N. C.. TUESDAY MORNING. FERRE ARY A 1929 EIGHT PAGES TODAY NUMBER 11 Legislative News General Interest Governor Gardner Lines Up Forces For Australian Bal lot Which May Bring Fight —Other Bills Ity M. L. SHIPMAN KALEIGII, Feb. I.—The light the secret or Australian bal lot system came .sharply to the front this week when Governor Gardner appeared before the leg islature and urged its adoption and appealed through newspapers for a support of the people in giving North Carolina an honest balloting system. Hearings also continued before the appropria tions committee of two houses of the general assembly, tin- chari table institutions of the state be ing heard this week. A bill to teach the evils of alcoholism in the public schools received fav orable house l’ftport and will In taken up this week. The bill pro viding five years involuntary sep aration to constitute grounds for divorce also was passed, it being intended to relieve those who have husbands in prison. Senator Person of Franklin county <1 liv ^ ered a tirade during the week on the anti-Smith Democrats but was halted before he e.poke very long. A bill was introduced to regu late barbers and many other meas ures were turned into the legisla tive mill. Outside of the legisla ture everything was rather quit t at the capital during the week. The Australian ballot system fight appears to have developed into a tight between Governor Gardner and certain of the old line Democratic leaders. Public sentiment is with Governor Gard ner and while the light will be hard, the governor has lined up his forces in such a manner that defeat r f the secret ballot will be a body blow to the Democratic party and will have its etteet in the next election. Senator Sim mon.' announced his support of the Gardner proposal during the ^ week. Some proponents of the measure, remembering the cam paign of 11)28. wore m t enthusi astic because of this new aid. Re publicans, remembering tin* Sim mons of old, re-examined the bib to see if there was any trick in it, for they do not believe Sim mons is giving them anything, and they do believe that the Austral ian ballot will help their party. Others saw the* Simmons move an attempt to curry favor with ele ments n^t regarded as so friendly to him since the hist election. Others saw in it that the senator sees the handwriting on the wall so far as the secret ballot U con cerned and is hopping on the band wagon so as to gain support "f the people. The appropriation- committee of the two houses is having a hard time. Practically every edu cational institution insists that the cuts of the budget bureau will hamper operations and this is true also of the hospitals and other charitable institutions. In the meantime, hearings are continuing' with no indication of what will be ^ the outcome. The committee knows, however, that, no funds can be allotted without taxes in similar amount and the people are against higher taxes. Senator Person’s tirade took the form of criticism of those who do.-crtcd the Democrat b party because it nominated A Smith. lie referred to North Car olina going Republican because <>! the preachers and long-hairot teachers who led the people as:raj from the Democratic fold.

' The situation warrants expert :n.furination and Dr. K. K. Nelms, veterinarian of this city, and Dr. C. C. Massey, county health offi cer. have made statements con cerning: the disease. Dr. Nelms discusses the disease as it af fects dogs and animals, while Dr. Massey tells how persons who have been expu.-ed may be treat la this connection, Dr. Nelms says : It is with rabies in the dug that we as veterinarians are mod interested. If the disease in this animal could be kept under con .ro! one need have little fear of It in other animals, wild or do mes t i rated. “The dug is the natural res ervoir of the disease, from which tnimal it is spread to other ani mals, and it is from the dog that man is. infected in the vast ma ic-rity of cases, although it may be transmitted to man by many 3ther animals with which he may ?omo in contact, namely, the cow, horse, hog, cat and many wild animals as all animals that use heir teeth as a meant of pro tection are susceptible to the dis “T!u method of inflection is by ;!.<• teeth and the saliva ol‘ the in fected animal.

"There are two forms of rabies i. the* dog. known as “furious” and ‘dumb’ rabies. The first sym ptoms of both forms are practi cally the same, the first being a '•barge in the disposition of the 1. «r. There is no disposition to »i:e in the early stage of the dis ease but on the other hand is a disposition to want to be fondled; i noisy dog becomes quiet and he extremely quiet dog takes to g:o\vling with no apparent cause. They become restless and extreme ly nervous, and will bite* at imag inary objects. The nervous symp toms are intensified as the disease pi (grosses until the animal will st.ivt off snapping and biting at ar.y animal or human being that may be in his. path. During his envoi )• he may become exhausted .,r may return to bis home. ' In the ‘dumb’ form the animal docs not become furious, the s.\ mpfom- being dullness and pa ralysis.
