the contrary 1t was success Bryan did not go
t" California with the hope of preventing any
legislation whatsoever, although the state depart
nent would have been overjoyed had he been
able to bring about that consummation; he went
for the purpose of preventing the passage OF a
measure vioiative of the treaty made by this
nation with Japan, and he seems to have accom-
piished that purpose. If doing what one sets out
to do Is failure merely because all that might
have been was not accomplished. Bryan's mission
was failure. If performing all within reason
and all really attempted and all hoped for con-
stitutes success Mr.. Bryan handled his first
great task In manner which deserves the
highest praise.

One of the funniest and finest adventures that
has befallen our navy is that of the torpedo boat
Vesuvius. She was hit by her own torpedo Then
she made shore and all her crew were saved
IL was queer that her own gun should have
sent back boomerang to pierce her vitals 1t
was fine that her crew, with order and dis
cipline and careful regard for the sense of the
situation got her safely on sand bank with her
nose high and so saved every soul and the boat
Also. The best thing to do with the vesuvius
now is to patch the hole in her stern, load her
or couple of fiat cars with the officers and men
IN a Pullman ahead and speed her out to the
Pacific There she will be ornamental and spec
tacular surely and useful possibly.

Anti-HOg Cholera Serum; A Proven
tatiVe for Hog Cholera.

The North Carolina Department Of
Agriculture has for the past three
years prepared and distributed to the
farmers of this state anti-hog cholera
serum at cost of production.
This serum is used as a preventative
for hog cholera, and if injected before
the hogs show any signs of cholera,
it will prevent them from developing
a case of cholera, even if they are ex-
posed. 1t is not claimed for this Sc
rum that it will cure a case of cholera,
as it is a preventative and not a cura-
tive measure.
We begun the preparation Of this
serum in a very limited way and have
found that it has met with uniformly
good results. The demand for it has
continued to increase until it was i'm
possible to meet the demands at the
plant where we first begun the work.
T. order to be in position to meet all
demands made by the farmers of this
State for the serum, we have built and
equipped a large new serum plant
which will be used exclusively for pre-
pairing anti-hog cholera serum.
For full information and directions
for using this serum, apply to the
North Carolina Department of Agri-
culture, Raleigh, N. G.

A Lad Of Interest on Part Of the
.e Patrons. 4

The committee which has had the
lecture course under its direction
this year called a meeting last night
for the discussion Of course for
next year and OF the thirty business
men who were requested to remain
after the evening entertainment on
ly. six showed up. The committee
interpreted the action as a lack OF
interest and practically decided last
night that this years course would
end--the lecture course business In
Abilene as far as 1t is concerned.
The committee had $50 left over
from the course last year, received
a refund OF 800 on the first num-
her OF the course this year because
liz did not give satisfaction, receiv-
ed refund of $40 because another
number came one day ahead OF the
scheduled date and yet the course
this year is $25 behind paying out.
The number last night drew $4z
at the door or the course this year
would have gone deeply in the hole.
Beside worrying about making the
ends meet the committee is held
responsible for any dissatisfaction
with the course and It has decided
THAT 1t doesn't want any more OF
lthis responsibility unless the gem
eral public cares to share the re-
Isponsibility with It,
| The Raweis will conclude the lee
tire course in March. After the
last number there will be a meeting
ifor a general reckoning and at that
thine discussion of continuing the
course may be taken up again. 1t
is certain, however, that unless there
lis much more interest than was dis
/ Iplayed last night the lecture course
1 business is finished in Abilene.
The course has been generally
SIstrong this year. Only one number
Hailed to give the best of satisfac
ton. Not the least pleasing mum
. her of the course was the entertain
ment last night of the Dunbar Sing
ling Orchestra. The six women wn'
make up this organization are ev

s range Of their program could no
j help but please. The general com
0 ment of the patrons of the cours
y has been exceedingly complimentary
