will arrive this evening and come

meant in my telegram" she
asked.
1t wasn't a moment for hesita-
ton, and l answered quite frank
ly: II have been able to think OF
only one thing. The last time we
met, l said to you that I'd do any
thing in the world for Sir Miles
Culver's happiness.
"You have guessed rightly"
Lady Meldon almost whispered
You must tell me If I'm asking
too much. You know that the
operation on Laurie's spine was
only a partial success. It's two
months since the operation, and
Laurie is still dead man from
the waist down, and he's almost
killing Miles with his tortured re-
pinings.
Now. he has another flicker of
hope. Some one has written him
about the new celebrity in Berlin,
Doctor Won Waldhausen, who has
discovered a serum for injecting
into the spinal cord.
Laurie made Miles write at
once asking the Doctors opinion.
The German wrote back, saying
that the first operation being sue
cessful up to certain point,
would nave the Way for further

How Hoy Cholera is Spread.

Clemson College, Aug. S.-Hog
cholera is to hogs just about what
TYPHOID feevr is to man; and the ways
In which the cholera germ is carried
are probably as we'll known, if not
better known, than the ways in which
most of the human diseases are spread
If the carcass of hogfwhich died
with cholera is thrown out in the
woods, or left unburied or unburned,
puzzards, dogs and other animals are
attracted. The buzzards, after gorg
ing themselves with the infected meat
and getting the germs on their feet
and bills. fly away to alight on unin
rected premises, most probably in the
hog pen or pasture. They drop the
germs there and the hogs take 1t up.
The dogs, after having eaten their full
take bone home with them, probab-
~ passing right through the hog pas
ture on their way back to the house
and in this way also, the germ is
brought to uninfected premises 9th
er animals might spread it in similar
ways Veterinarians learned about
this by careful study and watching
and went to work to get laws passed
requiring the carcasses to be buried
or burned. South Cardinals law re-
qpires the carcass to be buried six
feet deep, or to be burned, and fixes
a penalty Of SIS for each violation.
In the classification of "other ami
mails" we should include man; be-
cause. man walking around the farm
OF neighbOr whose hogs have cholera
and then coming back to his own
premises. can carry the germ just as
easily as the buzzard or the dog. You
see, germs are not at all particular
about what they ride. This particular
germ seems to be a mighty good rider
too; he viii so down stream for quite
distance in branches and creeks that
drain infected premises: he will take
the train With hogs that are being
shipped, and stays right on the train
after the hogs get off. making the car
dangerous to other hogs health until
after 1t has been disinfected; and, he
will come with hogs from infected
premises to uninfected premises. This
last is a very common way of spread
ing the disease but q Way which need
lot be feared If the new hogs are
Iept to themselves until their free
dom from disease has been establish
cd. There are other ways in which
he disease is spread, but the above
are the most common. If care is talk
en- by all the people in a community
there need not be much loss from this
disease.

claims Of cures, the treatment of in
fantilC paralysis is as yet very unyatis
factory. The exact cause, and a cure
are yet to be discovered. hTe two
drugs being mostly used in New York
are hexamethylcnamin and adrenalin.
1t Is considered best to give the first
dose, ut least, of adrenalin by spinal
injection. Caffeine benzOate is largely
used to support weak patients. In
some of the hospitals plaster of Paris
casts are used to prevent deformity
and to relieve pain. Electricity and

The Journal today gladly gives
space to tho statement by Hon
Robert A. Cooper. of Laurens, as to
why he entered the race for COVER
nor. The statement Is couched in
excellent language and Is high
tone campaign document, typical of
MIR. Cooper who liz making his cam
paign on a very high plane. If all
candidates wero like Bob Cooper
there would he no bitterness in South
Carolina politics.
But after careful reading of the
statement we are unable to find in
1t any reason why Gov ,rnor Manning
should be defeated. and Mr.. Cooper
elected In his place. MIR. Cooper
does not show or attempt to show
wherein Governor Manning has so
failed In the discharge of the duties
OF his office that he should be re-
buked by being defeated.
The Journal has very great ad-
miration and respect for Mr.. Cooper
but feels that tho people of thu State
owe II to themselves to re-elect Gov
ernor Manning and there is nothing
In the statement issued by Mr.. Coop
er to change ones views. The de-
fcat of Governor Manning, 1t mat
ters not who may defeat him, would
be taken by the blind tigers of
Charleston and elsewhere as 4 per-
'sonal victory. Mr.. Cooper might be
rs hard on them as Mr.. Manning has
been but the tigers wouldn't care
for that. They want to punish the
man who first punished them--in
other words they want to get the

them. And getting Manning they will

Success In celery growing depends
ial:gely upon the setting out Of we'll
grown stocky plants, which IL possible,
should be removed from the bed with
a small block OF soil attached to the
roots. Before transplanting. the
plants should be assorted according to
size. and about one-third of the leaf
surface should be removed. Plants.
all of about the same size. should be
set eight inches apart in the row. In
setting out celery It Is extremely i'm
portant that the plants be set no

and the soil drawn about them. the
bud should be on level with the sur
face OF the soil; otherwise. many of
them will die from the buds being
covered with soil washed from the

Celery should be clean cultivated

SHERFEY NOT GUILTY
IS VERDICT OF COURT
MoOted Hog Case Ended When JUS
tiCe Henry Finds j. r.. Sherfey
Not Guilty on Larceny Charge

The mooted hog case was brought
to "A close in Justice Henry's court
last Saturday when that worthy
found J. Il. Sherfey not guilty of lar
ceny following a trial of the case.
Sherfey was represented by Attorney
John w. Mathews and Prosecuting
Attorney r. NJ. Burgunder appeared
for the state. The case was featured
by much contradictory evidence
The case grew out of the seizure
by Sherfey of three pigs, which he
claim ed were his own property. He
went to the farm home of J. w.
Hampton, north of Pullman, and
loaded the porkers into a wagon,
bringing them to town. Hampton at
once complained, and the warrant
charging larceny was issued at his re
quest.
Sherfey claimed that the pigs were
his by reason of an agreement en-.
tered into with Hampton at the time
the latter moved onto the farm va
Gated by Sherfey. According to Sher-
fey's story, which was corroborated
by witnesses, he left the farm, the
two men agreeing that each would
take One-half the expected litter Of
pigs. He claims that the pigs were
denied him by Hampton, but that he
took them. Hampton declared that
the agreement concerned only the
second litter OF pigs, and that he
(Hampton) was to keep the entire
first litter. The testimony favored
the contention of Sherfey, who was
promptly acquitted and permitted TO
retain the pigs.

MARTIN SALE BRINGS
HUNDREDS TO PULLMAN
An Merchants Report Record Break
ing Sales as Result of Attraction
Provided by THAT Implement
Man"

The big auction sale and barbecue
conducted last Saturday by T. C.
Martin proved a greater drawing
card than full grown circus, and
Pullman was literally crowded with
humanity from early in the m orning
until late at night. Vast throngs
crowded Grand street in front of the
Martin headquarters, while Col. j. b.
Hicks reeled off buggies, hacks,
wagons. and other vehicles until the
entire lot was disposed of. The We
hicles all brought fair prices, the
total sales amounting to something
over $4,000 and in many cases the
bidding was spirited. The value of
the big event as a drawing card was
indicated by the fact that many farm
ers used four horses to a hack or
light wagon to bring their families to
town, the roads, especially west of
Pullman, being in almost an impass-
able condition. Not only did Martin
himself get a record breaking crowd
but all the stores were crowded with
liberal buyers, and the movie"
shows provided much entertainment
for the women and children. Some
of the merchants report bigger sales
than were recorded for the market
days of last summer and fall.
The Martin barbecue, which had
been advertised far and wide, left
nothing to be desired by the inner
man. Martin had 1000 paper plates
on hand on which to pass out his
beef, beans. pickles and other trim
mings, but was forced to get addi-
tional plates, nearly 100 persons,
including men, women and children,
partaking of the feed. Owing to the
threatened inclement weather, the
outside barbecue was dispensed with
and the beef was roasted in huge
chunks by II. M. Beck, who also pre-
pared the beans, and the eagerness
with which the main items on the
bill of fare were devoured proved the
ability of the bakery man as a chef.
