COW TESTING IN CHEROKEE NEARLY DONE Dr. Sullivan Hopes to Complete Task During Xext Two Weeks Or. K. L. Sullivan, vcternarian of the I . S. Department ??f Agrieul ture. who has been in the count > for the pasi several months completing the tuberculer tests of cattle in co operation with the State Department of Agriculture, which started last fall, requests those in the countv who have not had their cattle tested' for tuberculosis to see the coimt\ | agent or write Dr. Sullivan at \lur- ; pliv at mir.

Dr. Sullivan staled that when the work in Cherokee was finished it ^ would complete the last county in western North Carolina, and that it should become the duty of every farmer and cattle owner to see that no untested animals were brought into the county. To bring an un tested animal into the countv i* in violation of lite stale law. and to bring an untested animal into North Carolina was in violation of the fed eral law punishable bv fine and im prisonment. Dr. Sullivan slated he hoped the citizens of the county would do everything in their power to keep untested animals out of the countv. and unless they did. the work that had been done here would have been done in vain. TWO IN JAIL CHARGED WITH I ROBBING STORE Man anil If oman If ho Cave Their frames as Smiths Refuse to Give Officers Much Information A couple who pave their names as Mr. and Mrs. Walter Smith, from I where the\ don't know , were taken into custody by officers Sunday af ternoon in the woods north of Malt by, and lodged in jail charged with breaking into and robbing the store ! of N. W. Abernathy at Marble Sun day morning about 3 o'clock. The couple refuse to talk, but by | the car and tag numbers, packages in the car, the officers are piecing together a rather formidable string of evidence, by which they hope to prove that they are members of a band of wholesale robbers. Surprised By Officers Sunday morning between two and three o'clock. Deputies John Lance and Oscar Cole were returning from a watch for a liquor car said to have been scheduled to pass through the Peachtree section through Marble, and as they approached the forks of the Peachtree road and No. 10. at Marble, they noticed a car standing in front of the store and the door open. Their suspicions were arous ed and on investigation they found that the store was being rubbed. However before the officers could make an arrest, , two men fled from the scene, leaving the car, a Nash Se dan. loaded with loot behind.

TENT MEETING TO BE CONDUCTED AT OGDEN ON 10 I want to take this means of speak ing a few words to the readers of The Cherokee Scout. We feel that we are very fortunate in securing the services of three talented young men who will give their time during the summer months to evangelistic work in Cherokee County. These young men are students of Asbury College, \\ i I more. kv.. and are sent out by the Methodist Kxengelistic League of Louisville. K\. They are bringing with them a tent ami it is their purpose to use this lent to hold sex era I meetings near the town of Murphy. The first meeting will be held at Ogden on the highway that leads from Murphy to Hayes xille and will begin about Sunday. June 10th. This meeting will last for about two or three weeks, and then it is planned to move the tent to another location for another meeting. I want to say to the people of! Cherokee County that the personnel , of this trio of workers is one of I the best that could be secured. The 1 preaching will be done by Rev. Karl j V Dorff, of Cleveland. Ohio. He is a young man of sterling charac ter, and a preacher of ability. Last summer he served as assistant pas tor of the Methodist church of An drews, and won for himself a host of friends. The people of the town were pleased with his work among the young people, and it is conceded by all who heard him that he is a pleasing speaker, and one who is in earnest about the work of the Mas ter. We heartily recommend him and those who come with him to the people with whom he shall work, and hope that you will give these young men your hearty support. We feel that this is a great opportunity that comes to you and feel that ail Christian people will be glad to fall in line with this work for the up building of the Kingdom of our Master.

I In 1896, Colonel Anderson com pleted his law course under the well-known law instructor, Judge Avery, at Morganton, N. C.. and came back to his home town and established a law office where he has engaged in the practice of law ever since, being at the time of his death the senior member of the law firm of Anderson and Gray, which is regarded as one of the strongest law firms in the western part of the State. In 1897 he was married to Miss Fdna J. Davidson, of Atlanta, Ga. No children were born to this union. Mr. Anderson has held many po sitions of honor and trust, for the people reposed much confidence in him and trusted his great ability and rugged honesty. The people of Clay County elected him to the Gen eral Assembly in 1903, and he rep resented the 39th Senatorial district in the Senate in 1911. No member to the Legislature of North Carolina ever sat in the halls of the State House who more faithfully and zealously .safeguarded the interest of his people. He was a Republican in political faith, and in 1908 was chosen by his party as a Presiden tial elector from the Tenth Congres sional district. Mr. Anderson's general health was normal, and his sudden passing was a severe shock to all the people in this section. He had a partial stroke about 10 years ago, but it (Continued on pare 4)
