NORMAN E. MACK
Unfolds Plans for the
Coming Campaign.
MUCH Time IN THE WEST
Declares That Everything
Looks Bright for Sue
cess of the Ticket.

New York, August 3.-Plans for the
direction of the approaching national
campaign have been unfolded by Mr..
Mack, chairman of the democratic ma
tional committee, on his arrival here to
organize the eastern headqnarter of the
committee in this city. Mr.. Mack will
spend practically his entire time in the
west during the campaign and the fight
in the east will be conducted by sub.
committee of the national committee,
which will be announced in Chicago
this week. Mr.. Mack said there was
entire harmony between himself and
Chairman Connors, of the democratic
state committee, and that the national
committee would not interfere with the
nomination of the NewYork state ticket
or with the state campaign.
MIR. Mack will hold conference at the
Hoffman house with national commit.
teemen from the eastern states as to
the makeup of the sub committee,
which probably will be composed of
about fifteen members. While Mr..
Mack will be chairman of the commit
tee, a vice chairman will be appointed
who will have charge of the eastern
wing of the committee.
Mr.. Mack held conferences today
with Urey Woodson, secretary of the
national committee, and Roger G. Sui
livan, national committeeman from H.
linois. Headquarters will be selected
here before Mr.. Mack goes to Chicago.
Mr.. Mack said on his arrival from
Buffalo today:
81 have heard from committeeman
and prominent democrats all over the
country, and while it is too early to
make forecasts, I can say at this time
that the future appears bright for sue

ready to do all he can. Judge Parker
accepted Immediately tender of po.
sition on the advisory committee and
will do whatever the committee asks
him. Gov. johnson also accepted O
position on the same committee with.
out delay.
OF state affairs Mr.. Mack said.
"The democratic state committee in
New York is thoroughly competent and
able to handle the situation withou,
any further interference from the ma
tional committee. Let me say that the
state chairman and l are in perfect &C.
cord.
"The subcommittee which will have
direction of the national campaign il
the east will be made of strong mer
and capable of conducting an efficien
cam paign. The state committee hal
never been 30 strong. Altogether ev
erything will be done to make a strong
fight in the eastern states. expec

TO VACCINATE The HOGS.
Department of Agriculture
Has Discovered Potent
Cholera Serum

Nashville, Tenn, July STEAMERS
all over the state will be interested in
the announcement that the department
of agriculture of the state will in few
weeks send out data ON the cure of
cholera, which has played havoc with
so many herds of swine over the coun-
try.
Recently, through experiments con-
Quoted under government supervision,
the discovery of hog cholera serum has

conducted it has proved successful and
it is probable that within the next few
years no farmers medicine chest will
be complete unless there is sufficient
cholera serum in it to protect a herd of
swine from the ravages of the disease.
Likewise the use of the serum may
be discouraged by numerous patent
medicine coxcerns which have flooded
the country with alleged hog cholera
remedies and failed to prevent the
spread of the disease or effect cures in
many instances.
The process is one after the method
employed in smallpox and diptheria.
A hog that has had the disease and re-
covered is taken and its tail cut off SO
as to get the blood from which the
serum is made. This serum is injected
into the blood Of whole herd of swine
and the herd is rendered immune.

Secretary to the Governor W. d.
Scruggs has returned from Jackson

Gov. Patterson, and announces that
nothing definite has been announced
by the commission that is considering
the site for the West Tennessee Expert
ment Station, although decision is
expected within a few days, or just as
soon as the claims of the various cities
and counties after the location of the
station and model farm shall have been
gone over by the commission. Indica-
tions, however, point very strongly to
the selection of Jackson in Madison
county as the place to be named by the
commission. as the commission met
there and considered the claims Of that
county, all expressing themselves az
gratifed at the splendid showing made
in the matter of bonuses, etc., offered
for the location.
Only the claims of Jackson and Tren.
ton were heard at the meeting Of the
commission, but Humboldt, Milan,
Union City, Dyersburg, Huntingdon
and Greenfield are also after the loca'
tion of the experiment station and have
met all the requirements stipulated by
the act appropriating the money fol
establishing such an institution in the
western portion of the state, and the
commission will carefully consider all
these claims. Nashville Banner.

BANK LAWS CONFLICT
National Bank Can Not
Guarantee Depositors
The STATUS OF OKLAHOMA.
Decision Which will Cause
No End of Trouble in
the New State.

Washington, Aug. In a formal
opinion rendered by Attorney General
Bonaparte on the request of Secretary
Cortelyou of the treasury, it is held to
be illegal for any national bank to en-
ter into contract or other arrangement
with state officials for the purpose of
creating a guaranty fund out of the
banks deposits, or capital stock, to be
used in paying the depositors of any
bank included within the terms of
state statute any deficiency there may
be in the amount to be received by
them from assets of such bank in the
event of its failure.
Secretary Cortelyou requested the
attorney-generals opinion as to the
legal right of national banks in the
state of Oklahoma to contribute iowa
theguaranty fund or to avail themsel YES
of the other privileges of the state
banking act.
In the course of an extended opinion
Attorney General Bonaparte says:
"The statute of Oklahoma to which
you call my attention creates state
banking board, composed of certain
designated state officers, and requires
the said board to levy against the capt.
tai stock an assessment of per cent. of
the banks daily average deposits, with
certain deductions, upon each and ev-
cry bank organized and existing under
the laws OF this state. This assessment
is to constitute what is designated as a
'depositor's guaranty fund, and addi-
tional assessments are to be levied
against the capital stock of the banks,
proportionately to the amount of their
deposits, SO as to always maintain the
fund at the designated amount.
'It is generally recognized that a
national bank has no power to guaran-
tee the obligations of a third party,
unless in connection with a sale or
transfer of its own property, and as an
incident to the banking business.
"It has been argued that the bank in
this case would not guarantee the obli-
cations of other banks, but would only
agree to put the state of Oklahoma,
through its banking board, in funds to
make effectual such a guaranty on it's
part. In think this is distinction
without difference.
81 have not overlooked the fact that
by the terms of the proposed contract
between the bank in question and the
state or it's banking board, the said
bank agrees to do nothing which shall
be in conflict with the federal law; but
this publication is not relevant, for the
entire contract is ultra wires, for ma
tional bank is prohibited by the intent
of the statute. hold that such is the
fact with respect to the contract pro-
posed in the case; that it is illegal for
the officers of any national bank to en-
ter into such an agreement as is con-
templated by section of the Oklahoma
statute, and that persistent and willful
action to this effect on the part of any
such bank would be just cause for the
forfeiture of its charter.

special care and feeding, and o tonic
added to their drinking water, for
which the following formula is one
among the best 1 ever used: One gallon
of water, sne-half gill sulphuric acid,
one-fourth ounce quinine, two ounces
cayenne pepper, one-half pound sui
phate of iron. This must be kept in a
Jug tightly corked. One tablespoonful
OF this mixture to two quarts of water
is about the right proportion. Give
also daily allowance of raw lean beef
ground if possible into what is called
Hamburg steak; some green vegetables
such as apples, cabbage or onions.
Plenty of clean straw should be kept
in their apartments to keep them clean.
Ii white birds they should be kept
away from any coal smoke. In this man
ner they can be hept clean as though
they were washed and with much less
danger from taking colds or roup.
Do not feed much at time, SO as to
keep them busy scratching. If stock
has been properly kept till show time
their plumage can not be improved by
washing, A wet cloth or sponge to re-
move the dust will be sufficient. Too
much meat or overfeeding often causes
their combs to twist or lop. Topped
combs may be greatly improved by
bathing in alum water or from an ooze
made from white oak bark. Before put.
ting your birds in the showroom their
combs, wattles, feet and legs should be
thoroughly washed and dried with a
soft cloth or towel, after which they
should be rubbed lightly with a little
camforated oil or vaseline. We may
have the best bred birds in the country
and yet they can be easily ruined by
neglect on our part. To have and to
own show birds is first to have well,
bred stock, and, second, to have we'll
cared for stock. These are two essen
tials that must be adhered to. Washing
birds for the showroom is q trade, and
one that scores of good breeders fail to
ever accomplish. 1t is naturally sup.
posed that none except pure white
birds should be washed. Yet many oi
our big exhibitors wash buff and parti.
colored birds. To wash o bird you
should always use soft water, which
should be warmed to a temperature oi
about 80 degrees. Fill a wash tub OF
wash boiler about thirds full anC
after getting the bird thoroughly we
take cake Of soap Cvory is the best ]
ever used and rub the bird until it ha,
formed lather all through the feath
ers. Then begin rubbing and squeez
ing the feathers just as you would il

every feather has been thoroughly
cleansed, after which the bird shoulC
be rinsed through two waters thorough
ly. To the third water you might ado
little ball bluing, but be careful t.
not get too much in the water and t,
get it thoroughly mixed through tn
water. Then place the bird in mic
clean coop with plenty of clean brigh
straw for bedding, and placing it in
room with a temperature of about 81
degrees. After few hours dryin,
you are ready for the showroom. Bea
in mind when going to ship show tina
your coops are 80 covered that soa
smoke can not penetrate, for if it doe
you will have dirty coal-smoked bir,
