UNDERTAKERS IN RIVALRY.
Mayor-elect OF Spartanburg Get.
Body FIRST, but Gives II UP.

Spartanburg, Oct. 23.--Competition
has become so keen between Mayor
elect John F. Floyd and M. w. Bobo.
undertakers here. that Floyd thought
to steal a march on his rival by an
ticipating the death Of William j.
Anderson, a negro struck by a freight
train at Gramling Tuesday. Floyd
obtained permission from Coroner
John s. Turner to remove Anderson's
body to his morgue in the event Of his
death. Anderson died today and
Floyd at once removed the body.
Bobo In the meantime. had been au-
thorized by Anderson's father-in- law
l.. III. Sims, to conduct the funeral. He
asked Floyd for the body. Floyd re-
fused to give II up. Sims then went
into Court and sued out writ Of
claim and delivery for the corpse.
Floyd at first was disposed to hold
on to the body and give bond for trial
but reconsidered this evening and
sent the negro's body to his late
home.

TICK ERADICATION PAYS.
Government Shows How Systematic
Campaigns Have Cut Down DOSES
ON Cattle.

Columbia, Oct. 24.-In connection
with the meeting In Columbia Novem-
Der for the purpose of discussing
tho eradication OF the cattle tick in
South Carolina. IL will be interesting
20 note soma OF the results Of such
eradication where the work has been
thoroughly done.
A circular OF the bureau Of animal
industry OF the United States depart
ment of agriculture says. with regard
to the annual losses from tick fever
for the ten-year-period from 1900 to
1909:
The majority OF the estimates of
losses OF cattle before the work of
tick eradication started were given in
percentages. the figures running from
TO 66 per cent. With a few excep-
tions the remainder gave the answer
In number OF head annually lost in
each county. the latter ranging from
rs TO 5000. The simple averages I'm
each OF these cases are:
Percentage OF annual losses In
each county, 1873 per cent; number
OF animals annually lost in each coun-
a. ss5 head"
OF the annual value OF losses the
sumo bulletin says:
The value OF the annual losses in
each county during the period be-
fore tick eradication Is estimated all
the way from $3.50 to 5000. with
an average OF $3.50 per annum per
county"
And with regard To the losses since
the Inauguration OF the tick work the
bulletin says:
About one-half OF the reports
stated that the losses since tick eradi-
cation was started were either none at
all. or practically none. or very
small Others gave the losses as
much less so per cent less etc. A
number gave the answer in percen-
tases. only one OF which was higher
than per cent. Still others placed
the losses I'm number OF cattle, and
these ranged from Is to 500 per
county.
Upon averaging the answers which
gave definite figures. we get the fol-
lowing results:
percentage losses. 1.3 per cent.
Cattle annually lost per county,
2o.3 head.
When these averages are compared
with those Of question I. II will be seen
that the loses have been reduced Az
most to the vanishing point since tick
eradication has been In progress"

New York, Oct. 23.--Analy ling the
events subsequent to his impeachment
aG governor, William Sulzer tonight
in an open air speech to voters in the
Sixth assembly district, where he is
the Progressive candidate for the as
sembly, said:
THE appeal to the high court of
public opinion from the packed court
Of impeachment is resulting in an
overwhelming reversal of the Murphy
verdict"
Mr.. Sulzer said he had read that
Charles F. Murphy "now bitterly re-
pents his failure to order the high
court of the impeachment to disable
me from holding Office"
"The chief had grown so used to
getting away with his jobs that he
never dreamed he would be baked
when he threw me out Of the gov
ernorship," continued Sulzer. He is
mortified to learn that while he had
me iynched like hOrs thief and the
mob left me for dead, there still is
breath enough in my body to fight cor
rupt bossism.
Mr.. Murphy now is talking about
having me indicted on the evidence
which Presiding Judge Cullen refused
to consider. They do not dare to sub.
nit my case before fair jury. If
could get chance like that / would
hail 1t with delight"
Mr.. Sulzer attended a theatre to-
night. before his automobile speech
making, and was recognized as he sat
in box beside Mrs. Sulzer The au-
dience cried for a speech. At the end
of the first act. after the curtain had
descended. it went up suddenly and
the entire company faced the former
governor and applauded him. Nj.
Sulzer made a brief speech, attacking
Charles F. Murphy. He received an
other demonstration in the front Of
the theatre as he was leaving.
