SECOND CASE OF
ANTHRAX FOUND
In RESERVE AREA
Norman Eidness Looses 4
Head of Cattle, Two
Horses

The anthrax malady is spreading
among cattle in the Reserve terri
tory. After A. M. Grimsrud, of
Antelope, had lost ten head of cat
tie two weeks ago it was now dis
covered that the herd of Norman
EidnesS, Reserve, was also infected
with the fatal disease.
j. w. Richardson, assistant state
veterinarian found that four head
of Eidness' cattle and two horses
had died from anthrax. He imme-
diately took steps to prevent the
further spreading of the disease
through the rest of the herd as
we'll as to other farms.
! The veterinarian is urging all
farmers living in the infected area
/ to have their herds vacinated i'm
mediately. He explained that every
precaution had been taken against
committing the error of two years
ago when the wrong vaccine was
administered to cows. DR.. Robin
son pointed out that farmers coult
administer the vaccine themselveI
without the help of veterinarian
The doses necessary for one vacci
nation will cost approximately 2
cents per head.
The carcasses of the affected
horses and cattle were burned i'm
mediately in order to avoid pos
sible danger of the further spread
ing of the disease.

= Georgia VS.. Communism 3
TJm

But these black victims have a
better dav coming. They are win
ming the support of the millions of
exploited white workers. And this
is exactly what creates fear In the
hearts of the oppressors. This is
why they resort to the most base
and savage methods in order to
hold their captives at bay. They
know that once the hands of unity
between the Negro and white work
ers have been solidlv welded, their
days are numbered. Therefore the
attorneys for the state in nv case
were fully aware of the perform
ance of their duty when they
asked the iurv to stamp this
thing out" with conviction.
The Gar of Russia tried the
same thing. The Fascist hounds
of Germany are trying to do the
same thing. The Kuomintang
butchers are trying to drown in
blood the heroic Chinese SOviets.
But all efforts have proved to be
of no avail.
Thus it is clear that Communism
which is embodied in the very souls
Of all working men cannot be de-
stroyed and all efforts and at
temptS to 90 so only serve to &C.
celerate it's growth. Communism
is not something that is foreign to

slave Law
This is punishable by death, ac-
cording to the law. This old anti
quated law was passed in 1861, In
the interest of the Southern slave
holders who were shocked at the
rebellion of the Negro slaves. In
1867 the law was revised only in
sofar as the words master" and
"slave" were stricken out. In its
present form it carries the pro-
vision for an automatic penalty Of
death. but in the discretion of the
jury sentence can be, fixed from
five to 20 years on the murdeFous
Georgia chain gangs.
The six young workers who were
the first to ever be arrested ana
indicted under this law were Ee-
leased on bail, a direct result Of

workers and intellectuals that CEN
tered around the case. Demurrers
attacking the constitutionalitv OF
the law were filed with the Su'

law was valid and that the SID
