HOG CHOLERA EPIDEMIC RE-
SUITS IN QUARANTINE FOR
JEFFERSON

The epidemic of hog cholera IN
jefferson county has reached such
alarming proportions that Commits
sioner of Agriculture John w. Smith
has issued an official proclamation,
putting the county under strict quar-
sntine. so far as traffic in hogs IS
concerned.
DR.. H. NJ Newton. state veterinar-
ian, Of Charleston has arrived to SUD
ervise the battle with the deadly cpl
demic, which, he says, is the worst
since 1913. Over 100 herds in Jeffer-
erson county have been stricken with
the disease. for a total loss In the
last month Of from 1900 to 1000
hogs, according to Drs. A. A. Johns
ton and S. NJ. Langford, local veteri-
narians.
jefferson county hog-raisers have
been hard put to find serum for then
herds lately. The cholera infection
is rather general over the Eastern
corn belt section, and available sup
plies of the serum have been usec
up. Numbers Of the Jefferson people
are marketing their hogs regardless
Of size and condition before the dis

Mr.. RoBINsoN's ELECTION TO
THE SENATE.

In the large vote given Senator
Elect Frank B. Robinson in the cleo
ton yesterday, the people Of Jeffer-
son County have expressed their ap-
probation Of the sterling worth Of
Mr.. Robinson as a citizen Of Jeffer-
son County. In spite of his opposite
politics to the large majority of the
voters Of the county. That MT.
Robinson viii fiji the office with
credit TO the District and with fdeli-
tv 10 the interests Of his constituents
Is without question. The result is no
reflection on Mr.. Cowgirl the Demo-
cratic candidate, but was brought
about by the fact that Jefferson
County voters could not be held in
line against as popular citizen as
Mr.. Robinson, who is identified with
practically every movement for the
advancement of the community.
