THURSDAY APRIL 23, 1914. Governor Blease says he is ready the to lead the South Carolina regiments against Mexico. Armed with a handful of mud and a few “vitriolic expletives” of the variety used in the bi-ennial cir cus we venture the opinion that Huerta would soort be in full flight. Not satisfied with the responsibilities incumbent upon a follower 1 of the Fourth Estate, Editor Ed DeCamp, of the ‘Gaffney Ledger, will soon be a father-in-law. His daughter is to be married in June. Snake stories have'already started. The Allendale Herald reports .that a •» rattlesnake 5 1-3 feet long and sporting 16 rattles has beef killed on W. F.

The announcement of probable War with Mexico has caused many brave (?) hearts to flutter in the breasts of National Guardsmen. HOW FARMERS CARRY CHOLERA TO HOGS Prmctic* of Visiting Cholsra-Infested Lots Should Bo Abandoned. Clemson College, April 22.—The farmer is unconsciously a big factor in the spread 6f hog colera, according to Dr. M. Ray Powers, State Veterinarian and head of the veterinary division of Clemson College. There are sev eral explanations of this. One is that failure to bury dead hogs is a very common practice throughout the State. Although this is against the law, public sentiment does not enforce the proper disposal of carcasses and con sequently hog cholera is wide spread. The hog cholera virus is very easily carried.A group of farmers suddenedly decid%Jp go and look at the sick hogs of a friend, They do so. The hogs have cholera. The farmers trap over ‘ the hog lot looking at the sick animals. They are next likely to go to see some fine breeding hogs of another neigh bor. The chances are in favor of the tatter hogs being infected by virus car ried on the shoes and clothing of the visitors. This is also a good way of cahying cholera to their hogs at home. No farmer with hogs suspected of having cholera has a right,. according to Dr. Powers, to allow a neighbor to enter his hog lot. Dogs should be kept in at night, as they are also good carriers of the disease. In discussing ways in which hog cholera is spread, Dr. Powers took occasion to mention the buzzard. He said he had come across cases where there was apparently no way for chol era to have invaded the herds and had found out by investigation that buz- . zards had broughtthe disease from long distances. The buzzard, he said, carried other contagious animal diseases, though it is as carrier of hog cholera that it does its worst work. Dr. Powers strongly advocates the repeal of the law making the killing of buzzards illegal. He classes these birds among the mqst obnoxious of the farmer’s feathered enemies." But the farmer himielf. Js a targe factor in spreading hog cholera and Auty fn and—v«w tn spread of the disease, not only by using serum but by quarantining his herd and burning or burying carcasses of ail Serum, Dr. Powers pointed out, only, weapon in the ' «.
