a short time when these lands will be inhabited by thirty white farmers, in- stead of the indolent negro tenants, who only produce little cotton and cut the matured hays, growing here without cul- tivation, aprincipally Johnson grass and melolotus.
 Farmers of this section have been haul ing out large quantities of fertilizer Tor several weeks past, with the hope of producing their corn and cotton on a more intensive system of cultivation. This, however, applies only to the white farmers, as the negro tenants just trust in de Lord and do very little work.
 Since Hale county farmers have been raising their own feedstuffs there is a marked change, and considerably more prosperity. A farmer told me today he refused an offer of s325 for a pair of two-year-olds mule colts that were raised on his alfalfa, at such a low cost he could not see that they had cost him anything

Sumter county, one of the finest In az ricuItural promise and high standard oi intelligence in the state. is just now pre- senting a most disgraceful spectacle. Il is cursed by two most troublesome pests; the cattle tick and the politician.
 While the cattle tick is slowly sapping the life blood of the finest cattle in the state the politicians are quarreling over its eradication. The situation is most unusual. It is, indeed. a disgrace that is admitted by hundreds of the best peo- ple of the country. But these good peo- pie seem to be powerless to stop the quarrel.
 In the meantime the tick, that diminu- tive parasite that is stealing millions oi dollars from the pockets of the southern cattle raiser every year, is making good his time on the succulent Hanks of the Jerseys, the Holsteins and the sleek Angus.
 The progressive and intelligent cattle man Is doing the best he can in an in- dependent way greasing and dipping his cattle, but he cannot save himself the loss occasioned by reason of the tick quarantine that is being held over all sections of the south where the people refuse to cooperate in eradication.
 His neighbor with one ticky COW on a few acres of rented land refuses to grease or dip his COW and the six-penny politician is afraid to either make him grease or keep his cow from running al large to infect the herd of the man who would be decent, humane and progress sive.
 There seem to be more individual vot- CTS with one and two cows than pos-

Allen, one of Birming- hams most prominent lawyers, was i'll Bessemer Wednesday to secure bill of exception in the case of Griffin Weaver, who was found guilty of the murder of Cecil Goodwin at Johns 8 short while ago and given a ten-year sentence. Tho case will go to the supreme court.
 The case of w. M. Ewing, who was awarded ss29 damages against Long Lewis Hardware company for breach of contract in the Bessemer city court, will be appealed to the supreme court by the defendant.
 The matter of the permit for the build Ing of the new Frisco depot did not come up in the city council Tuesday night as w. A Simmons who is in charge or the matter, did not nave all arrangements perfected. The building committee. J. Il. Edwards. W. A. Simmons and Kelley Johnson, have signed the application for the permit but the Frisco officials will not build until the city council has voted Its consent.
 Tuesday at noon Big Bay. the horse that Eugene Mckinney drives to a Southern express wagon, while being g unhitched at his stable for dinner, changed his mind and started suddenly at rapid pace up the avenue. He was interrupted in his flight at Third ave- nue and Nineteenth street by a negro man, but not until he had turned the wagon over, twisted a wheel and scra tched himself. No one else was hurt and Big Bay seems to have had sufficient exercise as his behavior since has been unusually good.
 The foundations of the magnificent Methodist church now under construc- tion at the corner of Nineteenth street and Arlington avenue are nearing com pletion. The real brown stone, shipped here from Gate City, used even at this stages. gives an idea of the future beauty of the edifce.

Frank Cabaniss, alias Martin Cane, captured in this city some time ago for attempting the old horse race conf dence game. subsequently, tried and &C., auitted. was taken to Seattle, Wash, yesterday in charge of 8 deputy Unit ed States marshal, where, 1t is said, he is wanted on a charge of snug gling opium. Since the arrest of Cab aniss 1t has developed that he was wanted in many parts of the country for various offenses. It appears that Miss Margaret Gray knows great deal about Cabaniss and his operations. She appears, too, to be infatuated with the man, having come to this city shortly after he was captured here. To pre- vent her being placed on the witness stand on the part of the state Cabanlss had planned to marry the young wom- an last Thursday, the ceremony to have taken place in the jail. But attor- neys for the prosecution entered a protest and the marriage did not take place. AS soon as 1t was announced that Cabaniss would be taken to Seat tie Miss Gray left for that city.
 Ine meeting ol lno cdetie iaiSciS oi Texas in this city has attracted a greater attendance this year than ever before. This is due largely to the fact that splendid rains through the win ter and continuation of seasonable conditions has put the large rangers in better shape than they have been for several years. It Is the opinion of all concerned that 1911 will show the greatest cattle production for num- Der of years. Another thing. too, that has added to the interest Is the fact that cattle growers have discarded the long horn and are devoting their attention to some of the best breeds known to the business.
