nesday Afternoon for advocating the

and Marketing bill in so far as it
affects the ginners, it was unani-
mously adopted and committees
We're appointed to carry out the
plans. The report, as adopted. calls
for vigorous opposition to sections
4, 5, 6. 40 and IL of the laWk it
being evident that such sections viii
affect the price OF ginning. The as
sociation named J. T. Andrews, J
b. Hemphill and Warren Cobb as a
committee TO go to Austin to create
a sentiment in favor OF the repeal OF
the bill, and cause, if possible, a bill
to be introduced either amendin2
the new law or repeating it.
1t was further agreed that each
gin man in the county circulate a
petition among the farmers, bust
ness men and cotton buyers asking
our representatives and state sena-
tor to advocate some measure that
would give relief from this new law
These petitions were prepared We'd
nesday and have been mailed out

that the bonding feature OF the law

BOARD OF HEALTH MEETS.

At a meeting of the Board of Health
held on last Wednesday evening, at
the office of the president, George H.
Hall, it was resolved that as Colonel
Townsend has always been in favor of
better and more sanitary Milford to
ask him to publish the full proceedings
of all Board of Health meetings in the
Chronicle, so that they may have the
sympathy and hearty cooperation of
the public.
The time limit when pigs and pig-stys
must be eliminated from the town limits
was set at May lst, 1915.
The board also made the announce
ment that the week of May 10th to
May 10th inclusive will be "C!ean-Up
Week. +"
There were six "red hot" motions
approved by the board, which, when
properly enforced and carried out, will
make our town equal to any in the State
in sanitary conditions, and should great
ly reduce the present very high death
rate.
These motions and all other transac-
tions of the Board will be published in
the Chronicle of next week.
