Dread Disease Almost Eradi.
Gated from this State, Where
It Once Prevailed.
law STRICTLY ENFORCED
Control and Eradication of Disease
Made Possible by Statute Protect
ing State Against lmportations of
Uninspected Animals - Only One
Case of Chambers in South Carolina
in Eighteen Months.

Glanders, one Of the most destruct-
i've diseases of horses and mules and
one that may be contracted by man,
has been almost eradicated from
South Carolina. DR.. Robert o. Feeley,
State Veterinarian at Clemson College,
has announced that in the last eigh-
teen months only one case of glanders
has been found in the state. For
three years, in fact, cases of glanders
have been scarce and it is believed
that with a continuation Of precau-
tlonary methods this state need not
fear outbreaks of this malevolent dis
sease. DR.. Feeley attributes the con-
troll Of glanders in South Carolina to
the enforcement Of the law prohibiting
the importation of animals without
certain certificates.
Several years ago, when the law
that is now Section 522 of the Crimi-
nal Code was passed, glanders was
quite prevalent in certain sections Of
the state. Section 522 made it unlaw-
full "tO bring into the state any horses,
mules, asses, cattle, sheep or swine
for work, feeding, breeding or dairy
purposes, unless such animals have
been examined and found free from"
CHAMBERS, tuberculosis, scabies, and
a number Of other diseases. This free
dom from disease must be established
by certificate Of health from an Off
cial veterinarian in the place of ship
ment' There are other provisions in
the law, all Of them making it posi-
BILE, for the veterinary division of
Clemson College to control outbreaks
Of contagious diseases in this state.
This law was put into force by the
veterinarians of the college as soon
as 1t was passed and it was especially
effective in checking glanders. Where
ever a case of this disease was found
the animal was destroyed and the
premises disinfected carefully. Little
by little the disease has retreated be-
fore the vigilant fight that has been
made. The law has, of course, meant
much in the control of other con-
tagious diseases also, but it is in CLAN
ders that the effects have been most
noticeable. ~
practically all states now have
such law about importing animals -
said the State Veterinarian. IF there
were no such law in South Carolina,
our state would be dumping ground
for diseased stock from all parts of
the country. This law is a great pro-
lection to our farmers"

THE NEWS OF WISACKY.
Mr. Ii. w. Scott Pays Tribute to Mems
ory of N. a. Mcleod, Who Was
Buried at Rembert Church.

Wisacky. Dec. O1.-On Monday OF
last week We laid to rest in old REM
bert church cemetery the remains Of
our beloved friend and brother COM
rade, N. S. Mcleod. The funeral SER
vices were conducted by his beloved
pastor, Rev. A. T. Attaway, assisted
by Rev. Morrison of the Presbyterian
church. His pastor delivered a most
touching and generous tribute to his
sacred memory. All of which was
we'll merited. and met the hearty ap-
proval Of all who heard him. He was
a gentleman Of the old school. We
loved him because he was lovable. We
trusted him because he was worthy OF
our confidence. The few old veterans
that acted as his honorary pallbearers,
testify to the fact that We have all
about passed away. May he rest in
peace.
The farmers will have longer sea-
son of rest than we have enjoyed in
years, as all of our cropssare har-
vested, small grain sown, and little else
to do, but enjoy the good things God
has given us so abundantly, If we
could only be grateful, and contented.
One of our farmers has baled be-
tween II and Is hundred bales of
beautiful hay. Another told me he
had housed 500 bushels of sweet po-
tatoes and has one hundred hogs to
butcher or sell.
1 have visited three old Confeder-
ate Veterans in the last week between
IS and 80 years of age, who have
about run their race. I met another
in Bishopville "a years of age who is
still very active for one of his age.
There are many changes being
made. Many have moved already.
Mostly among the tenants. 1t seems
that most of our farms will be culti-
waited under this system before many
years, and the landlords move to
town or ride around in automobiles.
But l don't blame them, I would do
likewise if 1 could afford it.
Though L admire the spirit Of Mr..
Ford and sincerely hope his efforts
will help to stop this cruel, uncalled
for war, yet I think he could have ac-
complished much more good If his
immense fortune had been used to
help educate our poor white children
and relieve the needs of the needy.
a forest fire destroyed a tenant
house on the farm of the late w. A.
Green. 1t was not occupied.
Everything is moving on very
smoothly in this section.

most Imply into the chair he had
pushed forward. Havey paced the mar
row length Of the room, pausing once
to gaze down at the rigid body of the
dead man. AT last he came and took
his place squarely before her by the
hearth, both hands thrust deep into
his coat-pockets. A long black lock
fell over his forehead and he impa.
tlently shook it back.
"ln the first place." he began in his
deliberate voice. ''ye've said some

TILLMAN PROPOSES ARMOR
PLANT.
South Carolina Senator Will Present
Bill for Establishment of Federal
Factory.

Washington, Dec. 9.-Senator Till
man, chairman of the committee on
naval affairs of the senate, will in
troduce a bill tomorrow for the es-
Establishment Of a government armor
plate factory.
Senator Tillman said today that he
considered it of vital importance il
the United States is to continue to
build battleships and to need armor
plate that it should have it's own fac
tory.
He said that in past years the gov
ernment had been at the mercy of the
private armor plate manufacturers,
that it would continue to be at their
mercy unless steps were taken which
in a measure would make the govern
ment independent Of the private con-
Germs.
Roosevelt, when he was president,
took action which did away with COM
petition among armor plate makers
who submitted bids to the govern
ment," said Senator Tillman, "and
forced combination as to prices upon
them. This was brought out clearly
at the time of investigation in the
last session of congress by a special
committee created to investigate and
report to congress upon the cost OF
erection of an armor plate factory for
the government.
1.-The testimony of William p. Bar
| ba, manager of the Midvale Steel
company, was to the effect that while
it had underbid its two competitors
for armor plate, Roosevelt had said:
Here, you can't make all this armor
plate. Divide it among the three.'"
| Senator Tillman said that he beiiev-
ed the naval appropriation bill would
be late coming to the senate for con-
federation, that it might not reach the
senate until June, and for that reason
he desired to offer a separate measure
for an armor plate factory and get it
considered as soon as possible.

ter tire ye out right smartly."
The girl made no move to take the
chair. and Anse Havey took one step
forward and pointed to it. This time
his voice came quick and sharp, like
the crack of q mule-whip.
