I wae sum either by wire or by letter "Oome at once; cattle are 1 dying." In every caee, with one exception, 1 found the same die eaee, which ia the only one at preeent naenaoee the cattle induetry of the Stpte, vis: Texas fever, distem per In cattle, or southern cattle fever. The deadly effects of this disease have been discussed through the col tunas of the newspapers of this State, at farmers’ institutes and in personal conversation for the tost four years by Dr. 0. S. Neeom, my worthy friend and ooworker, who just a little over a month ago severed bis conneo tton with Clemaon and took up work in a new Held. His bulletins have been universally distributed, yet there oontlnuee to be considerable lose throughout the State from the effects of disease So much to, till 1 am forced to believe that our people do not retain facte as they should after they have once teen presented to them. At any rate, there are con outbreaks of Texts fever, and while 1 do not hops to be able to oom- pletely eradicate it by simply stying s few words to the oattle owners of the State, yet if they should bear in mind that the disease does not occur only when it is prodooed In s mild form by inoculation, unless the common cattle tiok ia present. ' Also should they re- r of yea itteo to nL if thy anlmsl bas carried ticks t la Immune to this disease and you will no ohs rose so far at Texas is concerned by taking It to so infested farm. Ton will also be safe hi buying osttte which have never carried ticks and are therefore not tmr to Texxs fever and ptochqr that a number of years ago T A S when cattle were permitted to run at large, the common cattle tick was ■sore or less prevalent on all cattle, and there never was a case of the dis ease noted, as well as the fact that a immber of farms throughout the State have become free from ticks, and so long as they remain so the disease does not occur on these tick free turns. With these facte in mind, they can’t help but come to the con elusion that cattle must have ticks and then all the time or else never have them at all. To measures to produce gen oral infection would be going bicic to the conditions as existed beloie the “stock law" went into effect. And ns the environment of cattle at present has a tendency to free them from Helm, naturally it would only taka period of 16 or 20 years lor us to gradually rise back to our prenant"Htmt||on • I realise the seeming impoetibillty of fleeing a farm of ticks, yet it can be done by a systematic and thorough .a— 0 f the oattle once every ten duns nr tin weeks during the summer mjtm. And should there be any cattle owners, whose farms are Infest ed, wishing to free their farms o yoof, if that will address me 1 will gladly take the matter up with’ them As I have already stated, this dis sees never occurs unices the common oattle tick ia present, and at this time very little can be done to prevent tite furtbei spread of the disease except to thoroughly remove all the ticks from the oattle and place them in a pasture which is noninfested. . In this way poatibly a cumber of the herd will be taken out of the infested ter rltory before they have become Infect ed and will bs placed where It will be impossible for them to contract the disease, unless ticks gain accsm to them later. ^ Tbs medicinal treatment for ani saala while suffering from the disease is very unsatisfactory, the morality being at least 90 per oect. Yet, 1 al ways advise to treat them sympto matically and hope for good results. I have had a few oases that recovered under the following treatment, which la Urn one I always recommend for oattle suffering from the disease: When the first symptoms of the dis ease are noted ticks that are on the »»>«""»] should be thoroughly removed and a good purgative given, vli.: Ep som salts, In one or two pound doses, according to the site of the animal. Within eiglft nr tea houti aftet lto administration of the salts, commence giving quinine sulphate In one-half ounce duces dissolved In one-half pint of whiskey three times a day. Con tinue for at least three days. If the salts have not acted In 24 hours, re peat Its administration, giving only half as much as was given in the first dois. sick' animals should be sep- erated-irom the herd and given the benefit of comfortable quarters. Very young cattle have the power to withstand the disease without any dangerous result*, and cattle owners ean brlog calves under four months old to their tick Infested farms with practically no danger, provided these calves become Infested at ones with Though I always advise the immune to Texas feyer when they are to be introduced on a farm infested with ticks. This inoculation can be practiced susoemfully only with oattle that are under two years old, though 1 have Inoculated, and with good re- colta, cattle much older. The traffic in cattle is very import ant to the oattle owners of the State. If be‘has a tick-free farm, no animal Umt to infected can be permitted to mUt premises without very much endangering the lives of the cat tle which are already on that farm. And the life of an animal that has never carried ticks to equally endan- i It to brought to a farm them oo your farm, provided it it free from ticks. But if your farm to infest ed, such oattle should be Inoculated before expoemtf them. Also should the animal purchased bo infected and tbs farm which to to bo free from ticks, they should be thoroughly cleansed of the parasites before driving them to the farm.

At Philadelphia with every pros pect of gaining a reprieve and event ually a commutation to a short term of imprisonment, James Webb, under sentence for the murder of his wife and mother-in-law, has declared in his cell at Moyamensing prison that he wishes to die and by his own act has out off bis one chance of escaping the gallows. When his attorney went to the prison with the documents needing tbe convicted man’s signa ture, Webb refused to sign and said be wanted to die on the gallows. The firemen drained the vault so as to be sure that the rescue was com plete. Among the first to come to the relief of Principal Zimmerman were Rev. I. D. Lambert of tbe Presbyter tin church and Frank S. Johnson of The Herald and Presbyter of Oinoin- nati. _ James Smith, aged 14, one of the pupils climbed-to the roof of the school house, untied the flag and uran to the vault.

The im portunities of friends, especially of the weeping mothers, were almost beyond the control of the officers. Dm. U. G. Senour and P. T.

Johnson said: “I wss standing across the street talking to Dr. Lambert when a little girl came crying for help. We found Principal Zimmerman saving lives. The smaller girls were being forced to tbe bottom by tbe movements and terrific slug- glesof each other in the vault. Up the ladder climbed the little ones, drench ed, gasping for breath and fainting as sooo as taken out into the fresh air. As fast as they came within reach of tbe door those who stood at the door way reacbed down and lifted them from tbe ladder and passed them out to waiting friends.

J. Card of McCullough & Sons In Cincinnati had three daughters in tbe place, of whom Charmlan and Fausts lost their lives. Roths, the As this is leap year it may be time ly to give a few hints to the young men. We have known young men to meet a pretty face in a ball-room, fall in Jove with It, marries it, goes to housekeeping with It and boasts of having a borne and a wife to grace it. The chances are he has neither. He has been “taken in.” Her pretty face gets to be an old storyj or becomes faded and as the face was til he paid attention to, til be swore to honor, love and protect, be to sick of bit bar gain. Another young man becomes en amored of a fortune. He waits upon it to parties and balls, weds it and calls it wife, carries It home, introduces it to his friends and saya he is .married and has a home. He is not married. He has no home and soon finds it out. If a young man woul^ escape these consequences let him shun tbe rocks upon which so many have made ship wreck. Let him learn to look into the mind and heart of the woman be thinks of marrying. * We have just been thinking about present dav “hobbles” and they create within us a longing for the return of tbe good old days of our forefather days when callous-.d hands warmly clasped each other and kid gloves were unknown; days when at eventide the family gathered at the old place and the pleasures of home. How 'eroht now. Take the average family today and the servant girl is enjoyed, different from home two-thirds of the evenings of the week do not build up that solid Christian character that is formed around the old fire-place at home. Unless in these matters, we return to tbe good old days pf our fathers and there is no place like “Home, Sweet Home,’’ we can expect many to fall by the wayside and our daughters and brightest boys be ruined at the very thresh-bold of life. kittle Girl Assaulted.

We recently visited the home of one of our subscribers and we will give you a brief description of what we saw and heard, and see if you can guess whose home it was. We called about the time for the evening meal as we desired to see the head of tbe household whom we knew would be there promptly for supper. Upon entering and being seated In a cozy room we awaited the coming of the husband and father. The good wife kept busy at her work and as the kitchen door was ajar we leheld a picture that sealed Itself in memory’s oasket. It was eVident that the day had been full of active work for the mother. The children, too, had been busy befqre and after school, helping with the house work, taking care of baby and running about with cheery faces and laughter that brought happy smiles into the mother’s eyes. The odor of good things cooking prevaded the kitchen pleesantly. The night was rioting In and baby was sleepy and he crowed and whimpered as mother andremed him before the Ire, They stretching his tiny tom to the warm blase.

With tbe of erecting large over tbe '’State of South Carolina in which to store sur plus cotton, thereby In s measure con- ti oiling tbe price of tbe staple, a Farmers’ Co Operative union has been organized in tbe thriving county of Anderson, and the organization now has on Ita ro ll tbe names of more than five hundred of tbe substantial farmers of the oountv. Mr. Joseph J. Fretwell president of tbe People’s Bank of Anderson, and a business man pf large experience in the cotton market, has been employed by the union as its selling agent. Mr. Fret- well was in Charleston recently aud when seen by a reporter of the News and Courier courteously consented to outline the plans of the new and mucb-talked-of organization. “Suppose, for instance," aid Mr. Fretwell when asked to make a plain statement, “the world demends eleven million bales of cotton for consump tion. This much cotton is neoesarv for tbe filling of contracts, etc., and the manufactoriis are obliged to have It., How suppose thirteen million biles are produced—there ia a demand for only eleven million, ylt thirteen are produced and sold. It is nothing but natural that tbe surplus should be sold at a low price for there la lit tle active demand for it. Now the object of the Farmers' Co-operative union recently organized in Anderson county, is to have warehouses erected all over the state or maybe tbe South, to carry the surplus cotton crop, and as each county organizes, let the in stltution be known as the Farmers’ Co-operative union, for that is what it is. Let warehouses be erected at til tbeimpo tsnt villages whore cotton receipts warrant such action, and let the entire crop be handled through these hr use, a selling agent being em ployed by the union. “The purpose of the organization is to place tbe farmer in an independent position, regulating the amount of cotton to be sold each month and thereby controlling the prioe. Of coursf, it is not Intended, to hold the entire crop, but we only want that part of the crop held for which there is little demand—in other words, we hope to regulate the price by regulat ing tbe amount sold—don It sell merely because y on happen to 'have A bale ginned, bui wait till the manufacturer rah to needs it. If a man ia obliged to sell to provide tbe nee esltlee of life, Of course be is st perfect liberty to sell *t (he market quotation, hut if possi ble don’t sell too rap’dly. “True it la that our organization is hut in Its infancy and It is probable that we shall meet with some opposi tion at the beginning; but we hope to show whatcantedone in this direction and trust that other bounties will fall in line, for the more extensive the parents and children are educated to enjoy home and made Jo realize that (union, the more effectual wiil be Re action in retaining the surplus crop. We believe Anderson county tiune will be able to carry her surplus as figured ou( by the agriculture bureau In Washington. “Personally, I do not tblnk that there is a farmer in that county who will not be able to carry his surplus this year and I believe with others, that should the whole South take tide matter in hand and regulate the amount of cotton placed on the mar ket and force the surplus, that the prioe can be controlled.
