Ray Towers, State Veterinarian. Clemson College. Sept. 24.-Edi tor Keowee Courier: Tills disease has existed In South Carolina for Keven? 1 years, and even now cnuses the annaul loss of more cattle than all other cattle diseases. As far back ns the oldest Inhabitants can re member, lt was known that cattle from Northern States succumbed to the disease when brought South. The cause was then unknown, hut the deaths were attributed to change of climate and food. It has since been shown, however, that these factors had absolutely nothing to do with the outbreaks, which were caused by fie "fever tick." After this dlscovc: the disease was called "tick fever" and is now known by that name. To persons who can remember when every cow carried large num bers of ticks, and yet seemed In per fect health, this assortlon seems false, but the seeming contradiction can easily be explained. Before the stock law was passed, cattle ran at large, and practically every animal was in fested with ticks. As a result, the young calves were ; lfested and suf fered very mild attacks of tick fever, which rendered them immune for life. CaUos and young cattle under eighteen months of age seldom suc cumb to Hie disease-in fact, the at tacks are usually overlooked, owing to their mildness. This is also true of Northern calves, and if they are imported before they reach the age of eighteen months, they usually sur vive. Since the passage of the stock law most of our plantations have become free from ticks, and the cattle raised thereon (never having been exposed lo the fever tick) are as susceptible as Northern cattle. A typical example of this was seen al Anderson In 100(5, when over forty head of cattle died as a direct result of the Import?t ian of one ticky cow from Georgia. This condition of premises in our State accounts for the severe annual loss due to the fever I lek. and shows the importance and necessity of eradicating the pest from our State.

Taking the tank from its fastenings, Moore sprang overboard with it, and both he and the tank disappeared beneath tho water. An instant later there was e a ex plosion. Water shot high in the air, and those in the boat thought Moore had sa,crified his life to save theirs, but he had let go the tank au Instant before the explosion and was only slightly stunned.

Against Ravages of Fire. Washington, Sept. 2 2.-In many parts of the country the most pro gressive men of the lumber industry have felt the greatest necessity of j adopting better methods of protecting their timber holdings from lire, but in some places there still remains much to be done. This ls particu larly true through a part of the groat yellow pine belt of the South upon which the naval stores Industry of the world is largely dependent. A timber owner of Florida, In writing io the forest service at Washington, talks of the matter as follows: "Speaking of lire protection: There is absolutely nothing being done. The turpentine people, to protect their turpentine timber, rake around the trees during the early winter, and then burn the woods. This ls done to keep off the forest fires of early spring. These fires are supposed to be set by the cattle Interests for the purpose of burning off the dry grass i so that the young grass will come up, on which the cattle feed. In doing this, they destroy millions of young I pines that, have just started to grow and are too small and tender to stand j the heat of the fire. "if these fires could be stopped lt would solve the problem of reforest ing, as far as Florida ls concerned. I have thought for a long time that a no fence law would go far toward stopping the burning of the woods. As lt ls now, there is no regulation. "What I mean to say is that if you own a small piece of land, say forty acres, and had 10,0'M) head of cattle you are at liberty " graze your cat tle on my 10,000 acres of land, or on my neighbor's 20,000 acres of land and we cannot help ourselves. If we would catch you firing the woods and had a witness to prove lt, we could prosecute you, but this ls hard to do. If we had a no fence law, you, as a cattle owner, would he compelled to keep your cattle In an enclosure which removes the temptation of burning th? woods of your neigh bors, besides i.etng of infinite benefit to poor people In starting little fram In many instances the fencing of the land ls by all odds the largest Item of expense in stalling a small farm, and often puts it beyond the reach of poor men who might otherwise make a little start toward farming. "The burning of the grass not only kills millions ot' small pine trees, but it impoverishes the soil and exposes the ground to heat of the sun, thereby retarding the growth of not only small pine trees, but the large ones as well. The thing that is necessary to make the trees healthy and grow larger from year to year ls to leave the grass and leaves on the ground. "What I have mentioned, and the many destructive methods being practiced in the cutting of timber In the forest and in the manufacturing of it, ls costing the South millions of dollars, of which she ls laking no ac count, and the present low prices of lumber and naval stores will add to tlic destruction for the reason that many of the owners of timber and turpentine leases will not have money to pay the expense of raking the pines. Our naval stores and lumber are being sent all over the world, and in the majority of cases we are not making expenses out of our commod ity, with a total loss of our ttmJer, which ls really valuable enough to bring a good, liberal stumpage. V, are selling our turpentine at 35 a..d 36 cents per gallon, and lt will cost $1 per gallon to reproduce the forest from which lt i? being taken. The same thing will apply to rosin. We are giving the world our crop of lum ber at an average of about $15 per thousand feet that will cost us from $40 to $.r>0 per thousand feed to re produce." faut tu The Ktndjfou Have Always BoogJI Big natur? If GOVERNOR ACTS PROMPTLY. Wires Greenville Sheriff to Ilrlng "Night Kider**" to Justice. (News and Courier Special.) Governor Ansel has taken prompt and vigorous action in regard to the alleged "night riders" in Greenville county and has instructed Sheriff Gil reath to make an Investigation and suppress any abuse of the kind what ever. Ho wrote the sheriff to-day to look Into.the matter at once, and, if possible, to ascertain who the parties guilty of posting the threatening no tice o.i the gin of R. C. Wlllimon, elgth miles from Greenville, a. , and see that they are prosecuted aud brought to Justice. "It this report be true," says tho Governor In his lettei to Sheriff Gll reath, *It Is a species of lawlessness which must be handled at once and the perpetrators of lt be taught a lesson that this is a country of law and order, and that every one must bc protected In his property as weil, as his person from the lawless. Give this matter your immediate atten tion." The incident in Greenville may not Le a serious affair, and many believe that it ls not serious, but the similar occurrences In other States have been too serious to be Imitated even in a humorous way, and Governor Ansel will not stand for anything of the sort. It's a pity when sick ones drug the stomach or stimulate tho heart and kidneys. That is all wrong! A weak stomach means weak stomach nerves, always. And this ls also true of the heart and kidneys. The weak nerves are Instead crying out for help. This explains why Dr. Shoop's Restorative is promptly helping stu mach, heart and kidney ailments. The Restorative reaches out for the actual cause of these ailments-the failing "inside nerves." Anyway test tho Restorative 4 8 hours. It won't cure so soon as that, but you will surelv know that help ls coming. Sold by J. W. Bell. - Some Editorial Pointerai Night riders and boll weevils have attacked the cotton crop.-Elberton Star.
