NO DEATHS WHATEVER FROM HYDROPHOBIA During the Year of 1914 According to Report Recently Made. THIS IS A GOOD RECORD Sugestions Made That Ade quate Law be Made and Enforced for Licensing of Dogs. All immunizations against rabies, which this year numbered 297 against 356 for the previous year, were successful, as there were no deaths from rabies during the year, according to the annual report of F. Asbury Coward, M. D., bacteriologist, State board of health. The record shows that one patient, a white girl 8 years old, died during the first week of treatment but the attending physician was unable to obtain consent to an autopsy and hence was uncertain of the cause of death. Many experiments were tried during the year with the quinine treatment and advertised curatives for rabies, "but* they were uniformly unsucessful" writes Dr. Coward. "Sc the misty hopes of a year ago have faded before the bright light of practical experimentation, and rabies and certain death still remains synonymous." Dog License Law. In regard to an adequate dog licens ing law, Dr. Coward suggests that sucha law "would go far toward lessening the number of cases of rabies would not meet with such popular opposition as a muzzling ordinance would arouse, and if placed under the administration of the State game warden, could be effectually enforcee by his officers." The Pasteur department of the South Carolina board has since its inception treated 1,091 persons. There has been a failure percentage o1 29-100 of 1 per cent, and a total mortality of slightly under 8-10 of 1 pei cent. "These figures," writes Dr Coward, "are satisfactory, and ineli cate that the treatment furnished bj our State has equaled in efficiency that of any other commonwealth." A study of the 1,091 cases reveals the following figures on the locatioi of bites or wound: Face and head 83; bare hand or foot, 292; other un covered surfaces, 175; through cloth ing, 269; doubtful exposure, 34; no determined, 238. Further statistics show that 132 of the patients wen under 5 years of age, 421 from 5 t< 16 years, 334 from 16 to 50 years, ant 27 over 50 years. The youngest pa tient treated was six weeks old ant the oldest was 77 years old. The agt was not ascertained in the remainde: of the cases. During the six years which the tie partment has been running the fol lowing number of persons have begui treatment in the years nametl: 1909 27; 1910, 121; 1911, 114; 1912, 176 1913,356; 1914, 297, making a total o 1,091. Of this number 1,015 took th< complete treatment, and of these 381 were treated at the laboratory ant 632 at home. Much Laboratory Work. There were 4,342 diagnostic exami tions made by the laboratory depart men of the State board of health dur ing 1914, exclusive of hookworm ex aminations and tests for paratyph oid fever. This is an increase of mon than 10 per cent over the previou year. "The laboratory is now in a posi tion," says F. Asbury Coward, M. D. in his annual report, "to assist mu nicipal boards of health in the contro of quarantine for diphtheria by re lease culture.

FUTURE CUTTON CROP ~ MUST BE FINANCED Says Peter Radfield, National Lecturer of Farmers Union FROM FARMERS VIEWPOINT ITothing Quite so Destructive to Those in Distress as False Hope. Peter Radford, National Lecturer of the Farmers' Union, and agricultural expert, lias given out an interview on the hundred and thirty-five million dollar cotton holding plan, in which he presents the farmer's viewpoint of the subject. Mr. Radford want, to know what has become of the money and invites the co-operation of the business interests of the nation in warehousing and financing the cotton crops of the future. "The value of the 1914 crop is six cents less per pound or $480,000,000 less than the value cf last year's crop" said Mr. Radford. "This is a greater financial blow to the South than the freeing of the slaves. "The Farmers' Union asked Congress to meet the emergency by lending money on cotton so as to enable poor farmers to hold their crop, but the request was rejected, or rather modified by the government agreeing to join with bankers in providing a fund of $135,000,000 for lending on cotton. The anti-trust law had a special construction placed upon it, the patriotism of bankers was appealed to and headlines full of hope were flashed across the columns of the leading newspapers for a few months but? where is the money ? No farmer has ever seen a dollar of it. "There is nothing quite so destructive to those in distress as false hope, and if this movement which has been so persistently heralded to the world has failed, we are entitled to know it. "I want to call attention to the fact that the farmer?the owner of the property involved?was never consulted in the transaction. The story was told him as children are told the story of Arabian Nights and the bed-time story of the rainbow with the pot of gold, and it seems to be about the same sort of literature. The farmers were never taken into the confidence or the councils of the business men and the government officials engaged In the transaction. We do not know why. "It is perhaps sufficient to say that i business movement having for its component parts the most powerful forces on the American continent made an honest and strenuous effort to help the farmer and failed and the farmers of the South arc now drinking the bitter drugs of that failure. \pproxiinatclv three-fourts nf ton crop is now out of the hands of the producer and the poor farmer who most needed the money has already squared accounts and has begun the struggle to overcome the deficit that has taken school books from his children, shoes off his wife and threatens the shelter of his family." GIVE THE BOY A CHANCE. The world's record for corn raising belongs to Walter L. Deenson, an Alabama boy, yet in his early teens. Last year this boy raised 232 bushels of 20m on a single acre of land, which is the largest yield per acre ever recorded. This remarkable record was made by an ordinary boy and on ordinary land. He became interested in corn raisiner and studied intr? mnf. ter of the kind and proper use of fertilizers and proper cultivation. As a result of putting his knowledge to practical use, he has raised 232 bushels of corn on one acre of land, thereby winning the championship of the world. What Walter L. Deenson has done serves to show what a common everyday, out-and-out boy can do if he is given the chance. There are I thousands of ambitious boys on the rich farms of this state who never know what it is to be encouraged to take an interest in agriculture or stockraising. If these boys v. ere given a small plot of ground and some seed?corn for example?to plant and cultivate, a circus would not be able to turn their thoughts very far away from the "enchanted spot," where a wonderful harvest will be theirs to reap. A hoy may not be able to raise 232 bushels of corn on one acre of his father's land, but he can do well enough to make his efforts worth Wllilfl Wliof K/\t< tt nut in tiur> tuunu y It going after that world's championship record next year?

London, January 3.?Persevering steps, which have been taken to effect ( an understanding between the Christian Balkan States and to insure Bulgarian neutrality, apparently have not met with complete success, according 1 to dispatches from the near Eastern j Capitals, and Bulgaria, Greece, Servia i and Rouniania still are preparing for eventualities. During a discussion of the budget in the Greek Chamber of Deputies, M. Theckotis is reported to have declared j the speech recently delivered by the | Bulgaria:! premier regarding Alacedo-' nia, which Bulgaria considered should j have been given her after the last Balkan war, constituted a menace; while the Greek minister of finance said Greece was making urgent mili- , tary preparations to maintain her liberated territory. Another dispatch from Athens says the Greek government has forbidden exportation of cereals, flour, cattle, forage and arms. Should Bulgaria contrary to expectations, attack Scrvit with the object if recovering Macedonia, Greece by icr treaty obligations would, it is thought here, come to the assistance ^f Servia and the Balkan peninsula .1,1 K_ il - e - n -* I wvjuiu ui: in lhi'ul's 01 u cnirci war.

THE SECRET Of SUCCESS GENUINE MERIT REQUIRED TO WIN THE PEOPLES CONFIDENCE. Have you ever stopped to reason why it is that so many products that ire extensively advertised, all at once drop out of sight and are soon forgotten ? The reason is plain?the articles did not fulfill the promises of the man ufacturer. This applies more particularly to a medicine. A medicinal preparation that has real value almost sells itself, as like an endless chain system the remedy is recommended by those who are in need of it. A prominent druggist says: "Take for example Dr. Kelmer's Swamp Root, a preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend, for in almost every case it shows excellent results, as many of my customers testify. No other kidney remedy that I know of has so large a sale." According to sworn statements and verified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, the suc css of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is iuc to the fact that it fulfills almost wery wish in overcoming kidney, livery and bladder diseases, corrects urinary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism. You may receive a sample bottle of Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address Dr. Kelmer & Co., Binghampton N. Y., and enclose ten cents; also mention the Conway Weekly Horry Herald.?adv. MOTHER ANI) BABES KILLED. Three Children Killed While Asleep; Mother Made Fight. Luray, Va., Jan. 3.?The bodies of Mrs. Charles E. Burner and her three children, James 5, Waalter, 4, and a baby one year old, all horribly mutilated, were found in bed at their home this morning by a neighbor who had gone there on an errand. Tho skull of each of tho victims had been crushed evidently with some blunt instrument. The children apparently had been mur dered as they slept, but the disordered , condition of the room and position of the body indicated that the mother 1 had fought desperately for her life. The whereabouts of Charles burner the father and husband, is unknown, although he is said to have been seen in Luray early this morning. He recently was released from the State | road convict force to which he was ' | sentenced for felonious assault. Mrs. 1 j Burner, who was 27 years old, was i born in Bainbridge, Cla., and was ' brought to Luray by Dr. H. M. Whar' ton, the Baltimore evangelist when he conducted an institution here.

MANY ARE NEW MEMBERS There are Two Measures for Compulsory Education.? A Progressive Program Has Been Mapped Out. The General Assembly of South Carolina will meet in Columbia on next Tuesday, January 12th, 1015. Speaking of the things likely to come up before the body for consideration, the Columbia State in a recent issue said: The forces that were responsible last summer for a change in the ad-' ministration of the State and the clec tion of Richard I. Manning as gov-1 ernor arc expecting that the general assembly when it meets on January 12, will carry out a program of legislation embracing a compulsory education law, a medical inspection of school children law, a remedial taxation law and an election law. The personnel of the State senate was greatly changed by the last election. Fourteen of the members occupy their seats for the llrst time. Nine of the senators were reelected and 21 are hold-overs from last term. Andrew J. Bethea of Columbia, lieutenant governor-elect, will preside over the senate. In the house the change in personnel has been even more marked. Of the 124 members of the house only 28 served at the last session. The election of James A. Hoyt of the Richland delegation, former clerk of the house, as speaker is conceded. Two Measures. The advocates of a law which will compel children to attend the public schools will bring strong pressure on the general assembly to have such a measure enacted. At a conference last week in Columbia leading educators canvassed the situation thoroughly They decided to support, first, a State wide compulsory school attendance law and, second, a local option compulsory school attendance law. The conference had before it a Statewide law drafted by Frank Evans, superintendent of the Spartanburg city schools, and a local option compulsory school attendance law written by J. E. Swcaringen, State superintendent of education. The Evans bill says that all of the children in the State between the ages of 8 and 14 shall attend the public schools and provides machinery for its enforcement. The Swearingen bill says that after a majority of the electors in each school district sign a petition to that of fee. then all of the children between tlu ages of 8 and 14 years living in the district shall be required to attend school. The Swearingen bill also provides regulations for its enforcement People interested in raising the ag' limit under which children can work in this State, who met with the com puisory education conferees, decided to make their bill conform to the com puisory school attendance measure ir regard to the age limit. Should oithei the Swearingcn or the Evans liil become a law, then the general assembly will be asked to raise the child labor age limit from 12 to 14 years. During the past four years the general assembly has twice enacted r compulsory school attendance bill, with the local option feature given great prominence. The measures have never become law because they lacked the necessary two-thirds majority to pass over the governor's veto. The cause of compulsory education has made tremendous gain in South Caro Una, the last few months. In the campaign for governor it was one of the chief issues. In the race for many county offices it held stage centre. Medical Inspection. Educators and physicians alikn recognize the importance of passing a law which will provide for the medical inspection of children in public schools with a view to preventing the spread of communicable diseases and detecting defects of vision, hearing or sight which keep children from taking the fullest advantage of their oppor-1 tunities in school. The general assembly passed a medical inspection law three years ago, which died under the veto. As far as is known there is now no definite^ programme for changes in the laws governing taxation. The governor-elect, though, ran last summen on a platform in which tax reform was one of the planks. The comptroller general will renew his suggestion of a commission to draft better tax laws. It is expected that the general assembly will be asked to enact into law the rules and regulations of the Democratic party under which the primary last summer was conducted. These party regulations would be substitut9 e<! for the present law on the statute books governing primary elections. Many other questions of prime im-^H portunce will come before the general^H assembly that meets on January 12.^H One of these will be whether the peo-1 H pie of the State shall vote next sum - I I mcr on the question of Statewide pro-^H hibition. Proponents of prohibition are conducting an active campaign in favor of the proposed rofundum. ARREST WRONG PARTY. I (?i?t Brother of Negro Wal c! in Kins I ton for Murd. * I Kinston. N.
