TWO CATTLE DIPPING WILL ! BEGIN AT EARLY DATE r Believed That 1917 Will See More Territory Freed Than Ever. Washington, D. C., Feb. 7.?The dipping of cattle in the tick-infested areas will begin earlier than usual this year, it is announced.. There are now 14,247 vats in commission and it will be possible with these to dip over a million cattle each month. It is planned to begin the work as soon as possible after March 1 in order to catch the first generation of ticks hatched in the spring before they have had time to lay eggs. In this way, it is hoped to release much terT lU - i?.. 1 1 rilory eariy in tne mil. There is indeed reason to believe that 1917 will see more territory freed from the pest than any year since systematic tick eradication was begun. Each county released from quarantine i& an object lesson to its neighbors, and in recent years popular interest in the movement has been growing. One evidence of this is the action of the people in Mississippi in making eradication a state instead of a county matter. Under this law systematic dipping will be conducted this seasow in each of the thirty coun ties in the State still under Federal ? 11..'- *i ??? quarantine, m tins area uhtc am approximately 450,000 cattle and 2,700 vats will be operated. In addition dipping will be carried on in those counties which have been been freed as a whole but in which some herds have not been cleaned and are still under local quarantine. The work in Mississippi, it is point ed out, will drive a wedge of tickfree area right down to the Gulf. The army of ticks will be cut in half ? to be destroyed piecemeal here after?and a highroad for cattle from the freed areas will be opened to the markets of the North. In the other Staters east of the Mississippi the campaign of eradication is to be pushed vigorously by counties. In South Carolina only ten counties remain infested and in all of these it is planned to commence dipping on March 1. Five hundred vats will be in operation and approximately one hundred thousand cattle will be dipped regularly. About five thousand square miles should be freed at the end of the season. In Georgia it is planned to add 5,134 square miles to the 16,5G3 al 1-- ?i?, 1 ^r. i tauy reicuauu. r luuuut? are now free, and work will he carried on this season in thirty-threei others. It is expected that 147,500 cattle will be dipped in 1,320 vats. In Alabama systematic work in fifteen counties should set free 300.000 cattle and about 11,000 square miles of territory. Twenty-eight counties already have been released from quarantine and about 500 purebred bul'o have been imported into them. The grade of cattle, it is said, is being distinctly improved. North Carolina still has twentyfive counties under quarantine. Eight of these it is hoped to clean up by active work this season; in the others vats will be built and preparations made for active work in 1918. The situation in Florida is somewhat different from that in the other infested States bceause as yet there is no provision for extending State aid to the counties in their work of eradication. Consequently progress is largely dependent upon the amount of voluntary support received from associations of stockmen, dairymen, bankers, and other business men. An area of 3,800 square miles has, howfil ?V?n/l\7 linrm un/l inf ft ^ VW\*tT MVVII ViVUI IV\4 f 14 I I V t lilt'/ this high-class beef and dairy cattle are being imported with satisfactory results. In another county systematic work is being carried on which should result in release from quarantine at the end of this year, seven oountie3 have appropriated money for the construction of vats, and similar action is looked for on the part of a number of others. .

J 0 |STATE lTEMs| OF INTEREST TO ALL SOUTH j CAROLINA PEOPLE | David Campbell, aged 62 years, was found dead Wednesday morning at 5 o'clock in the yards of the Atlantic Coast Line railway near Gervais street in Columbia. A new steel bridge has been built over the Catawba river at Belmont, N. C., to take plaice of the one washed away last July by the freshet. Title to the Columbia canal, now owned by the Columbia Railway, Gas and Electric company, is declared for feited to the State of South Carolina under the terms of a joint resolution by Senator Ketchin, which passed on third reading by the senate last week. Capt. J. M. Graham, U. S. A., instructor inspector of the National Guard of South Carolina, has been appointed assistant mustering' officer, to muster the Johnson engineers out of the federal service at Marion. He will probably muster out the field hospital No. 1 at Florence. "Success will come to the Columbia bank, 1 think," Mr. Von Engelken said i?i Washington the other day, "if the people will realize that in proportion as they cooperate with me and lend me their support, to that j extent will the new bank be of benefit to them.

Among the Germans filing their intention papers in Charleston recent ly for citizenship was Harry Fogel of Georgetown and tho papers of Philip Hepler, a Russian, of Georgetown was also filed. NOT MUCH FIGHTING German Submarine Decree Still Main Interest in European War. Except for a continuation of the feeling of unrest caused by Gcr niany's announcement of a campaign of unresrticted submarine activity there is little of interest in the \va* news of last week. While Lloyd', reports the sinking of eight vessels supposedly by submarines, it is presumed that they all were sent to tlv bottom before the new submarin orders went into effect. Of the ves sels sunk one was Dutch. On the fighting fronts there has been litt'e activity aside from the operations of small reconnoiter'ng parties and artillery duels. Pctro>rad reports a Russian advance near Kalnzen, southwest of Riga, and the opulse of throe attacks by the Aus ' tro-Gcrmans against the Russians east of Jacobeni, near the northern! Roumanain frontier. Small actions also have occurred in the Nayuvka river region in Galicia. In northwest Persia the Turks are credited with gains over the Russians by Berlin. Reconnoitering engagements continue around Kut-el-Amara and a heavy bombardment also is in progress there. In the Austro-Italian theatre the Austrians are bombarding with great intensity the region near Lake Garda and positions in the Gorizia zone and on the Carso plateau.
