EPIDEMIC kNoNC CATTLE
Is Puzzling the Citizens of Dallas
 County.

Special Dispatch to The Age-Herald.
 Selma Aug. 2O.-Mr. R. c. Callen one of Dallas county's prominent farmers and stock dealers, residing at Summerfeld, re- ports an epidemic among his cattle which in three days carried off three of his valu- able heifers in succession, which were in fine condition. MT. Callen, talking to an Age-Herald representative, says: "This disease in cattle is evidently epidemic. I have had three fine heifers to die on my farm in three days with the same symp- toms and while they were in good condi- ton, and I learn that similar deaths have occurred on other plantations. The symp- toms are that the animal Is suddenly seized with violent pains and dies quickly. I made an examination of one of my cows that died with the disease and found bloody matter in the bladder of the animal and the intestine spotted with black marks.
 The papers a few days since called att tention to fatal epidemic now raging among the cattle around Louisville, Ky. which the veterinary surgeons call "authrax." Perhaps that may be the disease here in Dallas. In this connecti n the Courier-Journal in its last issue gives the following item:
 Early yesterday morning, Mount John son. colOred, died of blood poisoning at his home on Union and Olden streets, New Albany. M
 Johnston had been in the employ of the dead animal contractor of New Albany and about three weks ago he took the hide from a COW that had died of an- thrax While at work, he was stung on the army by a green fly that had been observed buzzing around the carcass. A few days later, a small pimple appeared at the place on his arm where he had been stung by the insect. This developed into an apparently insignificant sore that stub bornly resisted all healing remedies, and last Sunday blood poisoning supervened The sufferings of the patient were terrible before he died.

A Worthy Aspirant

Mr. R. L. Surles of Surles, Crenshaw county, who was in the city today, said it was not at all improbable that Congress- man Stallings would have opposition for reelection.
 T have been away from home about week. said Mr. Surles, but heard that MT. Fonville of Crenshaw would probably be nominated by the popuists for congress in this district against Stalings. MT. Fon- vile is near neighbor of mine, and per-, sonally is a good man, honorable and up- right, but politically he is all wrong.
 MT. Fonville was at one time on the pop ulist state ticket for state office and was the recent candidate of the populist party in Crenshaw for probate judge but was defeated by the democratic candidate after a red hot fight

Aided a Murderer Escape

Jim Hanson a negro man, is in the coun- ty jail for aiding in the escape of a mur- derer. On the night that Henry Hall killed MT. James Belser at Pike Road-last Sat- urday night in fact-Hanson provided Hall with a mule and conducted the murderer @ distance of fifteen miles to a populous plantation and there left him. Hanson was seen returning home through Pine Level riding one mule and leading another. This aroused suspicion and the fact was reported to MT Sam Belser of this city, father of the murdered man, and he took Hanson and compelled the negro to conduct him to the place to which he had escorted Hall. Hanson was then taken to jail.
 As ye there seems to be no satisfactory clue as to the whereabouts of Hall, the murderer.

Something About the Standard Oil
Company's Right Hand Man,

1t costs anywhere from S.,200 to fig
ures ranging far beyond to get into
the oil business. To "get in" usually
means the first degree of wildcat"
and from farmer or group of farm
ers ''wildcatter" leases the, right to
drill, agreeing to give the owner of
the land one-eighth or one-sixth of
the production. When a well nears
what is called pay sand, the drillers
observe two strangers seated near by
quietly watching operations. They
are the scouts of the Standard Oil
Company ,and if oil is struck they rush
to the nearest point to telegraph the
news, and within a few days after a
string of wagons appears to unload
pipe to convey the oil to the Standard
refneries. A guager gives the we'll
owner ticket of credit for all oil
pumped, and when money is wanted
one Joseph Seep, of Pittsburg, agent
of the Standard, sends a cneck in pay
ment, hgured at the price the Stand
ard Company has announced the oil
market that morning.
Joseph Seep is peculiar representa-
tive Of a great corporation. He buys
and pays for everything the company
uses, and dispurses probably 500 ,OOO,-
600 a year. Seep's letterhead doesn't
indicate his position. There is moth
ing on it but his Office address. He
does not print his name on his check.
but uses the plain kind furnished any
one. His checks would be honored by
anybody in the oil company for S.
100000 without certification, notwith-
standing he never buys anything os-
tensibly for the Standard, and never
mentions the latter in his business
correspondence. That is part of the
mystery which the Standard throws
around its Observation-Disclosures
Press.

Protect the Pheasants.

Those who have the authority in
this State have released at different
times for few years past a large
number of English pheasants. They
are protected by law and it is the duty
OF all, whether sportsman or not, to
bring to justice every one who kills
these specimens now at large. A few
years hence the birds w.. nave so in
creased in numbers that they will af-
ford great sport to the lovers of the
gun and table delicacy second to
none in toothsomeness. Every one is
interested in the experiment, and IL
every one Is alive to his own interests
he will see that these birds are let
alone until they have established
themselves in the woods and fields of
the State. Bring to quick justice ev-
cry man who kills one Of the ring
necked pheasants. 1t will be a duty
well done.-Commercial Tribune.
