and that real sugar cane or ribbon
cane could not be grown north OF the
stream. Six fine stalks that were
grown as an experiment prove that
this is not true. The stalks are seven
feet tall and long pointed. They are
from the first crop and II is claimed
that there is no trouble in obtaining
crop of six foot stalks in this county

six foot stalks will produce 5000 in

HOG CHOLERA SYMPTOMS

Since the discovery of the serum
treatment for hog cholera, there has
been renewed interest in this fatal
hog disease. Formerly the loss from
cholera was accepted without ques-
tion, but now the farmer is especially
anxious to know how he may distin-
guish cholera from other swine dis
eases in order to make use OF the
serum in those outbreaks that prove
10 be cholera.
Unfortunately, hog cholera does not
always pass through tine same series
OF changes. The disease may be either
acute or chronic, and the symptoms
vary great deal in these two types
of disease. In cholera we generally
find that the young .igs and shoats
are the first to take the disease. Young
hogs are more susceptible than older
hogs. Generally the inst indication
of trouble is when the pigs refuse
feed. They do not leaYe their beds
readily, and will eat but little. An
occasional cough is noticed in cholera
while in swine plague the cough is
much more pronounced. Their eyes
are soon noticed to be gummed up
with matter, and altogether the pigs
have droopy appearance.
AS the disease progresses, weakness
becomes noticeable. The hind legs be-
come weak and the pig reels as 1t
walks. AS the disease progresses a
severe diarrhoea is in many cases
seen. There is one folm of cholera
that kills quickly. In these cases hogs
are often found dead that were not
known to be sick the dav before. Sucn

Nav Moi Come to Hearing

| The impeachment charges against Judge
Iiasty may not come to a final hearing.
| With the decisive victory scored by attor-
neys for the defendant Monday, the sit
uation as regards Judge Hasty has great
| ly clarified, since the charges against him
are based principally upon acts commit
ted during a previous term as probate
Judge. At the session tomorrow the court
| will receive briefs from attorneys for the
| two sides, and will inquire into the extent
| to which mis- former conduct may have
had a bearing upon acts committed dur
| ing his present term. The effects of his
| previous conduct will be taken under
| consideration.
Attorneys for Judge Hasty are confi-
dent that they will be able to clear their
client of the charges made against him.
and feel certain that they will win in
their final efforts
Judge Hasty has not yet answered the
| charges made by the attorney general,
having been given until October IS before
making his answer to the supreme court.
| Should the case be heard on its final
merits, it Is probable that the court will
| set date within the near future for the
| formal hearing. There were no witnesses
at today's hearing, and none will be sum-
! moned unless the case is formally heard
before the court.
Charges Based on Report
The charges against Judge Hasty are
ba sed on a report submitted to Governor
O'Neal by Examiner of Public Accounts
j. T. German, who declared that he had
found the affairs in Judge Hastys office
in bad shape The examiner stated that
the recors of the office were poorly kept,
and announced that as result of the
confusion of the books he was unable to
make an accurate examination.
Following the receipts of the report.
Governor O'Neal instructed the attorney
general to investigate the case with a
view to instituting impeachment proceed
ings against Judge Hasty. The papers in
the case were filed several weeks ago.
