LIFE OF CATTLE TICK.
PICKT* Tit \NSMIT PROTOftOA
WHICH t At si: Ti:XA8
Parasite* Are (Irvatowt I tarrer to
fcssWbWsn1 Cattle Kahdng In In?
fected Territory.
Clemson collefo and the federal
bureau of animal industry are mak?
ing preparations (or going gunning
after the cattle tick in the 29 coun?
ties In South Carolin* still infested
with the pest and consequently below
the quarantine line. The cattle tick
Is admittedly the greatest obstacle In
the way of the development of the
< uttle ralsieg Industry in South Caro?
lina. W. K. I<ewls of the bureau of
animal Industry will marshal the
forces of Clemson college and the
federal department of agriculture in
the war which Is to begin soon against
the tick. The general assembly o.
Mouth Carolina appropriated $.10,000
fop lick eradication work which will
he supplemented by funds from the
federal department.
The tick which Is making all this
trouble is a parasite which transmits
the gorm. causing Texus fever, Into
the blood of cattle in precisely tho
aume manner a* the malarial plaa
modla are transmitted into the human
? u < ulatory system by anopholes mos?
quitoes. Like malarial plasmodia, the
Tesas fever germs are protosoa, the
lowest form of unl-< ellnlar animals.
Th* protozoa which cause Texas fovor
are tailed piroplasma blgemlnum.
Thev Invade the red cells In the blood
of cattle, causing them to deteriorate
and finally break up. The successive
stages of the development of the
protosoa In the blood cells ure very
much like those of the malarial plas?
modia.
The fully developed and fertilized
female, being engorged with blood
and ready to lay her eggs, loosons her
hold on the bovine anlrnal snd drops
to the ground. Upon reaching the
ground she may lie quietly for several
days before depositing her eggs,
which may consume from four to
eight days In summer and two weeks
or even longer In the fall. Tho num?
ber of eggs laid by a fully developed
female varies from 1.500 to 3,000.
white the Immature females also lay
eggs, but In much smaller numbers.
After laying Is finished the female Is
small and shriveled up and, having
fulfilled her mission, soon dies. The
eggs, which are light brown und waxy
In appearance, proceed to develop the
larvae, or seed ticks, the time re?
quired for which varies from 13 days
to six weeks, depending on the con?
dition* of temperature, moisture, noil,
etc. These eggs, however, are very
tenacious of life, and tinder unfavor?
able conditions may romaln dorirant
for several months, especially In the
early spring.
The larvae, or seed ticks, are mir. ute
six-legged parasites of a brownish
waxy color, and about 1-33 of an
Inch in else. They crawl quite ac?
tively about on tho ground and among
leaves, bunching in 1 irgo numters
upon grass blades, shrubs, weeds and
Igest! posts, to await an opportunity
for attachment to their passing h >st.
The parasitism is so perfect that In
case no cuttle or horses arc present
io> furtbvr development o< gfsnsj and
death finally results. It is known,
however, that these, larval forms can
li\e for three or four months on the
ground in warm weather Independent
of th? ir host, and from late Septem?
ber until April during an open win?
ter. When they find cattle, however,
they fasten themselves to the soft
skin Inside the thighs and flunks, on
the escutcheon, along the belly and
brisket, around the rent of the tail,
and irtMlde the forelegs. They obtain
their nourishment by drawing blood
from tho host, and can cause the
leeef at this stage, although so small
as scarcely to be detected by tho
naked eye.
After be.ng on the animal about

take up the infected blood, but only
through the generation descending
from them.
Although young ticks are very ac?
tive neither they nor the adult ticks
are capable of crawling very far, but
they may be transported long dis?
tances by animals, by rains, by winds,
cattle cars, hides, and on clothing of
man. Hence the constant danger that
tick-free pastures below the quaran?
tine line may become infested with
ticks at any time.

ACCIDENT AT DUE WEST.
Balcony Collspsc* at Woman's Col?
lege.
Due West, April 17.?The collapse
of the balcony in the new auditorium
of the hall of the Womans college to?
night prevented the presentation of
the cantata "Queen Esther." Just as
the performance started and with the
house full the balcony supports gave
way and several oorsons sitting under
the balcony were injured. Only W.
F. Vermlllion of Donalds was se?
riously hurt, and it is not thought that
he Is fatally injuro?. The Woman's
college girls occupying the balcony es?
caped injury. This auditorium is
probably one of the best college au?
ditoriums in the State, and has just
been completed at a cost of $25,000,
and the accident, which was so nearly
serious, causes much damage.
President B. L. Hohinson of the
Woman's collego issued the following
statement:
"After a thorough investigation 1
find that no college girls were injured
in the unfortunate accident in the
alumnao hall tonight. Forty or more
girls were taking part in the cantata
and were in the music studios in the
rear of the stage. Only about 80 girls
wer? In the balcony when the acci?

DEPENDS ON GOVERNOR.
SECRETARY <)l' WAR WAITING
FOR ANSWER IHOM HLKASK.
(?unison Says Islv or Palms Will Be
Site If Menne Takes Back Letter.
Washington, April 17.?But for the
fact that Gov. Blease has failed to
signify officially to Secretary of War
Garrison his (the governor's) willing?
ness to have the troops of other States
and of the United Su.tes come to
South Carolina for the encampment of
the National Guard next summer, de?
claring also that this expression of
willingness supercedes a previous
communication from Gov. Blease ob?
jecting to the sending of troops to
South Carolina without his consent,
the encampment would now be fixed
for the Isle of Palms, instead of seem?
ing lost to South Carolina.
On the 9th of April the governor
wrote to Secretary Garrison asking bv
what authority it was assumed to
send troops into South Carolina. When
Congressman Whaley vent to the de?
partment early in the week to find out
why tho designation of tho Isle of
Palms had been revoked he was con?
fronted with this letter that under the
circumstances the encampment would
not bo held anywhere in South Caro?
lina.
A telegram was sent to Governor
Blease. and he replied to the Secre?
tary of State that the encampment at
the Isle of Palms would be satisfactory
to him aa governor. Secretary Gar?
rison then telegraphed to know If this
communication was to be understood
as taking the place of the letter of
the 9th. The rejoinder of the govern?
or was in the negative, and declared
that he stood on that letter as It has
been written. Secretary Garrison then
immediately decided to send the en?
campment t? another State, and the
order was actually issued, but at Con?
gressman Whaley's request the Sec?
retary had the order held up for
twenty-four hours.
Tonight Mr. Garrison told The
News and Courier correspondent that
he would not act finally on the matter
until tomorrow. That he wlil do so
then there is no doubt, unless the
governor answers so as to eliminate
the letter of the 9th, the encampment
Is gone.

Gov. Blease said the statement that
he had made.any objection to the en?
campment beln^ held in this State was
false, and he wired Secretary of War
Garrison us follows: "In response
to a telegram received today
from Congressman Pvyncs I wire you
I have no objection to encampment
being held In this State. This has been
my position all the time as true record
will show."
Decision in the matter is to be

ATTACK OH MITCHELL.
BULLET MEANT FOR MITCHELL
SERIOUSLY WOUNDS CITY
ATTORNEY.
Assailant Says He Was Incensed Be?
cause He \Vns Refused Audience
With Mayor.
New York, April 17.?In an attempt:
to take the life of Mayor John Purroy
Mitchell today, Michael P. Mahoney,
an apparently irresponsible, elderly
man, who later said be was a black?
smith out of work, fired into a group
of three men seated in the mayor's
automobile on Park Row at the east
side of the City Hall park. The bul?
let entered the jaw of Frank L. Polk,
corporation counsel, who was sitting
next to the mayor. With blood spurt?
ing from his mouth, Mr. Polk was
taken into the City Hall and after?
wards to a hospital, where, it was said,
the wound would not prove fatal.
Mahoney shot at the mc.yor, he de?
clared tonight, because he felt ag?
gravated at the executive's "extrava?
gant expenditures" and because he
was incensed at being refused an au?
dience with the mayor on two occa?
sions this week when he came to ap?
ply for a municipal job.
Pefore Mahoney could fire a second
shot he was overpowered by Detec?
tive Geo Neun, who, in the capacity
of cha; ffeur, was adjusting robes
about the men in the autor..obile. Tho
mayor sat in the middle of the back
seat with Mr. Polk on his right and
Geo. V. Mullan, the mayor's former
law partner, on his left. The bullet
passed so close to Mayor Mitchell that
the left side of his face was scorched.
Standing within a few feet of Ma?
honey was Police Commissioner
Woods, who was waiting for the
chauffeur to get into the car, intend?
ing to sit beside the driver.
To bystanders, the sound of the re?
volver shot and the sight of the aged
man who did the shooting, sprawled
on the pavement as ho was borne
down by De eCtlve Neun, seemed al?
most simultaneous. The sight of
Mayor Mitchell steadying the stagger?
ing figure of Mr. Polk then detached
itself from the picture. Within a
short time the City Hall plaza and
Park row were flooded with a surging
crowd and police reserves were called
out.
As soon as he had seen that Mr.
Polk received medical attention Mayor
Mitchell went to the police station and
questioned Mahoney.
"Why did you shoot at me " he
asked. The prisoner's answer was in?
coherent and to the effect that he had
nothing to say. Cowering before his
questioners he seemed hardly to know
what he had done. He wore a ragged
fringe of white beard and was clad in
an ill-fitting suit.
While the police were trying to learn
the man's name, which he persistently
refused to give, a jostling crowd
packed the plaza.
"Where's the assassin? Lynch him,"
some of them cried. It was thought
at fho time that the corporation coun?
cil had lost most of his lower teeth
and that the jawbone had been pierc?
ed in two places by the bullet, but a
later report from the hospital stated
that only one tooth had been knocked
out, and that unless blood poisoning
set in, the wound would not prove
serious.
Mahoney underwent a searching ex?
amination at police headquarters at
tho hands of Police Commissioner
Woods, District Attorney Whitman
uid others. As he was led to the am?
bulance that took him to police head
I
quarters the crowd lunged forward,
menacing and loud-voiced, but the
police drove them hack.
The automobile which the mayor's
party was entering was to take them
to lunch. In thirty seconds the car
would have started. When the party
approached the car Mahoney, who nad
been attending a noon meeting of the
unemployed and the Industrial Work?
ers of the World nearby, saw that
Mayor Mitchell was within a lew feet
of him. As the mayor took his seat
Mahoney drew a revolver from his
coat pocket and shot.
According to his own story, Mahon?
ey had tried to see tho mayor last
Monday, but had been unable to ob?
tain an interview. His idea, he said,
was to eriticiso Mayor Mitchell for the
"extravagant expenditures*1 of his ad
, ministration and incidentally to ask
for a job.
His repulse embittered him, and
when he came back Wednesday it was
with the intention of killing the may?
or. He thought better of his pur?
pose on this occasion, however, and
deferred the attempt. Today ho de?
termined to act.
Two letters taken from Mahoney's
pockets, one addressed to Mayor
Mitc hell and tho other to Mayor Arm?
strong, of Pittsburgh. Pa., for the
most part were unintelligible, but it
was evident that the writer was trying
to voice a protest against the police
bills recently urged by Ma vor Mitchell
at Albany and other municipal activi?
ties.
In these letters Mahoney appeared
u be agitated by the attempt to get
!eo w Gocthuts to take the police
comm?Hrtonerthlp.
"He knows less about police work
?as much as a boy of 12 or 14," was
one of the disjointed statements in the
letters, referring to Col. Goethals, and
continuing:
"Also knows lots of engineering as
twelve or fourteen-yoar-old-boy.,"
The letter then launched into a gen?
eral attack on Col. Goethals.
Among other things Mahoney told
the police he was born in Ireland;
that at one time he was worth moro
than $100,000, and tiat he had gone
heavily into real estate speculation. He
had spent a number of years in
Pittsburgh, he added, and had lived in
New Orleans. For the last ten years
he had lived in New York. Once he
said he was sorry he attempted to
shoot the^nayor. Mahoney will be ar?
raigned tomorrow.
DARLINGTON HORSE SHOW. *
Last Day's Programme Concluded Fri?

More Prlxee.
Darlington, April 17.?The remain?
ing 15 classes, scheduled to show
Thursday afternoon and evening, were
pulled off tonight In the presence of
a good crowd despite weather con?
ditions that wer? very threatening
about the hour of starting. Under
many electric lights, the fine steeds
showed to splendid advantage and
the interest of the crowd never lag?
ged. The show has been the greatest
that Darlington ever saw, and when
It is remembered that for years past
Darlington has been holding an an?
nual horse show that has attracted
great attention in this part of the
State it will be seen that this Is say?
ing a great deal, and the show which
has just closed has enhanced the al?
ready genuine local enthusiasm for
fine horse flesh.
The championship classes were
shown at the close of the programme
this evening. Foxy Phil, owned by
D. D. Witcover of Darlington, de?
barred from showing in several
classes, because he had previously
won three blue ribbons, won tho
championship for the best three-galt
ed saddle horse, ridden by Noel
Kirven. The championship in the
five-galted classes was awarded to Au?
tocrat, the wonderful saddle horse be?
longing to Geo. D. Shore of Sumter.
The crowning event of the evening
and of the entire show was the
Lawson, belonging to J. N. Kirven of
champion harness class won by
Darlington and driven by Miss Mary
Kirven. Miss Kirven drove against
her father and her brother, both of
whom handled blue ribbon horses.
The award of this cup to her met with
the approval of the large crowd, at?
tested by the applause she received.
In spite of delays occasioned by the
weather once or twice, the horse show
was a great success. Much of this is
due to the universal approval of the
excellent work of Judge Shields.
Sumter horses won prizes In the
following classes:
Class 15, five galted combination,
open to world: First, Jack O* Lantern
(Riley Rawley, Greenville); second,
Monona (D. D. Moise, Sumter); third.
Autocrat (Geo. D. Shore, Sumter.)
