the Veterinary expert of
Auburn. and he is now at Captain
Webb's plantation taking observn-
lions.
No one else has lost stock from this
cause in this section that has been
heard from. and 1t is hoped that Mr..
Carey will prescribe something that
will drive the disease out permanently.
Today the local congregation of
Temple B'Nai Jeshuren of this city,
