Winthrop College Notes.

Rock Hill, October 3::-Perhaps
the readers of The Record would
like to know what the Williamsburg
delegation at Winthrop is doing this
year.
Our number is much greater than
it was last year, though of the thou
sand and fourteen enrolled only nine
teen are from Williamsburg. Five
of these are seniors, viz: Misses Lou
ise Barr, Elizabeth Speigner. jean
nette Davis and Eugenia and Kate
Roper. The juniors are: Misses Paul
inc Gordon, Grace Perry, Lucille
Cooper and Minnie Strong. The
sophomores are: Misses Daisy Strong,
Edna and Rowena Eaddy. The
freshmen are: Misses Virginia Will
son, Vista McElveen, Leora Gamble,
Pauline McCants. Emma Lifrage,
Lois Nesmith and Daisy Rollins. We
want our number to increase even
more next year, as we believe Win
throp college is doing a great work
for the women of South Carolina
and we desire Williamsburg county
to come in for her lions share of it.
Everybody here is hard at work
now. The old girls have taken up
their accustomed tasks and the new
girls their novel ones. with deter
mination to make this year count a
great deal for them.
The new gymnasium has been com:
pleted and is ready for use. Every
one will be required to take bodily
exercise each day. as it is believed
that physical development is just as
important as is mental. j DIT.

A COUNTY MATTER.
The Eradication of the Dreaded
Cattle Tick.

Washington, D C, October BE
cause the cattle tick always has been
in the South is no reason why it al
ways should be. When the Federal
Government, as result of its inves-
LEGATIONS into the harm done by the
pest, determined in 1906 to under
take the work of systematic eradica-
ton, its first step was to quarantine
the infested area. This territory in
cluded at that time 12S.543 square
miles. 1t has, since been reduced to
444,022 square miles and tens of
thousands OF miles are being freed
from quarantine each year.
1t is obvious. therefore, that the
tick can be driven out. The process
is a simple one and its efficiency
proven. Regular dipping in arsenical
baths of all the cattle in county
will put an end to the pest in the
course of one season. This fact is
indisputable. The lack of success in
some cases has invariably been due
to conditions which have made Dip
ping irregular or incomplete. There
are always some persons who, if left
to themselves, will shirk their share
in the work and neglect to bring
their cattle to the vats. In some way
these must be forced to do their
part. Again, the number of vats may
be too few to handle all the stock
and the consequent delays may seri-
ously interfere with the progress Of
the work. Such obstacles, however,
can always be overcome. They do
not affect the essential point that
the tick can be eliminated whenever
and wherever the people are deter
mined to do so.
Primarily tick eradication is a
county matter and must be accom-
plished by county effort. The United
States department of agriculture.
however, stands ready to lend the
services of its trained men to any
county in which the people are suf-
ficiently in earnest in the matter to
build the necessary vats and enforce
the necessary dipping regulations.
If the people are not willing to do
this, it is useless to expect anything
from the Federal men. They can
help only those who want to help
themselves.
The first step, therefore, is to de-
termine whether the people really
do want the ticks to go. If they de-
eide they do, the Federal inspectors
will supervise the construction of
the waist preparation of the baths
and the actual dipping of the cattle.
They will assist the local men in ev-
cry way within their power, but they
cannot supply the money that the
work demands. AS matter of fact,
however, the amount required is not
large. In number of counties that
are now free from quarantine, tick
eradication has been accomplished
at a cost of from 19 to 90 cents per
head of cattle. As it is conserva-
tive estimate that cattle in a tick
free county are worth $40 a head
more than in ticky one, the invest
ment seems to be a sound one.

Germany Protests Against Restric-

Christianta, via London, Oct 23.- The German minister has presented to the Norwegian government a note, protesting against NOrway's embargo on the submarines of belligerent countries.
 cussed the note, but it's decision in the matter has not been made public.
 The press unanimously supports the government in it's right to issue such an ordinance, as Sweden has already done.
 Dr. Alfred Zimmerman, the German under secretary for foreign affairs, is quoted by the Norwegian correspond ent of the Copenhagen Aftenposten according to an Exchange Telegraph despatch, as declaring that the Ger man note to the Norwegian govern rment is a serious one, cOntending g that Norways action conflicts with paragraph IS of The Hague conven- +ion. and is incompatible with strict neutrality, and, furthermore, that Germany will not calmly submit to such action.
 During the continuance of the ne- eotiations, the correspondent adds many German submarines are operat- ing off the Norwegian coast and are stopping and examining vessels leav- ing Norwegian harbors.
