After a long and tOrtuOus journey through federal and state boards, the petition finally reached the board of agriculture, and Jewell Mayes replied that after care full search of the statutes he believes the beekeepers have no recourse at law, but are liable themselves under the statutes prohibiting trespassing.- Jefferson City correspondence Sedalia Capital.

SANITARY MARKETING MEAT
STILL UNDER DISCUSSION

4 very gratifying meeting was held
in Ncwberry Thursday last, at $50
p. m., on the very important subject
of meat inspection and proper sanl-
tary conditions surrounding I slaugn-
ter house.
DR.. w. X. Lewis, the federal inspec-
tor in charge. and veterinarian for the
state of South Carolina, had planned
to be present on this occasion, but
could not arrange matters at the last
moment, and sent in mis- stead, Dr..
Gallagher who has had considerable
experience in packing houses. Gr.
Gallagher told Of the very Important
factor of having at Inspected by
competent m"r insure the public
against tube SIS, tape worm, etc.
The rea at of the evening came
when Dr. F1nney delivered very
comprehensive description of just eN-
actly what the present condition IN
the slaughtering business in New5erry
is today; and suggested a very simple
manner wherby the town can and
would very easily get meat killed un-
der sanitary conditions with meat IN
snection which is by far the most I'M
portant of the two if the town coun-
Gil will pass an ordinance that all
meat sold in the incorporated limits
of Newberry shall comply with some
thing like the following: All animals
killed for eating purposes IN the
town of Newberry shall be slaughter
ed under sanitary conditions (these
sanitary conditions to be specified as
to fields, water, delivery, disposal of
refuse, etc.,, last and the most I'M
portant thing, all meat killed for eat
ing purposes must be inspected by
competent authority before it will be
permitted to place this meat on the
market for sale.
It seems at this time the most feas-
iblc course would be for the council
to pass some such ordinance to take
effect at some pear future date, IN
order to allow a suitable place to be
erected and the necessary arrange
ments made for inspection of all
meat.
Motion voted chat the board of di-
rectors be requested to continue the
investigation and agitation for the
Improvement in slaughtering condi-
tons in .Newberry.

Last week an article was handed
to the two local papers on the curt
market situation and the report from

carry this report in the last issue

been granted by the Highway COM
mission to use in front of the old
court house for a. chicken, egg and
butter market (provided the butter
manufacturers can show that THEN
cows have been tested for tuberculo-
sis).
sThe first day this curb market will
be opened will be Saturday morning
at 9 a. m., June the 18th.
All citizens in the county WHO can
supply chickens, eggs, and butter are
requested to bring them to Ncwberry
on this date. Likewise the housewives
are requested to bear this in mind,
that Saturday morning, June 18th,
chickens, eggs and butter can be
bought in front of the old court house
in the so-called curb market.
