LAW STRICTLY ENFORCED

Control and Eradication Of Disease
Made Possible by Statute Protect
ing State Against fmportations OF
Unlnspected Animals - Only One
Case of Chambers In South Carolina
In Eighteen Months.
Chambers, one of the most destruct-
i've diseases of horses and mules and
one that ma be contracted by man.
has been almost eradicated from
South Carolina DIR. Robert o. Feeisy.
State Veterinarian at Clemson College.
has announced that In the Last eigh-
teen months only one caee Of gtanderD
has been found In the state. For
three years. In fact, cases Of gtanderS
have been scarce and 1t is believed
that with q continuation Of precau-
ttonary methods this state need not
fear outbreaks Of this maleEoaent dis
sease. Dr.. Feeley attributes the con-
troll Of gianders 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 Crim-
nal Code was passed, glanders was
quite prevalent in certain sections OF
the state. Section 622 made 1t unlaw.
full "to bring into the state any horses,
mules. asses. cattle. sheep Or swine
for work, feeding, breading or dairy
purposes, unless such animals have
been examined and found free from"
glanders, tuberculosis, scabies, and
a number of other diseases. This free
dom from disease must be established
by a certificate Of health from an OIL
cial veterinarian IN the place Of ship
ment. There arc other provisions in
the law, all Of them making 1t possi-
bic TOR The veterinary division Of
Clemson Coitage to control outbreaks
Of contagious diseases IN this state.
This law was put into force by the
veterinarians Of the college as soon
as It Was passed and 1t Was especially
effective in checRiug glanders. Where
ever a case Of this disease was found
the animal was destroyed and the
premises dtsfnfected carefully. Little
by nttls the disease has retreated be-
fore the vigilant fight that has BEEN
made. The law has, Of course, meant
much tn the control of other con-
tagious diseases also, but 1t 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. III 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-
tectian to our farmers"

A TREE OF DOUBLE Value
South Carolina Farmers Urged to
Plant Pecan For Its Shade as
Well as It's Fruit.

I have before me pecan nuts Of the
1915 crop that were grown in the
Coastal section OF South Carolina and
some others that were produced in
the extreme northwestern corner OF
the state at an elevation Of 900 feet.
These nuts, representing one Of our
best varieties, the Stuart, are suffi.
cient evidence that the pecan will
thrive in practically every locality in
South Carolina. from the foothills Of
the Blue Ridge Mountains to the sea-
shore.
Each of our farm homes should be
surrounded by nut-bearing trees rath-
er than by other trees Of less beauty
and of no economic value. We pay
high prices for small inferior nuts
when about our very doors can be
grown the choicest sorts. Further
more. there are large possibilities in
the production Of pecans for CONNER
cial purposes Standard varieties sell
dom sell for less than 80 cents
pound. yet there is profit in growing
pecans at 10 cents a pound. pecan
orchard of good varieties gives pleas
ure as we'll as profit and is to any
farm or suburban home permanent
and valr4Sle asset
The most important point In the
successful establishment of pecan
orchard is to use vigorous trees or
good varieties. Varieties recommend
ed for South Carolina are Stuart.
Schley, Success, Van Deman, Frot-
scher. Pabst, and Money-Maker. Set
the trees carefully in large deep holes
about 60 feet apart each way. Give
them as much care and attention as is
given your most profitable farm crop
and you Will not be disappointed III
the results. A neglected pecan tree
will yield no more profitable returns
than will any other neglected crop or
fruit tree.
It is we'll to plant the orchards to
garden or field crops. driving stakes
beside the trees to prevent them from
being bruised in cultivating. Intensive
cultivation and fertilizing of the crops
between the rows Of trees will usually
be sufficient to keep the pecans grow
ing thriftily.
A few nuts may be expected from
each tree in three years after trans
planting and the amount will increase
each year. By the tenth year the trees
should be yielding profitable crops.
In fact, if a pecan orchard is cared
for properly it will come into profit
able bearing in about the same length
Of time as will an apple orchard.

ANOTHER NUISANCE.


We have not seen anybody, ex.
cept Marshall Durdin, in DANCE,
Of hurting themselves trying to i'm.
prove sanitary conditions around
Camden lately. Neither do We
miss the trash, litter such al
sticks, pieces Of plank, large stones
etc, etc. around town.
Much to the discredit of our town
the wreck of the old Finley build.
ing has not been removed. Since
our last mention of this matter we
learn that another public nuisance
and fever-breeding place is per-
mitted to exist. We refer to the
stagnant pool Of water in the base
ment Of the old Finley building. Z
Much to the discredit Of our Of
ticials and even citizens weeds are
permitted to grow everywhere,
though our new Marshal is making
an earnest effort, we are pleased to
say, to remove some Of them.
Much to the discredit of our
town, barrels for holding trash, re-
fuse, rotten fruit and other evil
smelling nuisances are kept on the
sidewalk instead Of the back alleys
and in the rear Of the stores using
them.
Much to the discredit of our
town and county, the court yard
has looked like a new clearing since
last winter and no effort has been
made to make it easy to get water
from the deep we'll. It needs a
new engine or something.
Should such a state of affairs ex-
ist IN town that boasts of her
progressiveness like Camden? We
think not, and yet they do. The
booster spirit of some men is limit
ed to a lot of noise and a big dis
play occasionally. Others seek a
little notcriety and want full credit
for everything they do. OF course
this is to be expected, and, so far az
we are concerned, they are welcome
to all the glory they can get out Of
it justsothey will join hands and
help clean up the old town one
time.

ARE YOU FOR CAMDEN !?

The attention Of the citizens of
Camden is directed to the an
nouncement Of an all-night service
by the Camden Electric Light Go.
As we have stated before, you
encouraged the young men to put
their money in the enterprise, and,
naturally, Of course, they expected
you would patronize them. Some,
we regret to say, have failed in this
respect.
After few months experience
they find it will be impossible to
operate the plant on the present
revenue, hence they have decided
to give an all-night service and
quote rates that will, if Camden's
citizens do their part, enable them
to continue giving the town lights,
Its up to you. Do you believe
in progressiveness? Are you for
Camden? Are you interested in
the town being lighted? Are you
interested in having lights in your
Ikome?

proof Of your booster spirit than
BY having your business house

EDGINGTON'S ARREST.

The arrest Of Jesse Edgington,
former Judge Of the First Criminal
County Of Shelby County, is only
: sequel to his impeachment for
malfeasance in Office. Some Of the
charges Of which Edgington was
found guilty relate to the taking Of
brides and making his court a ref
uge for criminals. He was also
found guilty Of making cost mill
to fatten the purses Of city officials.
In the Stadmiller case he was found
guilty Of mulcting the State for If
teen hundred dollars.
The conviction Of Edgington by
the State Senate sitting as court
Of impeachment had been generally
anticipated from the nature Of the
evidence in the case. A fact that
this-evidence made plain is that the
corruption in his court was merely
incident to and a corollary Of the
general corruption which it has
been SO often demonstrated was
rife in Shelby County, all Of which
goes to prove that the ballot is the
main bulwark against vice and COR
ruption. Let that be corrupted
and nothing in our public institu-
etions can be kept pure.
As the Nashville Banner says,
III was rotten politics that led to
and made not only possible but in
evitable the rotten conditions in
the Shelby County Criminal Court.
Tits we'll to remove Jesse Edging-
ton, but il the evil Of which he has
been an example is to be ersdicated
and the court purged Of corruption,
the gang Of politicians and the ma
chine they have worked which are
responsible for weak and vicious
men in Office, need also to be re-
moved. There is work for the peo-
pie. 1.-THE Shelby County citizen
ship wishes to wipe out the stigma
the corruption in their Criminal
Court has imposed and insure bet
ter conditions in the future, it must
assert itself at the ballot box"
One notable fact brought out in
the proceedings against Edgingtou
was that the law-abiding people Of
Shelby County in particular are
greatly indebted to the Memphis
Commercial Appeal. Single hand.
