ancient and aristocratic legislative
body in which his ancestors some cen
turtles ago were conspicuous figures.
OF course every American knows about
the Fairfaxes Of Virginia and their
part in colonial history. The family
has been noted from the time of the
wars Of the roses. In the later times
Of Charles I. there was Sir Thomas
Fairfax who commanded the parlia-
mentary forces and Of whom Milton
wrote:
Fairfax, whose name In arms through Eu-
rope rings,
Filling each mouth with envy or with
praise.
The Fairfax peerage dates from 1927,
and Thomas. sixth baron of the line,
who left Scotland and settled in Vir-
ginia about 1880, was the man from
whom the famous Virginlan family is
descended. 1t was when he was sent
to London as the representative Of his
Wall street banking house that young
Fairfax decided to assume the family
title, rs he found that it would aid
him in a financial way. He was the
only one OF S0,OO0,OCO American citi-
Zcns to receive a command to attend
the coronation of King Edward.

hitherto been considered the chief
cause OF cattle mortality in South
Africa,
Kotch's cattle serum consists of a
chemical solution of blood taken
from animals that had the disease.
The NEGOTIATIONS are harmless and
eventually render the animal i'm
mune. 1t has been found possible to
combat horse disease by treating
healthy animals with the blood of
animals which have died and then
administering sci rum, whereupon
the animals experience a light at
tack of sickness, finally becoming
immune.
For his service Koch received
$3.50, 900 from the Rhcdesian gov
eminent. He declined rich offer
which would have involved his
leaving the service OF the German
government and settling permanent
tly in Africa.

How the Old Darky
Escaped Being Shot

B~HE late General John b. Gordon
and Governor Chandler of Geor-
giu were together in hotel in
Atlanta one day When Governor
Chandler asked the general if he had
ever known Il witty darby. YES"
said the general, "onc When General
Robert e. Lee was fighting Grant in
the last days an old darby besicgcd
headquarters with requests to see the
gin'ral.' He was turned away a dozen
times, but one day he succeeded in
reaching the guard Immediately in front
of General Lees tent and almost got
into the tent itself before he was stop
ped. The alteration which followed
was overheard by General Lee, who
called out, Let the man come inn Then
into the tent came the fellow, raw
boned, shambling gray headed, gnarled
old darby, who scraped the ground
with his foot and kept turning his hat
around nervously in his hand.
"'Weli, where do you belongY de-
manded General Lee.
L b'longs to y'r company, gin'ral,'
returned the darby.
NO, you don't declared the gen
era] sharply. Everybody in my com
pany has been shot. How is it that
you haven't been?
1.-THE darby scratched his head. Then
from his mouth came Il confidential
whisper: We'll, yo' see, gin'ral, it's this
way. amt been shot Gaze when
dey's fight goin' on l always stays

uts it, is this: "We are to be
allowed to ship slaughter cattle
with one dipping, but in marked
cars. If they are not for immediate
slaughter, but are stockers and
feeders they must have a second
dipping. When we get our cattle
to market, every one of them will
be classed as stockerS or feeders,
and the price will be run down on
us on that account. No matter
what grade or quality they are, the
buyers have the "cinch" on us as
soon as we get on the market, and
we will only get one classification.
! am going to put in a large tank at
once and start to dipping, and get
within the regulations. That is
the only thing to do and | will
make money by the proposition"
This man is an old shipper, and
has been through the mill often
enough to know what he is agalnsl
in selling his stuff, and hundreds of
others will find themselves in THAI
same place if they do not get their
tanks in readiness at an early date,
and it does not matter whether he
IS shipping corn fed stuff from the
southeastern part Of the state, or
grass cattle from the northwestern
part. The whole state is under
the ban, and will be treated alike.

the BANK CASE.

Let man achieve success OF any

"pickers" and "knockers at his

tuition, as was evidenced by a
statement in our contemporary this
week regarding a supreme court
decision in a case of the First Nat
ional Bank VS.. p. B. Mccarthy, ct

ments would lead one to believe that
the bank had been guilty Of the

CATTLE DIP.

c a tt lie dipping is the one
question which is probably re-
ceiving more di ssion in
South Dakota than any other
one proposition at the present
time. And it is not question
affecting the range section of the
state alone. Every shipper of
cattle whether he lives in Lincoln
or Butte county, or any Of the
counties lying between these two
is vitality interested. The govern
ment has taken hold of The situa-
ton, and has declared the whole
state to be affected with "Scabies'
or Texas itch, and has provided
regulations for the shipment Of
cattle out of the state. One of
the absolute requirements is
dipping, and a heavy penalty is
provided for attempts at violation,
by either individual S or railroad
companies. Cattle can b e
shipped for slaughter with one
dipping, but they must be shipped
in cars which are plainly marked
either "exposed cattle or "infec-
ted CATTLE" as the case may be.
The shipping bill accompanying the
cars must be also plainly marked
in the same way. This kind of
shipments apply only to slaughter
cattle, aud where they are stockers
or feeders they must be dipped a
second time. The government
requirements is for two clippings at
periods of from ten to twelve days
apart, and this alone will give the
shipper clear shipping bill.
While the cattle owners of the
state have been slow to realize the
situation, they are beginning to
wake up to it, and dipping tanks
are reported to be under construc-
ton at points all over the state.
The situation as one cattle man

victory over agrasping money loaner
AS a matter of fact the bank was
the victor and was awarded judg-
ment to recover certain loans made
to a gentleman who has been FIGHT
ing IN the courts for several years
TO keep from paying his deots.
The bank won the case in the
circuit court aud it also now wins
IN the supreme court. The judg-
ment awarded in the supreme court
however does not include interest on
original loan of $4,000 and upon
this point hinges the plea of usury.
When the loan was made the twelve
per cent interest law had not vet
been born and rate of eighteen per
cent (Which was very reasonable in
those days. had been given by the
bank as a special favor to the Dor
rover, Mccarthy, as he was on
friendly terms at that time with the
institution. Instead of paying the
loan when it become due he renewed
it from time to time until the new
rate law of twelve per cent came
into effect when the bank asked for
II settlement in order to clear up
the matter. Mccarthy refused to
settle. The bank agreed to com
promise matters in order to settle
and Mccarthy refused to compro-
mise. The IN q tier run along
unsettled until Mccarthy sold the
mortgaged property which was the
International Hotel. w h N the
transfer was made to the purchasers,
Mcclure and Tighe, the loan was
renewed at the then legal rate OF
interest but because Mccarthy, the
borrower, signed the new
loan with Mcclure a nd Tighe it
gave the debtors sort of chance to
plead usury which plea was made
without much loss of time.
In the decision just handed down
from the supreme court Judge
Hancy dissenting) the bank is
awarded the original loan $4,000,
taxes and interest on taxes which
the bank has paid since the original
loan was made, some $500, but is
no awarded any interest on its loan.
Atty. Whitfield who with Fowler
and Martin and Mason represented
the bank states that his clients are
entirely satisfied with the decision
and doubtless consider themselves
fortunate if they get anything back
at all.
