t (30,000 FOR TICK I
ERADICATION
ALLOWED BY HOUSE OF REPRESEI'TATIVES
IN APPROPRIATION
BILL.
Columbia, February 10:?me
House worked to-night until after
11 o'clock and passed the general
appropriation bill. It did a most
; remarkable thing in passing the bill
in toto without the reduction of an
^atem as reported by the Ways and
'Jfeans committee, except to disallow
r suggested payment of $5,000
** ^br the Todd and Benson plans for
1 k State House improvements. The
V# astounding testimonial to the work
> W of Chairman Dick and his associates
was that there was but one roll call,
and that on the Todd-Benson claim,
on the hundreds of items contained
ilKhe bill as reported. The only
change in the bill as reported and
' as passed was an increase of $50 for
? harrl-worked Journal clerk and
the disallowance of the claim for
'* the State House plans.
Cattle tick eradication got its $30,000
without even a division vote, so
did the Industrial Home, at Florence,
get its new building,and there
was not a suggested attack on an
item in the Medical College appro?
priatioii.
The House, at the instance cf Mr
James, voted $45,000 as a supplementary
contingent fund for support
of the rural schools of the
State. The fund is to be expended
under direction of the State board
of health. The first fight came on
the allowance of $25,000 for the
establishment of a tuberculosis hospital.
The hospital won without a
roll call.
The House also allowed a $10,000
encampment fund for its militia, the
University, Winthrop, the Citadel,
tbe cobred college, and all got exwhat
the Ways and Means
k committee recommended,
v There was not a flutter on the
P items for interest on public debt,
r elections, legislative expenses or engrossing
department. There was
|B not even a suggestion of amending
or trimming the item for the Medial'
ical College of South Carolina. The
M allowance was $34,800.
The miscellaneous items hummed
merrily along until the fourteenth
item was reached. This read "for
eradication of cattle tick, $30,000.
Mr Fcrtner moved to cut this out.!
t* Dp Sturkie wished the fund used to '
eradicate hog cholera as well as
cattle tick. Mr Hardin opposed!
&-dilating money for tick eradication. I
The farmers, he declared, do not
^ V want this appropriation and all that
he saw is to make a few salaried
jobc^ Mr White, of Clarendon, said j

had never seen a cattle tick. He!

??
of Florence, and Mr Bethea, of Dil-;
Ion, both heartily favored the appropriation
for the tick eradication.
Mr Lee, of Bishopville, wanted
the cattle tick fund allowed because
it would lead to better things
and bring ideal farm conditions. As
a money proposition it would pay
the State to allow this fund. Mr
Fortner said there were people
starving and the only good he could
see would be to establish good, fat <
jobs. He argued it would be better '
to give this money to the schools. i
Mr Ashley, of Anderson, said i
taxes were too high. He offered .
advice for a home remedy against
cattle tick. This fund would do no
good to any one. He advised cot- <
ton seed oil and sassafras as a sure
cure against cattle tick and hog lice, i
He thought it foolish to show that
farmers themselves couia not tnemselves
handle the tick situation. Mr
Liles said the cattle tick cost this
State a millon dollars a year. He
explained that this was the only
really important thing in the bill
for the farmers. The money would
be matched by the Federal Government.
The House retained the item of
$30,000 for tick eradication without
even a division vote.
The House also refused to strike
out various other agriculture items.
Mr Fortner wanted a roll call on the
item of one thousand dollars. Ten
members would not second his call
and the House voted the one thousand
dollars for the Colored State
Fair.
The House killed Mr Warren's
amendment to cut the cattle tick 1
fund from $30,000 to $5,000. 1
Mr James wanted to provide a 5
new item by allowing $45,000 as a <
contingent fund to be used for the i
better support a rural schools, which ]
was adopted.
Mr Stanley favored the amendment.
Mr Kibler said the bill carried
all the common schools could
absorb under present conditions.
Mr Friday called the ayes and nays,
and for the first time the roll was
called on a proposition to add an
entirely new item to the bill, and
one that had not been considered by
the committee.
Mr McDonald moved to cut out
the $5,(>00 reported in favor of the
Todd and Benson plans for the
State House improvements. Mr
Blackwell and Mr Lumpkin insisted
that the State certainly owed something
for the plans, and the $5,000
allowed was a compromise. Mr McDonald's
amendment to strike out
$5,000 for the Todd-Benson plans
was adopted?59 to 29?and the
House disallowed the claim. Shortly
before 12 o'clock the bill passed
to third reading.

FUN, FACT, FADS AND FANCIES
FURBISHED UP FOR
OUR FOLK.
I
Lake City, February 17:?A series
of forgeries and the forger brought
to justice was the sad climax of a
3ordid drama in real life yesterday
afternoon, when Nick Eaddy, alias
J M Williams, alias J M Daniels, waa
identified by Mr J C Bazen of Bostick,
and also by a prominent merchant
of this place, as the party
who had mulcted them through a
3ystem of fraudulent checks issued
by Eaddy, drawn on The Farmers &
Merchants Bank of Johnsonville, a
branch of The Farmers & Merchants
Bank, of this place. The first intimation
of this shady work was
gained when, on the first instant,
checks and statements were returned
by the bank; the fraudulent
signature was exposed and action
immediately taken, and a Pinkerton
Aan placed on the look-out. It
seems that the first check, amounting
to $35.00, was issued about a
month ago; the second several days
later for $55.00, and the last, the
one through which "Daniel came

Farmers & Merchants Bank this afternoon
to be cashed. The amount
of this last check was $180.00. Mr
Bond, assistant cashier, having
recognized the negro, cashed the
check merely as a ruse, and scarcely
had the negro left the building before
he was being shadowed by one
of the clerks until a policeman arrived
on the scene, immediately
placing him under arrest and confining
him in the '"public tavern"
until today, when he will be transferred
to more comfortable quarters.
Further developments bring to light
the fact that this fellow had "pulled
one over" on a local live stock dealer,
having made a mortgage over
realty, in which he had no claim or
right, thereby securing the purchase
price of certain stock. Nick Eaddy.
alias Daniels and Williams, is a
arraduate of Allen University, Columbia,
and a "professor" in the '
upper part of the county. He is i
apparently a well educated negro, j
and certainly has made use of his j
^duration. esDeciallv in the wav of,
penmanship; but this time,as it happened,his
clerkly skill was not quite
30 brilliant as his ideas. Your correspondent
would respectfully cite
this as an apt illustration with
reference to the Fortner bill. (How
about compulsory education??Editor
The Record).
Last Wednesday the board of1
commissioners consummated the j
final s^eps in the matter of the elec-1
trie light plant, when the bids were
considered from several reputable
firms who had representatives here
for that purpose. Lake City may

and quite convenient.
The description given by your
correspondent of the city of Heinemann,together
with his suggestions,
has made me put aside frivolity, for
the time being, and talk seriously,
(but the young lady in question
prefers anything, any kind of job,
even the prospect of being a severe
spinster, to that of taking an old
widower. Why, a bachelor?because
he is a man?is bad enough, but a
a widower)! Whatever he intends
to convey by the term "boodle,"
was lost before it reached your
scribe. However, in trie event it
mnant good, legal tender, lawful
money, the mere fact that the
owner thereof is an old widower has
nothing at all to do with the proposition.
But, isn't Heinemann a
perfectly wonderful place? Just
fancy, eating three meals a day!
Whoever did such a perfectly unheard-of
act? Sheer extravagance!
This remark leads me to believe that
the folk there really have luxuries
unheard of here in Lake City.

ISRAEL CAMPBELL CAUGHT.
Arrested at Strawberry Saturday
by Sheriff Graham.
Israel Campbell, the negro who
Saturday night,February 7,shot and
mortally wounded Fannie Footman,
a negro woman living on the premises
of Mr Lex McClary of Gourdins,
was captured Saturday at
1 I CI ;(T on,l I
rurawuerry uv onciui. uiauam ouu
lodged in jail here that evening.
Campbell persistently denies shooting
the woman, and upon his statement
a warrant has been issued for
the arrest of another negro man in 1
the neighborhood of Gourdins. The
dying declaration of the woman implicated
only Campbell, but it is evident
that there are others who know
something about the case. With the !
indictment of Campbell by the grand ]
jury, there will be six murder cases1
for trial at the next term of the f
court of general sessions, which con-!
venes Monday. Five of these cases
are against negroes.
