his ticket and to what point he was
going and was iuformed that he Sc
cured his ticket and berth in Wash

You can imagine my surprise
when this negro arose, at some point
between Rock Hill and Columbia,
and deliberately went into the ladies'
dressing room and completed his
toilet.
"On my arrival at Columbia | inn

other members Of the commission,
and after thorough consideration we
have determined that this is proper
case to be reported to your office.

opinion that this is plain violation
of the separate coach law Of this
State. To say the least, it is an in
dignity that we are certain you will
agree should not be permitted If
there is any recourse in law to pre-
vent it.
The Pullman Company should be
made to know that such outrages
will not be submitted to by the peo-
pie OF this State, and we feel sure
that we will have your hearty coop

such gross and contemptible viola

HOG CHOLERA AND IT'S CONTROL
Disease Has Caused Enormous losses
in State During Past Year.

Hog cholera has caused enormous
during the past year and the disease
is still prevalent Although treat
ment is useless it is possible, by OBJ
serving necessary sanitary measures
and by the use Of serum, to success
fully raise hogs even If cholera ex-
lists in community. The disease
could be eradicated from the State,
but this cannot be done under pres
ent conditions, therefore hog owners
must be informed as to the methods
OF control, etc.
This is the first of a series Of short
press bulletins written with the in
tention Of supplying this necessary
information.
How to Recognize Hog Cholera.
Two forms or types of cholera are
recognized
1. The acute type--in which death
occurs in few days.
2. The chronic form-in which
hogs linger for longer time and
finally die or recover.
The following symptoms are most
commonly shown. Unfortunately
however, all hogs affected with ohol-
era do not exhibit all Of these symp-
toms.
Loss Of appetite-This may be par
tial or complete.
Dullness-Hogs remaining apart
from the others.
Weakness-Shown by staggering
gait and difficulty in rising.
abnormal breathing - Breathing
more rapid; indicated by rapid rising
and falling Of the flank.
Cough-Some cases develop a
cough.
Inflamed eyes-Eyes become red,
the lids often glued together by a
sticky discharge.
Constipation and diarrhoea-Hogs
are usually constipated at first, but
later the discharges become very soft
and may be covered with mucous or
blood.
Discoloration Of the skin-Along
the abdomen, inner side Of thighs,
and forearm, the skin is often red
or purple. In chroic cases black
greasy discharge may appear at base,
OF ears and on other portions OF the
body. In these cases large portions
OF the skin may slough off.
The most satisfactory way to dag
nose the disease is by examination
of the carcass. This will be described
in the next article.

In addition to symptoms previous
fy described, the examination OF the
carcass will assist In recognizing
