TICK ERADICATORS At WORK.
BrOOkhaVen Delegation Go to Jackson
10 GEL Tick Extinction for Lin.
COIh County.

The Mississippi Sanitary Live
Stock Board met yesterday at the
office of Commissioner Of Agricul-
ture BlakesIee, and was in session
several hours. Those present were
Gov. E. F.. Noel, Attorney General
lS., S. Hudson, Commissioner Blakes-
lee, j. w. Day, Of Crystal Springs;
j. M. Aldridge, of Michigan City;
DR.. James Lewis. of the veterinary
department Of the A. & M. College; !;
Prof. Archibald Smith, Of the de-
partment of Animal Industry of
the IA. & M. College; DR.. j. A..
Kiernan, veterinarian in charge Of
the United States Department of
Agriculture, Bureau Of Animal In
dustry; DR.. TAFT Butler, editor Of
the Southern Farm Gazette, and
the originator of the tick eradica-
tion methods now in use by the
government, and others.
The board was in session all day
and discussed everything pertain
| ing to the work that is before them
the determination Of the cattle
tick.
A strong delegation of citizens
of Lincoln county, headed by r. o.
Conant, secretary Of the Brook
haven Board of Trade, Edgar
Green, commissioner of agriculture
of that county, and Dr. Geo. A.
Love. w. M. Turnbough and F. F..
Becker, was before the board all
morning in an effort to have the
board begin the work of tick eradi-
cation in Lincoln at once. How
ever, it was determined that the
work would not be begun until the
entire county is under the stock
law. it having been discovered by
sad experience that it is impossi-
BILE to force compliance with con-
dit1ons where there is no stock law,
or where there is a partial stock
law, as is now the case in Lincoln
county. The representatives of
the county finally agreed to return
home and work on their board of
supervisors to have the entire coun-
ty put under the stock law, and it
is believed that it will be done.
1t has been made a rule with the
board that when the boards of sup
ervisors show an interest in the
matter the State and the govern
ment will take up the work. and
not until then, as there is always a
clash in authority and the machin-
Iery of the government does not run
smooth.
So far the ticks have been run
out of Tunica, Tate and DeSoto
counties, and the quarantines have
been lifted therein. The board is
now at work in Claiborne. Benton.
Marshall and others. and will begin
at once to work in about fifteen
other counties.
Mr.. Herman, representative of
the government, leaves Jackson to-
day for Columbus, and with other
government men, will begin work
at once over the county of Lowndes.

Death Of Mi. j. E. Sasser.

Redeemed Redeemed! O, JOY
that ! should be,
In Christ in Christ from sin for
ever free! r.
Heaven seems nearer since this
loyal Soldier of the Cross has laid
his armor down. There are deaths
where all seems gloom and shadow
and sorrow; but naught but glad
hallelujahs of victory, and paeans of
praise. at such a death as ended the
life of Mr.. Sasser on Friday morn
ing, should arise from those left to
rejoice that for him Death. verify,
had lost its sting the grave its
victory. There is nothing in the
way" /" he said, as he scanned the
path leading SO surely to the Father
a few hours before he completed
the journey. And this was a
glorious end, a fitting close. Of the
life he had lived. He was a
Christian in an ideal sense. What
more need be said?
"A noble man is missing from the
front ranks of the fight,
IA voice is hushed which never
spoke except for truth and
right. "
And no word of complaint or inn
patience through all the long days
and dreary nights, weeks. months,
years, of his terrible physical
suffering ever passed his lips. On
the other hand. perhaps he accom-.
plished the greatest good of his
life, while lying helpless;
through his own courage and con-
fIdence, his steadfast faith and
eternal hope, pointing every one
who came to his bedside to high
|er plane of Christian thought and
endeavor. And this he did in
directly unconsciously. No liv-
ing soul. with a spark of aspiration
for the nobler virtues, or admira-
tion for courage or fortitude, could
look upon him unmoved, in his
triumph of mind and heart, over
the physical wreck he was in the
last months of his trying ex-
perience. His giant spiritual
strength routed all mortal weak
ness, and made the common ills of
life, which so often fret and pro-
woke, mean and contemplate in
view of it. Life is richer now for
those he left behind. because Of
his heroic bearing; because of the
faith that he lived.
Mr.. Sasser was born at Bogue
Chitto. Nov. 80. 1858; was married
to Miss Fannie Stevens. at Wesson,
April 13, 1880. and died April 28..
1910.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted at the Baptist church Friday
morning by one who loved him as
David loved Jonathan. his pastor
through long years at Wesson and
in this city. Another. who will
cherish with sacred JOY memories
of what he was. his friendship and
his welcome, led the music: and
the songs he loved were sung as
the Spirit directed. After the sin
cere and beautiful tribute paid to
his mortal life. the body, accom-
panied by a number of Brookhaven
friends, was taken to Wesson and
inferred beside that of little
daughter who for years had lived
only in memory. Floral tributes
were numerous and beautiful.

and stronger manhood. to the three
splendid sons, the two loyal daugh-
ters, who all know the esteem of
our people, sympathy goes out
abundantly in the days of their
Loneliness without husband and
father.
And now. since the Life Triumph
ant has been so clear a revelation,
LET US hear the conclusion of the
whole matter: Fear God and keep
his commandments: for this is the
whole duty of man.

BaSeballLeague Planned

Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

CINCINNATI, O., Sept. Edward V.
Wnbern and Jefferson Livingston. the
Cincinnati baseball enthusiasts who
had it all planned out to take the star
players in the National and American
league on a short tour of American
cities this fall, announced here this
evening that they will soon leave for
Australia to go over propositions
which have been made to them to or
ganize a baseball league there.
Both Wilbern and Livingston are
very warm friends of Hugh Mcintosh
and Editor Corbett of the Sidney Ref

in Australia and viii go over the plans
for baseball league very much like
the National and American leagues in
this country.
I'VE have had propositions put TO us
to form a league in Australia to take
country" said Livingston here this
evening. The game of cricket is slow
ly dying out in Australia. where the
people want a more exciting game.
we have talked the matter over
with Chairman Hermann of the ma

from him the plans of the National
league. These will be taken with us
and used in Australia. We shall or
ganize a league and form company
to operate it. We wish to say that we
are not opposed to the organization in
this country"

COWBOYS THRILL
BIG FIESTA THRONG
Daring HOrsemen Ride Bucking
BuffalOes and BrOncOs
All Over Track
Especial Dispatch TO The Cali

SACRAMENTO. Sept 4.-Cowboys and
vaqueros supplemented with a goodly
number of Sioux Indians took the fiesta
of the dawn of gold by storm today and
for period of several hours enter
tanned 5000 persons Bronco busting
and horseback riding such as has never
been seen in this part OF the state be-
fore was given by the troop of Chey-
enne cowboys.
Every trick known to cowboys was
shown on the racetrack in front of the
grandstand. These stunts varied from
picking a handkerchief from the ground
at full gallop to a daring attempt to
ride two buffaloes, tame as lambs by
themselves but wild as the prairie with
a yelling cowboy astraddle. The best
riders from the troop were picked to
ride the buffaloes. Fitzgerald of Wy
on1ing first tried IL, and after having
his spine kinked several times from the
vicious plunging of the animal he was
tossed 10 feet over the beasts head.
Harvey Phillips of Old Mexico was the
next volunteer and came near being
hurled over the railing bordering the
track for his pains. The buffalo finally
succeeded in rolling him over and over
in the dust.
One of the most daring pieces of
work done was the riding of a wild
Nevada horse bareback and without
bride. The sagebrush bronco was as
wild as an outlaw, and after tearing
into fence gave his rider a rough jog
ging in an unsuccessful attempt to dis
lodge him. Some very clever work with
the lasso was shown during the exhi-
bition. Another pair of buffaloes driven
in team was one of the freaks pre-
scented by the wild west troop.
Tonight was given over to a pyro-
technic display, and many beautiful set
pieces in keeping with the Sabbath
were shown.
An ascent in a dirigible balloon was
made this morning and took the place
of the amateur aviation meet, which
did not materialize.
Charles K. Hamilton is slated to make
his first flight tomorrow, and with any
kind of success will be the big feature
of the week. He will fly in the morn
ing. and in the evening will race an
automobile several laps around the
track. The state fair harness races
also will begin tomorrow afternoon.

HARLAN MAY Head
SUPREME COURT
Friends Hope That Roosevelt
Will Urge Appointment as
Chief Justice

WASHINGTON. Sept. 4.-One effect of
Colonel Roosevelt's speech in criticism
of certain decisions of the supreme
court has been TO encourage the friends
of Associate Justice Harlan to hope
that the former president may urge
upon President Taft his appointment
to the vacant post of chief justice.
Justice Harlan alone dissented in
the decision of the court in the famous
Knight case, which was made even
more renowned by the criticisms heaped
upon it by Colonel Roosevelt.
Apart from the wish dictated by the
high esteem in which Justice Harlan is
held, nearly every one in Washington
believes that Governor Hughes will be
selected as the. successor 20 the late
Chief Justice Fuller.
The plan provides for the appoint
ment of Justice Harlan as chief jus
tice, with the understanding that he
retires at the end of the Taft admins
tration; the promotion of Hughes from
associate justice to the chief Justice
ship and the appointment of Solicitor
General Bowers as an associate justice
10 succeed dusheS Wnen eleNdleu
Justice Harlan is by far the oldest
member of the bench, being more than
II years of age. In a few weeks he
will have completed his thirtythiTd
year of service. June 10. 1912. several
months before the end of the present
administration, Justice Harlan will
have served longer on the supreme
bench than any other man in its his
tory. His services will have exceeded
that of Field, Marshall and Story. Hav
ing rounded his career with a service
as chief justice, il is understood that
Justice Harlan would be glad to retire.
