Paragraphs Cover lng a Wide Range-What is Going On in Our State. Reports of Glanders. . A number of reports have come in to the governor's office recently of al leged cases of glanders, but so far as known here there have been no spread of the disease at any point. In many instances it has been discovered that the disease thought to be glan ders was not a contagious disease at alL. Governor Ansel says there seems I to be a', general misunderstanding as to how to proceed to get cases of the kind investigated by the .State yetinanan at Clemson College. A special act of the Legislature gives the Clemson board of trustees author tiy to make rules and regulations to guide the. vetinarian in such cases, ' the governor's office has nothing io do with it. All requests for the ser vices, of the expert are at once refer red by the governor tc the vetinarian. Those having fears of contagious dis- J ease among the cattle should commu- j nicate with the Clemson man at once direct, which would save time. One of the rules is that each report of a supposed contagious disease must be epr'i rscd by .at least two reputable citizens of the community. The veti narian then sends blanks for a" fuller report. . The opject of the rules and regulations is is-to avoid unnecessary expense in investigating groundless reports. Governor Ansel has re ceived a telegraphic request from Gif ?ford, Barnwell, for immediate help in Jthe case of a mule supposed to be suf Tering. from glamors. The Governor s not an expert on mule nature mt he surmises it might nossibly be rierely a case.of mule bluffing to keep but of work. - ' . Steamer Mae At Charleston.
