LIGHT AS BARRIER TO EELs.

The Danish government has begun an interesting effort to aid the fish, ermen of the Baltic by preventing the migration of cells from that sea into the ocean. The means employed Is a 'barrier of light" formed by placing fifty electric lamps along a submerged cable between the island of Fano and the coast of Funsn.
 The effectiveness of such barrier depends upon the fact that the cells migrate only during the dark hours. Accordingly, as soon as darkness be- gins, in the season of migration, the lamps are Illuminated, and thus a wall of light is interposed from which the cells recoil. A similar prin- ciple is said to have been employed
 from time immemorial by fishermen on certain parts of the coast of Italy.

1.-THE $4,000 reduction on cotton rata.
| last year could be justified on ifa rr,er
| It's, and the $750,0O0 which unneces
sarily went to personal injury claim
lawyers could have been retained BY
the railroads, then reduction OF one
and one-half million dollars in freight
rates could have been made with no
more loss to the railroads.
This large amount OF money being
paid out on personal injury claims,
practically half OF which goes to law
yers, Is permissible under the laws as
they stand today. but | contend that
this should not be- and that the mat
ter OF compensation to lawyers hand
ling claims against the railroads. the
servants OF the people, should be reg.
ulated by fixed fee or placed under
the control Of the railroad commits
sioners to pass upon each case, the
same as they do upon each case where
compensation or regulation OF the rail-
roads Is concerned.
The earnings Of the railroads OF
Texas have been reduced until they
are lower than they should be under
a fair adjustment and lower probably
than many people think who do not
study them. The Frisco lines in Texas
last year earned $1224 gross for each
mile each day during the year, and
their net earnings were SLIT per day
for each mile. The average gross earn
ings OF all the roads in Texas were
$1S.75 per mile per day and the aver
age net earnings OF all the roads in
Texas were s4.20 day for each mile
Of road operated in the state.
A mile of railroad can not be built,
ballasted and equipped for less than
SIS, 900 to 100000. The average net
earnings per mile per day earned by
the railroads of Texas Is not as much
as the owner of good pair of mules
and wagon costing $1,000 would feel
justified in taking for the services of
his team and driver a day, and these
railroads cost $4,000 to $4,000 per
mile.
This shows clearly that the railroads
can not live and give the service that
the public requires without better
net return, which must necessarily call
for an advance in rates, but would
prefer to see the remedy accomplished
as far as it can be through economies
without hurting the service rather than
through rate advances.
In conclusion. want to say that the
railroads of the country are interested
in production and marketing and are
anxious to cooperate with the farmers
in every way they can toward bring
ing around better understanding and
better feeling between the two inter-
ests, which are natural partners, and
which should work together upon all
questions of common interest.

The butter, cream and milk eXhi-
bits at the COW show, were auctioned
off yesterday afternoon to the highest
bidders. They went for about $40.
- Bun Bridges candidly admits that
he is the man who made the butter
that was submitted by the creamery
for competition in the dairy products
exhibit.
- Big, little, younp and old, there
were nearly two thousand visitors in
Yorkville Wednesday on account OF
the COW show, and although Chief
Love was the only policeman on duty
there was not a single arrest. Better
than that, nobody saw any occasion
for an arrest.
There was an unusually large au-
dience at the opera house Wednes-
day evening on account of the tragedy

ence in the closest association, and the
making of butter being a fine art,
thoroughly qualified judges are rare.
The committee was fortunate and
happy in securing experts of the finest
class, both to judge the dairy pro-
ducts exhibit and the cows. Than
Mr.. Felix Williams of Villa Rica, Ca,
probably there is no more thorough
going dairy cow expert in the south
well up with his knowledge and ex-
perience. Wherever he is known in
his own state, or elsewhere, his judg-
ment and guarantees are accepted as
If they were backed by indemnity
bonds.
Mr.. c. B. Duffy, the general repre-
sentative of the De Laval Cream Sep
arator company has been in the but
ter business for many years, has act
ed as judge at scores Of fairs through
out the north and west, as well as in
the south, and he Is one Of those fell
lows who holds his art high above the
feelings of his best friends. Mr.. J.
M. Burgess, one of the professors in
charge of the dairy department at
Clemson, has loomed up during the
past few years as one Of the highest
and most expert authorities on butter
making and dairying generally. the
south has known, and his reputation is
growing steadily in the states adjoin-
ing.
Mr.. Duffy and Prof. Burgess, judged
the dairy products exhibit jointly, and
made thorough tests for the qualities
of flavor" body or texture" color, u
salt" and package. In a few in
stances the questions involved were so
close as to give rise to slight differ
ences that were settled by mutual con-
cessions; but in nine cases out Of ten
their judgment was exactly the same
All the exhibits were judge by
number in an impersonal way and the
identity of the exhibitor was not
known until judgment had been rem
dered and the numbers looked up.

TICK ERADICATION.

DR.. ]. Francis Fahey Of the United
States bureau of animal industry, with
headquarters at, Spartanburg, was In
Yorkville during the cow show, spread
ing the tick eradication propaganda.
Dr. Fahey is a very pleasant gen.
tleman, thoroughly up in the veterinary
profession and in his official work. and
the scores of people he met personal
ly found him interesting, entertaining
and instructive.
With a large Autographed chart on
the wall of the COW barn, DR.. Fahey told
those interested all they could want to
know about ticks Of all kinds, the
harmless ones and the deadly ones
along with the rest, and gave inter-
esting facts as to how the ticks are
propagated, how they do their harm
and how the cattle are affected by
them. When the tick people first
came into York county a few years
ago, they pursued their work with soft
ly gloved hands. That is they went
at all people gently, told them what
they were doing and why, and tried
to get them interested as best they
could. This was kept up for quite q
while. Some listened and needed; but
others paid no attention. Now the tick
eradication officers are taking off their
gloves for the benefit of the refrac-
tory.
Dr. Fahey told Of one case, where
when he found ticks on COW and in
structed the owner what to do, tbs
owner told him that it was all humbug
The pasture is about half mile from
the house and the way is along the
public road The doctor promptly
quarantined the COW in the pasture
and now the people who do the milk
ing have to walk to the pasture night
and morning.
Another case is where the pasture Is
across the road from the house. The
owner of the COW and pasture had
paid no attention to ticks, notwith-
standing repeated warnings. His COW
is now quarantined in his pasture and
he is not allowed to drive her across
the road. There are number of cases
in which COWS are Quarantined IN
barns and the owners have to carry
water to them.
DR.. Fahey says there are now 24S
places in York county under quaran-
tine; but of these 80 places will be free
on June /, and next fall the quarantine
will be raised on the county-with the
exception of such places as persist
i'm their refusal to try to do anything

tematic campaign to promote the ex-
port of American cottons to China has
been begun. Mr.. Duke, who is largely
interested in southern cotton mills has
developed a comprehensive plan to
carry the goods direct from the mill to
the consumers in Manchuria and 9TH
.er parts of the Chinese empire, elm
mating the middlemen, whose charges
are regarded as largely responsible for
American goods being unable success
fully to compete with their Lancashire
and Japanese rivals. Plans were so
quietly made that nothing was known
at this end until very recently, when
Shanghai importers found that Messrs.
Mustard & Co. were placing large or
ders for cotton in Manchuria and else
where at prices which they could not
meet This firm is the distributing
agency of the British and American
Tobacco company for China and has a
complete organization in all parts of
the empire furnishing exactly those
facilities which the Herald has pointed
out American cottons must have if
they are not to be driven entirely from
the market. Mr.. Dukes entry into the
field has caused CONSERVATION among
the importers at Shanghai and other
ports, but seems to give promise OF a
revival of the American cotton trade
in China which of recent years has
so seriously declined"

1t appears that we were mistak-
en- when we stated in our last issue
that the money needed for the retire
ment of the railroad bonds had been
obtained in Yorkville. Arrangements
were made by which the bonds will be
taken up by the sinking fund commits
sion on July first, at which time there
will he ample money for this purpose.
Cherokee News.
No, you were not mistaken when you
published the information that had
previously appeared in The Enquirer.
1t is correct as The Enquirer stated
that the sinking fund had the money;
but that money was not available un-
til July l, and the funds had to be
paid on May l. Mr.. Roberts of the
sinking fund commission was unable to
get the money in Gaffney, not because
Gaffney had no money, but because
she had no I per cent money. Accord
ingly inquiries were made at Spartan
burg and Yorkville. The Loan and
Savings bank of Yorkvi,le offered the
best terms and loaned the money,
about $4,000 until July l. The News
was not mistaken in its original state
ment: but is making a mistake in its
correction.
