o
Tide Eradication m Upper Carolina. ]
The State and. Federal agents !
in tick eradication work are now !
being placed in the field for the \
summer's campaign and by April '
1st the entire force will be at J
work in the northwestern coun- '
ties of this State i. e. Abbeville, j
Greenwood, Laurens, Union, !
Cherokee, Spartanburg Chester :
and York. Every effort will be
made to cbmpletely free this '
area from ticks and place it ,
above the federal quarantine
line this year.
On December 6, 1909, the J
counties of Oconee, Pickens, 1
Greenville and Anderson were
released from federal quaran
tine and cattle can now be ship- !
ped from this area to any portion
of the United States with- ,
out restriction. This has already
greatly stimulated interest in the
feeding of beef cattle, as cattle
in this area can now be placed
on the market without restriction
and consequently bring more
than cattle fed in other portions
of the State.
Tick eradication work in South
Carolina has been in progress
since July 1, 1907, when Oconee,
Pickens, Greenville and Anderson
counties were first t uaran- j
tined against cattle frorr. other !
portions of the State. T.n these
counties over 800 tick infested
premises were found on first
inspection and, with the exception
of a small number of
farms, those premises have been
entirely freed from ticks.
In Abbeville, Greenwood,
Laurens, Union, Spartanburg,
Cherokee, AJhester and York
counties^ which were quarantined^
June 1909, about 2000
tick "'infested' premises were
ozv" ftwmd and nearly half of these
Wttve already been freed from
ticks. The' remainder will be
freed this summer and these
counties will then be in condition
for release from federal quarantine.
This work is being conducted
oy the State in co-operation
with the U, $. Bureau of
Animal Industry under an act
of the General Assembly which
'authorizes the hoard of trustees
of Clemson college to appropriate
funds and adopt necessary
regulations for the execution of
this work. The appropriation
bill recently passed by the
General Assembly directs the
appropriation of $5,000 out of the
Clemson college funds for tick
eradication work, but the amount
expended for the present fiscal
year will reach $10,000 while the
federal appropriation for the
present fiscal year will be in the
neighborhood of $20,000. Agents
in tick eradication work are directed
by the Federal inspector
at Spartanburg and by the State
veterinarian at Clemson College.
The progress of this work will
now be more rapid as the people
of the State are beginning to
realize that the cattle tick causes
an enormous loss which can be
prevented. The estimated loss
to the people of the Southern
States, which can be attributed
to this dangerous parasite, is
about $40,000,000 each year,
while an estimate of $900,000
annual loss to the people of
South Carolina would not be ex
cessive.
KM i ree f
moral Direct or maine rrohiDition.
The State of Maine has had
prohibitory law for about sixty
years. Prohibition has been
preached from many of toe
Protestant pulpits and doubtless
a large majority of the Protestant
preachers favor it. The
United States census bulletin
No. 103, under the heading of;
"Religious bodies," reveals some
interesting facts with reference j
to the State of Maine as far as i
* church membership is concerned.
Page 40 of this bulletin shows
' 4 that the per capita membership
' in all churches of the United
States was in 1890 32.7 per
cent., in 1906 39.1 per cent,
r* . ?, that in the North Atlantic diV
vision composed of Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont, Massachu?
setts, Rhode Island, Connecticut,
? New York, New Jersey and
v * Pennsylvania, it was in 1 SIM)
36.5 per cent, and in 1906 44.1
^ per cent. The per capita church
membership in the State of
Maine was in 1890 24.2 per cent,
and in 1906 29.8 per cent. The
omwtli nf n?>r ntniilu momlinruhin
was in the North Atlantic division
from 1890 to 1906 8.6 per
cent, in the State of Maine 5.6
per cent.- There are but five
States in the Union showing less
per capita church membership in
1906 than Maine, one of these
being Kansas, another prohibition
State, and other Oklahoma
with a large Indian population
and also a prohibition State, and
the others being West Virginia,
Wyoming and Oregon. Bulletin

iU * V,
Divorce/' on page 42, shows that
the average number of divorces
in the United States in
1900 per 100,000 married population
was 200, in the North
Atlantic division the average
number for* that population
was 100. The average number
of divorces in the State of
Maine per 100,000 population was
182, being 182 points or 182 per
crent. larger than the average in
the North Atlantic division.
These statistics suggest the
question as to whether prohibition
increases morality or church

Frightened Horse Demolishes Buggy.
A buggy in which V. B.
Blankenship was riding was considerably
broken up Friday afternoon
on Booth street, near the
Presbyterian church. Half a
hundred or more hand bills had
been put on a cord which was
tacked to a tree. As Mr. Blankenship
passed the tree a gust of
wind blew a number of the bills
down in front of the horse. The
horse became frightened and
bolted into a farm wagon loaded
with fertilizer. The impact tore
one wheel from the buggy and
otherwise injured it, but fortunately
Mr. Blankenship was not
hurt. The broken buggy was
owned by Magistrate McElhaney,
who is emphatically of the
opinion that the law against the
distributing of hand bills on the
streets should be enforced.
