lowed to go into effect before March
80.
In the meantime, the lumber inter
ests in the territory III question will
prepare to present additional arGu
ments to the Commission to show that
the proposed rates would be unTe22Cn
able, and would work great hardship
The lumber manufacturers located
in the southern states, east Of the
Mississippi river, are aroused over
the attempt of the railroads of The
Southern District to make the advance
in freight rates from their mills to
what is known as central freight as
ISOLATION territory, which territory EN-
braces all points in the states of Hi
nois, Indiana, Ohio and Michigan, to
gether with rates to certain portions
of Pennsylvania, West Virginia and
New York.
This situation would greatly affect
the mills in the Hattiesburg vicinity,
as practically all sales are made de-
liyered at destination, and this con-
advance would, therefore,
mean that tt yellow pine manufac-
turers would be practically compelled
to absorb whatever additional freight
is added to the present rates, as no
change in the freight rates from mills
west of the Mississippi river is con-
templated by the railroads in that sec
ton.

SWEET POTATOES PROFITABLE.

Mt. Olive, Miss, Nov. 2a--Calhoun
McCollum Company has completed a
large building, in which to store sweet
potatoes. They contracted with farm
ers at 35 cents, and took 1000 bushels.
The potatoes are stored in bins and
kiln dried. This is new in this sec.
ton. An acre of ground should pro-
duce $50 bushels of potatoes, so the
farmer can make more money than
by planting cotton or corn.

2,209 MILES ARE
FREED OF TICKS
FIVE COUNTIES IN MISSISSIPPI

Washington, D. c., Nov % Areas
amounting in the aggregate to 1913
square miles and situated in the
Estates of Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana.
Mississippi, North Carolina and Vir-
ginia, will be freed from the tick quar-
antine on December l. Previous re-
leases bring the total for the years
work to about $4,000 square miles
the greatest area released in any one
year since systematic tick eradication
was begun in 1906. At that time there
were 741 ,515 square miles under quar-

the original area.
The new order releases the whole
of five counties in Alabama, one in Ar
kansas, one in Louisiana, three in Mis-.

In addition, parts of two counties in
Alabama and one in Mississippi are
freed, together with those portions Of
two counties in Alabama one in Mis-
sissippi, and one in Virginia which
were formerly under quarantine All
told, twenty counties are affected in
whole or in part.
More territOry-5.345 square miles

than in any other state. The success
Of the seasons work there is attribut-
ed by federal inspectors to the hearty
cooperation of the state authorities,
1.-THE county authorities. and the people
in the communities concerned This
cooperation, it is said, sprang from a
definite purpose to raise more and bet
ter cattle and eradication of ticks has
been accomplished in several instances
by the importation of pure bred stock
and the erection of silos.
In Lowndes county, for example, two
brothers built five concrete silos of 250
tons capacity each. and brought in
from Kentucky $1,000 Hereford bull
and 80 Hereford COWS for the purpose
of raising pure bred Herefords for the
market. In Dallas county. 80 register
ed bulls had been brought in by Sep
TENDER % and 10 new silos built
AS the work of eradication pro
crossed, it became possible to ship into
the open market cattle which hal been
federally inspected and founC to be
free from ticks. The higher prices
which these cattle brought demonstrate
ed conclusively the value OF the cam
.paign. In Limestone county, which
was freed in September, about Lice
head of cattle that were shipped oct i'll
this way brought an average Of SO
head more than the prices prevailing
below the quarantine line. TIE cost
to this county of freeing its :5,0GG cat
tie from ticks is estimated at approx
mately 80 cents a head.
In counties with a greater number

per head has been considerably small
~ than this. Thus, the $4,000 cattle
in Marengo county were cleaned for
less than 80 cents a head, the cost OF
zach dipping being less than 3 cents.
Il this county, 1913 watts were built be-
tween March 10 and May l, and II
more at odd times thereafter These,
together with the 6S watts which had
been in existence before, were suffi-
lent to clean up the 97S square miles

ARREST Of ARCHIBALD

Case.

Following a conference between Attor-
ney General Gregory and District Attor-
ney Marshall. of New York. at the De-
partment of, Justice yesterday it became
practically certain that James F. J.
Archibald, the American correspondent
in the Dumba incident. will be arrested
when he lands from the steamer Rottsr-
dam at New York on Friday. =
No decision was reached as to the
charge which is to be preferred against
Archibald, but little doubt exists in the
minds of officials of the Department Of
Justice that Archibald will be u.Id OH
some charge, II only a technical one.
pending a final decision by the depart
cent as to the course to be taken in ais
case. District Attorney Marshall was
asked to study the data at hand bearing
on Archibald's alleged offense. so that
he might formulate his opinion as to the
charge which ought to be made against
him. The district attorney left here this
afternoon with the intention of wiring the
Attorney General an opinion by Thurs
day. He viii exercise a large measure of
responsibility in deciding as to the char
acter of the charge which Is to be made
against Archibald when he is arrested.
Archibald already has indicated that he
will base his defense upon the contention
that he was ignorant Of the character
of the dispatches he bore from Ambas-
sador bnmba. He declared he had been
deceived by Dumba and he thought the
messages he carried were of a HARM

WOULD REOPEN RATE CASE.
Western Roads Tell !. C. c. Those
Allowed Are Too Small.

A petition was filed with the ln:er-
state Commerce Commission yesterday
asking that body to vacate its order In
the Western advance rate case which
nermits the carriers affected to put in
to operation on September 80 advances
over present rates that would yield the
roads an increase of about $1.700.000
annually. The petition was filed by
T. J. Norton. representing the Atchi-
son. Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad.
and w. F. Dickinson. attorneys for the
receivers Of tho Rock Island.
The purpose in asking for the vaca-
ton of the order is to reopen the mat

arguments to prove that the increases
allowed are not sufficient to afford
reasonable compensation to the rail-
roads.
