STATE BOARD TAKES ACTION

WesfernNewspaper Union News Service
Baton Rouge.-Strict supervision of
all chTbon serum sold for live stock
Will be maintained henceforth by DR.
Bowling, president of the State, Board
of Heath. The health official said he
has every reason to believe that the
prophyactic is not as represented, and
upon DR.. Seeman's return to New Or.
leans the manufacture of the serum
will be taken up by the health officials.
DR.. Seemann has gone to Rochelle, La,
to investigate the Charlton situation
there.
DR.. Bowling sent telegram to Gov
ernor Hall stating that he paid a visit
to the Charity Hospital and saw Luke
Simoneaux, a resident of Assumption
parish now confined in the institu.
ton suffering from Charlton. Simon
eaux's admission to the Charity Hospi-
tai marks the first case Of Charlton re.
ceived there in fourteen years. He is
&c years Of age and will die.
In order that the force of his conclu.
sions may be driven home, Dr. Bowling
requested the" governor to have the
members OF the General Assembly CO,
operate in all sections Of the state by
having all cases of Charlton promptly
reported to the Live Stock Sanitary
Board and the State Board of Health
The case Of Simoneaux is typical o:
what can happen when the proper pre-
cautions are not taken.
Simoneaux is farmer and also en-
gagged in the cattle raising industry in
Assumption parish. Some time ago he
found one of his cows dead, and it was
discovered some time after that the
animal had been a victim of Charlton
Instead of burning the carcass of the
dead cow Simoneaux skinned the hide
and this led to his own contraction o.
the disease, germs entering through
an abrasion Of his skin.
The disease is not contagious, and il
infectious only through blood contact
1t is invariably fatal. The medica
term for the disease is anthrax.

Modern Greek.

A stranger came into our office and
graciously offered US some fruit when
he said he purchased downstairs IN
the Greek grocery store. We asked
him what Greek grocery, and he SAID
the one right under us, in Holpos
place. We have been here some time
and knew nobody Of that name, ana
to satisfy our curiosity we went down
stairs to have q look.
Sure enough, there was what DID
look like "Holpos" on the end OF the
awning, at least there were the let
tiers H @ l. P O S" standing out in
bold relief We have learned since
that it is an abbreviation used by
the store which when translated
means Highest quality, lowest prices
our standard" To the average read
er it's all Greek and would easily
pass for a Hellenic name.-Quincy

Liaht & Ice Plant Improved.

The Electric Light & Ice Co have
just completed a new brick engine
house and installed $50 horse pow
er Corless engine of the latest type.
1t is worth a visit to tine plant to see
this engine run. The addition of
this engine and other recent i'm.
provements will greatly increase the
power and efficiency of the plant.
which will in time, perhaps, furnish
power for many smaller enterprises
that are much needed in Kingstree.
The company has also just COM
pleted the drilling of an artesian
we'll which has a capacity of Is gal
Ions per minute. All of this water
is used in the manufacture of ice,
insuring the purest product that
can be made. Between 5000 and
10, 900 gallons of water is required
every day to run the plant. The
water is converted into steam, con-
densed and filtered through two
charcoal filters before freezing, and
the quality of ice now being turned
out by the local plant will compare
favorably with that of any of the
larger and older manufacturing
concerns.

Teachers Elected.

At meeting of the board OF
trustees of the Kingstree High and
Graded school a few days ago teach.
ers who taught during the session
just closed were reelected for the
session of 1914-15 as follows:
Mr. ] w Swittenberg, superintend-
ent; Miss Laura Cromer, principal;
Miss Estelle Campbell, music; Misses
Agness Erckmann, Alma Davis, Quin-
tette Dantzler, Cornelia Plowden,
Lizzie Heape, Ada Brockington and
Belle Harper, the last named as a
supply teacher. 1t will be a source
of much regret to the patrons of
the school and to their large circle of
friends to learn that Miss Campbell
and Miss Davis will not return here
next session. Miss Campbell has
served the school as music teacher
for the past seven or eight years
and has won the highest esteem of
the people of the community, whose
best wishes will follow her wherever
she goes.
Miss Davis, who has just COM
pleted her fourth year as teacher
here, has proved herself to be one
of the best the school has ever had.
Her ability as an all-round teacher
is unquestioned, and the board of
trustees, as we'll as the patrons and
friends of the school, deeply regret
that she has seen fit to tender her
resignation. The. best wishes of a
host of friends will be with her in
whatever new field she may enter.
