By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. u.
DURING THE past year great
deal of progress has been made IN
combating the disease of undulant
fever. Perhaps the man in the street
has no idea of the seriousness OF
this situation in North America.
When a member of the family is
stricken, he begins to wonder about
the nature of this malady, of which
he has been totally ignorant. Every
once in while an epidemic strikes
a small community, and then they
learn that this has happened often
during the last Is years in our
country.
The infection was described a
good many years ago when an cpl
demic started on the island of
Malta. Goats milk is there the reg
ular brand and the goats were in
fected with this germ. 1t got into
their milk and when humans drank
it, they were liable to come down
with the fever. 1t was a slow, low,
prolonged fever. 1t had its active
periods, for weeks the patient run
ming a temperature, then was nor
NAL for weeks, and then shot up
again. 1t went on sometimes for a
year or more.
Seemed Far Away
It all seemed very far away to US
goats and Malta. And then it was
found that North American herds Of
cattle were infected. And human
cases cropped up. They increased
until now there is never a time when
it is not present in our population.
l get letters at least twice week
asking for information about undu-
liant fever.
1t is difficult to know how it gets
into herd. And it spreads rapidly.

ANTI-LYNcHINa BILL RIDICULOUS

It's no wonder many people think our country is going
to the dogs when we have . bunch of congressman who will
take up days without end in discussing q bill which, if pass
ed, is nothing short of Ridiculous, besides being an afront to
every man and woman In the south. We refer to the anti
Hnching bill which the leaders (D Of our great country are
trying to cram down our threats.
We have no fault to find with loyal southerners who will
filibuster to the last breath to keep the measure from COM
ing to a vote. They are using the only weapon they have to
kill the bill.
They know there is no need for legislation against a con-
dition that does not exist.
There were only 8 lynchings in 1887, the same number
as in 1886. There were 20 in 1886, Is in 1884. All of the per-
sons lynched were in the hands of the law. Three were taken
from jails, and five from officers Of the law outside of jails.
Two of the victims were tortured with a blow torch then one
was shot to death and the other was burned to death,
On the other hand there were Sc instances where officers
Of the law prevented lynchings.
All of this shows southern officers have made a good
job of holding their prisoners safe i'll jail until the law can
Lake its course.
Who can guess within a hundred the race riots. gang
killings, Jail breaks, kidnappings and the like III the rest of
the countryi
All of which summed up means, in our ouinion, the

SALES TAX REPEAL

The sales tax is with us to stay. We might as well
reconcile ourselves to it.
And we are not sorry.
1t seems to us it is fair, hitting everyone alike
Governor White, in his message TO the Legislature, pro-
claims the present revenue structure of the state sound and
says it should not be disturbed. More than 90 per cent OF
the States revenues are now being collected by the Tax Com
mission and the figure is estimated at ~ per cent for tie next
bienniun.
Homestead exemptions and considerable property tax
burdens have been lifted.
Governor White gives some enightening figures on the
sales tax returns:
"Why should we inject into the field Of controversy over
. division or diversion Of any Of these revenues, a tax struc-
ture, which as now administered has accomplished it's pur
pose and has made possible the above resuHsf The sale, tax
alone, in 1886, amounted to $5,304I $4,000. This was suffi-
cient to take care of the States entire appropriation for COM
mon schools for that year, with q balance remaining OF $l9l,-
$500 The sales tax was sufficient to take care Of the
entire debt service Of the State for 1896, retiring bonds to the
amount of g. 731. 10000 and meeting 1885, ,947OO OF interest.
Il did this and left a balance of 1921, 265O0 for other pur-
poses. The same tax was sufficient to take care OF the
States appropriations in 1886 for the expenses OF the Legisla-
ture, the Supreme Court and Circuit and Chancery Judges,
the public health and hospital service, the upkeep OF public
buildings, all universities and colleges, all eleemosynary in
situations, the National Guard, Confederate pensions, Old Age
Assistance and emergency relief. 1t is doing the same thing
for 1887"
Undoubtly the sales tax will and should remain.
