WATS0N'S CHAPEL
Will have FIRST
DIPPING VAT HERE
Members of Farmers Club,
Meeting Friday, Subscribe
Half of Sum Required.

The Watsons Chapel Farmers
club, at a meeting FRIDAY night Sub
scribed more than half the amount of
money needed for the erection there
of a dipping vat, and thus will gain
the honor of erecting the first dip
ping vat in Jefferson county, N the
fight for the eradication of the cat
tie tick.
News of the meeting and it's most
satisfactory result was brought to the
city yesterday by Farm Demonstra-
ticn Age mt c.. H. Thomas, who was
in attendance, and who spoke en-
Enthusiastically of the very great
interest that is being shown in the
establishment of dipping watts in this
coAny.
"The Watson's Chapel Farmers
club has taken the lead, and I have
same kind will be taken within tine
month by the farmers in three more
communities in the county. A vat is
to be erected on the Arthur Mccoy
place, between Dexter and the river,
by j. "A. Mccoy. DR.. J. W. Johns
and DR.. J. w. Scales, arrangemen
for this vat having already been
completed. A vat at Locust Cottage
and another at Spring Hill are also
likely to be built. the farmers in
those communities having already adj
vanced their plans we'll.
'In each instance. a small fee will
be charged for dipping the cattle, the
fee being just enough to pay for
operation and maintenance. In no
case is the vat being built as a
money-making proposition, the on~
idea being to furnish an opportunity
at minimur of cost. of waging a
winning fight against the tick and OF
era dicating the pest from the coun-
ty"
Mr.. Thomas will make the neces-
sarv tests to sec that the dipping So
luton is of the necessary strength.
and will instruc oilers how to make
these tess. so that the work may be
carried on properly and with the
most satisfactory results.

Three TIE IN GOLF
PLAY ON LOCAL links

A three-corned tie for the medal
was the outcome of the handicap
medal play at golf at the Country
club yesterday afternoon, c f. Bair
10 Nichol and Herbert Mann each
turning in a card of Is.
Mr.. Bair and Mr.. Nichol finished
early, and settled their tie by the toss
of coin, Mr. Nichol winning. They
then returned to the city. Later Mr.
Mann turned in his card, also Is.
Hugh Fox. acting as represe ntative
of MT. Nichol, 'ossed a coin for him
to settle this other tie, and again MIR.
Nichol was the winner.
Only one other player made the
course in less than 80 strokes: tits
being H. f. Trulock, with IS. There
were not SO many players out as
usual, due most likely to the hot
weather and the dryness of the
course during the drouth.

Revolt Is at End, Say Governors.

Washington. = simultaneously with
the forwarding Of the pan-American
appeal, word was received from Ell
Paso that six states and one territory
of Mexico have declared through their
military governors that the revolution
is at an end in as far as they are
concerned. Carranza and Villa or
other forces in arms would be met
by resistance should they attempt to
enter these precincts of Mexico.
Troops in these precincts will be re-
turned to peaceful pursuits. According
to the report, the declaration of the
military governors was made with a
view to preserving the integrity of
the autonomy of their communal or
ganizations to enable them to enter
peace negotiations without factiOnal
allegiance as between Carranza, Villa
or Zapata. The governors who thus
declared for armed neutrality are of
various shades of political affiliation
The territory of Topic favors Villa;
Oaxaca state has maintained inde
pendence; Guerrero's present status
