lUOGt ROBINSON WRITES
On TICK ERADICATION
Dr. Thornton Receives Inter
sslina Letter from Prominent
Tsnnsssss Jurist

Dr.. W. X. Thornton. the expert
from the bureau Oi animal hus-
bandry Oi the United States de-
partmcnt Of agriculture, who is in
charge Of the tick eradication
work in this county, Is IN receipt
of letter from Scion l.. Robinson,
county Judge Of Bledsoe county,
Tenn. and who Is also promi-
nent attorney in the little city Of
Pikeville, Tenn. which will be
read with interest by the. farmers
Of this county. The letter, which
was written voluntarily by Judge
Robinson TO the United States de-
partment of agriculture, gives
some information of the valuable
work done in his home county by
tick eradication, and is as follows:
Gentlemen:--By the co-opera-
ton OF this county (Bledsoe) with
the officials of the Bureau of Ami
NAL Industry, of the United States
Department of Agriculture, the
cattle tick has been eradicated
from this county. II is rather
difficult for me to estimate the
value in dollars and cents this
work has been to the farmers of
the county, but it will run up into
thousands of dollars. Before the
eradication Of the tick there was
no demand in the North and the
Middle Western markets for our
cattle, but last year, after it was
known that the tick had been
eradicated from this county, the
farmers could not supply the de-
mand for cattle from this county.
Cattle buyers representing Chica-
90, Kansas City, Cincinnati, and
other markets came to this coun-
| ty, and bought all the cattle that
was on the market, paid hand
some prices for them, and ship
ped them direct TO the cities men
tened. Since the eradication Of
the tick, tie iiftcfeSts OK the ffsi,ii ii,
ers have increased many fold, for
better prices are being paid for
the cattle, they are raising more
of them, and better cattle, and the
farmers are improving farming
methods, and today Bledsoe coun-
ty ships more cattle for the mar
ket than any other county in the
state to its area.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) Solon l.. Robinson,
County Judge.

that the United States will prob

Public Schools Opened Their
Doors Monday and Insugurstsd
What Promises 10 Bs
Prosperous Session

Monday marked the opening
Of the public schools Of the city
and the session which was then
inaugurated promises to be one
of unusual prosperity. The facul-
ties at the various schools are
made up Of competent and eff
cient teachers who manifest a
great deal Of interest in their
labors and it is believed that
unusually good work will be ac-
complished during the coming
season.
Opening exercises were held at
Franklin Academy at 8 o'clock
Monday morning, these exer-
cises having been witnessed not
only by the pupils but by a nun,
Der of friends and patrons of the
school. An invocation of Gods
blessings upon the assemblage
by DR.. H. G. Henderson, pastor of
the First Methodist church, inau-
gurated the program, after which
there was a short address by
Rev. J. B. Lawrence, pastor of
the First Baptist church. This
address was followed by a vocal
solo by Miss Anna Terrell Hamil-
ton, which brought the exercises
to formal close.
The total attendance the opsn-
ing day was 1896 pupils. Of
this number there were 82l white
children, the remaining SIS hav-
ing been negroes. Of the white
children there were 1888 at the

Essleston May Accept.

Richmond, Va, Sept. 15- Rev.
r. B. Eggleston, pastor of the
Third Presbyterian churh, this
city, has practically decided to
accept the call to the First church
at Columbus, Miss, which he re-
Gently received. This was learn
ed today from Edwin Peasants,
elder in Eggleston's church.
Though the latter will not
formally announce his decision
until Wednesday night, when
the officers of the church meet to
take action in regard to the mat
ter, it is believed that he will ac-
cept the call.
Because of the attractivenesa
of the call from Columbus and
The great opportunity which that
field offers, it is understood that
no special effort will be made tc
keep DR.. EgGleston here, how.
ever, much of his flock may re.
gret to see him 60.
He has been pastor of the
Third church in this city fol-
twelve years.

LOWNOES COUNTY NOW HAS
ONE MODEL ROADWAY
Sample Road Constructed Under
the Direction Of Mr.. Harrison
Has Been Completed

Lowndes county now has one
model road. 1t is only half a
mile in length, but is constructed
on scientific principles, and
serves to show the people what a
good road really looks like. The
model highway is located on the
Tuscaloosa road, extending from
the bridge which crosses Luxa-
palila creek near the waterworks
for half a mile in an easterly di-
rection.
The road was built under the
direction of Mr.. Charles T. Har-
rison, the expert sent here by
the federal government, and is
constructed of material which
was near at hand and which was
secured at comparatively small
cost. The road is a model high.
way in every respect, including
two reinforced concrete bridges.
The next thing to be under.
taken by Mr.. Harrison will be
some repair work on Military
road. There are some bad places
in the road at a point near the
corporate limits of the city, and
in making the repairs brick-bats
and cinders will be used in the
foundation. Material of thi,
character has never before been
used here, and its use in tn,
present instance will mark a new
epoch in local road construction

+ this form Of agitation can work any
benefit to the man on the land,
] whose whole success is bound up
in the increase of land values and
the establishment of stable markets.
OF course there are thrifty agitators
/ everywhere who are quite willing to
contemplate community distress if
it can be made a means of personal
notoriety or profit.
I'VE are much gratified at the
showing made last year on the
Wood River Project. The water sup
ply appears to have been demon
strated beyond question, and the
contention Of irrigation experts thai
a reservoir supply is the most de-
pendable appears to be well found
ed.
There has been commendable
agricultural development on the
project. The new lands are begin
ming to demonstrate the possibilities
which they are known to possess.
Contract holders who have been on
the land for two years are, as a
wrule, coming in with payments,
which they have earned from the
land. Since my arrival have inter
viewed a number of contract hold
ers, and l find that the results are
good and growing better. One
young man who came to the coun-
try with $500 expresses the opinion
that within the present year he will
have his obligations all cleared up
and he will be started toward de-
veloped farm.

Acting entirely unofficially upon
the information that the Richfield
Independent school district would
probably have quite large sum Of
money left over this year---between
mated expenses--The Recorder set
$4,000 and $4,000 above all esti-
out to see if ther was way to
legally refund the excess money.
1t was suggested by County AS
SCISSOR Isenberg that it might be pos
sible in an Independent district tc
draw the money in the regular way,
and then return it pro rata tc the
tax payers. The Recorder present.
ed the matter to the attorney gen
erals office, and is just in receipt
of a letter from Assistant Attorney
General Peterson on the subject.
Mr. Peterson, who went into the
matter thoroughly, says that. such
course might be followed if no
one objectcd---as, indeed, one can
transgressz aay law if no protest
made---5ut that he could find no rea
son to believe it was contemplated
or would be sanctioned by law 1t
would not be advisable, he said, to
do it except district wanted to
make a test case. This is not Civ
en- in his words, but is the sub
stance of his opinion AS Mr. Pet
erson has had years of experience
in the attorney generals office, and
the matter has doubtless been can
vassed thoroughly, there does not
seem TO be mucn more TO say on
