Pure Milk and Cream Bill

SACRA M ENTO, March 24.-Ihe com =
mittee on live stock and dairies rec
commended to the assembly that the
house pass the Gulberson dairy bills,
Nos. 535. $50. 537 and 53s, relating to
pure milk and cream supplies for cities
and towns, and the management and
control of the dairies and products by
the state and local health boards.
Under the bills, control over tuber
culous cattle, in dairy farms, is vested
in the state bureau, with the right to
destroy such cattle. Another bill pre-
vents the importation of tubercular
stock, and still another of the bills
compels compliance with the sanitary
laws in the manufacture of cheese and
other milk products.
The purpose is to clean out diseased
cattle by gradual extinction, to insure
pure milk and cream for the consumer
to prevent the shipment into the state
| of diseased dairy or beef stock, horses
| mules or other farm stock. and giving
ample power to the authorities to en-
force the laws.

DISTURBANCE AT HOME

During the last two days there has
been considerable disturbance to
weather conditions in the valley, with
wind which is cold and searching. To-
day heavy clouds have hung over the
valley, indicating the possibility of ram
near at hand, though none has fallen
in the valley, and the sun has been
shining good part of the time. The
unsettled condition is such that rain
would not come with surprise. SO far
as is known, there has been no rain

His career was compressed into a
scanty % months, from that day in
July, 1861, when Lee pointed to him
standing like a stone WALL at Bull
Run, to the early May day in 1868
when he marched his corps around the
front of Hooker's army, smashed in its
right flank and gave the Confederacy
its most brilliant victory, only to fail
under the fire of his own men
A terrible partnership was that be-
tween the Cavalier and the Puritan;
between Lee, who embodied the chiv-
airy of Virginia, and Jackson, who
was a direct spiritual descendant of
the men that fought with Cromwell at
Naseby. In all crisis the two men
seemed to fight with a single brain
and single purpose destitute alike
of the Jealousy and intrigue that all
but wrecked the Army of the Potomac.
Jackson presents a strange, appeal
ing figure on the pages of history He
was as gentle and gracious as Lee, as
silent and taciturn as Grant, as daring
and audacious as Stuart or Sheridan,
as delentless as Sherman, and with ii
all there was an intensity of religious
feryor that belonged to the seventeenth
century rather than the nineteenth.
The war to him was holy war. He
went to battle with a prayer on his
lips, and he went from battle to give
thanks to God who had crowned his
army with victory.
Appealing from his native sod
In forma pauperis to God,
Lay bare thine arm-stretch forth
thy rod,
Amen!" That's Stonewall's way.
Even the bullets that struck him
down he regarded as providentally di-
rected by a definite Divine purpose.
There is no more mendacious phrase
than that of "a born soldier" but
here was man who was beyond ques-
ton a born soldier-a soldier who
hated war who was dazzled neither
by ambition nor glory, who fought for
principle and principle alone and
whose military genius was elemental
Peace to his ashes. A united nation
can be proud that he was numbered
her sons.

preparing for this arch enemy. The
boil weevil is almost here now. 1t is
far better for the farmer to raise more
corn and other diversified crops nov.
than to wait and be forced to do so at
ter the boil weevil comes. This is a
lesson that Sumter farmers need TO
learn and to learn without further de-
lay. They still hav time in which to
vary their methods of farming as the
exigencies of the boil weeyil pest de-
mand. Plenty OF corn and plenty Of
every crop that furnishes provisions
is what they should strive for. 1t is
the old doctrine of hog and hominy,"
and it is as sound and as wholesome
even more so-today than ever.

ST0NEWALL JACKSON
New York WORLDLY

Fifty years ago tonight there fell
MORALLY wounded at charlottesville
one of the great captains of the Eng
disappearing races.
Lee, who called Stonewall Jackson
his strong arm, once said that he
would have won Gettysburg If Jack
son had been there. Be that as it may,
the almost uninterrupted victories OF
the Army of Northern Virginia ended
when Jackson passed away. Chancel
louisville marked the food tide of the
Confederate arms. Two months late
came Gettysburg. and from thence OF
to Appamatox Lees forces, despite all
their marvellous courage and tenacity,
were never again invincible.
Jackson's place in military history
is unique. Most great regulations
were made by long years Of service.

THREE BILLIONS FOR ROADS
washington Post.)

Expenditures of 100000, 900 by
the government and the several states
for highway improvement is. at first
thought, a startling proposition. even
though the expenditures be distributed
over a period Of 90 years; but when
we consider the magnitude of the in
terests affected, it will be seen to be \
wise investment" said former Senator
jonathan Bourne, jr., at the Willard
in discussing plan for road i'm
proVement which he has submitted TO
the joint committee on Federal aid in
the construction of post roads.
There are in the United States
some S90,000,O00 acres of farms, worth
about $39,000,00O. There are some
22,OO0,000 working horses and mules
on these farms, costing annually for
feed and keep about $1,760,000.O0g.
With good roads will come substitution
of traction for horse power, with
probable saving of billion a year.
My plan contemplates the expendi-
ture of $1,000,000,0O0 for road con-
struction, and 100000 900 a year, for
so years, for maintenance by the
government and the states, making a
total of $3,O00,O0O,OOO in so years if
the expenditure for construction IN
creases the value of the farms only
per cent, the owners would get back
Immediately in property values more
than the amount of the investment II
the amount expended annually fof
road maintenance reduced the cost of
hauling 80 per cent, the saving would
cover the cost of maintenance. In
my opinion the adoption of my plan
would double the total value of farms
and reduce the cost of road hauling q
per cent.
AS a plain business proposition,
expenditures on road construction
and maintenance offer larger returns
on the investment than anything else
of which | am aware. In my opinion
roads are of far greater economic and
social importance than pending tariff
and currency legislation combined

PRISON POETRY AND PROSE
New York Sum-

NNSW 10TH SUM-
Back of the gray walls and the bar
red windows of prisons and reforma-
tories the thoughts of prisoners often
find expression in print. There are
weekly newspapers printed, edited,
written by prison inmates and they
contain flashes of remorse, of sorrow,
of grim wit, even of brightness and
JOY. They show that the man behind
the bars is a most human creature.
Prison is a sad place. There's plenty
of time for reflection and remorse:
sometimes think I'd rather be for
got
Than be remembered by the things
I've done;
I've often wished my name were but
a blot
0 mortal scrolls of battles lost Or
Won
Or rather still, I'd like to be child
AS innocent as in those other days
When from stern duty's path l was
beguiled
Ere 1 had reached the parting of
the ways,
But still | see the folly of my fears,
For something seems to say: 'Tis
not too late
For to whatever port the pilot steers,
He may return. 1t is not left to
Fate
Are You surprised that verse grows
in prison? Remember the days and
weeks of cell life, the long nights, the
age long Sundays, the memories OF
Iother days.
/ Prison papers carry the deep under
! tone of remorse, but not all prison
verse is gloomy. Some is cheerful
reminiscent of fairer days:

aninnies sighin'-
Whoo-whoo, how de wind do blew!
But all the philosophy is not confined
TO poetry. Prose has its share of con

oner has plenty of time to ponder on
the frailties of human beings, includ-

NEW SERUM INSPIRES HOPE

COVery
(New York SUM-

There have been so many attempts
to find specific fer the scourge of
consumption, and so many cures have
been prematurely announced that it is
no wonder that the public has grown
skeptical, while responsible people
have become chary OF arousing the
hope of countless white plague suffers

London dispatch. 1t is only, there
fore, because the information comes
from source which commands re-
speCt and belief that the Sun now, be-
fore the results of the investigation
are given officially to the whole world,
announces the discovery of a serum
which seems destined to revolution
ize the whole science of serum the
rapy.
again a German. He is a young and
accomplished bacteriologist named
Frederick Mehnarto, who worked with
DR.. Kotch in Africa on the sleeping
sickness. After that he pursued his
researches alone in Africa and other
optical countries.
On reaching London in October DR..
Mehnarto quietly advanced the as
sertion that he had discovered serum
which was harmless in application
and of such character that, assum-
ing that the patient had any fair
amount of vitality left, it would effec-
the presence Of microorganism in
the blood. The general feeling of the
leading London physicians to whom
he spoke was, not unnatu~a ally per-
haps, that it was the assertion either
of charlatan or of man who was
sadly deceivig himself Dr. Mehnarto,
however, found some distinguished
medical men who were willing to give
a hearing to his theory of serum the
rayp.
1t twas impossible, OF course, to find
in London number Of suffers from
the sleeping sickness, so the doctors
decided to test the serum on tuber-
.culosis patients in advanced stages of
the disease, and afterward on other
serious disease which were due to the
presence of injurious bacteria in the
blood
All these tests are for tuberculosis,
but since their commencement the
serum is being tried in cases of NAL
aria, leprosy, mucus colitis, pernicious
anaemia syphilis, and other disorders
of the blood
The report of such investigators
based on months of experiments, must
be beyond cavil, and the correspond.
ent of the Sun is assured that al
present it would be undertaking the
case by merely stating that Dr. Meh.
lnartcs treatment has been successful
IS the results have been phenomenal
Patients whose death had been eN-
reoted at any moment are now on the
high road to recovery, and others have
been cured entirely Other patient
whose tuberculosis was of long stand
ing and extreme virulence have re,
covered so that neither the sputun
nor the blood on a meteorological eX-
animation shows there is any sign Of
the presence of the dreaded tubercl,
Ebacillus.
The psychologists engaged in the
present experiment have christene-
the serum "contratoXin," to mark tbs
!. difference of its chief characteristics
from those of any other serum.
