SATURDAY, NOVEMBER ZL. NEWS OF NEARBY TOWNS FOUR YEAR RULING IS m EFFECTIVE ONLY IN 1917 I • ¥ Lincolnton, Ga.—An impression seems to have gained general curren cy about the state that the constitu tional amendment making county of ficers elective for four years becomes operative at once and that the offic ials just elected will get the benefit of it. Such is not the case, however. The amendment provides specifically that it shall not become effective until af ter January 1, 1917. Therefore officials elected recently will serve only two years and com missions are being so issued to them. Those elected in 1916 will take office January 1, 1917, and serve four years THOMSON MAN ACCIDENTALLY SHOT BY FRIEND IN PARTY Thorhson, Ga.—While out hunting with a party of friends Tuesday after noon, Mr. Oscar Montgomery was ac cidently shot by Mr. George Russell.

He was facing Mr. Russell at the time, though hid from view by some weeds and 3mall shrubbery', which also accounts for him not being hit by more of the shot. All the shot that took effect sank deep in the flesh and Dr. Gibson who dressed the wounds did not think it necessary to probe for them. The shooting was purely an Occident. Mr. Montgomery has suf | frred no pain or discomforture beyond Fa little soreness.

"I might have been caught, and I didn’t wans to take any chances,” ex plained the youth.

HITHERTO the United States has been so free from toot and mouth disease that com paratively few farmers are familiar with the symptoms and ap preciate the serlousuess of the presell! outbreak, which has led to the quaran tine by the United States government of large areas. In tile Uuited States the disease has appeared only ou live previous occasions—namely, 1870, 1880. 1884, 1002-3 aud 1008. Of these tile last twi* years were much the most se rlous, aud the outbreak In 11)08 cost tile United States department of agricul tore $290,112.10 to stamp it out, with out taking iuto consideration the time regular employees of the department THE FEET OF A STRICKEN COW, SHOWING CHARACTERISTIC LESIONS. took from their ordinary duties to figt: l the pestilence. Moreover the lows t< stock raisers was very great, and manj dairymen were actually put out oi business. The present outbreak seem.- to be fully equal to that of 1908 both In virulence and in extent of the terri tory affected. It behooves every uue therefore, to assist to his utmost the federal authorities in their campaign of extermination. The chief weapons employed in this campaign are first, a rigid quarantine of all suspected stock, and second, the immediate slaughter of all Infected and exposed animals. As a matter ol fact, the disease is so contagious thal If one animal in a herd is infected there is practically no possibility ol keeping the others from becoming <ll* eased. To attempt to do so would be merely to multiply many times the danger of spreading the pestilence The entire herd is therefore slaugh tered at once. This may seem to some an unnecessary and extravagant meth od of procedure. That it is not so. however, is fully borne out by Ameri can experience in past outbreaks and by experience in foreign countries where the disease has been permitted to gain a firmer foothold than it has ever done in this country. In 1908, on the occasion of the Inst outbreak, ap pralsers were appointed to determine the value of tlie condemned herds, and the owners were then reimbursed to the extent of the appraised value of their stock.

This precaution is most necessary, and it Is in fact highly important that persons who are not equipped in this way should not venture near suspected stock, but If they are compelled to do so they should rigorously abstain there after from visiting healthy animals. Many instances are ou record where the curiosity of farmers In regard to the new disense has resulted tu the wide dissemination of it A man is led to Inspect a sick steer or hog and carries the infection upon bis return home to his own herd. Foot and mouth disease Is defined as “an ucute and highly contagious fever of a specific liature, characterized by the eruption of the vesicle* of the mouth, around the coronets of th# feet nud between the toes." It affects priu clpally cattle, bogs, sheep and goats, but there are a large number of other animals almost as susceptible, such as the bufTak), camel, deer, giraffe and other species that in this country are generally confined to zoological gar dens. Horses are sometimes, though rarely. Infected; and dogs, cats and chickens frequently assist in spreading tlie disease, tltough they are not su often themselves the victims. Man himself may suffer from it, but except among children it is rarely serious to human beings. The germ of the foot and mouth disease is an organism so small that it cannot even be detected by the microscope. It muy be spread In one or a dozen ways—carried on the cloth ing. In hay, straw, fodder, conveyed by direct contact or picked up from ground over which diseased animals have passed. After the animal has he come Infected it takes from three to six days for the disease to manifest It Atfv&r * - 1 EXPOSED CATTLE SLAtTOIITBKEU AND BEADY FOR BURIAL. ■elf. Its first indications are a chill, which is quickly followed by a fever, tho temperature sometimes rising as high as 100 degrees K. Id a dny or two small vesicles about the size of hemp seed or ifeas appear about the mucous membranes of the mouth, on the upper surface of the tongue, the in side of the cheeks, on the gums and the inner surface of the lips. These vesicles contain a yellow watery fluid and spread rapidly. Soon after they first apis-ar In the mouth tbo feet be come red, swollen and tender. This is followed by an eruption Hitnliur to those in the mouth. In tbe case of milk cows the same eruptions appeur upon the adder and the tents. Eating is now so pahiful to the ant mill that all food is frequently refused The mouth is opened and shut with a Characteristic smacking sound orxl there Is considerable slabbering, a rop lgh saliva banging from the lips. The feet become so gore that the animal persists In lying down and thus causes bad sores to develop with astonishing rapidity. If a disease which creates such havoc Is to be stamped out It is obviously necessary that stock owners co-operate In every way with the authorities. The chief dangers in these outbreaks Is that sources of Infection may be con ceaiod through ignorance or selfish ness. This Is equally disastrous to the guilty persons and to their neighbors Invariably tbe disease Is spread and tbe owner himself Is deprived of the revenue from the herd for a long time even If Ills animals do not actually die On the other hand, the eftleaey of a rigid quarantine nnd Immediate slaughtering has already been demon st rated.
