mingham, spent today in Montgomery,

ROGERS DEFENDS
HIS TICK ATTITUDE
Says People of Sumter Sim
ply Object to "Compul-
sory' Eradication
o the Editor Of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
Your editorial about the tick situation
in Sumter is most unfair. Ignorance is
always unfair. Not one of the coun-
ties mentioned by YOU as surrounding
Sumter county has tick eradication. there
fore those who live on the boundaries
between Sumter and Choctaw, Sumter and
Greene, Sumter and Pickens, Sumter ana
Kemper county, Mississippi, are in the
same danger of having their cows, ma
tive as well as imported, killed by the
ticks getting on them as are those living
in the center of the county and for whom
Mr. j. b. Ennis speaks so pathetically.
There is no reason why any man who
wants to keep the ticks off his cows can't
do so without state or federal interven-
tion.
We oppose compulsory, not tick eradica-
ton. We oppose compulsory tick eradi-
cation because it is destructive of the two
great cardinal principles which distin-
guish a republic from monarchy. The
guaranteed rights of man and the guar
anteed rights of property. We hold who
try to keep the faith of the fathers, that
the best man is not good enough to be
put in absolute charge of another mans
property without the consent of the man
to whom the property belongs. Compul-
sorry tick eradication puts a mans cows
under the absolute control of federal tick
INSPECTORS, and those who have filled this
function in Sumter county are not the
best men in the world.
We do not object to tick eradication on
account of the expense. We hold that any
sum of money, no matter how great its
magnitude, IS justly and wisely spent
when spent to benefit the human family.
TO eradicate the ticks sensible, prac-
tical and the only way is to start at the
present tick quarantine line, which divides
the north and the south through the
southern part of Virginia, North and
South Carolina, northern Mississippi,
thence west to the Pacific coast. 10 at
tempt TO eradicate ticks except as an
individual, in a county like Sumter, sur
rounded by tick territory on all sides for
hundreds of miles, will prove impractical
to be derived from such an attempt are
less The evils are actual, vicious and al
together unbearable. These are the rea-
sons that the embattled farmers of sum-
ter drove the tnck inspectors from their
midst.
! hope YOU will be fair enough to give
this reply to our critics as much prom
mence as you have the uncalled for criti-
cisms heaped upon us, sincerely.

Il was for Murphy
Murphy owns the CUBS and loves the
Cubs, and the Cubs love Murphy-espe-

And it was ON account of this sentiment
of affection that the tape was worn. IT
attracted a great deal of attention. and
some among the horde of vulgarly curious
which had gathered TO see and be seen

1t was then remembered that Charlie
Murphy, the little guy who owns the
Cubs, was missing.
Yes continued the player who had
vouchsafed Information, / Murphy is
missing. We begged him to remain told
him of the lonesomeness that would result
from his absence. in fact, used every art
of persuasion known to man to no avail
so we thought of the tape: Behold II
on the arm Of each of us. We are
grieved."
There was not a smile on the face of
man
DO you really love that little Irishman
who causes trouble wherever he goes?''
Behold the tape. the player insisted.

Commissioners Pass Ques-
tion Over For While

Huntsville, February 16.- tSpecial.) 1.-THE
people of Madison county want new
courthouse That fact was established
at mass meeting Saturday afternoon,
at which all of the members of the court
of county commissioners were present.
Fifteen well known citizens spoke on the
subject and of that number L said they
want new court house out and out.
Two speakers said the old building ought

pairs are needed

county commissioners several days ago,
when they deferred action on a resolu-
tion introduced by Capt. John ". Gray
son, providing for the Aerection Of new
courthouse to cost not more than Sl25,000a
Senator II. +. Spragins showed that an
increase of five mills on the levy for
roads and public buildings would pay
the interest on bonds or warrants is
sued for the construction of the new
building, and the road and building fund
could be devoted entirely to roads dur
ing a period of 10 years following.
Other speakers, showed that with the
gradual increase OF property values, no
additional assessment would be necessary
The commissioners passed the question
over to the next regular meeting.
Warren and Gus Pike, farmers of Lime
stone county, are under arrest here on
charges of assault with intent to muir
der Warren Pike is in the city hospital
suffering from bullet wound in the

CUBS LEADER EXPECTS TO WIN
THE PENNANT, BUT HAS COR
DIAL RESPECT FOR GIANTS
AND PIRATES.

The Chicago Cubs en- route to Tampa,
passed through Birmingham yesterday
afternoon over the Illinois Central The
party travelled in two private cars. and
numbered with players, wives, and base
ball writers 10 people.
[. T.. Sanborn of the Chicago Tribune,
Charles Dryden of the Chicago Examiner,
George c. Ride of the Inter- Ocean and
Oscar Reichow of the Daily News, who
preceded the Cubs. joined them at the
station amid great rejoicing
There were number of local fans on
hand to witness the passage of the vis-
itors These people. many of whom had
pressed through the gates cheered and
the Cubs, with the usual facetiousness
of visitors, cheered back
The train was in Birmingham forsoniy
few moments. Johnny Evers. Roger
Bresnahan, Artie Phean, Ed Reulbaeh
and others. dismounted and strobe about
the enclosure.
Evers Talks Frankly

mined that there shall be no loafing, for
we all are anxious to win pennant dur
ing the coming season. We will be on the
job in Florida morning noon and night.
We intend playing several Sunday en-
gagements with Almeida's Cuban team
There is no internal dissenson among
the Cubs and there never has been.
There was no trouble between Murphy
and Chance OF a serious nature, although
the newspapers would have had you be-
lieve otherwise. The two men, | judged
simply reached a conclusion that they
could fare better apart, and parted.
Chance has a splendid position carrying

Bresnahan Very Reticent
Col Roger Bresnahan, concerning
whom much has been said and written,
proved to be a good listener He de-
ciined to discuss his recent trouble with
the lady who owns the st. Louis Cardi-

last season.

outfield, for which there are half a dozen
formidable applicants. He did not appear
interested however, and was smiling
when the train pulled out from Birming-

TO the Editor OF The Times.
The antics performed by suffragists
on the streets Of New York for the
edidcation Of the multitude. on Satur-
day last, can have no other effect
than to lessen their own self.respect
and weaken the suffrage movement.
A few years ago the suffragists Of
England presented q series OF re-
markable street scenes the magnifi-
cence Of which had probably never
before been eQualed. BY thus appeal

votes. but the rabble grinned and
went on It's way. only. this and nothing
more. After having tried peaceable
methods for so years. q number Of

to employ different tactics. The
docility Of cows was no longer to be
emulated, hence the militant move
ment.
That the British government Ia be-
Ing defied, that II is powerless to en-.
force its own laws and preserve or.

In this bloodless war against
tyranny are revealed heights of
moral grandeur never before wit
messed In tho history Of mankind. The
militant movement In England does
not belong to that country alone: It
involves tho whole world.
When we reflect that In this coun.
