IMPORTANT TO STOCK OWNERS.
Act Probibiting Importation of Diseased
|ML Lire Stock ioto tbe State.
V -ifiditor County Record:?
Enclosed herewith >ou will find
copy of an act recently passed by the
General Assembly of South Carolina
which is of great importance tc
j^stock breeders of this and othei
rotates.
This act prohibits the importatior
of diseased live stock into the State
of South Carolina. Snch a law be
came necessary owing to the passag*
of similar laws by other States anc
unless t^iis protection had been af
forded, this State would soon becomi
a dumping ground for diseased stocl
from other States.
Briefly summarized the act is ai
4 follows: "All shipments of livestock
except those for immediate slaugh
er, must be accompanied by certifi
cate of health showing that the animals
are free from contagious or in.
fectious diseases. This certificate cat
be ifeued by the State veteriuariai
- 1.?: ;? 4.L,
or assistant outtc >etcMumipu ui iu<
State from which shipment is made
or by a veterinarian in the employ o:
the U S bureau of animal industr
or by any competent veterinariai
authorized by the State veterinariai
of South Carolina. All health certifi
catea must be in duplicate (these cer
tificates will be furnished qualifie<
veterinarians and transportation con:
panies at actual cost) the original o
which must be forwarded to the S'at
.veterinarian of Sonth Carolina an<
the duplicate must be attached to bil
of lading for said animals."
^ All cattle over six months of age
V except those for immediate slaugh
^^ter, must be tested with, the tubercu
^Blin and must be free of tnberculosi
th<?v are hrouch in this State
?j n
JKTemperature reports of the test or i
MPcertifie'd copy of same must accom
^Bpany the health certificate. The tu
j^Bberculin test must be made withii
30 days preceding shipmeat.
The penalty for violation of thi
act is a fine of not less than $50<
and not more than $1,000 or impris
onment for not more than one year
This act* also allows indemnity fo
tuberculosis and glandered animal
destroyed by the State authorities
Previous to the passage of this ac
no indemnity has been allowed. Thi
act will undoubtedly prove of grea
value to stock owners iu this Stab
and to facilitate shipments of liv
* ^ ^ il LI!
stock into Soutn Carolina, tne puou
cation of this act in your pape
wonld be highly appreciated. An
further inquiries regarding this lai
will^be promptly answered.
Respectfully yours,

OPPOSES COMPULSORY EDUCATION.
State Supt. Swearingen Reiterates For
mer Statement to Tbat Effect.
State Superintendent of Education
Swearingen has returned from the
Atlanta meeting of the conference
for education in the South much
pleased with his experience at that
gathering.
"Did anything you saw or heard
cause any change of heart in your at(titude
against compulsory education
so far as this State is concerned?'' he
i was asked.
"Not ia the slightest," was the
I quick response. "I have always fa'
vored any system that will mean the
spread of education, so far as that is
[concerned, but I don't believe in hypocrisy
any more in education than
; in religion, and as I see them, condi[
tions in this State do not call yet for
a general compulsory educational
\ law, as any such'law would be a
farce. 1 see no good in passing paper
laws. In this connection I was interested
while out on this trip in studying
the workings of cbmpulsory education
laws of other States. Some of
them are howling farces."'
As $as stated in the Record recently,Mr
Swearingen is an advocate
of local option in tne matter of com
Ipulsory education, that is, of a law
which would allow those communi,
ties in conditioner compulsory education'to
institute the system and
j manage it locally.?Columbia Record
