Livingston, March 7.--(Special)-Th
ever present, ever changing tick question
has taken another turn in its arduous
tour through Sumter county. At a recent
meeting of the commissioners court all
and it was thought that tick eradication
had received a death blow in Sumter
county. There are numbers Of cattle own
ers in the contral part of Sumter who
cannot afford to let this important work
drop, so they petitioned the state and
federal authorities to keep their inspectors
here. In answer to this petition certain
territory in the center of the county was
mapped out and this territory will still
be under rigid quarantine. In this Sec
ton the sentiment is overwhelmingly in
favor of tick eradication. and everybody
ought to be satisfied, for those inside the
ring will have tick eradication and those
outside will have ticks.
DIR. Sid Gait, the federal inspector in
charge is very enthusiastic over his work.
He is a fine judge of cattle, splendid
veterinarian and is an able authority on
all branches of animal husbandry. Few
people not acquainted with rural condi-
tions realize the benefits that accrue from
having a federal representative of the de-
partment of agriculture in a community.
In cases of epidemics of diseases such as
black leg in cattle or cholera in hogs
the department at Washington renders in
valuable assistance in eradication and pre-
venting diseases Recently the depart
ment has sent $400 worth of hog serum
for the incubation Of hogs to prevent
cholera to DR.. Gait. He inoculates the
hogs without charge for the serum or
his services Besides supervising the
dipping of cattle the inspectors assist cat
tie owners along all lines connected with
farm improvement.
1t is the benefit of all this knowledge
and aid that three-fourths of Sumter
county has refused to accept from the
United States government, but which one
fourth is so valiantly striving to retain.
Sumter is called the game cock county
of Alabama" and like other game cocks
it loves to fight. Tick eradication fur

MAKES FIERY ADDRESS AGAINST
COMPULSORY ARBITRATION.
to Keep Such ManacIes From
Their Wrists.

New York. Jan. 30.-Compulsory ar
bitration was denounced by Samuel
Gompers, president Of the American
Federation Of Labor, In a speech be-
fore the annual meeting of the Ma
tional Civic federation. Mr.. Gompers
said that the workers never would
submit to arbitration such as that pro.
posed by bills now before the New
York state legislature. The federation
Is endeavoring to perfect a model
state mediation act.
This proposed act" said Mr.. Com:
pers, lis Infamous to the last degree.
You cannot take from a laborer the
right to stop work If he chooses. The
united men of labor will abide by no
such act. We will fight, II need be, to
keep such manacles from our wrists.
Again and again. he continued,
we have withheld strike orders in
the hope of conciliation, but the right
to strike as a last resort against hard
ships shall not be taken from us. How
else can our conditions be remedied?
We cannot depend for relief on the
sociological and mental stunning ex-
petitions of fadists and the dilettante."
Oscar S. Straus, former minister to
Turkey. told of the operations of the
mediation board appointed to adjust
the diff culties between the engineers
on the eastern railroads and their en-
ployers as illustrating the difficulties
under which boards of Cancellation and
arbitration labored.
A. B. Garretson, president of the
board of Brotherhood of Railway Con-
ductors, paid his respects somewhat
caustically to the board of arbitration
of which Mr.. Stratus was chairman. He
said the board was composed of men

LEGISLATIVE GOSSIP.

Pierre.-The heads OF the different
state boards, and some state officers
have been in the past charged with
towns in which political conventions,
the state fair, or some other state
meeting was to be held, and charging
mileage to the state for attending
these meetings. This is being object
ed to in some quarters and a bill is
being shaped up which will have for
its purpose the prohibiting of the
state auditor from accepting travel
vouchers of these boards and officials,
which is arranged at the same town
and on the same dates as the state
meetings. The charge is made that
these meetings of the boards are only
called at such time and place to allow
the members an opportunity to get in
to the lime light at such places at
public expense. and that if they de-
sire to attend such meetings they
should do so on the same footing with
other residents of the state, and pay
their way just the same.
Along with the resolution for a m
s%tftutional amendment to make the
legislative terms four years, with half
the members to be elected each two
years, comes another resolution for
and amendment changing the compen-
sation of the members from IS per
day to SO per day for the sixty days
of the session. The average member
claims that after he has paid his hotel
expenses that he has nothing left to
show for his sixty days service to the
state, and that if he brings his wife
with him to the session, as many of
them do, he is cash put long before
the session ends.
