A LETTER FROM THE TICK
ERADICATION LEAGUE.
Fdi+or coroordia Sentinel .

Editor Conccrdia Sentinel:
Dear Sir:-The Tick Eradication
League has taken up with state and
federal authorities the question of
an active participation Of the farm
erB in the administration of the law
as it effects their vat, with the result
that the authorities welcome the APP
pcintment Of a committee Of citizens
at each vat with whom the Inspector
Will cooperate, and they agree heart
lily to the plan of having the people
in each vat territory name one Of
their number who will operate the
vat if for any cause an inspector IS
not present. This man will be in
structed on just how to prepare the
solution and vii be furnished with
the proper instrument for testing
and will be fully authorized TO con-
duct the dipping and his reports will
be accepted by the authorities as
official.
/ 1t is easy to see that these provis-
ions vii avoid many Of the errors that
have been made in times past. Here
tofore, when the Inspector failed to
appear, there was just cause for COM
plant by people who brought their
cattle to the vat. That cannot happen
now. In tho past much dissatisfaction
and charges of favoritism have re-
suited from leniency ard favors,
real or imaginary, that were shown by
the inspectors. Under the present
plan these things can't happen, be-
cause the citizens committee viii
know fully what is being doae and
viii have asscnted to it. 1t has hap
pened that the weather wouldbe un-
usually severe in the early spring or
late fall, and contentious have arisen
over dipping. Again, many people
who favor dipping, believing them
selves and their Ieigh5ors free of
ticks, have complained about being
required to dip when their pastures
and cattle were free Of ticks. With 2
farmers committee to cooperate, all
sucn matters can be adjusted salts
factorilly in the future.
Briefly, the national and state au-
thorities are meeting the League
fairly and propose to cooperate wit:s
the farmers in the fullest sense. They
have studied carefully the things that
have given rise to friction in the past
and they will avoid these things in
the future. They will meet any wish
or desire of the farmers except such
as would defeat the purpose Of eradi-
eating the tick, and when a request
such as that is made they will take
care to explain the reasons why it
would defeat the tick eradication
program.
There is no doubt about the in
tentions of the authorities in this
line, and, with the League supporting
we can carry out our program with
the least possible labor and incon-
venience.
Sincerely yours,
r. L. HINES, Secy.

A white man by the name of JOS
eph Norton, of Natchez, was killed
about two miles from the city by un-
known assassins Thursday morning.
The body was discovered early Thurs
day morning, with a bullet hole
through the head, showing that he
had been shot from behind. Some
money was found on the body, which
proves that the murder was not COM
mitted for the purpose of robbery.
Norton was frequently in trouble,
and it is supposed, that he had some
enemies who took advantage Of the
chance to lure him to his death.
