thusiasm.

fret a wife
He was a
onade County,
lumber of the
i-and Farmers’
Division in the Bureau of Ani
mal Industry, called today on
the officers of the Southern
Commercial Congress in Wash
ington, at the request of Dr. A.
D. Melvin, chief of the Bureau
of Animal Industry. Their vis
it was for the purpose of dis
cussing ways and means where
by the whole South could be
aroused quickly to a realization
of the drain on its commercial
side through the ravages of the
Texas fever tick. They estimat
ed that $4,000,000 a year is lost
ih the Southern states, not only
through actual death of stock
but also through: ,
1st. Reduced milk produc
tion.
2nd. Reduced capacity for
gains from feed.
3rd. Reduced selling value of
stock.
The result of the conference
*was that the Bureau of Animal
Industry and the Southern Com
mercial Congress will co-oper
ate in the next annual conven
tion of the Southern Commer
cial Congress, to be held in
Nashville, Tennessee, April 8,
9, and 10, 1912, and, in the di
vision of agriculture, give com
prehensive attention to all
phases of stock raising in the
South.
The Bureau and the Congress
will work together between now
and April in order to familiarize
the subject of tick eradication
to commercial organizations,
cattle raisers, railroads and fi
nancial forces generally. In five
years one fifth of the infected
territory has been cleaned up.
It is believed that through a
broader understanding of the
whole subject, the next five
years may possibly see the lift
in" of cattle quarantine from all
portions of the South.

ite men entered Bald Knob
at an early hour this morning,
held up and robbed two mer
chants, while in their stores,
and later made their escape.
They were seen going .towards
Memphis, and although a posse
immediately took the trail, the
bold highwaymen had not been
captured at a late hour tonight.
R. H. Upchurch was the first
merchant to be visited by the
bandits. While engaged in op
ening hi# store for the day) the
two men entered, holding up at
the point of a revolver and tak
ing a small amount of money
from the cash drawer. Mr. Up
church was then bound and
gagged to prevent him making
any possible outcry, and the
bandits left the store to visit
that of Albert Collison, where
Mr. Collison was treated in the
same manner. Again only a
small amount of cash was the
robbers’ reward, but Mr. Colli
son’s - watch was taken by the
men.
Owing to the heavy masks
worn by the men, neither mer
chant was able to give accurate
descriptions of the holdups, but
said that they were white men
and apparently middle aged.
Very Fine Attraction.
The presentation of “The
Third Degree” one of Klein’s
great dramas, by a company of
clever actors under the United
Play Company, scored an envia
ble hit at the opera house Wed
nesday evening.
Managers Parvin and Doherty
are to be complimented for se
curing such an atrraction and
the public in turn to be criticised
for not giving this company a
better house, as the door re
ceipts were only $150.
Play-goers are inclined to find
fault with a management for not
bringing better attractions and
yet when a meritorious produc
tion comes along, empty seats
tell the lack of appreciation or at
least support such good things
really secure.
This play lays bare the hefa
-.'io “third degree” practice of
-.one'of the police courts and is
instructive, as well as emotional
and dramatic. The company in
cluded a‘cast of recognized tal
ent and few better ever came tc
Newport.
