Practice Of Visiting Cholera Infested
Neighboring Lots Should BE Aban-
dorcd.

Clemson College. April 2O.-The
farmer Is unconsciously u big factor
In the spread of hog cholera. accord
ing To- Dr. NJ. Ray Powers, state Vet
crinarian and head OF the veterinary
division of Clemson College. There
are several explanations OF this. ono
is that failure to bury dead hogs is
very common practice throughou;
the State. Although this Is against
the law. public sentiment does not
enforce tho proper disposal Of car
cassss and consequently hog cholera
Is wide spread.
The hog cholera virus Is very
easily carried. A group OF farmers
suddenly decide to go and look at
the sick hogs of friend They do
no. The hogs have cholera. The
farmers tramp over the hog lot LOOK
Ing at the sick animals. They are
next likely to 20 to see some fire
breeding hogs OF another neighbor.

hogs being infected by virus carried
ON the shoes and clothing Of tho visi-
tors. This IN also a good way OF car
rying cholera to their hogs at home.
No farmer with hogs suspected of
having cholera has a right. according
to DIR. Powers. to- allow neighbor
To enter his hog lot.
Dogs should he kept in at night.
as they are also good carriers OF the
disease.
In discussing ways I'm which hog
cholera 10 spread. DR.. Powers took
occasion to mention the buzzard. Ho
said he had come across cases where
there was apparently no way for chol-
era to have invaded the herds and
had found out by investigation that
ouzzards had brought the disease
from long distances.
The buzzard. he Gaid, carried other
contagious animal diseases, though IL
is as "a carrier of hog cholera that IL
does It's worst work. DR.. Powers
strongly advocates the repeal OF the
law making the killing OF buzzards
Illegal. lie classes these birds among
the most obnoxious OF the farmers
feathered enemies.
But the farmer himself is a large
factor In spreading hog cholera and
IL Is his duty to endeavor to prevent
the spread OF the disease. not only
by using serum but by quarantining
his herd and burning or burying car
casses OF all hogs. Serum. Dr. Pow
ers pointed out. is by no means the
only weapon In the fight against hog
cholera.

GARRISON ANSWERS BLEASE.
Secretary of War Concludes His Corr
rcspOndcnce With South Carolina
Executive.

Washington, April 21.-Secrctary
Garrison today concluded his corre-
spOndence with Gov. Blease of South
Carolina over the revocation of orders
establishing summer manOeuvre
camp for State militia and regular
troops at the Isle of Palms. Failing
to receive response to his previous
demands upon the governor, Secretary
Garrison yesterday announced THAI
tho manoeuvre camp to be attended
by the militia OF North and South
Carolina. Georgia and Florida would
be held outside Of South Carolina.
Later he received a long letter from
Gov. Bleasc to which he replied to-
day.
After declaring he could not under
stand why Gov. Blease complained
and explaining that the matter had
been taken up with the adjutants gen.
eral Of the various States, as is GUS
tomary, the secretary in his letter
said:
1T seems to me to be unfortunate
that you felt impcllcd to object to this
matter being treated in the customary
way but since you did, 1 had no other
alternative than to adopt the course

Atlanta to BE Scene OF Militia Ma
| nOcuvrcs.
Washington, April 21.-It was
learned here today th;t Secretary
Garrison has promised that if any
manOeuvre camp Of the Ninth division
is held this summer, it will be held
at Atlanta. This statement, it is un-
derstood, was made to Congressman
Howard of Georgia when he called
to see Secretary Garrison about the
matter this morning, and would seem
to indicate that South Carolina hav-
ing lost the cncampmcnt, Atlanta
would get it.
At late hour tonight it was as
| ccrtained that B. +. Mcleod, vice
president of the Charleston Chamber
Of Commerce had held a conference
with Secretary Garrison this evening
with reference to the holding Of the
military encampment in South Carp
lima. Secretary Garrison informed
Mr. Mcleod that it would not be
held in South Carolina because of
the attitude of the governor This
definitely settles the matter.
There is much regret shown here
today among the members of the
South Carolina delegation in con-
gross that, no point in South Caro-
lima will be selected for the encamp-
nent, and there is feeling that
about everything that could be ac-
complished has already been done in
the matter.
Charleston is still bringing pressure
to bear in the hope Of having the war
department reconsider it's decision to
eliminate the Isle of Palms, but it is
the belief here now that the matter is
ended.
1t is probable that the negotiations
may be continued for few days
longer by some who believe Secretary
Garrison might change his decision,
but at the present time it looks as if
all chance for South Carolina has
gone.

PICNIC CROWD OVERTURNED
Runaway Horse Turns Over Wagon
Full of Small Children Ready for
Outing.

wagon full of small children was
overturned this morning in front of
Trinity Methodist Church, when the
horse became frightened and ran
away. Fortunately none of the chill
drcn were seriously injured, although
it was close call for many of them.
The horse belonged to c. w. Smith
and Company and was seemingly as
gentle an animal as one could find
Mr.. Smith stated that he had always
found the horse extremely gentle and
had no idea that it would runaway for
any cause. He deeply dcplored the
accident. especially the fact that the
children's uay of fun was spoiled, and
was deeply thankful that none were
seriously hurt.
Tho horse probably became fright
ened at the waving of the parasols in
the wagon and started to run. There
were about fifteen children in the
wagon and all of them were thrown
out when 1t struck q tree and was
overturned on Liberty Street. Miss
Evelyn Sternbcrger. the daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. J. s. Sternberger, was
probably the worst injured. She had
her wrist slightly spraincd, her lip and
mouth cut. Miss Margaret Beaumont
was another child badly frightened
and slightely bruised by the fall. A
number OF the other children were
also slightly bruised and suffered
minor contusions and scratches, but
nonc whore badly hurt.
