Yor4<vilIe's sewerage enterprise is
beginning to look like a bigger under
taking than most people at first sup
posed.
The farmers Of some sections have
been complaining Of too much rain.
Others say the seasons, up to this time,
have been very satisfactory.
Rain interfered with the attendance
on the picnic at Jackson's Shoals last
Saturday; but a considerable crowd
that was present had a pleasant day
Of -.
With fried chicken plentiful, water
melons and canteloupes plentiful, fruit
plentiful, vegetables plentiful, there is
no reason why the convassing candi-
dates should not have most delight
full time this summer.
The county board of commissioners
will hold their regular monthly meet
ing tomorrow and the probability Is
that it will announce the conclusion
at which it has arrived with reference
to the employment Of an engineer.
People desiring registration certifi-
Gates should bear in mind that they
are required to apply in person. Pre-
sentation Of an old registration certifi-
cate does away with the formality Of
taking the constitutional oath again.
One of the most interesting features
Of the senatorial campaign is the at
tacks Of Mr.. Grace on the Democracy
of Mr. Rhett and Mr.. Rhetts replies
thereto. Mr.. Grace is the leader Of the
faction in Charleston politics opposed
to Mr.. Rhett.
The Chester county authorities nave
done a good thing in the application
of the law requiring a license of $lOO
a. day for so-called carnival shows.
This seems to offer some encourage
ment to hope that relief from these
nuisances is now in sight.
FiIbert, Gold Hill and Tirzah. These
are the places Of the biggest picnics OF
the summer There will be others, OF
course; but as a rule nowhere else are
the crowds as large as at the places
mentioned And no other places can
boast Of so much politics.
The third baseball game Of the Sc
ries between Clover and Fort Mill is
to be played at Glover on next Friday
afternoon. Owing to the fact that
each team has one game to Its credit,
unusual interest attaches to the COM
ing event, and should the weather be
favorable it is probable that one Of the
largest crowds that has assembled at
Clover in several years to witness a
ball game, will be on hand.
The county board of commissioners
is under promise to take the chaingang
to the Turkey creek section Of the
Rutherford road within the next few
weeks, provided the people out that
way lay down a sufficient quantity Of
rock to keep the plant busy. If the
Rutherford people fail to get up the

The Texas cattle fever tick is a
transmtter of the disease known as
splenetic or Texas fever, commonly
known among farmers and cattlemen,
as distemper, big gall, Spanish fever,
red water, etc. These conditions are
all brought about by the bite Of the
tick, which carries within it's body the
germ causing this condition in cattle.
This disease cannot be naturally trans
mitted except through this tick. The
tick is the medium in which the dis
ease is carried the same as the yellow
fever mosquito is the medium in which
the germ of yellow fever is carried.
So it is at once seen that it is neces-
sary to do away with the tick in order
to get rid Of the disease. This tick is
naturally a cattle tick, except in rare
instances it may infeSt horses and
mules. 1t depends entirely upon cattle
for it's development. If it does not find
cattle or is kept off cattle for period
of time the young tick dies of star
vation upon the pasture.
