Washington, Sept. 2.?The threat
of a general railroad strike, which
has been hanging like a pall over the
country for nearly u month, was lifted
tonight.
Three hours after the senate ha 1
passed without amendment the Adam j
son eight hour day bill, passed by the
house yesterday, the heads of fourj
great railroad employes brotherhoods
telegraphed COO odd code messages to.
their general chairmen in all parts of j
the country cancelling the strike or-}
tier issued a week ago to take effect(
next Monday morning at 7 o'clock.
The legislative expedient to avert
the strike Wft* passed In the senate

amend the measure by provisions designed
to prevent industrial disasters
in the future. Some senators, thoroughly
aroused, declared congress
was being coerced into enactment of
legislation that it did not desire and i
that it knew would return to pljgue
it in the future.
Will Sign It Today.
In both houses the measure was
signed within a few minutes after the
final vote in the senate and it was
sent at once to the White House,
where President Wilson will sign it:
at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning after:
his return from Shadow Lawn. Ofli-1
tdals of the brotherhoods who wit-j
nessed the final passage of the bill j
had announced early in the night thatj,
cancellation of the ftlrike would not,
be ordered until the bill had been sign

a law. But later they conferred,
changed their minds and flashed,
the code messages signaling to the,
waiting trainmen of the country;
through their chairmen the messagei
that a satisfactory settlement had
been secured. * .
The bill that stopped the strike provides

Berlin.?A proclamation containing
views of the peace conditions which
might be imposed by Germany is
published today by "the independent
committee for German peace," an organization
formed some time ago by
those considered to be the oYtromp
war advocates in Germany.
The proclamation asserts that despite
the fact that the Germans and
their allies aro holding three kingdoms ;
in their hands, the entente still taiks ]
of the destruction of the German em- j
pire and entente statesmen continue 1
to indulge in a i'loo<l of abuse and lies 1
about Germany, while themselves ]
voilating every principle of inter- ^
national law, forcing neutrals to en 1
tei the war against their better judg <
ment and endeavoring to force into <
submission through hunger, millions
whom their swords could not van- 1
quish. . 1
"Our enemies will not succeed," t
continues the proclamation. One <
thing they have accomplished is to <
force upon us the realiation that Eng *
land is our special and most danger- *
ov.s enemy. England causes our ene- (
mies to stick together. England
leads them. Upon England they de- (
pend and will depend more after the
war. On the wreckage of our empire
England hopes to unfurl the banner
of Anglo-Saxon world dominion."
The document asserts that Russian
territory from the Baltic to Volkynia
must in the future be included in the
German sphere to serve as a bulwark
against the Russians tendency to annihilate
Germany. France's revenge
ideas must constantly be kept in
mind, so that in the west also
changes would be necsesary.
Belgium, in the future, adds the
proclamation either will be a German
or an English bulwark, so "real guarantees"
here also are needed.
^ The document then cites the ex:
pl'eSsion of Dr. Pet^i* Spnha, lettdo
of the Catholic center party in tilO
reichstag, that "Belgium must lie in I
German hands militarily, economical- I
ly and politically."
The proclamation concludes with
the assertion:
"England's plan threatens us with
political and economical helotry. It
airtYs at our life as a people and as a <
state. It aims at our culture and in- 1
stitutions. Energy must be applied <
regardless of consequences to force '
I
peace upon this enemy. Let it not J
come true, that, as England says, we will
win all the battles, but England
will win the war. With Von Hindenburg
let us say it is not only a question
of sticking it out but of win-l
ning." ,

The second Democratic primary of
1916 will come off in this County
next Tuesday to determine who shall

Representatives during the next two
years. There are four candidates foi
this office from which to select two:
Messrs. E. S. C. Baker, W. M. Booth
W. C. Hooks, and W. I.. Mishoc. It
will also determine who is to hold the
auditor's office, in which the second
race is between Messrs. N. C. Adams
find C. E. Barker; and will also determine
who is to be treasurer between
Messrs. W. L. Bellamy and S.
I). Bryant; and will determine
whether the present encumbent, Mr.
V. D. Johnson or Mr. Whitefon
Cooper is to be coroner of Horr>
County.
The second primary for Governor
jetween Richard I. Manning and Cole

Washington, Sept. 7.?H< -cause of
the spirit of cooperation among the
people of the South in the work of
eradicating the tick which transmits
Texas fever to cattle, this destructive
and expensive pest should be eliminated
from the territory of the United
States within tllr? novt fi\7?
.. . ...... - ..v Iiv ivv i??L" J VU1
according to the field inspection Division
of the Bureau of Animal Industry
of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture. Enthusiasm in the fight
against the pest is running particularly
high in several of the 11 tickinfested
Southern States and these
commonwealths will free their territory
within the next year or so, the
division perdicts. In 8 of the States,
it is believed, the work will be completed
within 4 years.
An outline of conditions in the tick
Jufested territory, recently prepared,
shows that Virginia, only 4 counties
in which are now under quarantine,
can be made tick free by one year's
active work, and, that because of the
interest now being shown there, the
quarantine is likely to be removed
from the last bit of previously tickinfested
territory in the State early
in 1918. South Carolina, which is
pushing the eradication work steadily
forward, should achieve freedom from
ticks the same year. By the end of
1917, it is calculated, there should be
but 15 counties in Alabama remaining
in quarantine, and these, at the rate
the State has been working, should be
cleaned up the following year.
For Mississippi probably the most
accurate prediction can bo made.
The legislature of that State recently
enacted a law requiring that all counties
now in the quarantined area
shall eradicate the tick during 1917.
The people showed their interest in
this step immediately, and nearly all
the infested counties already have
appropriated funds for the building
of dipping vats in preparation for the
State-wide eradication campaign.
State-wide tick eradication legislation
also has been enacted in Louisiana.
As a result, this State can expect
to be free of fever ticks by the
end of 1919.
Oklahoma, it is believed, will clear
its territory of fever ticks within the
next three years. In Arkansas, dipping
vats are in course of construction
in practically every county of
the State and soon will be in general
use. It is believed that tick eradication
will be complete in this State by
the end of 1920. The same year it is
predicted, will see North Caarolina
cleared of ticks.
Georgia, Florida, and Toxas, have
the hardest task before them in the
work of tick eradication, and probably
will require most of the five-year
period to bring about the removal of
quarantine from their treritory. Texas
has more counties quarantined because
of the presence of the fever
tick than any other State, and has
almost as many square miles in the
I quarantined area as all the other
Slates combined. It is probable,
therefore, that the work of eradication
there will take more time and
i tl.at unless there is unforseen activity,
Texas wlil be the last of the
States to claim a white area on the
map. The finishing of the work of
eradication in the other States, however,
will release Federal agents engaged
in the work and will make possible
the concentration of effort on
Texas toward the end, of the five
year period. It is believed, thereto!e,
that by the close of 1921 this concerted
work, if properly supported by
