The executive committee met tnls
morning and declared the democratic
nominees.
The election yesterday was the quiet
est in many years. Two years ago
the streets were crowded with people
on the day of the election. People
waited around the court house until
the count was completed to get the
returns and when they were given out
they kept the city awake until late at
night celebrating with horns and cow
bells.
The commissioners met this morn
ing at the city hall but were unable
to do much business on account of the
large number of citizens who came in
to congratulate them. They asked
The News to express their apprecia-
ton to the people for their confidence
in lem evidenced by their support at
the polls. They say that they feel
better able to accomplish something
for the good of the city now than ever
before because of the experience they
have had in the management OF the
city's affairs and the prospect of two
years before them in which to work.
They declare they intend making the
commission form of government in
Hattiesburg a model for the whole
country.

Luckily. Smith was an old friend

Brabson placed the note upon the

Watch For Fakes

Reports are now beginning to
come into the United States De-
partment of Agriculture from
several of the States quarantine
ed for the foot-and-mouth dis
ease that persons who have no
connection whatsoever with the
department are attempting to
pass themselves off as Federal
inspectors. There are several
possible motives that might ac-
count for the existence of these
imposters. In the outbreak of
1908 there were instances of men
who obtained money from cred
ulous victims who believed that
in this way they would escape
the inconvenience of quarantine
and disinfectlon. This is, of
course, a very simple form of ex-
tortion. Another motive may be
the sale of some quack remedy
for the disease.
|, Stock owners can protect them
selves very easily against this
fraud. for there is no SDecific
remedy tor the foot-and-mouth
disease. Since the germ has
never been isolated, it has never
been possible as vet to find any
serum that would act either as a
cure or preventive, and the pub
lie may be quite certain thatany-
one who says that he is an en-
ployee of the Department of Ag-
riculture, and at the same time
attempts to sell OF even recon-
mend anything of the sort. is
simply an imposter. Forthis
treason stock owners are warned
not to allow strangers TO visit
their stock or attempt any dem
onstrations of so-called cures by
injections or otherwise.
| There is, moreover, very great
danger that such people might
disseminate the disease. 1t IS a
we'll known fact that the germs
can be carried on clothing. In
infected territory. therefore, 1t
is quite possible that man who
has come in contact with strick-
en- animals may bring the disease
to perfectly health herd. This
also accounts for much of the
spread of hog cholera.
The department therefore
recommends all farmers to keep
their animals from contact with
all save those who have definite
business with them.
