DOLLARS OR TICKS?
Asking farmers whether they
dasire to feed cattle or ticks,
the U. S. department of agricul
ture is about to embark on a
spectacular campaign throughout
the tick-infested region of the
South to arouse farmers to take
the steps that will stop the annu
al tribute of $50,000,000 now be
ing paid to the tick. Attractive
ly colored and illustrated litera
ture will be used in this work.
As the result of the anti-tick
campaign one-third of the tick
infested area of the South, a re
gion as large as the German Em
pire has been cleared since 1906
but it is now desired to push the
work much more rapidly than in
the past as the country needs the
meat the South could profitably
supplv if the tick were banished
and the South needs the dollars
that will roll in when the tick goes
out.
The department stands ready
to co-operate with any county
that wishes to engage in this
work. Agents of the Southern
Railway’s agricultural depart
ment will also aid the farmers in
warring on the tick wherever
possible and will co-operate with
all agencies engaging in this
work.

SHOAT TALMADGE VICTIM
OF OSCAR WILLIS’ AIM
\
Shoat Talmadge, a negro liv
ing on the farm of Sheriff Craw
ford, was fatally wounded Satur
day night by Oscar Willis, a ne
gro living with Louis Henderson
on the Mays place. The shoot
ing occurred near Mr. ,). G. Col
well’s.
Talmadge was shot in the ab
domen and lingered until Mon
day. He was carried to Atlanta
Sunday night but expired before
the operation could be performed.
There was only a slight provo
cation for the homicide, it was
declared. It appears that the
blacks were having a dance, the
participants being out in the
yard, when Willis appeared on
the scene driving a frisky mule.
The mule was driven uncomfort
ably close to some of the women
dancers and Talmadge is said to
have remonstrated mildly with
Willis for his careless driving.
This angefed Willis and he went
home and secured a pistol and
returning to the scene shot Tal
maldge at close range.
The dead man was a trusted
and valued employee of Mr.
Crawford and was known as a
lawabiding and inoffensive negro.
After the shooting Willis made
his escape.
