The common cattle tick is a famil iar siirht to all our people but very few outside of those engaged in the cattle business realize the important part it plays in hindering the development of the cattle industry in the State. The cattle tick carries the “germ” that causes Texas fever, a disease very fa tal to grown cattle. Cattle that are raised on land infested with ticks are inoculated with the germ by becoming infested with ticks immediately after birth. At this age thev suffer a very mild attack of the disease with no vis ible external symptoms and after they have passed through it thev are then proof against the infection and can be exposed to ticks later in life with out harm But if cattle are raised on land on which there are no ticks and are afterwards moved to tick-infested lands, they will become infected with the disease. Thev will also suffer from the disease if they remain on the land on which thev were raised and tick-infested cattle are introduced among them. Because of these facts the Federal government has established a quaran tine line across the country, dividing the regions infested with ticks from those in which there are no ticks. No cattle can be moved from the tick-in fested regions across this quarantine line except when they are being shin- ped for butchering to a slaughter house which has direct railroad con nection. South Carolina is placed be low this quarantine line among the tick-infested regions. Hence, cattle cannot l>c shipped from this State to points above the quarantine line ex cept for immediate slaughter. Cattle f diarv purposes, or for feeding or breeding are barred. Thus, thy mar ket for the cattle produced in the State is considerably restricted. Some of the States included within the tick-infested area, notably Virgin ia. North Carolina, Texas and Okla homa, which had within their bounda ries an area in which ticks existed only on a few farms or ranches, have succeeded in having such areas placed above the quarantine line, thus open- m t new markets for the cattle raised therein. This was accomplished by the passage of a law by the legisla te e establishing a State quarantine dividing the slightly infested area from the infected part of the State and fb eradication of the ticks from the infected places in the slightly infest ed area. When these conditions were brought about the State quaran- tim- line was then adopted b ,r the Fed eral government and made a part of the national quarantine line. This plan is Just as feasable in South Car olina as in ^nv of the Sttites men- Coned. In a great part of the State since the passage of the stock law the cattle tick has become almost ex tinct and exists only on a place here an;] there. The first step in the mat ter. however, must be taken by the legislature. NOTES AND COMMENTS. If Teddy and the trusts do not give us a rest we shall all go insane accord ing to a prominent Western physi cian. » • • • It is notorious that all the exposed grafters were enthusiastic defenders of "national honor” and shouting for Republican candidates and policies in 18%, 1900 and 1904. • • • Most of us are not worrying so much about whether our bt-ef has been prop erly tagged by the government in spector, as we are about the amount on the tag we have to pay the butcher. • • • Mae Wood declares that Senator Platt married her and if this is true it partly explains the reason the Re publican senators hate to vote op the Mormon question. There may he oth ers in the same fix as Senator Platt. • • • Now congress has appropriated $25,000 a yoar to pay the traveling expenses of the president and his friends, there can be ~o reason why most of the invitations inviting him to s r >eak on politics and other subjects should be declined 4at least when congress is not ’> session. • • • Since the death of Gov. Patterson, of Ohio, the Republican politicians have been fullv employed in figuring on how to bounce the few Democrats the late governor appointed to office. In fact, they did not wait for the fu neral before the congressional dele- gtation at Washington w—-' holding a caucus and apportioning the offices for their henchmen. • • • It is a curious coincidence that while the Armours were being de nounced by Mr. Roosevelt and prose cuted for their crimes in Kansas City, Mr. Longworth, the President’s new son-in-law. was the guest of Allison V. Armour on his yacht at Kiel. Ger- j many. The family of Armour under- | stands Mr. Roosevelt too well to think I ill of him or members of his family on account of a little hocus ikjcus I about the packing houses. • • • * ‘The railroad rate bill has been ; fashioned into a club for extorting fa- I vors from the railroads in the elect- | ions. It allows the roads to give free ' passes to every delegate to a politi- f - ’ convention and as the law’ does not take effect unBl after election ev ery senator, congressman and cabinet officer can got a oass for this fall’s campaign. If the roads don’t give the passes the delegates will “vote ac cording to he dictates of conscience,” and the passes will be forthc<iming, and in all future legislation the roads will be “protected” as heretofore. * • • It will soon be time to open the fourth series of the Cherokee Building and Ixtan Association. So far this has proven to be one of the best insti tutions in Gaffney. In the seventeen months of its existence it has enabled a number of good earnest working men to build homes who could not otherwise have done so. It would be well for every workingman in Gaffney to look into the merits of this institu tion and when the time for the open ing of the new series arrives to take some stock. • • * We do not care to become tiresome or to ride a hobby, but we are inter ested in the upbuilding of Cherokee county, and for that reason we never tire on the subject of good roads. To many it may be a dry subject but the only reason why it is not interesting i« because they have never stopped jo give the matter consideration. We ! need good roads all 'over Cherokee | county, and the longer we put it off ! the longer w e pay a tax that is great er than double the amount that any | tax for good roads can possibly be. j Men of Cherokee, resolve in your | hearts that we must have good roads and there will tie opened some plan bv which we will get there. • • » We were somewhat surprised to ! note the publisher’s announcement in j the last issue of the Blacksburg Chronicle and still more surprised to receive a letter from Mr. Pfieffer. dat ed at Westwood, Md., In which that gentleman says: “I did not sever my connection, but was deliberately turned down and out In my absence from town and knew nothing of it un til I got a paper from a friend.” We are sorry to note any differences be tween Brother Pfieffer and the publishers of the Blacksburg Chronicle. Mr. Pfieffer is a clever newspaper writer and au affable gen tleman. We understand, however, that Mr. Pfieffer is not editorially dead and that it will not be many weeks before we shall hear from him through the columns of his own pa per. Aside from being a clever news paper writer, Mr. Pfieffer is superin tendent of the public schools of Blacksburg, is interested In the pro gress of county and State affairs and esnecially in the growth of Blacks burg. chairman of the committee on t he Charleston Division of the South ern Railway of the State Traffic As- ciation. and will attend the meeting at Columbia when that association meets.

Paint wear like iron. Any church will be given a liberM.1 quantity free whenever they paint. 4 gallons L. & M. mixed with 3 gal lons Linseed Oil will paint a moder ate sized house.

Gaff ney Drug Co. Story That the Couple ^ere Wedded in Europe Denied by William Bed ford. Who Died Monday. (New York Herald. 3rd.I All the mysterv surrounding the manage of Harry Kendall Thaw to Evelyn Nesbit was dispelled by a statement made by William Bedford, Thaw’s valet, who died yesterday. When Thaw and Miss Nesbit were returning from Europe together about a year and a half ago. the cabled rumor preceded them that they bad been married abroad. There were admissions of marriage, followed by denials, and the final ac count was that there had been a pri vate ceremony on Lie other side of the Atlantic and that the church wed ding which occurred in Pittsburg was merely to satisfy Thaw’s mother, who is a devoted church woman. This was not a second marriage, but the first and onlv one. according to Bedford’s declaration. After Thaw’s indictment for murder in the first de cree for killing Stanford White, his valet was one of the first persons summoned to appear before Assistant District Attorney Francis P. Garvan. There were many matters in which tb^ valet’s testimony was deemed es sential by the prosecution, as he had been in a position to know about Thaw’s actions for the last six years. Bedford declared positively that there had been no marriage before the Pittsburg ceremony. Thaw and Miss Nesbit had traveled together. Thaw taking his valet "and Mi§s Nes bit her maid, Nellie Leahy. Thaw in variably registered their names sep arately and always obtained com municating rooms. Bedford never carried any message to Mr. White and bad no knowledge of any having been received from him. There were no communications of any kind between Mr. and Mrs. Thaw and Mr. White so far as he knew. The Thaws seemed to get along very well together and did not quarrel, the valet testified. Thaw had the revolver with which b- shot White three or four months, and usually carried it, Bedford said, although he had not invariably done so. He formerly had and carried an other revolver. He was not in the habit of taking drugs. The valet saw him take pills at times with his meals, but never narcotics of any kind or any injection. For the last six years Thaw had not been in anv sanitarium or institution of any kind and had given no signs of insanity. Bedford carried a change of cloth ing to his employer at the West Thir tieth street i>olice station on the night of the shooting and subsequently made several trips to the Tombs. He made his statement to Mr. Garvan last Wednesday and called at the Dis trict attorney’s < ffice to revise it the following day. He complained of violent pains. Fri day and was taken from the Lorraine to the Presbyterian hospital, where it was found that he was suffering from appendicitis. Dr. Clarence A. McWilliam performed an operation and discovered that gangrene and perforation of the bowels had set in and that the case was hopeless. Bed ford gradually sank and died yester- dav forenoon. He was born in South ampton, England, and was living in I»udon when Thaw employed him. Private detectives will nay a vital • art in Thaw's trial, as they will be in a position to show that Thaw’s hatred for White was of long standing and that he had resorted to unusual ex pedients to disgrace him. One of the first persons connected with thu case who visited the district attorney’s of- flea yesterday was Paul L. Berghoff, who said he was employed to discover who the men were who were trailing Wlike and to protect him in the event of an attack, of whicn he was in con stant dread. Berghoff said he learned that the sleuths annoying White had been em- loyed by Thaw at the Greatec New York detective agency. White had j been shocked, though not apparently surprised, by the information, declar- i ing that Thaw was laboring under a | great misapprehension. White told | Berghoff that he had tried to be kind fe all the members of Mrs. Thaw’s family and had assisted her mother j financially and sent her brother to i school ami that lie was surprised to ! U am of the rancor on the part of the j young woman and her husband, j Berghoff expressed the belief that i stories told about White were mere calumnies. His work brought him : int- intimate contact with the archi tect, whom he found to be fond of 1 gayety, but without the vices cred ited to him by Thaw's friends. Three of the men hired to follow White appeared before Mr. Garvan during the afternoon. Thev were J. W. Rorke, William McDonald and Harry Raleigh. They confirmed Berg- i off’s testimony in many particulars. One detail that they admitted to be true was that Thaw had given in structions to have as manv men at the pier as possible to jeer White and to yell insulting epithets at him when he appeared to tase a steamer _ for Europe. These three men and several others had instructions to entrap White in ; some criminal act. so that he could , be arrested and exposed if he could b- caught. Thev devoteu months to the work and made reports w’hieh Thaw used as a basis for complaints to organizations for the suppression : of vice and crime. All the allegations | seem to have been too flirflsy to justi fy anv serious action on th'* part of j the authorities, although the salaried i vice crusaders were greatly interested and did their utmost to oblige their i wealthy client. j Although Thaw’ and his bride re- ■ turned to this city after their mar- ! riage and frequented the places ! where thev had gone while single and where thev were almost certain to see j White from time to time, no witness has vet been discovered to any meet- ; ing between them. No success has at- ! tended the efforts to show’ that Waite j made disrespectful remarks about I Mrs. Thaw or that any unpleasant comments were ever directed to 1 Thaw. The lawyers for the defense : are still hoping to obtain evidence along these lines, bui they nlace very j little reliance on the person w ho is i thus far their sole source of infor mation.
