Attempts Made to Smuggle Hogs Dy-

Durham Onto Durham Market.
stencil Of the Dead Carcasses In
yades High Heavens,

An epidemic of hog cholera has in
vaded the county and suburbs OF
Durham, and IL has been necessary
for the health authorities to post
men on the outskirts Of the city dur
ing the past few days to keep the
infected hogs of the Durham market.
In East Durham as many as rs
hogs have died from the disease dur
ing the past few weeks. and there
has been an equally large death list
in West Durham and in some OF the
country districts. A large number
of attempts have been made by the
owners OF the hogs to smuggle them
onto the Durham market after they
have died with the disease. A close
watch has been kept by the city
health authorities. and in addition 10
the regular inspection at the market,
inspectors have been posted on the
outskirts TO prevent the hogs from
being struggled into town and the
diseased meat from finding It's way
into the larders OF the unsuspecting
consumers.
In East Durham. collection OF
hogs has accumulated near the ball
park and the residents in that sec
tion claim that the stencil Is invad-
ing high heaven. Complaints have
been made TO the county health au-
thorities. but nothing has been done
TO alleviate the conditions. The au-
thorities claim that nothing can be
done unless those who are dumping
the carcasses can be caught in the
act. There is a state law that makes
such action misdemeanor.
The city health authorities can do
nothing toward remedying the con-
ditions except TO do their best toward
keeping the diseased meat from find
ing It's way 70 the breakfast tables
OF the residents Of the city. No hogs
are allowed In the city limits. and the
Jurisdiction OF the city authorities do
not extend beyond the limits.
No cause for the epidemic has been
found. II started several weeks ago
and has swept the suburbs where a
large number OF the porkers were be
ing fattened in contemplation OF the
Ill butcherir" The pens have been
emptied and the large amount Of feed
-. ne been purchased by the
owners at a sacrifice is a total loss
" Is in q desperate attempt to secure
some remuneration for the loss that
attempts have been made TO smuggle
the meat into the city.

WOMEN CLAIM
THEY WILL WIN
Confident California Suffrage
Amendment VIII Carry

San Francisco, Calf. Oct. s.--0n
the eve of tomorrows general cleo
tion. following the close of one of
the most memorable campaigns in
the history Of this state. the women
Iof California are confident of the
victory of their cause at the polls
tomorrow. For many months they
have kept up the agitation in favor
OF women's suffrage, and with re-
markable energy and ability they
have conducted their statewide cam
|paign against big odds and despite
the powerful influence which the OPP
position brought to bear upon the
campaign. Argumentatiye literature
in favor of woman's suffrage was
scattered broadcast over the whole
state OF California; suffrage orators
travelled from one end OF the state
TO the other. addressing meetings
in the interest OF the women's canse:
the churches, women's societies and
even the school children were en-
listed in behalf OF the momentous
suffrage question and nothing was
neglected that seemed to offer even
the remotest promise OF furthering
the cause of suffrage.
Now, the exciting work OF the
campaign is ended and both sides
10 the great suffrage question are
resting on their guns. eagerly await
ing the decisive battle at the polls
tomorrow, which will settle. once
and for all. wheth-e the women of
California shall be the political
equals OF the men or not. The adj
yoeates OF woman's suffrage. al
though admitting that they shall
have to contend against a strong OPP
position. express themselves conf
dent Of victory. They believe that
the strenuous work OF their cam
psign was by no means wasted but
that il caused the conversation of
thousands OF voters heretofore pre-
JUDGED against woman's suffrage.
The woman's suffrage amendment
10 the Constitution. il is true, is by
far the most important OF the twenty
or more constitutional amendments
70 be voted on AZ tomorrow's election
but there are several among them
Which claim considerable attention
on the part OF the voters. Although
the other amendments have received
less consideration during the past
campaign. some OF them are really
far more important than the woman
suffrage amendment. Among them
Is an amendment which provides
for the initiative and the referendum
In state legislation. Other amend
ments provide for the recall OF the
elective officers OF the state: for
county charters and county home
rule: for eliminating technical err
irors as a ground for reversal In
criminal cases: for direct legisla-
