JERRY SOUTH AND
The DESPERATE.
House DisbuTsing Clerk Has a
Way Of Doing Things.

Jerry South, disbursing clerk of the
house of representatives, added an
other big scalp to his belt when he
held up Andrew Carnegies witness
fees for a few days. This is habit
of Jerry's and recalls one of his ex-
ploits several years ago.
At that time couple of citizens
named Taylor terrorized parts of Mis-
souri, to the point where large re-
ward was offered for their capture
dead or alive" Mr. South was the
riding bailiff of a sheriffs Office and
had habit of rounding up criminals
that were hard to take.
cne day he was riding along the
read when he spied one Of the Tay-
lor boys. He 'ttook' him. The des-
peredo was peeved about it and shock
ed when Mr.. South told him his
program. South explained that he
was on his way to attend conven-
tion at Little Rock. Ark. when mis-
mind was diverted by the sight of the
aforesaid Taylor He explained that
he had to go to that convention and
there was no way out of it except for
the desperate to go along, as he Jerry
South needed that $1,000 reward.
Mr.. South and his prisoner proceed
ed to Little Rock. They put up at a
hotel and ate and drank together that
night The next day the desperado
occupied a seat beside Jerry in the
convention. and the day following he
was an attendant OH the Democratic

a Sad Event

The late Tody Hamilton, who was
held to know as much about circuses
as any human being could. once told of
the misfortune of an Chic man who
was attempting to pilot a lone tent
show through the middle west.
This owner lost number of valuable
animals by accident and otherwise, so
that it was with considerable SYM
pathy that one of his keepers under
took the task of breaking gently to
the old man'' the news of further dis
aster. The keeper accomplished this
with much tact. as follows:

Westbro0k Was

Nashville. Tenn, Sept. 25.-An
unusual life story is brought to
light here by the death yesterday
afternoon of Rufus M. Westbrook,
aged 102. Stolen from the Lon
don docks when a child, he finally
drifted to Tennessee. Hearing
a couple named Westbrook lived
in Maury county, he Wis.
ted them to see if they could be
related. They were his father
and mother. He served in the
early Indian wars, receiving a
medal from Congress for bravery
in the Mexican conflict. In times
of peace he was a steamboatman
on the Mississippi, Ohio and Cum
berland rivers, finally retiring at
the age Of "a. At one time he
was on the Bostonia.

That Governor Brown was anx-

was not known with certainty un-

Profitable Results from
Serum in Hog Chol-
era

Athens, Ca, Sept. 25. DIR.
William NJ. Burson, professor OF
veterinary science of the Georgia
State College of Agriculture, who
has been investigating the out
breaks of hog cholera in various
places in Georgia, says that many
herds have been entirely wiped
out by the disease which could
have been saved by the use of hog
cholera serum. Wherever the ser
um has been applied, even after a
herd had been infected by the di-
sease, the results have been re-
markably successful. Hundreds
of thousands of dollars have been
lost to the state this year for the
lack Of this simple and inexpensive
treatment, DR.. Burson firmly be-
lieves.
The veterinary department of
The college of Agriculture IS max
ing the serum and furnishing It to
the farmers of Georgia at actual
cost of it's production. A herd of
pigs furnished the blood that
forms the serum. This blood,
which is infected with cholera,
gives, when injected in a healthy
lg, touch of cholera that makesc
him an immune.
To aid the Georgia farmer, the
State College of Agriculture not
only furnishes the serum at cost
but will send along a syringe for
making the byperdermlc injection
With complete instructions about
how to use the syringe, how much
serum to apply, etc.
A dose of incubation Will cost
the farmer about so cents per hun
dred weight of hog by reason of
the college rendering free SER
vice and furnishing materials at
cost.
DR.. Burson says that the best
results have been obtained when
the serum has been used as pre-
ventive rather than as curative.
He therefore advises the farmer
not to wait for the appearance of
the disease before using the serum.

DeLeon SIS, 900 Short

Atlanta, Sept. 26.-Like the ex-
p'osion of a bombshell in local
financial circles came the announce
ment yesterday afternoon that
Noise DeLeon was short $4,000,
when he disappeared on August
9Th.
His family and the general pub
lie, including the creditors of the
state had taken for granted that
the we'll known contractor was alb
solutelY solvent and this was one
of the things that complicated the
m y tie r y of his disappearance.
Nobody could find a motive.
But the report of the receivers
appointed to look after the estate
shows that Mr.. DeLeon owed
$780, in round figures and that
his assets totalled only $45, 900.
Noise DeLeon was one of the
best known of Atlanta's Dig con-
tractors. His disappearance caused
a big sensation, which is being re-
vived by the unexpected announce
ment of the deficit.

Fewer Students
Enter Ministry

Washington, D. c., Sept. rs
Investigations recently made by
the United States Bureau of Ed
ucation show that every year the
big colleges of the country are
turning out fewer men for the
ministry in spite of the fact that
the original purpose of these in
stitutions was apparently to pre-
pare students for the calling.
The decline in the numbers GO
ing into the ministry has been
accompanied by a rise in the pro-
fessions of teaching law and
business. All three have been
more or less consistent gamers at
the expense of the ministry.
When the older colleges were
established boys who expected to
be the business men Of the COM
munity rarely gave much thought
to higher education" That
was for the learned profess
sions," most often, in the early
days, the ministry. It is only Of
recent years that men with bust
ness careers ahead of them have
taken advantage of college oppor-
