HARRINGTON ELECTED
CIRCUIT CLERK.

The election for Circuit Clerk last
Tuesday passed of quietly and nice
ly, the best feeling prevailing among
the candidates and their friends. AS
farmers were busy gathering crops,
and all the candidates were good and
worthy men, small vote was polled,
total of 1871 in the entire county. 1t
is said that Mr.. B. T. Collins, the So.
cialist candidate. polled number OF
vot es outside OF his party, as he is
personally a clever and popular gem
tleman and has a large family con-
nection among our best people. Had
he announced as Democrat Mr.. Col
Inns would have been a formidable
candidate. We could not get the vote

ceived by the different candidates:

JONES COUNTY FREE
OF CATTLE TICKS.
Number of Cattle Dipped in
Jones and our Neighboring
Counties.

In 80 counties in Mississippi, where
the tick law has been enforced, 45s, :
1871 head of cattle have been dipped.
InJones county, the number dipped is
30,5SS; in Jasper county 29.2o5; in
Smith county, 29,2S5; and in Clark
county, IA, lS9. After this year there
will be broad strip of country,
radiating around Jones, from which
the cattle tick has been eradicated,
and the quarantine will be lifted by
the Government. Supervisor Du-
Bose says that there will be only
three more clippings, three weeks
apart, to wind up the work in Jones
county, and If we have frost there
will be no more need of dipping He
believes that Jones county is now
free of the tick, but there may be
isolated herds aud spots where they
will appear next spring. The Gov
ernment will have inspectors here to
reappear cattle must be again dipped.
Anyway, the watts in our county will
be kept filled, and owners can have
the option of dipping their stock
when they see proper. But it is not
thought necessary to enforce the law,
as our county, it is thought will be
free from ticks.
We can now begin to import blood
ed cattle and they will not be killed
by ticks, as has heretofore been the
case. The dipping will cost Jones
coanty something like 800, coo, but ii
! is the best spent money our people
ever invested. They can now sell
their cattle in any market, and the
increased value of yearling will pay
any farmers share of tax for dip
ping.
] II has been q great bother to stock
owners To collect and drive their cat
tie to dipping watts, but now that w
have gotten rid of the tick, ever,
reasoning man must confess that 1t /
time and money we'll spent. We car
now use our natural grasses to rails,
cattle and it win be a great source O
| wealth.
We hope that the Courts viii be as
| lenient as possible with those who did
not dip, for it was new experiment
and many could n OF see the need OF
such But they now realize its inn
portance, and we are quite sure that
they will fall into line ana assist their
neigbbor in keeping out ticks. These
anti-dippers are poor men generally
and cannot stand heavy fines. AS to
the men who dynamited watts, no
mercy should be shown them, for they
are Anarchists and law-breakers.

land thefts, the American Federation
of Labor is preparing to demand that
the government start suit against the
company to recover stolen land.
Resolutions calling for congressional
investigation have already been
adopted.
Speaking in favor of the resolu-
tons calling for an investigation of
the copper trust, Joseph D. Cannon
of the Western Miners Federation
read from the annual report of Unit
ed States Land Com. Sparks, the Off
cial account of Portage lake canal
fraud.
In this document it is shown that
the government granted 100000
acres for a canal which turned out
to be a ditch Of no use and that
100000 acres were located, not on
the line of the canal, but in the center
of the richest copper land in Mich
igan.
Cannon further read that this land
had never been recovered and is now
in the control of the copper trust.
Turning to United States reports

dler versus Calumet & Hecla Mining
Co., Cannon read the official history
of the St. Mary's Falls Canal Co.'S

Cannon, Conceived in corruption
and iniquity, which says that organ

men should have dealings with it.

called him a peanut politician.

S182.23FOR SCHOOL
LIBRARY PURPOSES
Each County in State Will
Receive Money on Ger
tain Conditions
1910 First Ave.

Montgomery, October l0.--,Spccial.)
Every county in Alabama will receive
for school library purpose next year
$iS2.23, according to a statement rendered
Superintendent of Education Henry J.
Willingham this afternoon by State Audi
tor C. Brooks Smith.
This money will be apportioned among
the various counties by school districts.
$100 being allowed each county under pro-
vision of the code. Many counties have
heretofore not availed themselves Of their
allotment and as q result the money has
remained in the treasury for apportion-
ment the following year During the past
few years so many counties have failed
to avail themselves of the state appro-
pration for library purposes that the
sum made available for next year will be
nearly double the state appropriation.
In order to obtain the money from the
state, every school applying for the ap-
preparation has to comply with certain
conditions. The sum allotted to each
school is $40, but 1t Is required that 500
addition shall be raised, which may lie
obtained from the patrons of the school,
the school district, or county.
The educational department is particu-
larly anxious that every school district
in the state will make application for the
appropriation next year.

Local Data
Weather Conditions

Birmingham, October 10.--G p. Nd
Areas of high barometic pressure on the
Atlantic and gulf coasts, and the middle
Rocky mountain and plateau states are
separated by long trough of low barom-
eter extending from the upper lakes
through the western Mississippi valley
to Texas. Attending the low pressure
center general rains prevailed during the
last "a hours over the upper lake and
northern valley states. Amounts were
heavy at few stations, and generally
there were copious rains.
Light rains were reported from the
Carolinas within the last "a hours, but
clearing conditions prevailed there to-
night. Practically all other sections of
the cotton belt had fair weather today.
but cloudiness continues in the western
gulf states.
The rain area in the north seems to
be extending somewhat southwark, so
that on tonight's map rain was reported
as far south as st. Louis. While a gen.
eral rain is not looked for in Alabama,
light showers Qay occur, as the low
pressure area moves eastward between
now and Sunday.
A general cool change accompanies the
rainfall, and the changing of the winds
10 westward in front of high barometer
area in the middle Rockies and western
plateau states. This cool change will
probably affect Alabama slightly by Sat-
urday night and Sunday.
