sive line of women's and children s

Columbia. - Statewide movement
looking to the eradication Of the cat.
tie tick has been started by the Co
lumbia Chamber of Commerce, and
resolution, passed by the board of di-
rectors of the chamber at it's meeting,
calls on the Richland delegation and
the general assembly to appropriate
not exceeding $4,000 the coming year
to cooperate with the federal gov
ernment in ridding the state of a pest
against which a majority of the coun-
ties are now quarantined. B. H.
Rawl, chief of the dairy division Of
the United States department of ag-
riculture, when in Columbia recently,
said that the government would put
into the movement dollar for dollar.
Tick eradication would mean a bet
ter market and better price for cattle,
it is said, and it is pointed out that
the boil weevil will reach South Caro-
lima within five or six years and that
it is important that there be some
thing to offset a falling off Of the cot
ton crop. Stock raising at the time
OF the coming of the weevil is being
advocated.
Pingle T. Youmans, Alva u. Lump
kin and r. H. Welch, members OF the
Richland delegation, expressed them
selves as favoring any movement that
would benefit the state. Mr.. Youmans
and Mr.. Lumpkin said that they
would support a measure making an
appropriation. Mr.. Welch said that
he favored anything that would bene-
fit the people, but could not say what
position he would take in the matter
until having looked into it. Senator
F. H. Weston is out of the city.
Secretary Clark Of the Chamber of
Commerce said that copies of the
boards resolution would be sent to
every commercial body in the state,
with letter urging them to place the
matter before their respective county
delegations.
