Great Opportunity, at
Present Neglected
written espec ally for the Democrat
Star by A. IT, Pettibone, Of The
U1ited Suales Department Of
Agricultural

That the Texas fever in domestic
J cattle is the great bane and nuisance
to Southern Agriculture is clea
and undisputed fact. But now vii
its abolition and eradication really
pay? Will tick eradication really pay!
This is question which the people
must answer. stoutly affirm i
will. And in this open letter tt
The Democrat-Star shall undertake
to prove it.
The careful experts Of the u. S.
Department of Agriculture estimate
that the cattle ticks cost the people
of the entire south annually not less,
in loss and waste, than SIS 900 900;
And TIE statisticians of the Central
of Georgia Railroad place the loss
and waste for the two states Of
Georgia and Alabama at not less
yearly from the same cause, than
81 900, 900; with corresponding
loss to the state of Mississippi.
These Mr.. Editor, are gigantic,
and fearful losses. Shall the people
sit down in dumb despair and wait
for the cattle ticks to die out? But
they won't die out. They have
come osttay until they shall be
stamped out and utterly eradicated.
1t can be done. and at least fifty
times as cheap as to keep the hated
nuisance. 1t is now about six years
since this Bureau undertook in dead
earnest the work Of tick eradication.
1t tegan the work in inexperience,
i'm ridicule and in angry opposition.
But 1t Kept at work in good and
in evil report. But it has obtained
useful knowledge. IT. has invented
and perfected the dipping vats and
the arsenical dip. And it has made
tick eradication easy, and cheap,
and certain. And now after six
years of toll it sees fully 100, 900
square miles or at least 100, 900, 900
acres of southern soil and territory
utterly cleared and relieved from
TIE ticks, and all the cattle pastured
on them, and taken out of the in

BUSINESS LEAGUE STARTS MOVE TO ERECT
LARGE RESORT HOTEL. on THE BEACH
COMMITTEE OF SIX IS APPOINTED TO ORGANIZE A COMPANY
Present Enthusiastic
Committee Appointed Advertise Station
New Meeting Place For the League

lInless the undertaken takes charge
Of the spirit which prevailed at
Mcnday nights meeting of the Busi-
ness League, Pascagoula will soon
have what it now needs most of all
thinos---a summer and winter resort
hotel, located on the beach. After
every one Of the seventeen present
had spoken in favor of a move to
erect hotel committee of five was
appointed to take steps at once to-
4 ward the organization of a hotel
company. 1t is composed of w. D..
Hughes, Samuel Seaton, Jr., R. D.
4 North, R. A. Bowers, Charles E.
Chidsey. and L. E. Cox.
1t was made plain at the meeting
\ that hundreds more of strangers
would come to Pascagoula if they
had some place to stay. Before the
Civil war Pascagoula had on the
beach large hotel that would ac-
commodate nearly a thousand per-
sons. Now nothing remains of it
but part of the ruins. 1t was nearly
always full and a hotel along the
beach now would very likely be
filled all the time. Many persons
are steering clear of Pascagoula for
no other reason than lack of proper
accommodations.
L. E. Cox, in the absence of
President Canty, presided over the
meeting and brought up the hotel
question.
Starting in April, all meetings will
be held in City Hall. This will do
away with the rent expense of $40
month. Mr.. Cox, on behalf Of
the city, said the use of the City
Hall as a meeting place would be
allowed without charge.
Another important matter agreed
upon was that Pascagoula needs
advertising. A committee recently
appointed to raise means for the
purpose not having reported, it was
released from the responsibility and
new committee was appointed.
The new committee is composed of
Claud Delmas, P. H. Rodrigue and
R. D.. North.
A committee, composed Of T. G.
Hibbler, Claud Delmas, w. D.
Hughes and L. E. Cox, was ap-
pointed to stir up interest in the
coming Of the Mobile boosters on a
trade excursion at the end of this
week and, if possible, have band
at the station to meet them. 1t is
desired that a large crowd be at the
station to greet the visitors.
The balance in the hands of the
railroad right of way committee was
ordered transferred to the general
fund.
After ordering paid bills to the
amount of S17.1O the league ad-
journed.

To Purchase Fair Grounds

Negotiations are in progress for the
sale OF Oxford Fair Grounds to AL +.
Wheeler, who will make them his per-
manent winter quarters for his show.

the grounds as debt against the agricul-

burden each year. Mr. Wheeler has ar
ranged to purchase all the outstanding
stock at the market price and he will
satisfy the mort gage and note against
the Association. In all, the grounds will
represent an investment of about eight
thousand dollars, or at the rate of $4O0
an acre. The fair will be held as usual
each year, the association renting the
grounds from Mr.. Wheeler for their ex-
hibitions.
