Columbia, May 20.?-The pestifer? ous cattle tick, that eminent blood? sucker and host of the Texas fever protozoan, is being made to carol ita swan song in many counties in South I Carolina. Under the direction of the bureau of animal industry of the de? partment of agriculture and of Clem son college 40 men have taken the field against the pest, which is the greatest drawback to successful cat? tle raising in the infested erea of South Carolina and of the other States. Walter K. Lewis, inspector in charge of the cooperative tick eradi? cation work of the department and of Clemson college in South Carolina, who passed through Columbia yester? day, told of the opening of the cam? paign against the cattle tick in a large part of the area still Infested by the insect Working slowly since 1907 on account of lack of funds, Clemson j college eradicated the cattle tick in 14 counties In South Carolina and the I department of agrlultcure raised the federal quarantine on cattle shipped from this territory. When Inspector Lewis and his field men finish mas secreing the tick In the remaining 30 counties of the State, the federal quarantines will be lifted from these. The work will take two or three years, the length f time depending upon the cooperation the cattle raisers give the tick eradlcatora sent out by the government and the college. Every cattle raiser In the State knows that it will msan a tremendous gain for the Industry to free the native cat? tle from the debilitating effects of the tick end to allow Importation of good stock without danger of death from Texaa never, to improve in-bred native heran. Dr. Lewis started actual field work April 1. He now has 4 # men out after the scalp of the cattle ticks. By June 1 he expects to have 60 men In the field, all trained experts who know their business. The field force under Dr. Lewis is now working in Rlchland, Newberry, Fa> -field, Chesterfield, Ker shew, Marloi., Dillon, Charleston, Florence and Lee counties. This week he will put tick eradlcatora on the job In Sumter and Lancaster counties. By July 1 the held force under Dr. Lewis | will invade Aiken, Edgetteld, Saluda, Lexington, Orangeburg and Calhoun counties on the trail of the tick. In the remaining counties ot the State, In most of which the open range la we are effective. Dr. Lewis is planning with the funds in hand to make a preliminary survey to And out the extent of infestation by the tick and take a census of the number of cattle raieere and the numl Pf of heads In their heard*. The advance men in the open range countlee will encour? age the building of dipping vats. Dr. Lewis now has over 100 applications I for the building of dipping vats in open range counties and is greatly encouraged try this show of interest on the part of cattle raisers in the low country. Under new regulations effective! May 1 the department of agriculture I will allow cattle from tick Infested territory to be shipped at all reasons of the year provided they are dipped under supervision of experts. "Ac? cordingly, Dr. Lewis hits arranged for the building of a big vat at Roysterj yards near Columbia, in which all cat? tle will be dipped before they start | on Interstate journeys to distant mar? kets from South Carolina ranges. A demonstration will be given soon at the Interstate vat at R oyster. Dr. Lewis has four field men and a veterinarian at work In Rlchland county new. So far in the parts of the county which they have visited they have found the Infestation light. Nevertheless cattle dipping vats will be located in several parts ot the county and war against the tick waged to the knife In Hichland as in all other counties of the State. Plnewootl Personals.

Manning, of Sumter, who is a can? didate for governor, passing through Columbia today to address tomorrow a Manning rally at Townville, 15 miles from Anderson, issued a brief statement on the primary reform ac? tion of the State convention in reply to published reports that he did not vote in the Convention. Mr. Manning stated that three members of the Sumter delegate .1 tb the State Convention voted for the majority report of the committee on constituion and rules, the three members being E. E. Aycock, L. D. Jennings and R. I. Manning. 4T was not in the hall," said Mr. Manning, "when the vote was put. to table the minority report of the com? mittee. Had I been present I would have voted to table this report and then would have waited to ask that the changes he made in the majority report in conformity with the views I expressed. "I stated before the Convention my position as follows: " 'The question of supreme impor? tance before the State is the matter of primary reform. It is absolutely necessary that when an election is held among the white people of this State, the result, as declared, must carry with it the conviction that the will of the people has been independ MEN Cured Forever By a true spe? cialist who possesses the experience of years.

On the other hand if drastic action is taken, I fear a split in the party may result. "I do not favor the change in the time of residence'required in the ma? jority report, but favor reducing the time for residence in the county from one year to six months. " 'On the matter of personal enrol? ment, I do not personally favor tho majority plan, but, recognizing the *t that differences of opinion exist on what should be done, and that we are all here to accomplish a definite object, that we have to give and take, I will vote for the majority plan for primary reform/ "The reason 1 favored reducing the time for residence in the county to six months was that so many farmers change their location from one county to another and this provision of one year's residence in a county would de prive many who are otherwise entitled to the ballot of the right to vote."
