era Eradication In County.

In response to a call published
in this paper by Dr.. T. j. Woods,
President, and j. A. Line, Sec
retary of the Sharp County Live
Stock Association, large num-
Der of farmers met at the court
house Saturday afternoon. The
circuit court room was we'll filled
with representative citizens from
different sections of the county,
it being easily noticeable that
Big Rock and Strawberry town.
ships were the best represented
of any in the county,
The meeting, which was pre-
sided over by Dr.. Woods, was
called for the purpose of seour-
ing the cooperation of the farm
ers with the Live Stock Associa-
ton in the eradication of hog
cholera by means of vaccination
and quarantine and, after w. T.
Campbell OF Poughkeepsie, in
the absence of Mr.. Line, had
been made secretary, the object
of the meeting was stated.
John l.. Askew of Sullivan
township was the first speaker,
and he was frequently applauded
when he criticised the proposed
movement as a hardship upon
the public. He declared the
move meant only that some man
should have a good, fat job at
the expense of the public. He
was caustic in his criticism Of
the cattle tick eradication work
in this county, and his remarks
on this line were cheered loudly.
M. d. Barnett OF Poughkeep-
sic and others made addresses
in which they protested against
the appointment Of a Deputy
Veterinarian for this county with
authority to vaccinate and quar-.
antine hogs. All the speakers
brought in the cattle tick ques.
ton, and cattle spraying was
found to be an unpopular thing
with the crowd.
Mr.. Barnett offered the follow
ing resolution, which was so
unanimously adopted that the
negative vote was not taken:
"Resolved, that it is the sense
Of this meeting that we object to
any and all forcible means by
Deputy Veterinarian to quaran.
tine our hogs"
After the adoption Of the reso.
luton above, and after some
discussion Of the matter, the fol-
lowing resolution was presented
and adopted:
"Resolved, that at a meeting
Of the Live Stock Association OF
Sharp county, held at Evening
Shade on Nov. n, 1909, we ask
our next legislature to appropri.
ate q sum sufficient to defray the
expense Of placing the necessary
quantity of serum at each coun.
ty seat in the state to combat
hog cholera, free to all parties
having cholera hogs"
The adoption Of this resolution
furnished the last business for
tho meeting and adjournment
was had Immediately after.
