the acute or chronic form, or may
attack the surface of the body in the
form Of farcy. The acute form Of
glanders begins with a chill, high
fever, the mucous membrane of the
nose Is at first hot and dry and soon
there is watery discharge, which
later becomes bloody. Nodules and
ulcers form on the mucous membrane
of the nose and discharge pus. These
changes in the nose may take place
In two or three days. The patients
become very weak and rapidly lose
flesh.
The first symptoms Of chronic
glanders are not easily recognized
owing to the absence Of distinct SYM
ptoms In the first stages Of the dis
ease. First you will notice a watery
discharge from one or both nos
trils, which later becomes sticky
and Of yellowish green colored pus
with blood coming from ulcers on tho
inside Of the nose.
When glanders affect the skin, it
Is called farcy. One Of the main
symptoms may be the swelling of the
joint with engagement of the limb
and nodules may form along the line
of the lymphatics. These nodules
vary in size from pea to a hens
egg and have tendency to soften
and discharge pus, after which they
heal rapidly. Other nodules may
form following the same course as
the previous ones. Prevention: All
glandered animals should be i'm
mediately destroyed, and not allowed
to come in contact with healthy mai
mails through stables, common drink
ing troughs, harness or any other
stable equipment. All suspicious ami
mails should be isolated until examin-
ed by a competent veterinarian. In
fected buildings should be thorough
ly disinfected with a five per cent.
carbolic acid solution or a one to
five hundred corrosive subilmatic So
luton. Then all wood work should
be white washed.
In doubtful cases Of glanders, the
mallein test Is given. This test should
only be given by a qualified veterin-
arian and until it Is determined
whether a suspicious case is or is
not glanders, the animal should be
kept apart from all other animals
Remember that the disease is oc-
casionally transmitted to the human
and is incurable in man or beast.

a Check on the Fast Meter.

As successor to the State Commits
sion OF Gas and Electricity and the
State Inspector OF Gas Meters the
New York Public Service Commission
has achieved fundamental reforms
I'm the field OF gas and electricity
which can only be referred TO in pas
sing. No gas or electrical meter may
now be Installed until tested and seal
ed as correct by the commission In
former days the State Inspector
would have, say. half-dozen meters
tested out of a lot OF three or four
hundred and " found correct he
would aCcommodiatingly approve as
correct the entire number. This was
like testing a half-dozen eggs on a
farm and then guaranteeing the
freshness Of all the eggt in the coun-
~ In which the farm was located.
Last year alone the commission test
ed 357.793 gas meters. OF which A.
OSS we're tested on the complaint
OF the consumers. and Of this number
2.443 we're found to be fast. When a
meter is fast beyond the slight devi-
alton allowed by law the company
must pay the expense of the test.
while II II Is slow the consumer must
bear the expense. At the instance
OF the commission the companies an
nually return thousands OF dollars to
consumers who have been overcharg-
ed through the exactions OF fast
meters-Reviewo Reviews.

The sections Of the garbage ordi-
nance, regulating the size of the re-
ceptales to be used for depositing
garbarge on the streets for removal
by the street carts, seems to have
been entirely lost sight of by a ma
jority of people. The ordinance pro-
vides that garbage receptacles shall
be of a size permitting of easy and
convenient handling by the drivers
Of the scavenger cart, that large box
es or barrels that cannot be lifted
by the driver will not be permitted.
This regulation has been generally
disregarded, but an effort will be
made to enforce it henceforth.

NEGRESS BADLY HURT.
Negro Woman Hit In Eye By Un-
known Man.

A negro girl, who dresses in mems
clothes. and is known by the name Of
Harry" was hit in the eye Satur-
day, and seriously hurt, by an
unknown negro man.
The negress, who was hit, is the
same girl who was put on the chain
gang until it was found out that she
was a woman, despite her mems
clothes. She claims to be Of Spanish
Indian descent, and claims Oklahoma
as her home. 1t is said that she is
we'll educated, and can sing beauti-
fully. and she has been singing at
night, according to reports. at the ne
gro dance hall over the old Delgar
fire house.
From what can be gathered, the
woman was selling fish near the rail-
road, and got into an alteration with
a purchaser. when she received the
lick.
1t was not known that she had been
hurt until she came on up town to
the restaurant and dance hall, where
she had been singing. A crowd of
negroes gathered around, and she dis
appeared very soon afterwards and 1t
has not as yet been found where she
went.

Some Random Thoughts.

The meeting of the State Union
last week was the best that ever at
tended. There were no long discus
sions on constitutional or other ques-
tions that. would likely divide our
people, but every effort seemed to be
to discuss measures that would unity
and cement the bonds of friendships.
1t is a pity more of the membership
do not attend these meetings.

If your horse or mule has glanders.

dying with what appears to be a con-
tagious disease, it is your privilege
and duty to notify the veterinarian
at Clemson College who will visit
your place without expense to you.
Chambers is caused by a specific
germ (Bacilum MalleD and affects
horses, asses and mules. The goat
cat and dog sometimes contract the
disease from living in stables with
giander animals. Pigs may contract
the disease by incubation. Cattle
and chickens are immune. The dis
ease attacks the mucous membrane
of the nose and extends to the wind
attic glands of the surface Of the body
are affected, the disease Is known as
farcy. The diease is transmitted to
other animals, including man, by in
oculation through wounds or mucous
membranes. There are other ways
in which animals may be affected
such as common drinking troughs,
feed boxes, managers, hitch racks,
harness and any equipment used
around an infected stable.
