TICK KItADlCATIOX. <1du?oii <U>-4Jper*Uog with Bureau of Anliiuil ludiutry. Clemson College, Mar 30.~~8luce July J, 1907, Clemsou iboltege thru this Veterinary Division, has . b??u co-operating with the U. 8. Bureau of Animal Industry In eradicating th* cattle ticks ( which spread Tex as or Splenetic Kaver of cattle) from South Carolina. On that date tick eradication work was commenc ed in Oconee, Picknis, Greenville, and Anderson gcountlee and, as a result, these four counties were practically free from ticks and were released from Federal Quarantine in 1m. On July 1, 1808, this co-operative work was extended Into Greenwood, Abbeville, Union, i^aurens. Spartan-* hurg, Cherokee, Chester, and York counties und since that date work has been actively continued In this ftrea, As a result the counties of Greenwood, l^turens, Union, Chero kee, Spartanburg, that portlou of Abbeville county north of the Sea hoard Air Line Railway, that por tion of Chester county west of the Southern Railway and Carolina and Northwestern Railway, and that part of York county north of the Klng vllle and Marlon branch of the Southern Railway are now practical ly free from ticks, and the U. S. Department of Agriculture has just issued an order releasing the above mentioned area from federal Quar antine. This order allows unre stricted shipment of cattle from Oconee, Piokins, Greenville, Ander son, Union, Laurens, Greenwood, Spartanburg, Cherokee, that portion of Abbeville county north of the S. A. It. Railway, that portion . of Chester county west of the So. Ry., and c. and N. W. Ry., and that por tion of York county north of the Kingville and Marlon branch of the oo. Ry., to any portion of the Unit ed States and opens the world'n best markets to cattle of this area. In thin area, however, there still re mains a few quarantined premises not yet free from ticks and this or der does not allow movement of cat lo from these Quarantined premises. Release of this area (about 7,000 square miles) from federal quaran t.o? will undoubtedly do more than anything else could possibiy do to stimulate ail. Interest In the live stock Industry and to increase thd profits of this Industry in ? South Carolina. Feeders of beeff cattle from this area will be the first to profit by the release of theso coun ties, as they can now ship cattle to all markets without restrictions and receive as much for them as is re ceived for cattle of the same class rrom other sections of the United States. Owing to federal regula tions cattle from this area" have for merly been shipped as southern cat tle, unloaded in quarantine pefts, and sold under restrictions that caused the shipper to accept from one-fourth to ope and a half cents per pound less th^in was paid for cattle of the same class originating from above the federal quarantine line. The release of this area from fed eral quarantine has necessitated a change in the State Quarantine reg ulations previously adopted by the Board of.. Trustees of Clemson Col lege, under authority conferred by the General Assembly, for the pro tection of these counties from in trastate movement of cattle. At the last meeting of board of trus tees a npw quarantine regulation was adopted which will be effective on and after April 1. 1912. This regulation abolished the quarantine line which has prevented moyement of cattle' from Greenwood, Abbe ville, -Union, Laurens, Cherokee, Spartanburg, Chester, and York, in to Oconc?|0(Pickcns, Greenville, and Anderson counties. Cattle from the non-quarantined premises of Green wood, Laurens, Union, Cherokee, Spartanburg, that portion of Abbe ville county north of the S. A. L. Ry., that portion of Chester county west of the So. Ry., and C. and NT. W. Ry., and that portion of York county north of the Kingville and Marion branch of the So. Ry., may now be moved Into Oconee, Pickens, Greenville, and Anderson counties and into other states without re striction. This regulation prohibits the movement of cattle, except un der speclnl supervision, from that portion of Abbeville county south of the S. A. L. Ry., that portion of Chester county east of the So. Ry., and C. and N. W. Ry., and that portion of York county south of the Kingville and Marlon branch of the So. Ry., Into that area of South Carolina recently released from fed eral quarantine and which is above, mentioned. This regulation further prohibits the movement of cattle, except under special supervision, from any part of this State or from the quarantined area of other States into the counties of Oconee, Pickens--, Greenville, Anderson, Union, Green wood, Laurens, Abbeville, Spartan burg, Cherokee, . Chester and York. At the preset) t time the Veterin ary Division of Clemson College Is forming tick eradication clubs in the twelve counties adjoining the area which has just been released from federal quarantine. Work will be commenced in theso counties as soon as possible. M. Ray powers, ^ State Veterinarian. Doslrnlilo Residence for Kent. For Rent ?

For the' information of those who are not acquainted with thin Hospital movement 4 re desire to uuy that the building, to opst about $40,000, has been given by Mr H. B. Ifaruch, of#N. Y., and its main tenance is provided for by the will of the late Mr. John Hurdell, and now, its furnishing and equipping must be done by the cltlsens of Kershaw County, white and color ed. It must be remembered that this hospital is not for the city of Camden, but for the people of Kershaw county; nor is It for the white people alone, but for the col ored people as well, who will, no doubt, get more benefit, they be ing in the majority and needing tr.oie charity. We consider this hospital one of the greatest blessings that has ever come to us and to suffering humanity since It will provide free treatment for the alleviation of pain and suffering of those unable to pay. We ask that each pastor appoint a committee in his respec tive church making himself chair man of the same and urge upon our people to bestir themselves and show by- their zeal and ? contribu tion that they appreciate the gift and endowment of this Hospital for our good.

Nicholson will be 8 0 years old on Sunday and on ad count of his advanced age his many friends are anxious about him in this illness. Box 19 called the fire depart ment to 831 Main street at two o'clock yesterday where the roof of a small wooden store was ablaze. 1 The store is owned by a negro. Al though the fire did not do much harm, water drenched the* building and its consents. This is the sec ond fire that has occurred in the business section during the past 12 hours. At two o'clock yesterday morning fire destroyed the boarding hoUBe ! of Mrs. Evans, on Rutledge Street, j Tljo house is a part of the old law range. The express office n$xt . door was badly damaged by sinoke | I and water. Several packages in the, store room in the rear of the ex-; press office~^venr~ burned and oth- ! era damaged. The fire started Jnj the kitchen of Mrs. Evan's house, j The buildings were old and of brick,1 and the damage will not amount to a great deal. j CHAM Mill OF (X>MMKH(? Meld HowtWy om Wedw ! M the monthly meeting of tbo Chamber of Commerce Wednesday afternoon a letter was rva^L 'f0'" I*. fcS. Chaudler, 0?neral Wreigbt agent of the Sefcboard Air Lin?, of Norfolk. Va.f atating that he, with 1 toad miiiiter McNeal had lusted the proposed eitenaion of a ?pur ! track at the Seaboard freight do pot to the Caindfcn Brick Co.. to oonnect with the A. C. L. awd 80. ! railways, and a apur track from the Seaboard freight track to the rear of the bimineea aectlon of Main street, and tlrfit they were very much In favour of it and that they bad reported favorably upon tthe matter. The building of thla exten sion would, aave * $2.00 switching charges on each carload of goods shipped on ?. one road to be sld^ tracked to another. The spur track to the rear of Main street will save considerable drayage on carload lot shipments. Then too, IV will mean a great deal to the cotton buyers, who have to buy at the platform* on lower main street and dray to the freight depots, nearly a , mile distant. Over 20,000 bales of cotton are marketed here each year. The building of thla track will encourage additional warehouses for Camden. A letter from Washington stated that a man would be sent here at an early date to inspect the atroama near Camden in reference to estab lishing a fiah culture station here, and that their inspector who was in this State last month was com pelled to cease work, on account of unfavorable weather.^ This city hopes to land the station, as there are two large ponds and several creeks within three mile8 of the city. The opening up of an Inland wa terway between the Santee river and Charleston was discussed by the body, following a letter read from MaJ. Howell in reference to the pro posed work being unfavorably re ported. The Chamber gave the Riv er Navigation Committee, which Is composed of Capt. W. ??*? Shannon, chairman, C. J. Shannon, Jr., and MaJ. S. R. Adams, power, if they see fit, to go to Washington, at the Chamber's expense, provided Colum bia and Charleston sent a delega tion also, and to request the War Department of the necessity of op ening up the channel and improv ing the river navigation. Maj. How ell stated In his letter that the committee did not think the navi gation on the rivers and canal would w(arrant the opening of the chan nel. , The Chamber of Commerce intend ed opening a rest room last year, but dropped the matter, when a member of the City Council stated that the Council intended opening one. Since none has been opened, the Chamber of Commerce is again agitating the matter, and the mer chants and Council will be asked to contribute one-third each in the ex penses of keeping up a rest room. The matter will be reported upon at the next meeting. Capt. W. M. Shannon, Chairman" of the Hospital Committee, told of the unselfish gift of Mr. Baruch, and -the purchase of the site for the hospital. The city and county is to be canvassed at an early date, to raise $10,000. to equip the hos pital. "Excuse Me."

The Carolina Glee Club will give a performance at the opera house Wednesday night for , the benefit of the hospital. The club has taken trips to Spartanburg .Greenville and Abbeville, and Judging from the press accounts from each town, they more than pleased the audience. Burnett Stoney, of our city, is a .member of the club. When the club Visited Camden last year, they were greeted by a good houBe, and everybody seemed very much pleas ed with the performance. It is likely that a dance will be given to the Carolina boys after the perform ance. ? ? - ? ? Street Commissioner D. E.

The low places referred to are In the Southwestern corner kof Hamp ton Park, where water stands for several days after rains, and the iow place in front of Mr. Levkoff'a residence at the intersection of Mon u mental Park and the school house grounds. This low land in summer is an ideal place for mosquitoes to breed.
