TO FIGHT HOG CHOLERA
LEVER REPORTS BILL TO Sc
CURE APPROPRIATION.
South Carolina Congressman Points
Out the Need Of Immediate Aid for
the Campaign.

Showing that the annual loss to
South Carolina alone aggregates the
enormous total of S43S,914 from raw
ages of the hog cholera, Representa-
tive Lever, chairman Of the House
committee on agriculture, reported
favorably from the committee We'd
nesday the bill appropciating $780,
900 for the prevention of hog cholera
and 100000 for fight on dourine.
This is an emergency appropriation
withdrawn from the general agricul-
tural appropriation bill to enable the
department to perfect its organization
to meet the rayages of these diseases
which being in the early summer.
The report shows in substance that
the country is losing annually
through the ravages Of these diseases
at a conservative estimate, some
thing like s70,oOO,000, and this loss
is distributed throughout the whole
country. It also shows that last year
an appropriation Of $4,000 was
made by congress to meet this sltua-
ton and although it was absolutely
Inadequate remarkable results were
secured by the department in the four
States in which the experimental
work was done, and it is believed that
with an adequate appropriation and
with a strong cooperative organiza-
ton among federal, State and local
authorities the disease may be re-
duced, controlled and substantially
eradicated.
The report forcefully sets forth
the fact that pork, hog meat and
hog products compose the basis Of the
everyday meal of the average citizen,
and that as hogs and hog products
are to a large extent the subject OF
interstate traffic it is incumbent upon
the federal government to take urgent
steps toward the control Of the di-
sease until the department can build
up a permanent cooperative organl-
zation with the several States look
ing toward the final eradication Of
the disease.
The report also shows the presence
Of dourine among horses in the North
western States and that about 10 per
cent. of the range horses are afflicted
with this disease and points out the
danger of a general spread of it
throughout the country unless vigor-
Gus efforts are made to stamp 1t out.
The report recommends an appropria-
ton OF 100000 for this purpose.

PUT TOWN IN DARKNESS.
Unknown HIiscreants Cause Trouble
in Honea Path.

Honea Path was in total darkness
Sunday night due to damage done to
the electric light plant by some mis-
creants unknown as yet to the au-
thorities. When the engineer went in
the afternoon to start the machinery
for the night he found that some one
had gotten access to the machinery
room by window and had cut the
belts into short pieces, and damaged
the machinery in other ways amount
ing to perhaps 500. While the
guilty parties are not known the COM
missioners have a clue which they
believe will lead to their apprehen-
sion and punishment. 1t !s supposed
that the cowardly deed grew out OF
malice toward the superintendent
and engineer Of the plant.

TRY TO KILL LIEUTENANT
AMERICAN NAVAL OFFICER Is
SHOT AT VERA CRUZ.
As a Result Consulate of American
Representative Lind is Guarded by
Eight Stalwait Blue-Jackcts.

An attempt was made Wednesday
night to assassinate Lieut.. Arthur b.
Cook, flag lieutenant to Rear Admi-
raj Mayo, of the United States battle
ship Connecticut. Lieut.. Cook was
struck by bullet and slightly wound
ed. His assailant was not seen. The
lieutenant, accompanied ny his wife
and Miss Ethel Mckenzie, Ct Phila-
delphia, had been dining with Admi-
raj Mayo aboard the flagship.
Returning to the landing place, the
party took an open carriage to drive
to the steamer Mrrro Castle, on which
Mrs. Cook and Miss Mckenzie were
to sail. The two women occupied the
rear seat. Lieut.. Cook, conspicuous
in a full dress white uniform, sat fac
ing them. AS the party was proceed
ing down Avenida de Ia Independent
cia sharp, but not loud, detonation
was heard, and Lieut.. Cook felt a
shock on the left hip. which at the
time he did not associate with what
appeared to be a shot.
On alighting at the wharf Lieut.
Cook found a small object on the car
riage seat, which proved to be bull
let Of the type used in pocket auto
matte pistols. Investigation showed
the bullet had inflicted a truise on
his hip. Both Mrs. Cook and Miss Nc
Kensie were greatly agitated by the
discovery of the bullet. Having seen
them to their state room, Lieut.. Cock
returned aboard the flagship and re-
ported the attack to the Admiral, who
Thursday morning communicated
with John Lind and the American
consul, W. W. Canada. They notified
Gen. Mas, military commandant at
Vera Cruz without, however, making
any formal demand.
Mr.. Lind later informed Gen. Mas
that the arrest of persons for assault
ing American officers Of civilians is a
matter of small Importance, compared
with the responsibility of the General
in connection with such incidents. 1t
is not believed the attack was a de-
liberate plot, but the sudden act OF
some desperate.
Recently quiet arrangements were
made to secure the personal safety OF
Mr.. Lind. Until few days ago he
took long walks in the outlying coun-
try. At the consulate no: guard was
maintained, but signal boys were
brought from the fleet to act as mes
sengers. In consequence Of secret IN
formation reaching the consulate the
signal boys. were replaced by eight
stalwart picked bluejackets, four OF
whom are on duty day and night.
Mr.. Lind, whenever he leaves the
consulate now, is followed by a big
blue-jacket, who, although unarmed,
IS within immediate striking distance.
Mr.. Lind was opposed to these pre-
cautionary measures, but finally was
persuaded that conditions demanded
them. The United States battleships
Connecticut, Ohio and Minnesota
we're to have sailed for Tampico, but
the order was rescinded and they will
await the return of Admiral Fletcher.

Mr.. Aull: Not a thing. But l
have had talks with superintendent
of institutions where they expressed
the same opinion. I do not know
that 1 stated anything about the effi-
cheney or competency Of these physi-
clans, but say as general PROPOSE
tion that any physician who is on
duty "a hours a day and subject to
call IS worth as much as three or
four coming in once day.
O. You do not know anything
about the qualifications Of any Of the
nhvsicians? 4. No, sir; do not pre-
tend to.
