We were informed the other day
by a member of the legislature
that when the present road law
was before the assembly that he
and and another member from this
county discussed the expense to be
allowed the supervisor for travel
ing in performing his duties and
that they agreed that it would not
exceed $40 per month aud that no
fault would be found by the tax
payers with that amount. These
assemblymen, however failed to look
into the future and failed to see
the road supervisor riding around
in what the Free Press was pleased
to call an Expensive automobile"
Had they seen that expensive"
machine they would have baked
on the clause allowing the super
visor travelling expenses.
AS the law is now working, the
road supervisor is a very expensive
luxury to this county. Counting
salary andIexpense bills the office
cost the taxpayers $310.96 last
month and there are IL more such
bills to come.

The possibility that Gov. Glynn will re-

used to compel the Democratic organiza-

DR.. SMITH ACCEPTS CALL
TO ROCKEFELLER INSTITUTE
Harvard Bacteriologist Will Di-

Animal Pathology.

Or. Theobald Smith, one OF the fore
most bacteriologists in the world. has ac-
cepted the appointment of director "
the new department of animal pathology
at the Rockefeller Institute for Medi-
cal Research. according TO an an
nouncement just made. This is the de-
partment for the founding OF which John
d. Rockefeller recently added 100000
more TO the endowment OF the institute.
DR.. Smith is noted not only for his work
in animal pathology but In all branches OF
bacteriology. He was graduated from
Cornell In 1881 and from the Albany
Medical College in 1888. He entered the
bureau of animal industry, where his work
on Texas fever IN cattle was not only OF
Importance to stock raisers but first es-
tablished that an infectious disease could
be transmitted by an insect. Since then
this discovery has been applied to yellow
fever malaria and typhoid fever and other
disease.

strains of living germs, which had been

trace OF life had been destroyed. Vaccine
