One Great DimcuIty.

1T has been demonstrated beyond the
shadow OF doubt, that an animal suffering
from tuberculosis can be picked out. But
the trouble lies in the fact that the dis
ease is most prevalent among the high
grade 'pampered' animals. The owners re-
sent the idea Of federal interference. and
up to the present time they have fought
against federal, state and municipal in
specpon. A COW suffering from pIeuro-
pneumonia or foot and mouth disease soon
dies. But an animal infected with tuberou-
losis may continue to produce milk for
years, with no outward symptoms Of dis
ease. When she is worn out she is stiIl
salable for beef to the local butcher. and
the owner suffers no loss. The result Is
that the owner through ignorance, stupid
ity or both, resists any inspection proper
sition which might affect his pocket
1--WE are today on the eve OF a revoIu-
ton In our sanitary methods. and / believe
that before the tuberculosis congress ad-
journs il will take steps toward calling the
attention Of the country and Of the world
TO the necessity for legislation which will
protect the consumer from danger through
the use OF infected milk and butter. The
time when such legislation will be enacted

Hogs Also suner.

The same is true of hogs. especiaIlv
those which are bred and fed on dairy
farms. 1t has never been demonstrated
that human being contracted consump-
uoh from eating the meat of an animal
| attected by tuberculosis There are two
prime reasons for this In the first place
degree of heat sufficiently to properly
, COOK pork or beef will certainly destroy
the bacihi OF consumption. Again the dis
ease attacks the Emphatic glands and the
Viscera and those are parts not usually
eaten But on the other hand, the hogs
slaughtered by the packers Of Chicago
I Omaha, Kansas City. Buffalo and other
points which are condemned by the federal
inspectors are almost always traced back
TO dairy farms and frequently to the ex-
pertinent stations. The natural Inference
Is that these hogs contract the disease
from infected cattle. Now II hog can con-
tract consumption from drinking tho mill,
| or COW infected with tuberculosis n
follows that an Infant may be, and un-
doubtedly is. equally susceptible to con-
tract the disease from a like source Con-
sequently It would appear to be the duty
or the federal government TO step in and
absolutely prohibit the traffic in milk and
dairy products, butter and cheese. from
one state to another without federal in
spection of the herds which supply the
dairy products.

NEGRO IS SHOT
 BY BURGLARS

Two negro burglars entered the home of Lawrence Sims, respected negro, at Twentieth street and Avenue L. Ensley, late last night and after robbing him shot him in the lower part of his body. Policeman John Wren succeeded in cap- turing one/of the negroes. but the other was still at large at an early hour this morning.
 The burglars broke Into Sims house and demanded that he give them all the money he had, threatening him with death if he refused. Sims proceeded to give them his money, but the amount was not sufficient to satisfy the negroes. whereupon one took deliberate aim and shot Sims.
 Echols & Angwin's ambulance was sum- moned and carried him to St. Vincent 8 hospital. But little hope is held out for his recovery.
 Sims is a hardworking negro and has won the respect of the white people with whom he came in contact. He has &C., quired little money, owning his home, and works for the Tennessee company. Great indignation was expressed at the outrage by the white people who heard of the affair.

CONDEMN NIGHT RIDERS

Talladega, October 15.-(special) )-For the first time the Louisville and Nashville train stopped and delivered passengers at the new depot yesterday. The new sta- tion is a beauty, of which the citizens are proud. and very great improvement over the miserable hoyel of which Mayor Wellington vandiver formally filed writ ten complaint before the railroad com mission five years ago. The floors are tiled, the baseboards are of marble, the toilet rooms are finished in marble, the roof is of red tiles, the gutters copper, and the approaches to the station ara covered with concrete walks. It is sup posed that the present furniture Is but temporary, as the seats are the only second-class things about the entire de- pot The cost of the new station is about sS5,o00.

The city council has an engineer at work making a survey of the little creek and it's tributaries that drains the north ern and western part of the city, with a view of preventing the overflow always accompanying very hard rain. Portions of the city along Battle street are fre- quently flooded with water during rain storm. The ditches that empty Into this creek are often stopped with weeds and debris rendering it highly dangerous to the health of the nearby inhabitants. It is proposed to drain this waterway at the expense of the contiguous property own CTS. and as there are many of them the supposition is that the tax will be small on each owner. w. s. Morton of Nash vile, the engineer, will submit profile and blue prints. as well as an estimate of the expense within the next week.
 Congressman W. B. Craig of this dis trict has published six speaking appoint ments of this county, running from oc- tober 19 to October 21. J. o. Middleton Of Chiffon is the republican candidate in this district but 1t Is not thought he will de- velop any alarming amount of strength. Congressman Craig is locally popular, and he has succeeded in really doing something for the city of Talladega- that is he has secured federal building, and the people feel that he deserves their sup port for this act alone, if for no other.

He stated that since his residence in Jefferson county he has seen enough in the crowded condition of the courts to justify his favoring the for nation of new county and that he had also lived for nine years in Tuscaloosa county, and could readily appreciate the convenience that a court at Bessemer would give to the residents in the par tion of that county that will be taken in the new county He expressed strong belief that the amendment would carry.
