BROWN A CARPENTER, EIlITOnn AND rUlll.lKHRKA. I,. V. WINTER. Contrlbutinir E-litor. FIGHTING HOG CHOLERA. Dr. A. L. Hirleman was in Nownsn afew days this week, anti, with Mr. J. H. Blackwell, county demonstration agent, was investigating the hog chol era aituation in thin county. Mr. Blackwell has been kept quite busy recently treating hogs with pre ventive serum, as many of our farmers know. Dr. Hirleman is employed by the U. S. Bureau of Animal Industry, and is working in co-operation with the State College of Agriculture, with headquar ters at Athens. According to these gentlemen the cholera was in all probability brought to this community with a recent ship ment of hogs from Tennessee. “All hogs brought from outside should bo shipped in clean and disinfected cars, loaded from and into clean and disinfect ed pens and loading chutes, and should then be kept quarantined or separated from the hogs already on the farm for three to four weeks,” said Ur. Hirlc- man. “It is always advisable to buy hogs that have been given the preven tive serum treatment prior to tship- mont. ” In a talk to the farmers at the courthouse Wednesday night Ur. Hirle- man emphasized these points: That much can be done in the fight against hog cholera by good care, good feed, good housing, and sanitary surround ings: that the serum alone, rr single treatment, will only give temporary pro tection from .Til to 90 days, and on this account it should not be used until chol era is in the herd or in the immediate vicinity, as the serum i« too expensive to justify its use every few weeks in order to keep cholera out of the herd. Other means, such as those mentioned above—good care, feed, housing and sanitation - being cheaper, and thus keeping the serum us a last resort. If, after using these precautions, cholera gels into the herd, use serum, and use it immediately. If used as soon as the first symptoms appear 95 per cent, of the herd can be saved. If the d'senas is allowed to run several days before using the serum the loss will be much heavier." Remember, there is no cure for hog cholera. The serum is not a cure, but a preventive. It is, therefore, plain to all that to expect good results from se rum it must be used at the very begin ning of the disease. Inorder to do this every hog raiser should ucquaint him self with the method of administering serum and treat his own hogs when necessary, thus avoiding delay at a time when delay means dollars and cents to the hog owner. Dr. Hirleman and Demonstration Agent Blackwell visited Welcome Tues day night and spoke to about 250 people ahmg the lines of hog cholera prevention and farm demonstration work. They also inspected six herds of hogs and treated about 125 with the serum. "The Herald cannot stress too strong ly the importance of acting quickly when this disease appears," Mr. Blackwell says, “and I will gladly co-operate with the farmers of the county in helping to stamp it out." HOW HOES HE EXPLAIN IT! Last year, when Hon. Thus. W. Hard wick was making his canvass for the Senate, he urged as one of the reasons why he should be elected the fHCt or what he alleged to be a fact—that he was in full sympathy and touch with President Wilson. Recent events in the Senate are not easily reconciled with this claim. When the Republicans combined against the passage of the ship purchase bill and defeated thot measure by a filibuster which went beyond the record of all previous performances, Mr. Hardwick alligned himself with them and helped with ull his might to prevent the pas sage of the bill; and yet it was ceitatn- iy an Administration measure. It thus appears that the very first time the junior Senator from Georgia had an opportunity tosupport the policy of the President, he opposed and helped to defeat a bill that a majority of his constituents favored, and which Presi dent Wilson was exceedingly anxious to see pissed, D is up to Mr. Hardwick to explain the difference between his ante and post election attitude towards the Ad ministration. Of course, he has an ex planation; he is too good a politician not to have one. But whether that explana tion will satisfy the people of Georgia is another matter. Men's political memories are not al ways as short as candidates think they are. That Germany means to do all she can to cripple the power and commerce of England and the allies is self-evident. That she will sink some of the enemies' ships is beyond doubt. But that she can seriously injure the shipping of Great Britain is another and very dif ferent matter. With the folly that haB characterized her course since the be ginning of the great war, and before, she may succeed in embittering and even embroiling one or more of the neu tral nations—especially the United States—is more than a possibility That she will succeed in sinking any considerable number of vessels flying the flag of her foes is not hardly prob able. The English are much disposed to regard the whole effort in the light of a bluff, and they have some reason to think this way. Dallas New Era: “The life of an editor was saved recently by a silver dollar in his pocket. A crank shot at hi m and the ball struck the dollar. Now, should we happen to get shot before you pay your subscription and there is no dollar to stop the ball, we shall al ways presume you might have saved our life.” M'COLLUM.

A >ear and a half ago I was taken with a severe attack of kidney trouble that pained me to such an extent that morphine had to be given me. Was at- tot ded by a doctor who pronounced it as stone in the bladder and prescribed 1 .ithin Water. 1 took Lithia Water and Tablets for some time and received no relief from them. 1 stopped taking medicines for some time. Later, hav ing some Swamp-Rool in the house, 1 decided to try it, and felt much re lieved. While taking the second bottle 1 commenced to pass gravel in urine until 1 had passed at least half a dozen or more, and have not suffered the slightest since and have in all taken one bottle and a half and feel very grateful to Swamp-Root. Yours very truly. H. W. SPINKS, tamp Hill, Ala.
