behind. But it is hopeless to expect
to accomplish anything while the cat
tie range in the open woods. They
must be in pastures which can be con-
trolled, and the ticks starved out, or
we shall not be able to get rid of
them
The first skirmish in new war
for the benefit of the live stock in
terests of the South was begun in the
last session of the U. S. Congress by
the passage of an appropriation OF
some $4,000 to begin the work of
eradicating cattle ticks and Texas
fever This money was secured by
the united efforts Of Southern repre-
sentatives and senator's, in which
Georgia did her full share. The sec
ond step necessary was to secure the
cooperation of the states and COM
munities where this warfare could
best be waged. Fortunately, Georgia
had good law under which both
Federal and State authorities could
work, and will therefore secure good
share OF the general appropriation.
Three counties of the state, Rabun,
Towns, and Union, have been above
the quarantine line for some years,
and the government plans to take
tier of counties Immediately around
and below them, and start the work
of lowering the line, pushing the ticks
toward the Gulf of Mexico. DR.. L.
A. Klein, Of Clemson College, S. c.,
was made special representative OF the
Federal Bureau of Animal Industry,
to install the work in Georgia, with
the help of the Assistant Commission
er of Agriculture, Capt. R. F. Wright,
of Atlanta, and the Georgia Expert
ment Station through Director Red
ding and the writer. I had the pleas
ure of being called, with Capt. Wright
and DR.. Klein, to make a trip two
weeks since through the mountain
counties of North Georgia where the
first work is contemplated. We took
train to Jasper, the county seat of
Pickens, beginning there and work
ing eastward to the South Carolina
line The meetings had been ar
ranged for in advance by DR.. Klein
and Pickens county was ready for
work with a welcome. The newspa-
pers were all kind in printing notices,
which leads me to remark that more
unselfsh and unrepaid work for the
good of the state is done by the county
and agricultural papers than any other
class Of people in the world. The
farmers who assembled at the court
house to hear Our talks, were asked to
sign a petition to the State Depart
ment of Agriculture, requesting the
placing of a quarantine line at the low
er line of the county, and incidentally
promising their help and cooperation,
which they signed gladly. A local in
spector, man of enterprise and in
tegrity, who was promised the support
of the people, was appointed in each
country that accepted the provisions.
These inspectors will be charged with
the duty Of enforcing the quarantine

our lunch and let the horses blow.
At eleven o'clock we reached the
Dawson county court house. There
we found in addition to Our meeting
on quarantine matters, the school COM
missioners had also called the scholars
and patrons of the schools to listen to
a contest between the boys and girls
with recitations and orations. The
two meetings were easily combined,
and both had the benefit of larger
crowd than perhaps either alone.
Capt. Wright and the Doctor were in
weighed into acting as judges of the
contest. We then held our meeting
on cattle ticks, and again secured the
gratifying result of hearty co-opera
ton.
Leaving Jacksonville after as fine
supper from the county hotel as man
ever ate, or woman either, we drove
fifteen miles further, reaching the
town of Dahlonega about 10 at night,
Saturday. You may be sure we
slept somewhat late next morning,
and rested thankfully during the Sab
bath in that quaint little city Of mines
and schools. Dahlonega is feeling the
general prosperity of the country, like
all other mountain towns in fact, and
is progressing we'll. One of the most
convenient things in the county is the
location Of the post office in the
court house, something I had never
found before. The people seem anx-
ious for railroad facilities, but do re-
markedly we'll with teams and good
roads, to keep them in touch with
the, rest of the world. The carriages
and teams are built for use in that
section, and vehicles more comforta-
bic for travel, and the horses harder
than perhaps any other part of the
state.
Our party expected much encourage
ment from Dahlonega and Lump
kin county, but were doomed to dis
appointment. The farmers came to
our meeting Monday morning, but
soon showed antagonism to the plans
intended for their own good. We
presented our arguments in the best
manner possible, but they voted they
| would have none of it at this time
The leaders explained that they de-
sired liberty to go back and forth
to Gainesville, which could not be done
without taking both Lumpkin and
Hall counties. There was no au-
thority to take Hall county, as this
would have made a tremendous hump
on the proposed line, and we were
sorrowfully compelled for the present
to leave Lumpkin as we found her.
Early Tuesday morning we took
carriage team for Cleveland, trip of
20 miles. A recent cloudburst on the
Choestatee and other mountain
| streams had flooded the valleys in
manner never known before by the
oldest inhabtant; several power dams
had been broken, many bridges wash
ed away, and the water was five to
eight feet higher than the highest

for fever eradication. Reports show
ed something like 300 farmers from
the northern sections of the county
who had stated that they favored
the plan, but were unable to reach
Cleveland to attend the meeting on
account of washed bridges. We held
our meeting about noon, secured
sufficient signers to the petition, and
appointed the usual Inspector to car
ry forward the work. At 4 o'clock
we started for Gainesville. On both
sides Of the road we found some rich
spots of land, lovely valleys, church
and school house communities, and
everybody very busy pulling fodder.
It was beautiful drive, both in
scenery and in noting the possibilities
of the country, and would be revela-
ton to any who think mountain farms
poor and desolate We found goodly
numbers of summer tourists from
Florida and all parts of Georgia still
at the hotels.
At Gainesville, we seemed to get
back to the noises of so-called civil
cation again, with the railroad at
hand, and people hurrying to and fro.
Superior court was in session during
the week, and Judge Kimsey kindly
extended the noon recess to permit
our party plenty of time to hold the
farmers meeting in his court room.
There was a good crowd and every
body interested. The counties that
have all or part of their lands under
stock law we're easier to work, and
this will be found unquestionably
great help in clearing ticks. With
the gathering of Habersham county
in the quarantine fold, Our first trip
ended. The new county of Stephens
was almost overlooked, but a meeting
was called for Toccoa on the 10Th
inst, and Our trio of workers gath
cred again to present salvation from
ticks, and it was needed and accepted
by the community. This makes
splendid line of five counties in
row, with one loopho1e only. Lump
kin county. Fannin and Gilmer coun-
ties were also hard at work, having
petltioned for inspectors last spring.
DR.. A. J. Payne has now succeeded
Dr. Klein as Expert from the Bureau
Of Animal industry in charge of Geor-
! gia work, coming from the same
work in Virginia. He will have head
quarters in Atlanta, and is to have
three Assistant Veterinarians from
the Bureau to help in the field, be-
sides eleven local inspectors in the
various counties The new quaran-
tine bounds will soon be declared,
and the work of killing cattle ticks
begun. Perhaps it will become so in
teresting that politics can be laid
aside for awhile. Various methods
of eradication will be used, killing
ticks on the cattle by picking, greas-
ing and spraying; and also pasture
rotation methods to starve out The
seed ticks by keeping cattle away
from them for a certain length of
time. The Federal Bureau and the

NAVY READY FOR EMERGENCY
Movement Toward Peace in Cuba Is
Well Under Way.

Washington, Sept. 1S.-Commander
Colwell of the cruiser Denver, at Ha-
yana, telegraphed the navy depart
ment that all was quiet in Havana.
Hostilities formally ceased Sunday
and a definite settlement of the trou-
bles seemed possible. The reassur-
ing dispatch, together with the visit
of Secretary Taft and Acting Secre.
tary Bacon, indicates that the move
ment toward peace in Cuba is well IN
der way. At the same time no changes
have been made in the naval program.
The Louisiana, Virginia and New Jer-
sey are now on their way to Havana.
The Newark sailed from Norfolk and
the Minneapolis will sail from League
island today. With the force already
ut Havana and that which will be
there in a few days the navy depart
ment feels assured that II will be am
ply able to prevent any trouble in
Havana, and 1t appears that the move
ment OF such a force toward the Gu
ban capital was due to the fact that
there was grave danger to the capital
OF Cuba.
Every confidence Is felt at the navy
department In the force which has
been sent to Cuba to meet any situa-
tion which arises. While there is a
pacific feeling, preparations are 60
1ng forward by the war department to
meet anything that may arise II it
should be necessary for a strong force
TO intervene. 1t is stated that troops
and transports will o be available
and only await orders in case the mis-
sion OF Secretary Taft fails and hos,
tilities are renewed and are beyond
the control of the Cuban government

Havana, Sept. 18.-The only results
thus far Of President Palma's order
for the suspension of hostilities have
been that liberal leaders, who hitherto
have had every reason for anticipat
ing arrest, are circulating openly In
Havana again and even ~conferrine
with members of the government with
regard to peace and that such insur'
gents in the field as have been o n
suited, while they express themselves
as agreeable to settling matters ami
cably, at the same time assume an
independent attitude which cannot be
said to bide particularly well for a
promp settlement of existing Difficult
ties.
In the meantime Cienfuegos is In q
state of siege, communication by tele.
graph being severed, not only in the
direction of Havana, but to Santiago
as well. II Is known that Cienfuegos
had not been attacked up to midnight
Sunday, but what has transpired since
that time Is not known here. All &C
counts agree that there are easily g.,
600 insurgents a few miles southeast
of Havana, and INT are in circula'
ton that they will enter the city
peaceabiy, If they are not molested,
but that they will fight If they meet
with resistance. All visitors to insur'
gent camps in Havana province re-
turn with this impression, but it is be-
1ieved no attempt will be made
against Havana until the arrival OF
Pine Guerra's force, which now is va
riously reported to be from twenty to
forty miles distant. The general i'm
preston is that the presence in Ha.
