been started to oust Miss Alfredo

coming a member. 1t is claimed that
Miss Galbraith is ineligible because
she has not ben a registered nurse

the board by the governor. but she
did not attend the meeting which was
held recently In the office OF DR.. f.

The reports of the Bureau OF AMI

tuberculosis among live stock is stead

Der of animals found affected at the

is due in part, but only in part, to
the increased efficiency OF the meth,

The meat inspection figures show
that nearly l per cent of the cat

slaughtered are tuberculous. Figures
toirs where Federal inspection is main

pounds of meat was inspected, 10000

nearly three-fourths being for tuber-

Big Spider Caught by Boys and It's
Odd Trap Door Nest,

Mr.. A. W. Pickens of Garvin town.
ship brought to this Office Saturday
an enormous spider which he called
a arolina tarantula. 1t was captur-
ed by some boys on his plantation
The spider WIS an inch and half
long and half an inch broad before
having been killed and drawn to its
smallest compass. Before being killed
it was much larger. The animal was
equipped with ten legs, four at the
prov and six at the stern, and a par.
ticularly wicked looking mouth. The
bite of this spider, Mr.. Pickens says,
is as deadly as that Of rattlesnake,
Some boys on Mr.. Pickens's plan
tation found a peculiar looking hole
in the ground and decided to inves-
tigate. After digging for a while
they came upon an odd looking nest.
Prying it open they found the spider
inside. The nest was provided with
a trap door, which the spider could
close after himself, as he went into
the nest, and would be safe from in.
truders. Mr.. Pickens broukht the
nest to the city with him. 1t was a
very ingeniously eontrived affair and
was of almost as much interest as the
spider itsef.-From the Anderson

The Marathon distance is about
