Profitable Results from
Serum in Hog Chol
era
Athens, Ga., Sept.. 25.—Dr.
William M. Burson, professor of
veterinary science of the Georgia
State Collcge of Agriculture, who
has been investigating the out
breaks of hog cholera in various
places in Georgia, says that many
herds have been entirely wiped
out by the disease wuich could
have been saved by the use of hog
cholera serum. Wherever the ser
um has been applied, even after a
herd had been infected by the di
sease, the results have been re
markably successful. Hundreds
of thousands of dollars have been
lost to the state this year for the
lack of thissimple and inexpensive
treatment, Dr, Burson firmly be
iieves,
The veterinary department of
the college of Agriculture 1s mak
ing the serum and furnishing it to
the farmers of Georgia at actual
cost of its production. A herd of
pigs furnished the blood that
forms the serum. This blood,
which is infected with cholera,
gives, when injected in a healthy
Ig, a touch of cholera that makesd
him an ‘‘immune.”
To aid the Georgia farmer, the
State College of Agriculture not
only furnishes the serum at cost
but will send along a syringe for
making the byperdermic injection
with complete instructions about
how to use the syringe, how much
serum to apply, etc.
A dose of inoculation will cost
the farmer about 50 cents per hun
dred weignt of hog by reason of
the college rendering a free ser
vice and furnishing materials at
cost,
Dr. Burson says that the best
results have been obtained when
the serum has been used as a pre
ventive rather than as a curative.
He therefore advises the farmer
not to wait for the appearance of
the disease before using the serum.
Fewer Students
Enter Ministry
Washington, D. C., Sept. 25.
Investigations recently made by
the United States Bureau of Ed
ucation show that every year the
big colleges of the country are
turning out fewer men for the
ministry in spite of the fact that
the original purpose of these in
stitutions was apparently to pre
pare students for the calling.
The decline in the numbers go
ing into the ministry bas bzen
accompanied by a rise in the pro
fessions of teaching law and
business.. All three have been
more or less consistent gainers at
the expense of the ministry.
When the older colleges were
established boys who expected to
be the business men of the com
munity rarely gave much thought
to ‘‘higher education.’”” That
was for the ‘‘learned profes
sions,’’ most often, in the early
days, the ministry. It is only of
recent years that men with busi
ness careers ahead of them have
taken advantage of college oppor
tunities.
Shortage in Pension
Fund
Atlanta, Sept. 26.—Because
there is no money in the treasury
to meet them, 227 of Georgia’s
21,000 pensioners have not receiv
ed their pensions for 1912 and
will not be paid until December.
Qut of this unpaid number, 98
are new pensioners, added to the
list last year. The remaining 129
were delayed because their priginal
applications had to be amended.
The white flag of reform often
shields a lot of hypocrisy, says an
exchange.

titled to a lot of credit he doesn’t
get

If You Eat You Need Digestit
The New Relief for Indigestion
1t has been stated that more
than eighty million people in the
United States are victims of some
form of indigestion. The Ameri

to eat, The result is stomach dis

and dyspepsia.
Digestit is the new relief— it
has been found a certain, aquick
and permanent remedy. Thousands
of people have found relief from
its use. Their own statements on

Joe Brown Wants
To Go to Senate
Atlanta, Sept. 28.—Governor
Joseph M., Brown will oppose
Senator Hok~ Smith in the next
race for the United States senate.
The governor’s friends know this
to be a fact and are planting their
political mines according!ly. There
has been no formal public an
nouncement, but it is known on
g ood authority that Governor
Brown has decided to run.
That Governor Brown was anx
ious to round out his political
career by being sent to the senate
has been an open secret for some
time past, but that he had actuoal
ly decided to lock borns with Hoke
Smith in the very next election
was not known with certainty un
til a few days ago, when the ac
tivity of some of his politicgl allies
let the cat out of t:e bag. They
are saying positively and apparent

is going to run, and iley are al

confirmation strengthens the evi

Here is a Fitzgerald citzen who
testified years ago that Doan’s
Kidney Pills relieved weak kidney

kidney ills ask better proof? You
can investigate. The case is right
at home.
Mrs, Nelie Smith, 611 west
Oconee Ave,, Fitzgerald, Ga.,
says: “You may continue to pub
lish my endorsemient of Doan’s
Kidpey Pills given in April 1908,
I still consider this remedy the
best one to be had for kidney com
plaint. I use it occasionally and
my kidneys are thus kept in good
working order. For years ] had
kidney complaint and I felt weak
and worn out, My back ached and
became very lame. Dark spots
oftec appeared before my eyes and
I felt dizzy and miserable. Doan’s
Kidney Pills acted quickly and
effectively, removing all the symp
toms of my trouble. I cannot give
this preparation too much praise.”

Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 25.—An
unusual life story is brought to

afternoon of Rufus M. Westbrook,
aged 102. Stolon from the Lon

a couple named Westbrook lived
in Maury county, he vis.

early Indian wars, receiving a
medal from Congress for bravery
in the Mexican conflict. In times
of peace he wasa steamboatman

the age of 94. At one time he

"Til Father is Freed
Atlanta, Sept, 25,—Because his
sweetheart, Rath May Stripling,
has made a solmn vow never to
wed until Ler father, Thomas Ed
gar Stripling, goes forth from
prison walls a free man, R. T.
Youngblood has written a long
and stirring appeal to Governor
Brown to pardon the former Dan
ville, Va,, chief of police.
Governor Brown is not in his
office this week, but is taking a
lictle vacation on his Cherokee
county farm, but Youngblood’s
letter has made a very profound
impression on his private secre
tary, Col. Jesse Perry.
Mr. Youngblood resides at Tal
lulab Lodge and his letter is a long
one, He says he is deeply in love
with Ruth May Stripling and that
he sincerely believes she cares for
him with equai affection. But she
will not become his wife, so Young
blood declares she bas vowed, un
til her father is freed.
The appeal is a strong and pa
thetic one and it is going to move
Governor Brown profoundly, for
he likes young people and this
peculiar plei is going to make a
deep impression on him,
Chief Stripling, whose remarka
ble story, his capture and the turn

are all recent and famiiiar history,
is at the prison farm and is said to
be 1n wretched health,

DeLeon $15,000 Short
Atlanta, Sept. 26.—Like the ex
plosien of a bombshell in iocal
financial circles came the announce
ment yesterday afternoon that
Moise DeLeon was short $15,000,
whep he disappeared on August
Bth,
His family and the general pub
lic, including the creditors of the
state had taken for granted that
the well knowz contractor was ab
solutely solvent and this was one
of the things that complicated the
mysteryof his disappearance.
Nobody could find a motive,
But the report of the receivers
appointed to look after the estate
shows that Mr, DeLeon owed
$60,000 in round fgures and that
his assets totalled only $45,000.
Moise DeLeon was one of the
best known of Atlanta’s vig con
tractors. His disappearance caused
a big sensation, which is being re
vived by the unexpected announce
ment of the deficit,
