more prevalent among the horses Of
this city during the past two months
than for some little time, has caused
renewed precautions to be taken. In
the meantime what was expected to be
an important factor in the work has
disappeared. A case had been prepar-
ed against a local veterinarian, charg-
ing him with allowing a horse with
CHAMBERS to be kept alive and not max
ing a report to the Board of Agricui-
ture and Forestry, as is provided by
law.
Apparently a strong case had been
made out, but, just day or two be-
fore a warrant was to be sworn out,
the owner of the horse, who would
have been the principal witness, was
unllind enough to die. While it is pos
sible that the case may still be strong
nesses are being looked for and action
in the matter has been postponed.

and asked fer definite statement as
to whether or not he would be in the
campaign for the United States SEN
ate this summer to succeed Senator
Gary. Col. Johnstone was told by
your correspondent that there seemed
to be an impression among some in
South Carolina that he had not yet
announced. and that it had been stat
ed by persons in different parts of the
State that they did not know whether
or not he was in the race.
"You may state," said Col. John
stone, "that will be in the cam
paign. thought that I had made it
clear that I would be in the race, and
regret that there has been any mis-
apprehension. I will in a few days
have something to say in regard to
the issues which propose to discuss,
and the platform upon which I will
make my campaign" ="
This positive statement made by
Col. Johnstone will dispel any doubts
which may have been entertained as
to his candidacy.
Col. Johnstone stated that he ap-
preciated the many assurances of sup
port which he had received from ev-
cry section of South Carolina, and
that he felt very much encouraged in
making the race.-Newberry Herald
