Rock HILL, March 1S-Mr. M. r.
Powers, the assistant veterinarian at
Clemson college was here yesterday
and today making an examination OF
the Winthrop college dairy herd. He
found the cows without exception en-
tirely free from tuberculosis for which
he was testing. He spoke highly of
the Winthrop herd and Of the manage
ment. 1t is rare that a herd Of any
size is found with no affection. AS a
matter Of fact no farm In the country
has a better manager that Mr. John
r. Poag, who has charge OF the Win

He came here to endeavor to straight
en- things out and an earnest prayer
breathes up from one and all that he
may be given power to do so. Mr..
Loyal came down in his private car

The situation here is fearful and "they
say" that 1t obtains thus in almost
every other place.
The mayor and police are making
vigorous efforts to enforce the va
grancy law and on several occasions
last week fines and penalties were
placed. There Is no doubt that this
ordinance created last year sometime
