State Superintendent of Education
Swearingen has returned from the
Atlanta meeting of the conference
for education in the South much
pleased with his experience at that
gathering.
"Did anything you saw or heard
cause any change of heart in your at
titude against compulsory education
so far as this State is concerned!' he
was asked.
"Not in the slightest" was the
quick response. 81 have always ia
vored any system that will mean the
spread of education, so far as that is
concerned, but don't believe in by.
pocrisy any more in education than
in religion, and as l see them, condi-
tions in this State do not call yet for
general compulsory educational
law, as any such law would be a
farce. see no good in passing paper
laws. In this connection | was inter-
ested while out on this trip in study.

cation laws of other States. Some of

IMPORTANT TO STOCK OWNERS.
Act Prohibiting Importation Of Diseased
/ Live Stock into the State.

/ Live Stock into the State.
Editor COUNTY RECORD
Enclosed herewith you will find
copy of an act recently passed by the
General Assembly of South Carolina
which is of great Importance to
stock breeders of this and other
States.
This act prohibits the importation
of diseased live stock into the State
of South Carolina. Such a law be-
came necessary owing to the passage
of similar laws by other States and
unless this protection had been af-
forded, this State would soon become
a dumping ground for diseased stock
from other States.
Briefly summarized the act is as
follows: Gall shipments of live stock
except those for immediate slaugh-
er, must be accompanied by certif-
cate of health showing that the ami
mails are free from contagious or in
fectious diseases. This certificate can
be issued by the State veterinarian
or assistant State veterinarian of the
State from which shipment is made,
or by a veterinarian in the employ of
the u S bureau of animal industry
or by any competent veterinarian
authorized by the State veterinarian
of South Carolina. All health certifi.
Gates must be in duplicate (these GER
tifcates will be furnished qualified
veterinarians and transportation CON-
panies at actual cost) the original of
which must be forwarded to the State
veterinarian of South Carolina and
the duplicate must be attached to bill
of lading for said ANIMALS"
: All cattle over six months of age,
except those for Immediate slaugh.
\ter, must be tested with, the tubercu-
Bin and must be free of tuberculosis
before they are brought in this State.
Temperature reports of the test or a
certified copy of same must accom-
pany the health certificate. The tu'
berculin test must be made within
80 days preceding shipment.
The penalty for violation Of this
act is fine of not less than $500
and not more than 81, 900 or impris-
onment for not more than one year.
This act also allows indemnity for
tuberculosis and glandered animals
destroyed by the State authorities.
Previous to the passage of this act
no indemnity has been allowed. This
act will undoubtedly prove of great
value to stock owners in this State
and to facilitate shipments of live
stock into South Carolina, the publ
cation of this act in your, paper
would be highly appreciated. Any
further inquiries regarding this law
will be promptly answered.
Respectfully yours,
NJ RAY POWERS,
State Veterinarian.

Mr.. Hale intimates that national

But this threatened hardship upon
