CLEMSON SHOULD CARE
FOR The CATTLE TICK
GOVERNOR BLEASE ON MOVE
MENT FOR ERADICATION.
Important, But Matter for Clemson
Tuberculosis Should be Look
ed After.
Special to The Herald and News.

Special to The Herald and News.
Columbia, Nov. 17.-In view Of the
recent conferences and discussions in
reference to tae cattle tick and the
$4,000 appropriation to be asked for
at the next session Of the legislature
for the eradication thereof, Cover
nor Blease was asked this morning
what he thought of the situation. In
reply, he stated that it seemed him
with the enormous amount of money
ha Clemson college was getting from
the fertilizer tax, that they should be
able and should be the proper parties
to handle this situation, without any
extra tax or appropriation; that the
farmers Of South Carolina, who will
naturally become the cattle growers,
are the men who are using tue fertili
zer and paying the tax which goes to
Clemson college, and tnat it seems
so him that from this tax should come
the $4,000 necessary, or whatever
other amount is necessary, for the era
dication of the tick. He said he could
Z see no injustice in this, because this
tax comes direct from the farmer and
from him alone, as the only man who
uses the fertilizer. The farmer pays
this tax, said the governor, and why
not let it go back to the farmer, in
stead of putting an extra tax on him
for other purposes?
The governor further stated that he
thought another serious proposition
which ought to receive careful con-
sideration was the establishment of
some place where tuberculosis pat
tents could be properly cared for. 1t
seemed to him, he said, that
the life of a human being
was certainly worth at much
going to expend such an enormous
amount of money to eradicate ticks
they certainly ought to make some
provision by which they could take
care of tubercular patients This ma
ter, he said, ought to have been look
ed into long ago, and he hoped the
next session Of the general assembly
would take some definite step along
this line. There were other diseases,
he said, which were secretly under
mining the health and strength of not
only the present but of coming gen
erations-diseases that were kept hid
den and concealed, and that there
ought to be some place provided
where they could be properly cared
for and treated. The fathers and
mothers of this country would be hor-
rifed, said the governor,%if they knew
10 what extent these matters are
reaching and what progress is being
made while every effort on earth is
made to conceal it from them. The
cattle tick question is by no means the
most important to the people Of he
State today, and while it should be
cared for and properly cared for, there
are other matters being overlooked
which are of much more vital interest
TO the welfare and future of our State,
said Governor Blease.

When congress assemblies no time
will be lost in taking up the real work
If the session. In the senate the
routine program will be followed Mon
day. Vice President Marshall will call
the body to order. and the presidents s
proclamation calling the session will
be read. A committee will be ap-

inform him that the senate is in ses-

ilarly advice the house. Unless some
senator desires to talk upon privi-

The house will of necessity take
longer in getting its business under

business will be agreed upon in eau

DIRT EATING FOR A LIVING.

The practice Of eating earth is not
confined to any race or region of the
world. In America several tribes of
indians, of the northern as well "a
Of the southern continent, are given
TO using earth as food Different va
rieties of clay seem to be preferred.
The Pawnee Indians used a yellow
ish clay, which they shaped into lit
tie balls that were allowed to dry in
the air and where then slowly roasted
at the open fire. When the clay at
tanned a red color the balls we're re-
moved, moistened with water and eat
en-. These clay balls we're especially
liked when served in connection with
fish, and seem to have promoted di-
gestion.
The Timmeh Indians of the Mack
enzie river used to resort to the earth
as food in times of famine. They
dug out the clay found in the hollows
along the banks Of the river. In
prosperous years they chewed the clay
as delicacy. The Apaches mixed
powder clay in their meal before
baking this into their rude loaves of
bread.
The Indians in the uplands of Bo-
livia ate light clay that is nearly
white in color; this they used either
raw or in the form Of cakes Of va
rious shapes, which we're sold in the
market places They also prepared a
sauce with the clay: this they ate
with boiled potatoes.
Among the negroes of the Guinea
coast, as well as among those in west
Africa, the eating of clay is very
common. The natives Of the Soudan
Dig their favorite clay from between
layers of sandstone in the banks of
the rivers. The natives of Java pre-
pare their cakes Of clay containing
ochre; these are sold in the public
markets.-New York Mail.

FIGHT ON
OVER WOOL
ANDSUGAR

OHlIeu fTeSS
WASHINGTON, d. c., April S.
President Wilson is awaiting the reply
OF the southern sugar interests to
his suggestion that they accept duty
OF / cent per pound duty on Cuban
sugar, and S1.20 per cwt. on other
sugars. This rate to run three years,
after~which all sugar will be free.
Outside the sugar schedule the tar
III bill has been completed. The only
fight expected is on wool and sugar.
If the southerners reject the offer
sugar will be eliminated from the
general tariff bill and introduced sep
aiately.
Senator Warren of Wyoming is try
ing to secure sufficient pledges to pre-
vent free wool, declaring it would ruin
the western sheep industry He hopes
to effect an alliance among the Dem
ocrats apposing free wool and sugar.
Wilson is confident, having polled both
houses.
The reduced revenues resulting
from tariff revision will be recouped
through bill providing for an income
tax ranging from per cent on $4,000
incomes to per cent incomes over
100000.

EDDIE PULLS THE STRINGS.

Dispatches from Washington con-
vey the glad intelligence that when an
avalanche Of free sugar descends upon
the land it will be "our Eddie" Keat-
ing who pulls the strings.
Congressman Keating told Presi-
dent Wilson that he favored free su-
gar despite the protests Of other
congressman from Colorado" At the
time this sprightly declaration was
made, the president had just heard the
protests of Senator Broussard and
Governor Hill Of Louisiana against
free sugar. The Louisiana states
men were outspoken for keeping the
protective tariff on one Of the chief
industries Of their state, but not SO
Congressman Heating. The cane su-
gar industry is no more important to
Louisiana than the beet sugar in
dustry is to Colorado, but Congress-
man Keating was not there to make
protests in the interests Of farm or
factory. He was there to prove that
the "home folks" didn't amount to
much, in his opinion, and that il he
could lay Colorado on the altar Of
free trade he was prepared to perform
the heroic act without delay.
When their action was contrasted
with the Boy-stood- n-the-burning-
deck attitude of Congressman Keat-
ing, the protesting sons Of Louisiana
must have felt very small indeed. No
doubt they realized that trying to pro-
tect home industry from ruin was
a nefarious piece Of business. The
strange part Of their action is that
they come from state that is almost
solidly Democratic, while Congress.
men Heating comes from a state
whose Democratic vote did not equa
the combined Republican and Bul
, Moose vote. In asking for protec
, tion on sugar Senator Broussard an,
Governor Hill voiced the sentiment
Of the Democratic majority Of Louisi
: ana, while in declaring that he woul'
| vote to destroy beet sugar, Congress
: man Heating did not represent tn
majority sentiment Of even the mi
nority Democratic vote that sent hir
| to congress.
n But, Of course, these things onl
s serve to emphasize the heroism Q
Congressman Heating. To stand OF
against the wishes Of ones consti'
uency in such fashion seems 70 BE- Z
