To Prevent Hog Cholera.

Owing TO the widespread prevalence
OF hog cholera in this State and the great
necessity for food conservation, especial
ly at this time, the State Department OF
Agriculture at Charleston is endeavoring
TO control the ravages OF this most de-
structive disease by the use OF the vac
cination method OF prevention, which
will lmmunize the hogs from cholera dur
ing their natural existence. The depart
ment has limited amount OF money at
its disposal for the control OF diseased
animals, part Of which can be used for
this purpose, but il is inadequate to vac
cinate all OF the hogs in the State free of
charge. So, in order 10 extend the work
as far as possible, the department will
arrange TO assist the hog owners OF the
State by furnishing one OF its consulting
veterinarians and transportation, without
charge to the owner, to vaccinate the
hogs in any community, and charge the
owner for the vaccine used al the rate OF
30 cents per hundred pounds OF live
weight, which is the actual cost of the
material.
DR.. A. J. Holt, veterinarian in the De-
partment OF Agriculture, was in the coun-
ty recently consulting with local vet
erinarians in regard TO the cholera situa-
ton here. Hog cholera, he states, is
more prevalent here than in any county
of the State. He expressed surprise that
all the farmers in the county did not avail
themselves OF the aid offered by the
State in an effort to reduce losses from
the disease.
The double treatment as now used is
preventive that has been thoroughly test
ed 1t has proven success wherever it
has been used. II is as reliable a guar
anty against cholera losses as fire inSur-
ance is in protecting you against loss by
tire. Failure TO avail yourself OF this
insurance is not only unwise, but it is
unpatriotic as well, for you are beSought
10 produce as much food as you can this
year.

Jury Had A Mind OF Its Own.

A curious proceeding occurred in the
Berkeley Circuit Court at Martinsburg
last week. The suit in which attorneys
for the defunct Eastern Panhandle Fair
Association were seeking TO make de-
linquent stockholders pay up their stock
subscriptions was being tried, and after
the evidence was in, but before the case
was argued, Judge Wood directed the
jury to return verdict in favor OF the
iair association. w. O. c. Payne, a
juror in the case, refused TO sign such
verdict Attorney H. II. Emmert wanted
Judge Woods 10 send Mr.. Payne TO jail
for contempt OF court, but he refused 10
do so, and after charging the jury sent
out 10 find verdict. Later in the day
the jury reported that it was utterly un-
able 10 agree, whereupon it was dis
charged from further consideration OF the
case. The case now goes over 10 the
next term of court, when il will come TO
trial for the third time.

Our County Needs No Grand Jury.

=
Judge ]. M. Woods has issued instruc-
tions that no grand jury need be called
Tor the regular October term OF the Jef-
ferson Circuit Court, which convenes in
Charles Town next Tuesday. Not one
case has arisen in the county since the
May term OF court which calls for an in
dictment. So much for dry State !!
The obablity is that when the whiskey
saloons of Washington county, Md, are
closed next May that crime in this section
will be reduced to minimum, and many
a term will need no grand jury. This
will be large saving OF money 10 the
taxpayers.
There are a few civil cases as well as
an indictment or two left over from former
terms for the petit jury TO consider. The
petit jury will convene on Tuesday, Oc-
tober q, and the following have been
summoned for service at that time:
]. A. Daley, Geo. M. Locke, g. N.
FdHNClIC, DSHJ' NioHSiJ SHaiiSo HiooiS' ,

A law passed at the last session OF the
Legislature, and which became effective
in May, prohibits any man from serving
as a Juror who has served in that capacity
during the past four years. This has
caused good deal of trouble in various
parts of the State, and may result in some
confusion in our county at the present
time.

News Of Our Soldier Boys.

Arthur Taylor Bragonier, who was one
of the three young men sent first from
Jefferson county to Camp Lee, at Peters
burg, has returned to his home here,
having been discharged because OF ply
steal disability. Last May Mr.. Bragonier,
who is a civil engineer by profession,
volunteered for the officers reserve
corps, but was rejected for physical
reasons, he being affected with serious
form OF heart trouble. Atthe examin alton
before the local draft board, however, ne
was accepted, and went 10 Camp Lee
early in September. He was unable TO
stand the strenuous exercises there, and
after examination by three army surgeons
at the camp he was discharged from
further service. He had been attached
TO Battery B, 3l3 Field Artillery. Mr..
Bragonier was at his home here couple
OF days this week, prior TO going 10 Balti-
more, where he will be in the engineering
service OF the B. & o. Railroad, and gave
interesting accounts OF the conditions at
Camp Lee He experienced some regret
at leaving there, for he says that the life
is healthful and invigorating and has its
own peculiar attractions. He stated that
our Jefferson county men are all getting
along splendidly and show the very finest
spirit, doing their duty faithfully and
being greatly interested in their work.
The first contingent look fine in their
new uniforms, and the men OF the second
call are also probably in uniform by this
time. All OF our county men, except
those who have been detached for special
duty, are in The artillery arm OF the SER
vice, which is regarded as very desirable.
There are now about 900 men at Camp
Lee, and the number will be increased
until 10000 are in the camp. Food is
good and plentiful and altogether the
men are quite as comfortable as could
be expected. They seem to like the
soldiers life more and more as they be-
come accustomed TO it. Already there is
talk OF going 10 France, and many OF the
men are eager for the time to come when
they can 60 across the seas and help put
the Germans out OF business. One OF
their favorite songs is, God Help Kaiser
Bil"-when they get there. Mr.. Bra
gonier says that the Y. M. c. A. work is
the best thing in the camp. The build
ingS provided by this organization are
headquarters for the men, and wholesome
entertainments and amusements and many
appreciated convenienceS and attentions
are freely given to the soldiers Money
contributed 10 the Y. M. c. A.. war fund
reaches the spot and does The work.
The word that Mr.. Bragonier brings back
OF the conditions at the camp and OF the
spirit OF the soldiers is very satisfying,
and those who have sons and other rel
atives there will be greatly gratifled TO
know that the boys are being so well
taken care Of.
