A COUNTY MATTER. Tlie Eradication of the Dreaded | Cattle Tick. Washington, DC, October 2:?Because the cattle tick always has been in the South is no reason why it always should be. When the Federal Government, as a result of its investigations into the harm done by the j pe3t, determined in 1906 to under-' take the work of systematic eradication, its first step was to quarantine tVio infoc+od ai-pa This teriitorv in-1 VUV. I U1VUVVU M? vw. - "- ?? v ! eluded at that time 728,543 square miles. It has^sinee been reduced to j 444,022 square miles and tens of j thousands of miles are being freed >from quarantine each year. It is obvious, therefore, that the j tick can be driven out. The process j is a simple one and its efficiency proven. Regulardipping in arsenical baths of all the cattle in a county will put an end to the pest in the course of one season. This fact is indisputable. The lack of success in some cases has invariably been due to conditions which have made dipping irregular or incomplete. There are always some persons who, if left to themselves, will shirk their share in the work and neglect to bring their cattle to the vats. In some way these must be forced to do their ..... part. Again,tne numoer 01 vats may be too few to handle all the stock and the consequent delays may seriously interfere with the progress of the work. Such obstacles, however, can always be overcome. They do not affect the essential point that the tick can be eliminated whenever and wherever the people are determined to do so. Primarily tick eradication is a county matter and must be accomplished by county effort. The United States department of agriculture, however, stands ready to lend the services of its trained men to any county in which the people are sufficiently in earnest in the matter to build the necessary vats and enforce the necessary dipping regulations. If thp npnnta are not willine to do this, it is useless to expect anything from the Federal men. They can help only those who want to help themselves. The first step, therefore, is to determine whether the people really do want the ticks to go. If they decide they do, the Federal inspectors will supervise the construction of the vats,the preparation of the baths and the actual dipping of the cattle. They will assist the local men in every way within their power,but they cannot supply the money that the work demands. As a matter of fact, however, the amount required is not large. In a number of counties that are now free from quarantine, tick eradication has been accomplished at a cost of from 19 to 50 cents per head of cattle. As it is a conservative estimate that cattle in a tickfree county are worth $10 a head more than in a ticky one, the investment seems to be a sound one. Sunday-school Convention.

TANLAC HAS BEEN WORTH SI 500 TO HIM, HE SAYS. Richardson Declares, "Two Years Have Passed Since Tanlac Restored My Health," HE ONCE LIVED ON MILK. Removed by Teniae, He Says? "Fve Had No Return ol Any of My Old Troubles." A few days ago Frank I'icliarda L'lii.irn Amnlnro of tlio ?i *U11 VUipiV'J V V/* HIV Byrd Printing company, residing at ~>2 West Lake St, Atlanta,came into Jacob's pharmacy and in relating his experiences with Tanlac said* "'About eighteen months ago, while I lived in Knoxville, Tenn, I made the statement that I wouldn't take SoCK) for the good Tanlac did me. Well, I just want to tell you I still feel the same way about it. I suffered with the most terrible case of stomach trouble, which had followed me for seven bug years and pulled me down almost to the point of despair. Tanlac gave me relief when everything else had failed and I can never forget it. "My diet was restricted to milk and occasionally a soft-lx)iledegg, and I would not dare to touch meats of any .kind. I was habitually constipated and extremely nervous. No matter what I would eat, I would always have an awful pain in my stomach,and this,with my stomach, kept me awake for hours every night My condition alarmed my wife, and I was almost at the turn of the road where I hadn't strength to follow my vocation. "I read about Tanlac helping so many people who were afflicted as I was, and I determined to try it. I started to the drug store one evening for my first bottle, and I was so ?1- cfrnnrwfon/1 on_ \YCilfc. HUlll V.'* cucii^ui tt.ivA w. ergy that I fainted. I managed to get back home after so long and started on my Tanlac, and the first few doses made me feel better. I continual improving, and,after taking the fourth bottle, there was a wonderful change in my condition. I found that I could eat just anything I .wanted, and, for the first time in years, I could eat boiled ham and potatoes and felt no ill after-effects. The pains all left my stomach, my nervousness 'disappeared land I could sleep like a child. My troubles all went away with those few bottles of Tanlac and left me j stronger and more energetic than I had l>een in years. Yes, sir,eighteen months have passed since Tanlac so wonderfully restored my health,and it gives me pleasure to tell you that I have no return of any of my old troubles to this good day,and I have kept my average weight all along. Tanlac made life a pleasure to me, and I go about my work with a feeling that reminds me of the days of my young manhood."

Rock Hill, October 3:?Perhaps the readers of The Record would like to know what the Williamsburg delegation at Winthrop is doing this year. Our number is much greater than it was last year, though of the thousand and fourteen enrolled only nineteen are from Williamsburg. Five of these are seniors, viz: Misses Louise Barr, Elizabeth Speigner, Jeannette Davis and Eugenia and Kate Roper. The juniors are: Misses Pauline Gordon, Grace Perry, Lucile Cooper and Minnie Strong. The sophomores are: Misses Daisy Strong, Edna and Rowena Eaddy. The freshmen are: Missses Virginia Wilson,Wista McElveen, Leora Gamble, Pauline McCants, Emma Lifrage, Lois Nesmith and Daisy Rollins.
