In only three states In the union
are the state boards OF health given
specific authority over the use OF such
cultures. These are New Jersey,
Louisiana and New York. The Con-
necticut board is empowered TO reg
ulate the control and use or the
'blood serum of animals" but the
Friedman culture, being obtained
frcm a turtle, escapes this provision.
The government will pay absolutely
no attention 10 the commercial conA

Todays situation, summarized. was:
King Nicholas, still defiant, re-

saying he would hold the stronghold
against all Europe.
The kings son. the Crown Prince
Danilo, with the rest OF the Montene-
grin troops, is marching toward the
heights on the Montenegrin side OF
Cattaro, openly announcing that he
will lombard that Austria Hungarian
city the moment the first Austrian SOL
dier touches foot on Montenegrin soil.

soldiers are proceeding by warship To

ustria-Hungarian troops are pro-
ceeding by train toward the Monte
negrin frontier.
Essad Pasha. Turkish commandant
of Scutari, with the alleged conniv-
ance OF Montenegro and 10000 SOL
diers, is marching to declare himself
king of Albania.
Servia and Greece, forgetting Tur-
key for the time, are preparing TO
make war on Bulgaria and newspaper
dispatches say that fighting already
has taken place.
In the face of these occurrences, the
ambassadors OF the powers said:
There is no cause for pessimism
even yet"
That was the only word given out
by the ambassadors when they ad'
iourned after a three.hour conference
at the foreign office without proposing
further action to settle the Scutari
problem.
The ambassadors adjourned until
Thursday. indicating that they hoped
in the meantime to find peaceful
solution of the situation.
While in session they reiterated
their demand that Montenegro sur
render Scutari that it might become
the capital Of autonomous Albania and
received the formal protest Of the
Cettinje government, characterizing
their demand as unjust, cruel and un-
warranted.

CANDIDATES FOR
POSITION OF MAYOR

SOUTH PITTSBURG, Feb. IA
Although the election for mayor of
South Pittsburg does not come off un-
til May, candidates are bobbing up on
every corner. The present mayor. w.
H. Wilson, has not stated whether be
will or will not be candidate, but
it is being rumored that he will not
again ask for the place. Among those
who are prominently mentioned for the
place is R W. McReynolds, one of the
city's largest grocery merchants. Mr..
McReynolds has twice tested his
strength before the voters of this city,
having been elected a member of the
city school board last August and came
under the wire with substantial lead
for the Office of justice of the peace.
W. Fl. Denham, of tt e firm of Den
ham & Arendale, is also being men
toned aud urged to get in the race,
as is r. G. Aycock, manager and
owner of the Aycock Hosiery mills.
There is a movement on foot by
some of the citizens to call mass
meeting and put out ticket satisfac-
tory to all, and thus eliminate the
bitterness that has heretofore charac-
terized the election of mayor. This
plan is gaining strength every day
and by the time the election day rolls
around there probably will be only one
ticket in the race.

PHENOMENAL DUCK EGG
PRODUCTION

If duck and half lay an egg and
half in dav and half, what will
be the result in 30 days1 A considera-
BILE production of duck eggs, of course,
is the briefest solution. Definite de-
tails concerning duck egg production
comes to this place from Jasper, where
Miss Julia Thach secured 104 eggs
from six Indian Runner ducks that
started up their egg factories January
IS, and a months record shows the
output to be exactly 104 no half eggs
in the bunch. These are all young
ducks, and there is no telling what
would have happened if they had been
old and experienced hands in the bust
ness. These Indian Runner Ducks
seem to have carried a sort of inter
mittantly running business, however,
for their batting average is 171a eggs
1t is supposed they took Saturday af-
ternoous and Sundays off, visiting rel
atives, and, of course, closed down
their factories. One of them seems to
lead in the score as no fractional eggs
were gathered, although, the score
would seem to indicate that third of
an egg was laid by duck and third
in day and third.

TWO CHILDREN
ARE BURNED
NegresS Leaves Wards Alone
For a Few Hours.

In another serious confagration al
the lock and dam Wednesday after.
noon of last week, the cabin of Addie
Gisp, a negress, was almost complete
ly destroyed, aud the lives of her sis
ter's two small children, aged and q
years, respectively, who were in tue
cabin when the fire started, were
snuffed out by the intense heat. From
all accounts of the fire obtainable Ad-
die Gisp, having some business to at
tend to and not wishing to take her
sisters two children, whom she was
caring for, with her, locked them in
the cabin so that no harm would befall
them in her absence. Having finished
her errand, she returned to her home
aud when several yards away discover
ed that the entire roof was ablaze
Fastening her footsteps she soon
reached the Goor, but in her excited
state wa unable to open it, and when
people living nearby reached the scene
she was almost frantic and it took the
combined efforts of several of them
to keen her away from the flames.
The cabin was almost destroyed be-
fore the blaze was extingaished.
When the heat had abated so that an
entrance to the house ,could be effect
ed, the front door was burst open and
on the floor lay the scorched bodies of
the two children. 1t could not be as
certained how the fire stared but is
supposed to have been caused from a
spark from the chimney. ...
