MAN AND cow
WILL BE WIPED OFF THE EARTH
SAYS NATHAN STRAUS,
The Great New York Phiianthropist,
by Tuberculosis, Unless 1t Is
Fought Successfully.


Cows and men are in danger OF
ultimate extinction through tuber-
culosis, declares Nathan Straus. OF
New York. This startling announce
ment was made by the New York
philanthropist in paper read be-
fore the International Dairy congress,
at Budapest, Hungary. AS the result
of IS years spent in warning against
tuberculosis he declared that he is
convinced that time and persistence
in present methods will certainly
assure the extinction of the dairy
industry and of the human race.
Insisting that the great white plague
exists and spreads among cattle and
among people largely because of the
peril of tubcrculous milk, Mr.. Strans
said:
''Tuberculosus cows bear healthy
calves and straightway infect them
with this disease through the milk
that they give to their young, and
when the calves are weaned these
diseased COWS supply the germs OF
the white plague to the human beings
who use their milk. Thus we are
inviting the determination Of the
dairy industry and of the human
race, for this plague is increasing
both among cattle and among men.
and it will increase like the spread
ing Of a fire so long as the milk
s.warming with tubercule bacilli is
used as food for calves or babies.
There is mathematical certainty
rs to this fact.
Eighteen years ago I declared
that it would soon be regarded as
crime to feed 4 young child upon
milk that had not been pasteurized
I was optimistic. Intelligent farmers
now regard it as folly to feed calf
or q pig with unpasteurized milk
unless they know by the tuberculin
teSL tudI luG CO" llcc llOLn lubSi-
culosis, but Chicago is the only city
In the world that takes such precau-
tions to save its people from tuber-
culosis."
AS for the consequence Of dairy
men selling tuberculous milk Mr..
Straus pointed out that there had
been in New York city in two years
an increase of 33 per cent in the
number Of new cases OF tuberculo-
sts, fact which the Health depart
ment of the city tried to explain,
but did not deny. At this rate, he
said. within a generation the great
wealth of the American metropolis
would be insufficient to provide hos
pitals for the tuberculosis patients.
Mr.. Straus said that bovine tuDer-
culosis now costs the American farm
er s14,OO0,000 a year. and the i'm
mediate killing Of all the tuberculo-
sis dairy cows. If it could be effected,
would cost billion, but that pasteur-
ization would infallibly kill the
germs Of tuberculosis and all other
disease germs that might be in the
milk.

MANY KILLED
By Earthquake Shock in the
South OF France.
MANY PERSONS HURT
The Full Extent of the Disaster Not
Yet Known-Great Suffering is
Reported in Remote Districts,
Where Food Is Lacking-The
Monetary Loss is Very Heavy.

A dispatch from Marseilles says
from rs to 100 dead and 100 injured
is the estimate of total casualties
as to the result of the earthquake
which devastated several towns and
villages in the southernmost part OF
France, particularly in the depart
ments of Hourie and Bouches-de-
Rhone.
Great suffering is reported from
the remoter places, owing to lack
of bread and the necessaries of life
before the arrival of assistance. The
casualties may be greatly increased,
as the ruins have not yet been en-
tirely searched. The villages OF
Saint Cannat and Rognese were COM
pletely demolished by the earthquake
and Lambesic, which is II miles
from AK, suffered heavily. Accord
ing to advices received number OF
the wounded are still imprisoned in
the ruins, and soldiers are working
desperately to rescue them.
Survivors are sleeping in tents
and the streets are impossible. In
many places they have been torn
up and are encountered with masses
of wreckage. Houses, public build
ings and churches are crumhled to
pieces.
Among other villages seriously
damaged are Vanvenargues, Vanelles,
Pelissanne, Puy-ste-Reparade and
Argulles.
The victims at Saint Cannat and
Rogneses were horribly mutilated.
There were evidences that several
of the victims had lived for hours
imprisoned by the debris before they
died. The people rushed into the
streets when the first shock occurred,
crying out in terror. Many of them
returned to the rescue of their fam
lilies.
AT Rognese a family of four were
buried in the ruins. Their cries
could be heard throughout the night,
but all were dead in the morning,
when rescuing party reached them.
! At Saint Cannat an old man and
his son were watching billiard
game. They were instantly killed.
The players escaped with slight
bruises. The chateau Val Mousse,
near Saint Cannat, was badly dam
aged. The communal chateau at
Arguilles was split in two. The
historic village of Vernegues was
wrecked, but no one was killed.
The monetary loss in the affected
district is very heavy.

CLEMSON WANTS THE EDITORS
And They Arc Likely to Gather at
the College.

It is likely that the South Caro-
lima Press Association will hold its
1910 meeting at Clemson College.
The college authorities have extend
ed the editors of the State a cordial
invitation to come to the college
then and spend a week. the college
authorities to pay the expenses Of
weeks entertainment out OF their
own pockets.
This is done because of the recent
discussion that has been going on
over the S.ate about the management
Of Clemson. The college authori-
ties say they want the newspaper
men to come there and personally
inspect the plant and workings of
the college, and write afterwards
just how they feel about the mat
ter.
This will appeal strongly TO many
of the newspaper men over the State,
and it is thought the Press Associa-
ton will accpet the invitation. Il

FAMILY LIVED IN STUMP.
They Build Cosey Home in q
Gigantic Cedar.

A dispatch from Seated, Wash.'
says with seven children and a fat
wife, John Seivert. lately from Iowa,
is living in a stump in the northern
part of that city.
Selvert went to Seattle several
months ago. He had but little mon
ey and a large family. Because OF
the great boom there he was unable
to find an empty house and resolved
to build one Of his own. He bought
an unimproved lot in the north part
Of the city, in district where log
ging operations ceased but a year
ago, and on going out to plan his
house he found half the lot occu-
pied by a gigantic cedar stump thir-
ty feet high and eighteen feet In
diameter ten feet above ground.
Wwith an auger and saw Seivert
cut out seven-foot section from the
south end, and walked into his
stump. The walls were found to be
fifteen inches thick and the whole
stump was a hollow shell. He cut
out windows, laid a tight floor and
made ceiling of planking and floor
ing.
With an auger and saw Selvert
twelve feet above ground, went in
side and made the windows for the
second story. Third story was. con-
structed and tight roof of shiplap
and shingles was made over the
top.
Seivert peeled off the bark and
painted the stump light green and
the window and door frames pure
white. The whole makes very
pretty home at cost Of only $40.
and the owner has refused $4,000
for his unique abode. p

State relates a case that should be
warning to all people. He says
Mr.. John Wallenburg, one of the
prominent citizens OF that city, was
fined $40 by a postolfce inspector for
an alleged violation Of the postal
law. The inspector informed him
that about year ago he inclosed a
line or two Of writing in fourth
class package and that he was due
Uncle Sam $40 for 1t. At first Mr.
Wailenburg had no recollection of
such a violation, and refused to pay
1t, declaring that he would carry the
matter into the courts. He after
wards remembered, however, send
ing a package OF photo films, and he
labeled each one and stated how
many OF each he wished OF the deal
er. He then went TO the postotlice
and asked the clerk to weigh 1t,
intending 10 pay first class postage
rates. paying on one ounce, but the
inspector says ii weighed two ounc-
es, and he was due $40 for the same,
as it was violation. Mr.. Wallen
burg paid the $40 as it would have
cost him a good deal to have the ca aSe
brought into court.

CORPORAL SHOOTS CAPTAIN, 2
OTHERS AND SELF.
Soldier Became Enraged After Be-
ing Reprimanded for Staying Over

Leave.
A dispatch from Des Moines, Iowa,
says Corporal Lisle Crabtree Sum
day probably fatally shot Capt. John
C. RAYMOND, commanding officer Of
Troop B, second U. S. Cavalry, at
Fort Des Moines; shot and seriously
injured First Sergenat James H..
Washburn and Corporal Elijah Such,
who attempted to disarm him, and
then shot himself, the bullet strik-
ing rib above the heart and crush
ing the bone. He may recover.
Crabtree had been reprimanded by
Capt. Raymond because of failure
to reprot when leave of absence
had expired. He had spent the night
in Des Moines and was to have re-
turned to his barracks at a. m.
The corporal insisted he had leave
of absence until o'clock Sunday.
Captain Raymond accepted this ex-
planation, but later Crabtree de-
manded that he be transferred to
another department Of the army.
This Capt. Raymond refused to con-
slider, telling the corporal he could
not do that as long as he was not
good soldier.

volver, and began firing. Sergeant

The Boil WseyiI Mil he Here in
Eigh Years.
GOVERNMENT figures
Experiments to Find Substitute for
Cotton in Mississippi, Where Roll
Weevil Plays Havoc-Thinks Rice
Wculd Thrive in That Territory as
abundant Lakes Are Helpful.

That is will be eight years before
the boil weevil will reach the South
Carolina cotton fields is the estimate
which John F. Siattery, of the Unit
ed States Agricultural Department,
who is in Charleston on a visit to
relatives and friends places upon the
eastward movement Of the insect
which ha- aged such havoc with
cotton in the Southwestern States
and which is gradually making its
way east. 1t is also the opinion of
Mr.. Slattery that the boil weevil will
not do the harm in the eastern part
of the cotton belt that it has done
in the west on account OF the dii-
ferent conditions, attending the cul-
tivation and growth Of the plant.
The opinion of Mr.. Slattery, who
is in charge Of an experiment sta
tion at Greenville, Miss, will be in
teresting and reassuring to the South
Carolina farmers, who are counting
the seasons when the terrible boil
weevil strikes this section of the
country. 1t is generally said that
the boil weevil should reach the
coast section in five years, but Mr..
Slattery, whose opinion is worth a
great deal, says that this is too fast
record for the travel Of the iD-
sect, under existing conditions, and
he does not believe that the crop in
South Carolina can possibly be reach
ed by the insects before eight years.
Mr.. Slattery has had experience
with the boil weevil and in fact the
purpose of the experimental station,
which Mr.. Slattery is conducting un-
der government auspices in Missis-
sippi, is to find substitute crops for
cotton in a section Of country where
the boil weevil has played havoc.
Rice is one OF the crops with which
Mr.. Slattery is demonstrating, and
with the many lakes through that
section of the country, Mr.. Slattery
thinks that by the use of pumps. for
| irrigation, the area of rice cultiva-
ton has been affected by the in
| sects.
The boil weevis thrive, Mr.. Slat-
| terry said, on the high growth of the
cotton plant Of the west. In this
section, the plant does not grow as
tall, is not as thick in its foliage and
with less shade and protection from
the sun, Mr.. Slattery thinks that
the boil weevils will lose some OF
| their terror.
Slattery is interested in the rice
| industry Of this section, and is hope
full of the coming crop proving
success. Until few years ago.
