1 had with him on the next day
after he returned from Panama
op about March 1. this year.
1 meant no reflection on Mr
Howell, but only had reference to
certain local reports in Ids paper,
and be now assures me that there
wa* no intention on his part to
discredit the work which 1 have
be e n trying to.do in this city, and
that the article that appeared in
the reportorial columns of The

knowledge and consent, and that
it was not his intention nor doc-
he approve, of anything that
would in the least hinder or dis-

.1 1,. HEAVERS.
Chief of Police.
In reference to Chief Beavers'
•.statement Mr. Howell said:
“During my absence tn Panama in
January a police raid was made ort
h certain downtown rooming hotel.
The Constitution next morning lo-
cglly reported th* affair and the fact
that a man and his wife were sub
jected to undue treatment, with com
ment from the Inadvertent victims
and tiie manager of the hotel.
“When I returned from Panama the
Chief complained of the local report
referred to. I explained to him that
nothing was further from our inten
tion than to discredit his work, and
that following The (’(institution’s oft-
repeuted commendation of his high
sense of duty in endeavoring to en
force the law. he would have our cor
dial support to that end.
“He thanked me. recalling the fact
that two days after the houses were
< losed 1 had sent for him to tell him
that his attitude would have The Con
stitution's support
• “Next moraine—September 26— The
Constitution’s leading editorial. A
Wholesome Example,* unqualifiedly
approved the Chief as ‘an official with
tiie nerve and th- courage to enforce
the law.’ stating that ‘he has set a
singularly wholesome example of a
blunt interpretation of duty.'
“I am still of the opinion that no
good citizen would invite the return
of the segregated district, nor the
spread of its attendant evil in other
directions. In my talk with the Chief
I expressed my doubt as to his ability
to absolutely eliminate the evil, and
irhllt the segregated district hat been
; closed we are still wrestling with
Mother phases of the problem.
"I think the Chief is doing the best
he can. and <Jie -hould have the sup
port of ad good citizens in his ef
forts."
The State of Georgia* is losing |
I6.000.n00 annually from tick Infesta
tion.
The lot-yes from the ravages of hog
cholera reached S1.u00.00n in 1912.
Tuberculosis in cattle is spreading
through the State with alarming ra
pidity and threatens to infect every
herd.
Slaughter house conditions are in a
deplorable state in most parts of
Georgia.
These are tin- startling facts re
vealed in tiie annual report of State
Veterinarian Peter K. Bahnsen, issued
Wednesday.
Coi the amelioration of the.*-** con
ditions Dr. Bahnsen recommends an
appropriation of $30,000. He cites th*
conservation of human health as the
absolute and pressing necessity for
the expenditure of this amount.
Losses Are Enormous.
“Our losses from tick infestation,"
reads the report, "are under present
conditions In excess of $6,000,000 an
nually. All of this enormous waste
could be stopped in a few years with
a sufficient fund to employ cattle in
spectors. and by appealing to the
counties and the Federal Government
for increased aid.
“Hog cholera cost the State not
less than $1,000.(0)0 in 1912. or ap
proximately 2<> per cent of the
