MANN WITHDRAWS FROM RACE Wyatt Aiken Now Unopposed lu tho Third Difltrk't. Columbia, Aug. 16.-Wyatt Aiken ls playing in lots of political luck. When the campaign started Julius E. Boggs and Rev. Coke D. Manu were announced as candidatos In op position. Some time ago Mr. Moggs withdrew and gt?ve no public rea sons. Now Rev. Coko n. Mann an nounces his withdrawal. He gives a curious reason. Most folks are being disgusted .with the continuous campaigning timi speaking and Mr. Mann assigns the lack of h cam paign as his chief reason for with drawing from the race. Ile has otho:- reaso s. perhaps, hut this is the chief ai.il only publicly accred ited reason. In a long card, which he has given oui. he says: "To the Democratic Vot?is of the Third Congressional District: Cen ti?me!! : Doubtless you will bo sur prised to geo that 1 have this day withdrawn from the race for Con gress in tho Third District for rea sons which I will mention. "Hirst, my COlntltut. 'lal rights have hoon denied nie ' i having no campaign for the Congressional can didates in the Third District. Why such treatment hy the county chair man of the executive committee? Th? candidates in the fifth and sixth districts have separate campaigns, There was no chance nor time to discuss issues. This I wanted to do with Mr. Aiken, and then take him up on his record while in Congres--, and then ask him to explain sonic of his votes while there, for I know sonic of the peoplo will agree with mo that they need explaining. I wanted time for a full ami free dis cussion ol' these measures, and fail ing to get these things 1 now refer you to the constitution of the Demo cratic party of South Carolina, Hage .I. Article 1 I : "'Before the election in 1008 and each election thereafter, except as herein provided, the state Democratic committee shall appoint and arrange for two campaign meetings in each county, to be held not less than two weeks apart, one of windi meetings shall he addressed only by candidates for State offices and the oilier only hy candidates for United Slates Senator, United States House of Representa tives and Circuit Solicitor; provided, that if in any election year there shall he but one candidate for the office of United States Senator or no opposition for state offices, tin" said committee may, in it - discretion, ar range or appoint only one meeting in each county. in addition to such campaign meetings the county chair men of Ibo respective Congressional districts and Judicial circuits shall, when there Is more than one candi date for ci'.lier of said offices, arrange for and appoint sepernte campaign meetings for their respective districts or Judicial circuits, the timo and the pince of such meetings to he pub lished in each county, at which only the candidates foi- said olhYes shall he Invited to address the peoplo.'" Of course this gives the nomina tion and subsequent election to Wyatt Aiken. State Chairman Wilie Jones has notified the county chairmen of the various counties of the Third Con gressional District not to have Mr. Mann's m .ne printed on the ticket, and If the tickets are already printed .not io count, any votes thai may ho cast for M r.

Tho month of August lends itself well to the eradication of cattle fever ticks where a pasture rotation plan ls used. By vacating a pasture during this month and keeping it vacant until July 1 of next year it may be freed of ticks, and if no tick infested animals aro allowed to enter after July I Hie pasture will remain free. The United States Department of .Agriculture advises farmers in the tick region to take advantage of this favorable time so far as practi cable. Pastures fruin which live stock is removed for a' sufllcienl time heroine free of ticks hy a process of starva tion, as tho ticks cannot live to ma turity If they are unable to get upon animals. The time required for all ticks to die after tho stock has been removed from infested Holds and pas tures varies considerably, depending on climate, season and weather con ditions. Experience has shown, how ever, that the period from September 1 to July I is sufficient, and this ap pears to be the most convenient time. The advantage of vacating a pas ture for the period named is two fold. Mol only is the pasture freed from ticks, hut its disuse during that lime Will probably cause less incon venience and expense than at any other season, and it will be henellted by the rest and will have a better growth of grass the following sum mer. In .some sections where pas tures are utilized throughout the winter, to vacate would probably necessitate feeding the stock, unless the farmer lg situated so thal he can keep his stock on one pasture while another pasture is kept vacant. But it ls also true that beginning with September there will be a more abundant supply of rough feed about a farm whicli can be Utilized. Au gust is a most favorable month for making a start toward freeing prem ises of ticks by (his method sug gested. The animals should of course be free of ticks when they are again turned oil thc pasture in July. Where the owner has a small number of cattle, greasing or spraying with Beau mont crude petroleum is a good way to rid them of ticks. When the number of cattle is large or when a dipping vat is convenient il may be more practicable to dip them. Full information as to how to get rid of the ticks, including directions for the preparation of dips and sprays, may be obtained free upon application to the Bureau of Animal industry.
