Differences Aired Before
State Live Stock Sanitary
Board Here Yesterday
STATU QUO WILL
REMAIN FOR YEAR
Meeting Finally Ends in Harmony and
All Agree That Tick Is the
Only Undesirable Citizen
of Sumter County

The Sumter county cattle tick remains
in statu quo.
Between the citizens of the great cattle
raising county, truce of year has
been declared. In that period, the present
quarantine will be maintained, and the
present policy towards tick eradication
will be continued.
The result of the airing of the situation
in Sumter before the state live stock
sanitary board yesterday at the Hotel
Morris was a compromise. At the con-
clusion of the session, every man declared
himself to be the friend of every other
man, that the tick was the only undesir-
able citizen, and that its existence was
a matter greatly to be deplored.
The members of the board, Reuben F.
Kolb, commissioner of agriculture; c. A.
Cary and Jesse NJ. Jones, members OF
the faculty of the Alabama Polytechnical
Institute at Auburn, were present. Abou.
40 citizens Of Sumter attended, among
the number being John A. Rogers, Julian
3. Ennis, Fred II. Jones, J. II. Horn,
DR.. W. j. Mccain, Sid Gait, s. P. Spratt,
o. T.. Cobb, r. S. Scale, and others. Two
lutHlDGIS Ol lilt Guilty bouiI VI 'sOliliiilS-
sioners were also present.
The session began in open meeting.
Speeches from representatives of the two
factions, the one which stood for tick
eradication by government aid, and
the one which protested against
the government forcing the free
county of Sumter to do what the afore-
mentioned free county desired not to do.
There was no reluctance on the part of
have put the members of the family ajar,
and the ghost which has been partially
concealed in the family closet, stallSed
abroad in all its startling nalzedness.
1t was finally determined that there
would never be an end to the open meet
ing unless it was halted abruptly. That
course was followed, and an executive
session was declared. Captain Kolb then
put the leaders of the two factions to-
gether, and a compromise was effected.
For year, therefore, there will be no
change in the situation in Sumter as 1t
exists today. Thereafter however, the
scions of the county will be at liberty, if
they desire, to don their paint, give ex-
preston to their uncanny yells, and
prance anew upon the path of war.
Outwardly. there is peace But neither
this nor that faction has been convinced
that its way was one of error. Every
man now believes as he believed when he
entered into the sparring match the one
holding that the tick should be eradi-
Gated by any and all possible means, and
the other that no free citizen should be
driven to do anything. not even destroy
the pest of ticks.
Therefore, the game cock county of
Sumter will, it is generally predicted,
soon again take position underneath the
calcium and then proceed to give the
gentle tick second statewide airing
