IS RIDGWAY'S MILK IMPURE ]?

he then permitted the milk to stand for half an hour and carefully poured off all of the milk except about 20 cubic centimetres or about enough to stand half an inch in the bottom of the boz tie. and in this there was settled d very small amount of sediment which resembled a fine dust. That this sam pie of the milk showed bacterial ce unt of 3.000,00O to the cubic cer- timetre.
 q demonstrated that if there were 3.OO00OO bacteria in each of these 20 cubic centimetres, then there would ,nanifestly be 50 ,000,000 bacteria in the entire 20 centimetres.
 q also demonstrated that the re- remaining milk which had been poured off contained 780 cubic centimetres and this counted 300,000 to the centimetre, and that therefore in the entire 7So cubic centimetres there would be 234,- -0CO 900 bacteria, or 300,00O multiplied by 780. Then by adding 60,0O0,OOO the number of bacteria in the 20 centime- tres, and 34,000.000 in the 7S0 cen tinetres we would arrive at the num- Der of bacteria in the entire bottle, which would be 294000 900. Therefore in one cubic centimetre the average number of bacteria in the entire bottle of milk would be 294,000,0 900 divided by 800, the number of cubic centimetres in the entire bottle, there would be 367.- 800 bacteria The law allowed the milk to contain 100000, showing that this milk was far superior to the re- ouirements of the law.
 MT. Duncan, the milk inspector. tes- tified that he would not say that the milk was unwh olesome and would not say that the milk violated the law as to bacteria count.
 "A number of witnesses took the stand and testified that they had used the Old Dominion milk for months with tine best results. Prominent among these was MT. James Bowron, who brought with him to court his little son Paul, who has been drinking the milk about two a half years and gets all the milk that he can drink. The child is a perfect specimen of healthy child, and was a strong piece of living evidence to offset the charge. We have appealed the case to the higher court and promise to completely vindicate old Dominion milk from the slightest suspicion

 MT E. M. Duncan, the milk inspec- tor. testified that he examined bottle of milk from the dairy and found on the first test taken from the middle of the bottle that there were no patho- genie germs and the bacterial count vas 60 per cent better than the law requires. The law permits the sale of milk containing as many as 5OO.0oo bacteria to the cubic centimetre That

NIGHT RIDERS TERRoRlzE.
Destroy Tennessee Barns and Wound
Several Persons.

Adams, Tenn. - Night riders, well
armed and mounted, visited the
farms of Hugh c. Lawrence and Wash
T. Wicker, within three miles of this
place, destroyed the barns on both
farms, together with 10000 pounds of
tobacco, shot and wounded Lawrence
and his son Bradley Lawrence, and
whipped a negro named Motlow un-
mercifully.
The riders first visited the farm of
Lawrence. He and his son were in
the barn loading their tobacco on wag-
ons and heard the night riders com
ing. They came out of the barn and
started toward the house, and when
within Is or 20 yards of the house
they met ten or a dozen of the riders
and at once opened fire on them. They
returned the fire, wounding Lawrence
in the cheek and hand. and his son in
the leg.
The raiders retreated at the Law
rences' first fire, but rallied with some
ten or fifteen reenforcements and re-
newed the attack, firing 20 or so shots
through the windows of his house,
where he and son had retreated after
emptying their weapons. The Law
rences returned the fire, but no casual
ties occurred. Mrs. Lawrence, who
was in the house, narrowly escaped be-
ing struck by the flying bullets.
