Cattle Tick Law Being Made Issue in Wayne County-Anthrax Among Cattle in Coast Section
 of the State

Jackson, Miss, June 29.-(SpeciaI) ) Governor Bilbo spent one day at Jackson this week, having been called back to the capitol on account of meeting of the general board of trustees of the state colleges, at which few minor officers were elected.
 The governor found very little to do here and got out bright and early next day, having an engagement to speak at Richton. The day after that he went over into Wayne county, where he had Six engagements to speak in his canvass for Congress.
 It so happens that Wayne is one of those counties where the opposition to Governor Bilbo is rather strong. A great many of the farmers of that country are now and always have been against the statewide tick law, and for that reason are against the governor for anything he happens to want. The tick law was one of Governor Bilbo's pet schemes be- fore the legislature two years ago, but IL IS charged that in his campaign for governor he expressed himself violently opposed to that sweeping law, declar- ing. it is said, that he would veto such bill If the legislature attempted to pass It. The legislature did pass it and the governor never put the seal of his dis approval on it. For that reason a great many of the voters of the Sixth district have big knife up their sleeves for the governor, and they are making it very interesting for him. One of his chief opponents, Judge Paul Johnson of Hat tesburg, is making the tick law great issue in the campaign and it is said that he IS piling up votes against Gov ernor Bilbo on that account. Of course the governor has the best of the argu- ment with all sensible people, but there are scores of men in every district who ere not sensible men and who indorse the efforts of the lawless element to dynamite and destroy dipping vats Judge Johnson seems to uphold this lawiess ele- ment, being charged by the governor with having charged his grand juries not to return true bills against those who opposed the dipping law or who par ticipated in the destruction of the vats. He is said by the governor, and others, to have told his grand -juries that if they returned true bills for dynamiting vats he would throw them out of court, but Judge Johnson denies that.
 Anyhow Governor Bibo seems to ap- preciate the fact that he has the fight of his life in his race for Congress, and has been spending all his time in the Sixth district regardless of any business that may have piled up on his desk at Jackson. The governor has not spent an entire day at his office in Jackson in more than month-all state business be- ing attended to by long distance tele- phone to Private Secretary Buck. How, ever, the state does not seem to have suf- sfered in the

TROUBLE WITH BONDS

few weeks since the state of Missis- sippi sold bonds amounting to ss.o0o 0oo to New Orleans and St Louis syndicate. Last week the engraved bonds were re- ceived here for the signature of the gov ernor and secretary of state The gov error was down in the Sixth district looking after his campaign for Congress. and had the bonds shipped to him at Hat tiesburg last Sunday for signature, He signed and returned g, 900 of the bonds. but said nothing about the s8OoO00 not returned, and the officers here did not know but that they had been lost or stolen for two days. as they never heard from the governor. He finally returned them from I4eaksville and they were has tered to New York by special messen- gers On the arrival of the messenger in New York the bond buyers decline. to receive them until the governor au- thcrized the messengers to deliver them That authority was wired them Wednes- day night, and it is supposed that the bond deal is now closed. The trouble was that these bonds had to be delivered in New York before June B. so that $loo'
 600 of state indebtedness could be taken up promptly. Governor Bilbo Is being very severely citicized for not renal,
 ing in his office while such important business is pending. In fact, it is said that he registered this week. during the one day he spent at the capital as a visitor" at the governors office.

UNCLE SAM LEARNS !. THRIFT IN WAR TIME
Good Old Days" of Waste in the Army Are
 Past

Louisville. Ky. June 2s.-some of the
 economies practiced by Uncle Sam in these spendthrift days would make a thrifty housewife envious. The good old days in the army when the sol
 dier was allowed to overdraw his cloth i ing allowance without an explanation are past.
 A 'sbusted" pair of trousers, and half
 worn-out shoes are rejuvenated at the army camps and cantonments and mace to serve again. Even the names of army horses are scrupulously saved and sold to upholsterers.
 Torn trousers and worn shoes must be produced before like article in good order is issued. No limit is placed on the amount of clothing a man can get so long as he wears out that which 1 is issued to him.

 Too many broken pieces of bread in a garbage can will bring to the com mander of the unit notice from the commanding general of the camp to
 have his cooks issue bread in smaller slices so that none will be wasted. The general has learned of the waste through daily reports laid on his desk, Every pair of shoes condemned as
 unfit for further use passes under the eyes of skilled shoe makers in olive drab, drawn from the ranks. A sur prisingly large percentage find their way back into the quartermaster's s stock to be reissued. Some of them are practically reconstructed.
 soldier wears the seat out of a pair of khaki trousers, and gets 8 new pair. The soldier-tailor in the shops of the condemnation and recIa nation division finds another pair which have faded to about the same shade and replaces the missing seat. The garment itself goes back into store and is reissued for garrison wear As with trousers and shoes so with every piece of personal equipment is sued to soldier. Nothing is wasted, nothing is scrapped that possibly can be of use, and the scrap material itself Is carefully conserved for sale.
 All horses used by the army have their names roached. White and gray hair is kept together while all sorrel, bay and black hair goes into another lot. Each kind of hair is also divided ihto two lots, that from southern horses and that from northern horses. Dark horses hair brings about 70 per cent more than light. Southern horses
 nave coarse, heavy hair in the mane. Whlch IS not so valuable as that from
 the nner-haired northern type
 Besides the condemnation and recia-
 nation division is ceaselessly at work

THE SPIRIT OF BURkITT

For number or years, Frank Bur kilt, editor of the Chickasaw Messen- ger, at Okalona, was power in Mis- sissippi politics, and his influence is still felt, though he passed to his re- ward three or four years ago. Captain Burkitt represented his county in both branches of the legislature, off and on for 50 years, and during that time was candidate for governor on the Ocala platform of the peoples party, polling a considerable vote. His influence was felt this week when the trutees of the state assembled here to name officers for the university and I. I. and c. and when B. H. Hill, his son-in- Jaw, was elected secretary of the univer- sity at salary of $2000--prizing out Secretary Ross who had held the office several sessions, but who failed to se- cure the indorsement of Chancellor Powers for reelection. However, Mir. Ross was elected as secretary of the l. and I. and c. at Columbus. at sal- hry $500 better than he had been get ting at the university.

Others who felt Governor Bill bo's knife have done the same, and have won before the courts, so that 1t would seem the trustees have done a vain and foolish thing, the courts of the state having repeatedly held to that effect.
