WAR PLANNED ON THE CAT
TLE TICK
Concerned Effort by State, Local
and Federal Forces, in
the South
Washington, March 20.—A con
certed campaign against the cat
tle tick in the South by federal,
state and local authorities, which
it is hoped wiU eliminate the
pest from all the Atlantic rtates
north of Florida, is about to be
begun. Alabama will join in the
fight with the expectation of rid
ding the state of the ticks that
still are found in a few counties
here.
Florida is to make a drive
against the pest in the counties in
the northwestern part of the state
contiguous to Alabama, and, as
the state eliminated the insect in
seven counties last year, it is be
lieved by department of agricul
ture authorities that the maintain
ance of the 52-mile long quaran
tine fence along the Georgia
Florida line will not be needed
much longer. The fence wa3
erected by Georgia after that state
had freed itself of cattle ticks in
order to prevent infested animals
from Florida crossing the border.
North of Georgia the only tick
infestation section is found in
three counties in Virginia and two
in South Carolina.
COLONEL COOUDGE
GAVE FARM TO SON
Family Homestead Transferred
Thrt*e Weeks Before Death
Plymouth, Vt., March 19.—
Three weeks before his death,
Plymouth learned today Colonel
John C. Coolidge transferred to
hisson, Calvin, the farm on which
members of the Coolidge family
have lived for generations. The
farm consists of 225 acres with
the wh.te farmhouse which was
the President's boyhood home.
Throughout the Colonel's life
time the family {iroperty stood in
the name of his father, Caivin C.
Coolidge. The town records show
that the transfer was made from
the estate of C. G. Coolidge to the
President.
The Colonel died ostensibiy pen
niless, although a man of sub
stance. Neighbors say that all
property other than the land was
made over to the President dur
ing his lifetime. Plymouth never
knew the value of the Calvin G.
Coolidge estate and the same se
crecy has been maintained in the
case of the Colonel's property.
There was no will.
In addition to the homestead,
the President owns the lime kiln
lot in which is the Coolidge sugar
orchard. This tract he inherited
from his grandfather.
POPULATION OF MANY
CAROLINA CITIES DOUBLED
Washington, march 18.—Spe
cial censuses showing increased
populations for 13 cities in the

ment.
Louisville, Ky., led the list with
a population on December 10.
1925, of 305,935, a gain of 70,014
since January 1, 1920. Greens
boro, N. C., however, made the
largest percentage increase, more
than doubling its population,
which on April 13, 1923, was 43,
525 compared with 19,861 in 1920.
Shelby, N. C., also more than
doubled, rising from 3,609 to 8,
854 by September 1, 1925.
Durham, N. C., nearly doubled
its population, there being 42,
258 persons in that city on Sep

SQUIRE MONEY TAKES
ISSUE WITH WELFARE
To the Editor of The Journal:
I see in The Journa! of March
12th an article headed: "One of
the reasons why Mrs. Kate Burr
Johnson would abolish North
Carolina's chain ^ang system."
After reading this article. 1 wish
to express my opinion on same.
Our prisons, and the manage
ment of our prisoners, may not
be the very best that they could
be. but we must romf-mbm- t h:tt
a large number of our prisoners
today have been behind the same
bars before, and after knowing
the conditions of the prisons, they
choose to iive such lives that they
must be sent there time after
time. Knowing this, do we favor
turning the whole thing over to
the officials of the Board of Cha
rities and Public Welfare? They
would soon give it up as an im
possible job. They would find
that it is much easier to stand
off and criticise others, than to
reach the goal that they had
wanted someone else to reach.
In conclusion, let me say that
we have hundreds of people who
live in the country that do not
fare as well as our prisoners do.
I say, if the Board of Public Wel
fare and Charity want something
to do, let them get out and work
among these poor people, and let
the chain gang system stay as it
is.—-J. C. Money, Yadkinville, N.
}C., March 15, 1926.
