FATAL SHOOTING BETWEEN
TWO YOUNG MEN.
VETERAN EDITOR IS DEAD


Ruleville.-A pistol duel fatal to
both participants, was the culmina-
ton of long standing ill-feeling be-
tween w. A. Dyer. Jr. 81. and Sam
Toney, So. The quarrel which re-
suited in the death Of the two young
men, arose when Toney came to the
Dyer home. He was met at the gate
by Dyer, Senior.
Friends OF the two men attempted
to pacify them and it is said that
Toney had started to return to his
home when young Dyer came out OF
the house to the gate. According to
the reports Toney seeing the young
man coming out OF the house became
enraged and returned. When within
four feet Of each other the two drew
pistols and began shooting. Young
Dyer was shot four times. Toney re
ceived three bullets.
Both men were well-known farmers
living near each other about four
miles from RuleviIle.

Agriculture.)
The annual toll of the Texas fever
cattle tick in the infested area OF the
South reaches a staggering total. Yet
the tick itself is q small parasite, Sc
curing its s~ustenance by taking little
sups of blood from the animals and
often passing on to them the dreaded
Texas fever. Many cattle owners
who have always been accustomed to
see both ticks and ticky cattle on
their farms unfortunately are not in
clined to attach much importance to
cattle ticks, and, as a rule, through
lack Of appreciation of their damag-
Ing effects, consider them as Of little
consequence. Ticks take their toll
in many ways, all Of which are not
generally understood. Their power OF
transmitting Texas fever would alone
demand their complete eradication.
but there are other good reasons for
Kidding the South of cattle ticks.
1t is not uncommon to notice eni-
mails on pastures with their hides
very heavily infested with ticks. By
continuous sucking Of the blood from
the animals, the ticks ~impoverish
their circulation and the cattle must
be fed heavier in order to meet the
demands of the ticks in addition to
the ordinary needs of the animals.
This condition, together with the loss
of blood. frequently induces an irri-
table state and evidences of uneasi-
ness. commonly known as tick
worry" which results in loss of en-
ergy and in other arrangements in
h animals health. Especially dur
ing hot weather, in pronounced cases.,
the animal loses flesh in spite Of good
pasture, and because of reduced vi
tality is more susceptible to the in
roads of disease. If the animals be-
come heavily infested the growth of
the cattle may be retarded. IN many
parts of the South young cattle are
thin, veal and stunted, q condition
which has been termed "tick pow
erty."
1t does not appear strange. when
It is considered that some animals
harbor many thousands Of these
blood-sucking ticks. that the milk flow
from mich cows is greatly reduced.
II these ticks are crushed, it will be
found that their intestines are COM

gestion of borrowing from Miss Tyrell
completely out of his mind.
There was a last resource, but AL
bion hesitated for a long time before
he was driven to employ it. This was
to mortgage the quaint o~ld-fashioned
and not very valuable homestead Ia
the village that had been left to him
by his dead mother. He felt it almost
sacrflegious the day he affixed his
signature to a mortgage for one
thousand dollars. but there was no
way out OF It II he expected to e
plot his formula.
Albion did not inform Miss Tyrel
OF his plans. He secured q leave Of
absence OF . month from the works
and simply told her that he would
probably be absent most Of that time
In the city. She missed him before he
had been gone q week. She wrote him
friendly letters showing that she es-
teemed him. and they wer sweet balm
to his anxious soul at the most try
ing period Of his life.
For Albion. inexperienced In the.
financier, was suddenly confronted
with worry and complication that
tested all his faith and nerve. The
broker had proceeded to develop his
formula by organizing . stock con-
pany. This cost money. There was
expensive advertising. there were
large fees to pay to expert chemists
