OUTLOOK FOR SUCCESS.

CAMDEN, Tenn, July 21.-Gen.
Tom c. Rye, democratic nominee for
governor, and his wife have spent
several days in Camden with rela-
tives and friends. Many men of all
parties and factions called upon him
while here and pledged to him their
support and influence in the coming
November election. This Is Gen.
Rye's home county and it is predict
ed that he will poll more votes In
November than was ever given to any
candidate for Office in Benton county.
Gen. Rye is in perfect health and
hopes to be in tip-top trim for the
campaign, which is to open about the
first of September. He will in all
probability open his campaign in
Camden. He is optimistic over the
outcome.

methods covering the disposal of gar
bage and refuse are far more econom-
ical and sanitary than the mainte-
nance of these birds. Today for a
community to depend upon this lax
and dangerous method of handling
garbage through the medium vi these
birds is repulsive to respectable citi-
zens, and odious to civilization. The
enormous toll that Is paid to these
disease-scattering scavengers is far
greater than one can estimate, and
there is no argument that can be Of.
fered in their favor. Laws govern
ing their protection have long since
been repealed.
The records of the U. s. depart
ment Of agriculture showing the
sources Of infection on over 300
farms In Iowa. Indiana and Missouri
indicate that on these farms 27% of
hog cholera was due to the carrying
of infection by birds. II these re-
cords are Of the same ratio through.
out the whole United States, the
maintenance Of this source Of infec-
ton is a financial loss to the hog in
dustry Of many millions of dollars
annually.
AS these carrion-eating birds not
only spread disease, but have been
known to attack young pigs and
lambs and destroy them, it is advis-
ed that all Maury county farmers
keep their farms clean from these
scavengers. It is further advised
that they destroy their roosts, and in
every instance possible destroy the
birds. Only in this way by every
body working together can we hope
to eliminate this source of infection.

NEXT WEEK.
WITH The ACTUAL TREATMENT
Makes Urgent Appeal to Delinquent
Farmers to Make Final Effort to
Turn in Their Census Cards-WiII
Be Furnished by Storekeepers.

II certainly appreciate the work
that is being done by the local lead
ers throughout the county in collect
ing the census cards for the govern
ment. While the census is being
gradually completed, and up to the
present over two thousand cards
have been received, it is to be re-
GREETED that this is not enough to
justify the government in commenc-
ing the actual work in using the Sc
rum" This was the statement of DR..
B. w. Murphy this morning in regard
to the progress of the hog census
work in the county.
During the past ten days urgent
efforts have been made to cover those
districts that have been little bit
slow, and now that the farmers are
through with the work in the field for
a while at least, we hope to receive
enough cards to start the work dur
ing the early part of next week.
Farmers are complaining that they
have not received a census card, but
IL they will inquire at their local
store, they will find that not only
the cards are there, but that the
storekeeper is anxious and willing to
assist them in filling the cards out.
A small inquiry will show that the
cards are in reach Of every farmer.
The government has distributed near
ly six thousand of these cards, and a
leader has been given ten to fifteen
to cover every square mile in Maury
county. Get your cards and send
them In"

Three men ARE NOW ON ROAD
Col. Anderson, Maj. Gerow and Capt

THE prospects for a full school at
the Military Academy this fall are
most flattering. We have already
received number of applications for
rooms for boys, even though it is al
most two months before school
opens" said Capt. Charles Whiting
ton Wednesday, in speaking of the
prospects for the school this fall.
Three men are now out on the
road canvassing for the Academy.
Col. Anderson, Maj. Gerow and Capt
Stone are travelling through all of
the Southern states in its interest. In
their reports to rs, they state that
they are going to bring big bunch
|of boys to Columbia in September
They have met with o most cordial
reception wherever they have been.
and have found that the Columbia
Military Academy has made q name
for itself throughout the South. They
are now in Mississippi, Alabama and
Georgia. Later they will cover Lou
isiana, the Carolinas, Arkansas, Tex
as, Oklahoma, and probably some
other states.
I'VE have already received mum.
Der of applications for places. This
year we made 1t requirement that
q check for $25 must accompany
each application. This guarantees
that whenever one is received, it will
be pretty sure proposition that the
boy is really coming. Heretofore,
large numbers would send in applica-
lions early in the season, but later on
some of them would fail to come. The
$25 fee, however, will, l think, do
away with those Of this kind.
ut looks now as IL we will have
boys enough to fill up all of the
rooms. The attendance will be much
larger than last year without doubt.
If actual returns are anywhere near
up to prospects, we will be crowded
to our capacity this fall. We are
looking forward to a big year in ev.
cry way. We could not be better
satisfied"

(By DR.. B. w. Murphy


On investigation of the sources Of
infection Of hog cholera, covering
large areas, it has been found that
from one-fourth to one-third of the
outbreaks of this disease have been
due to the obscene habits Of carbon
eating birds.
The turkey buzzard is the most COM
mon of these disease spreading birds,
and many observers have noted the
wonderful sight and the intense
sense of smell possessed by them in
detecting their food. They have fur
Their observed the remarkably short
time in which these birds have been
able to congregate over a dead car
cass Careful observation, covering
the migration in early spring from
one section of the country to another,
has disclosed the fact that the terri
tory passed over in their course of
flight is usually subjected to out
breaks Of the disease. This has been
true in the dissemination of hog chol-
era,
At times, these birds, eating the
carcasses of hogs, that have died
from cholera, and then travelled long
distances, carry the infection over
many miles to distant farms No

WOMAN WOULD START

Unless IL can be shown that there
is a popular demand for night school
and that, in the event night school
is started, the efficiency Of the teaching

lem schools are not in favor Of granting
permission to use the rooms Of the higa
