cotton has been picked in the last

since that crop began to be a great

DR.. TAFT Butler, the State Venterian,
regarding the extension of the terri
tory in North Carolina free from the
cattle ticks, says: "It really looks
as if he will get a big increase in the

tell definitely until the reports from
the inspectors come in. A Federal
inspector is now in the State at work,
and so far has inspected the conn
ties of Wilkes, Surry, Catawba. Lin

1t seems that we are to get most of
these exempted. This is a matter of
very great Importance to cattle grO;v-
ers. If the latter will take hold
of matters and really have faith in
what we are trying to teach them
about the tick and it's deadly work
and about its effect as regards prices
of cattle and possibility of shipping |

enlargement of the free territory
could be quickly made. Here is Wake

finds an unstamped letter in box and
the required amount of postage also
deposited, he is required to affix the
necessary stamp. Patrons depositing
money in boxes should wrap it secure

does not agree with the recommended

carriers should be permitted to add to
their salaries by doing an express bus
mess. Mr.. Payne thinks that the
law which permits this ought to be
repealed. and the salaries of carriers
ought to be raised to living wage.
1t is clear that something should be
done. when 5000 carriers resigned
last year because they could not live
on their salaries. Invariably it is
the best carrier that resigns first as
he can get more pay for work else
where.
So long as carriers do not neglect
their duties to the department. it
could do no harm to carry small par-
cells from town to country. or neigh
Dor to neighbor. for small fee. In
this way the revenue would be in
creased. The pay is poor enough ct
