Tu. *-m~, T r > i i.nfinmnn Shinment of Cattle held ud bv State Offi cials The regulations governing the trans- | portation of cactle within this state , nave been forcibly brought to the at- fc Ktentiou of a certain citizen in Oconee t County duriug the past few days. This man who deals in cattle and , should tberfore be acquainted with the State regulations, attempted to j ship a carload of cattle from Charles- j ton, S. C. to Walhalla. This was in , direct violation of State Regulation t frxf nrovuntinor thp unrparl nf ... auupicu ivi ^ivfvufc?Uft - - t fever tick9, and as a result, these cat- t tie were stopped by State Inspector t juet as they were on the point of enter- d ing Anderson County. These cattle t will have to return to the counties be- f low the State (iuarantine Liue, and will probably be disposed of at consid- , erable loss to the owner. This is only one example of the in- t difference and carelessness shown to- e ward tick eradication works by many prominent citizens. Many of these ( persona look upon the work as political ( graft of some kind, while others think it utter foolishness. The facts remains { however, that unless the cattle ticks , are eradicated from South JCarolina, we must continue to suffer an annual ( loss of many thouoands of dollars, , which could be easily prevented ( Other states have been at this work , fr>r spvpral vears. and the neighboring , state of North Carolina hasT already ( eradicated the fever tick from over one-half of the counties of the state, , and now enjoys an unrestricted cattle traffic as well as complete freedom from Texas fever in these counties. In this state, citizens of Anderson County have given the work strong support, and this couuty will therefore soon be free. Oconee County, while it is iees infested than most any of the other counties, will be the last to free its infested premises, unless the citizens give us their support. Theactual work of freeing the premises is verv small and if cattle owners will follow } instructions given by this office and by the Inspectors now in the field, theywill have no trouble in freeing their premises* For the benefit of persons desiring to move cattle into Oconee, Pickens, Greenville and AnHpronn Cniintios. the following instruct ions are given : Cattle can enter these < countis lrona any county in North < Carolina north of this area and also from Rabun, Union aud Townescounties, Ga. without restriction.

I v Sbipmeute of cajtle have been stopp- 1 ed at Toccoa, Ga. by Federal inspectors i and the railroads agents and owners of ferreis should pay tptcial attention J to these regulations, as they ,are liable i for all cattle which they accept in violation of these regulations. i t McCORMICK.

Tbe sputum soon dries and mingles with the dust I'begerm does not die in this process, but lives in the small dust particles that we may inhale without knowing it. tThe only way by which consumption may >e contracted is by admitting tbe consumption lug into tbe lungs.

J Pea Vines or Cotton? Our friend of the Anderson Mall persists In believing that there 1b more profit In a 815 load of peavine bay tban there Is a 330 load }f cotton. With our friend's permission this " editor would give bis reason for not favoring the peavine theory. Some years ago, more than five, this editor owned a farm down on Norris creek, and thinking to show the neighboring farmers bow they were neglecting their opportunities tie proposed to experiment on pea vine hay. We had heard or read of miraculous stories about the wonderful results to be obtained rom a variety of pea which was called the Unknown Pea." The variety being new in ibis section the seed was hard to get. After T buying all the seed that was in sight, our good friend Kellar, he of the Prohibition lame, consented to let have a small quantity? a crocus sack full or such a matter to make out the desired amount. T Moses Tate, a good colored man, was tenant it that time, and he very kindly consented to plow lu the sted and gather the crop in the fall. The pea vines oime up nicely, and grew off In a hurry. The ground was soon T severed so luxuriously asto make the mouth >t an ox or a lien mule run with water. On one visit to the farm, and after looking at the crop. 1 told Moses to make arrangeuents tocut or mow it next week, when I would come down. Going down to the farm iext week, ana on going to the pea vine 1 lotloed that the ground looked bare, and laid to M 086P.' "I see you bave already gathered the pea ( floe hay." * Moses was dumb. We walked on, and all ? >f a sudden I noflced that the leaves had falen off, and nothing rtmalned but stems. It vas an off year for peas In the pod, and I saw lot exceeding a dczen pods of peas. About this crop there was one consolation M : Incurred no expense In raising or gathering W( t. A.

Editor Aull said of bla visit to Abbeville: On a recent visit to Abbeville we had the pleasure of meeting the two veteran editors of that city?Gen. E. B. Hemphill, of tbe Medium and Mr. Hugh Wilson, of the Press and Banner. These two gentlemen were editing tbe same papers when tbe editor of Tbe Herald and News went to Abbeville to teach sebool In tbe fall of 1880, just twenty-elgbt years ago. They are still young and vigorous and active. Gen. Hemphill Is recovering irom a recent spell of sickness but Is regaining bis strength very rapidly and la looking well and la feeling well. In fact be baa cbanged very little In appearance alnce we first met him. Hr. Hugh Wilson grows younger aa the years romeon and we can see no difference in bla personal appearance or in bla activity. May both these veterana live many years yet to oome and continue in thoaetlve service of their conntry. Both bave promised to visit Newberry daring A. R. P. Synod. Death of James Lewis Townsend.

James waa sick but a few days, and almost from tbe first tbe family and friends were apprehensive. James' was a short life, but long enough to become entwined around the hearts of tbe fond parents; "Not now, but In tbe coming years, It may be in a better land: We'll read tbe meaning of our tears, And then, ah. then, we'll understand," Tbe parents have tbe sincere sympathy of many friends in tbe loss of their first and only child, D.
