There were about eight fo* hounds loose around the premises with full freedom to wander i*Uo the^og lots and ground the slaugh ter liouse. Those hounds it seems [are loose day and night.

"While they were disappointed at not having Mr. Edwards, the pas tors of the various churches In Cam den made Interesting and helpful talks and the services were much enjoyed by everyone.

Isn't that enough to regard this place as aii alarming menace to the county? The bulletin continues: "No pig ought to be brought from such a locality until one year after the death or recovery of the last case" or "persons, dogs, implements, or feed coming from an infected ground must be kept away from an uninfected place until they have been disinfected." Shall this place continue under the authority and protection of the city to threaten the whole county, and to jforce ua to eat meat tainted and polluted? So fax as I am oom cerned I have Instructed my family never again to use any meat killed at this butcher pen. Laurens T. Mills. For some time the newspapers, butchers and citizens have been kicking about the so-called "sani tary" slaughter pen and the Incon venience to which the country peopl and butchers were put, but not un til the publication of Mr. Mills' let ter in The MetfBenger Tuesday morn ing did council take any actiqn In ^the matter. The ' citizens regret that Camden has been subjected to aoch undesirable . advertising, but sometimes it takes facts brought to them in cold print, In their true light to fltir them to action. Mr. Mills has done a good piece ofwork for the city. At a meeting of City Council held Tuesday night, the alaughter pen ordinance was discussed at length and the following resolution was passed: "Be it -resolved, that the provis ions of an ordinance regulating the butchering of fresh meat In the City of Camden, S. C., dated Maroh 1$, 1912, and amendments thereto, bo su pended until the present slau ghter pen and the adjacent premi ses are put ln a sanitary condition acceptable to the City Council, or i until another slaughter pen is erec ted within the city limits under the [provisions of tho aatfl ordinance."
