Reports of the Pleasant Valley

of the contents of the

stated that when the paper went
to press Tuesday afternoon
TIIK LANCA6TKR MEETING
was being held, conducted bv
Dr. L. A. Klein, Clemson's vet
/ erinary surgeon, and Prof II. 1)
House, professor ol bottny. Col.
A. I?. Banks presided over the
meeting, which was held in the
courthouse, and introduced the
speakers.
Dr. Kline gave an interesting
lecture on I ho subject of terberculosis
in cattle. He said it was
an old disease and affected man,
in whom it is usually called consumption,
and all animals, both
domestic and wild. It is some
times loundjin animals continedm
zoological gardens. The cause ol
the disease was not known until
1882, when Dr. Koch, a Herman
physician, discovered the tuber
cles. The disease is usually ol
slow development, cominu on
gradually. The usual symptoms
ill the case ol a cow with tuberculosis
are fever, cough, abnormal
appetite ami loss ol llesh. The
doctor explained how the test is
made to determine whether a
cow is affected with the disease,
4* which is by injecting a certain
tl 11 ill into the h ood If the co*
is healthy, there will be no change
in temperature, but it diseased,
temperature will rise. Ue said
that there is practically little or
no danger ot the disease in a
country I ike this, where cows are
lot kept in large herds and where
^ they get plenty ol sunshine and
outdoor exercise. It is in large
and old dairies, as in New York,
Pennsylvania and Wisc;?n in.

found together and in closo quarters,

Letter from Georgia.
Former Lancastrian" on his
Recent Pleasant Visit to his
Old Home?The Many Improvements
Noted Tillman
and his Speech at
Lancaster.
Mr Editor: The writer and
ft tor lijvlf have j ust rot hi ned
'oin a visit, to old Lancaster
unity. Whit a tine time wo
id havc, going around anions
ie relatives ?ml friends, again
oking into so many familiar
ices and shaking hands ot old
iends in good old Lancaster
DUiitv. We saw many whom we
men to see last, year, as our
isit then was a very short one
tid this was a longer one by
jveral days. And yet we wantJ
to stay longer, hot couldn't
11 account of our time being
mited.
Time has wrought many cluings
in the old county in the past
>w years. It. seems to us that
nee we ^lelt there live years
go a very great many changes
ave taken place, many improvelents
have been made. It it
jems so '? us we dare say Utile
JohnTwitty ot Vahlosta, who
ias been away so much longer
lian we have, would scarcely
ecormizo hia nntiv?
_ ^ ?*.?? * vy WUUI,V IIUW.
Vould he recognize the city of
,ancaster, his old home, with her
ip-to date national bank, millionoil
ar cotton mill, new fchool
abiding, asphalt pavements on
lain street, numbers of handome
new residences and busiess
blocKs and various other
nprovements too numerous to
lent ion? Would he recognize
lie towns of Kershaw and
lealh Springs, both of which
ave grown and had so many
hnnges and improvements?
Vere it not for the fact that lie
as kept ported through the
Lancaster papers and, no doubt,
liters from trieiuls in the county
? scarcely believe so. Mr.
witty, you had better go back
a a visit to the old county some
ime soon, lor she's still growing
nd you might not know her
'hen you -o'" her again, if y<>u
on't hurry.
On tin- last day ot our visit, we

Spoke at Woodmen Picnic
at Filbert.
Yorkville special in Wednesday's
Stale : The annual pion-'.o
ot the Woodmen of l he World at
Filbert, live miles north o!
place, was a most one.
It is estimated that over 3,Odd
people were there and it wxs a
I most orderly crowd. CongrewI
man Fin ley made an excellent
presiding officer and introduced
J the speakers in a pleasing v **.
The Yorkville band, directed Uy
l'rof. llernden, furnished
music, the dinner whs a femurs
of tne occasion and hospit a lily
and good feeling was unbounded.
Senator Tillman spoke first.,
advocating the dispensary, opposing
compulsoiy education
and occasionally warming up
when he would throw a few feat
shots at The State and The News
and Courier, Senator Brice, tt.?*
recent county convention tint
refused to endorse him, and the
Yorkville ring, as he call* it,
who he said tries to control
county politics. Mis speech wis
about as has previously reported
from other places. He sari
compulsory education was x
snake and would educate th?
negro and fit him for vohiu.
Said the way to educate ?oin*
editors was to stop taking their
papers.
He was cheered, but it w.ss
not the wliooping of former
years. While he Ikik many friends
in York county, people are doing
their own thinking and will to
their own voting.
Mr. F. H. Hyatt next mjio? a.

well received, and later he wms

speech in behalf of the cotton
association, which took
