AFOUL OF QUARANTINE LAV/8.
Shipment of Cattle was Held up by
the State Officials.
Clemson College, Oct .15.-Spe
cial: The r?gulations governing the
transportation or cattle within this
State have been forcibly brought to
the attention of a certain citizen In
Oconee county during the past few
days. This man, who deals In cattle
and should, therefore, be acquainted
with the state regulations, attempted
to ship a car load of cattle from
Charleson to Walhalla. This was In
direct violation of State regulation
adopted for preventing the spread of
fever ticks, and as a result these cat
tle were stopped by the State In
spector just as they wer? on the
point of entering Anderson county.
These cattle will have to return to
counties below the State quarantine
line, and will probably be disposed
of at considerable loss to the owner.
This ls only one example of the
Indifference and carelessness shown
hy many prominent citizens of Oco
nee county. More Indifference and
lack of Interest In the extension of
this work has been shown hy citi
zens of Oconee county than in nny
of the other twelve counties In which
we are now working. Many of these
people look upon the work as a po
litical graft of some kind, while oth
ers think lt utter foolishness. The
fact remains, however, that unless
the cattle ticks are eradicated from
South Carolina, we must continue to
suffer an annual loss of many thou
sands of dollars, which can he easily
prevented.
Other States have been at this
work for several years, and tho
neighboring State of North Carolina
has already eradicated the fever
tick from over one-half of the coun
ties 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 county will, there
fore, soon he free. Oconee county.
While it ls less Infested than almost
any of the other counties, will be one
of the last to free Its Infested premi
ses unless tho citizens give us their
support. The actual work of freeing
the promises is very small, and If cat
tle owners will follow Instructions
given hy this office and by the In
spectors now lu the field, they will
have no trouble lu freeing their
premises.
For the benefit of persons desiring
to move cattle Into Oconeo county,
the following Instructions are given:
Cattle can enter Oconee county from
any county of North Carolina north
of Oconee, and from Kuluin. Union
and Townes countlts, of Georgia,
without restrictions.
Cattle from Kunnin, Murray, Gil
more, White, Ifaborsham, Stevens
and Hall counties can enter Oconeo
county after permission has boen re
ceived from this office, and the cattle
have boen Inspected by a Federal In
spector.
The only counties in South Caro
lina from which cattle can be moved
into Oconee county aro Anderson,
PIckens and Greenville.
if cattle are moved In violation
of these regulations, this will be di
rect violation of Federal as well as
State regulations, and will bo
promptly prosecuted by Federal and
State authorities.
Shipments of cattle have been
stopped at Tooooa. Qa., by Federal
inspectors and the railroad agents
and owners of ferries should pay spo
Clal attention to these regulations, as
they are liable for all cattle which
they accept in violation of these reg
ulations. M. Kay Powers,
State Veterinarian.

Greensboro, N. C., Oct. 14.-One

In speaking of good roads, Mr.
Richards said that if thc 580 coun
ties south of the Potomac and east
of the Mississippi would each spend
$500,000 in road improvement the
value of land in those counties would
thereby be increased 100 per cent.
The peace congress will adjourn
to-morrow.
At the afternoon session of the
peace congress a motion to apply for
membership for the North Carolina
Peace Society in the National Practi

son Hobson to remark that several
States in the West where he had re
cently been are awaiting the action
of the North Carolina Society before
Joining the league. He stated fur
ther that the Practical League was
organized to carry into a national or
ganization the idea of the North Ca
rolina Society. Hecause of a differ

The NV. M. U.jpf the Beaverdam

sion at New Westminster Baptist
church on September 8th and 9th,
1908, with Mrs. W. J. Strlbling, Su
perintendent; Mrs. U. A. Perrltt,
President; Mrs. W. J. Lunney, Sec
retary and Treasurer.
The reported membership of the
Union ls as follows: W. M. societies,

. The following contributions were
reported:

Walhalla was chosen as the next

We hope every church within the
bounds of the Beaverdam Association
will have an active Woman's Mis
sionary Union as early as possible
and be represented by four delegates
each at our next annual meeting.
Our Executive Committee ls con
sidering the plan of grouping the
churches into sections, or districts,
and having an assistant superintend
ent for each section, whose duty will
be to help orgnalze and aid in get
ting one, two or three organizations
in every church. We must not neg
lect the young women, boys and girls.
Our best material is the young peo
ple, who by their early training will
make far more efficient workers than
we.
We hope we have the apporval and
co-operation of all our pastors in this
great work. This is essential to suc
cess.
lt is a matter of deep regret that
so few of our people take their de
nominational papers. How can we

not read the Baptist Courier and

(Sumter Herald.)
If you have two dollars and you
need a dollar's worth of food and a
dollar's worth of cloth, you will buy
both the food and the cloth, but If
you need a dollar's worth of food
and a dollar's worth of cloth and
have but one dollar you will buy
the food, and let the cloth go over
till another time. The whole world
ls economizing, and is buying the
food, hut is cutting down on the
cloth. Therefore, food products,
which wo of the South do not raise,
but buy, are advancing in price. If
we made less of the cotton and more
of the food, we would be that much
better off.

There ls a great deal more profit
in raising dollar corn than there ls In
raising 8 cents cctton. Cotton would
have to be worth about 15 cents to
?equal dollar corn. Then corn has
another tremendous advantage. As
every man who has tried lt knows,
the longer one holds cotton the heav.
1er lt gets, and there ls nothing else
for lt but to hold or sell at whatever
price may be offered. But corn does
not have to be sold. No matter what
the market price, the producer can
generally dispose of it in various
ways at still greater profit to himself.

Government Want? Farmers.
Washington, Oct. 17.-Editor Keo
vee Courier: The government wants
3,000 practical farmers who would
Uko to own homes of their own. It
has nearly 200,000 acres of land ly
ing under the various Irrigation pro
jects throughout the West, for which
water will be available next season.
Tho farm milton these projects varies
in most cases from 40 to 80 acres of
Irrigable land, depending upon loca
tion. In many sections a tract of
grazin gland has been Included In
the farm unit wherever practicable,
bringing the total up to 160 acres.
The only charge for these farms,
besides the regular land office fee for
filing, is the notual cost of getting
water to them, and payment may he
made In ten annual Installments,
without interest.
These Irrigation projects are scat
tered over the entire arid region,
from Canada to the Mexican line. In
consequence, every vlrrlety of crop
grown In the temperate /one can he
raised under them. If you would
