raE QUARANTINE RULES.

Special attention is called to the rules
and regulations concerning the trans
portation OF cattle from the region laid
troll at Blacksburg, Va, which order il
published elsewhere in this issue OF
THE TIMES. The area under quarantine
is comprised in line beginning on the
boundary between Virginia and North
Carolina At o point ooinciding with the
summis OF the Blue Ridge mountains,
thence northeasterly to the southern
boundary Of Bedford county; thence to
the James river and down that stream
to the southeastern corner of Charles
City county; thence noriheasterly to the
Atlantic Ocean.
From the 18th Of February to the 18th
OF November OF each year no cattle are
70 be transported from that area south
or below the State quarantine line to
any portion of Virginia above said line.
except by rail or boat, and then only for
immediate slaughter. Splenetic or
Texas cattle fever, against which the
quarantine ia made, is often carried by
OK teams coming from the infected re-
gior; hence particular attention IL
called to rules L and Q, which prohibits
the driving of cattle on foot from said
area.
These oxen are frequently covered
with the cattle tick. and in accordance
with section IL of the law. are prohibited
from being driven outside the quaran-
driven on the public roads with safety
il properly freed from ticks. Stockmen
living along the line Of travel should
insist upon the enforcement Of the
above clause and promptly report all
violations Of the same.

The Important Issue.

Political parties seem no to be some
what in the position they occupied in the
Titles Old issues have been overworket.
The young men OF 1856 were weary of
the issues their fathers had fought over
since 1897; the question OF the nonex-
tension OF slavery caught them, and
they rallied about Fremont. Neither of
the old parties in 1852 had ANYTHING
new. The Democratic convention OF
1852 reaffirmed nine OF the planks in It's
platform OF 1S4s, while the Wings in
dorsed Washington's farewell address
and favored the Wing tariffs Of 1928 and
1882. The trouble then was that, how
ever good the issues were, new Issues
were pressing for solution. The fnsn.
cial question Is new issue. Shall we
continue on q gold basis, increasing our
bonded Indebtedness to maintain q gold
reserve in the treasury? This matter
must be settled definitely by vote of
the people. 1t ia too important an issue
to rust out.-Chicsgo Record

ANTARCTIC EXPLORATIONS.
Cooks Second Expedition and the Lessons
That 1t Taught.

COOKS second Expedition and the Lessons
That 1t Taught.
1t was not until the results of Cook S
second expedition became known that tho
idea of n southern continent was aban-
doned, or rather very considerably modi-
fled. Many maps down TO the end of the
eighteenth century show continuous
stretch Of land extending in an obliQuc
line from Cape Horn almost as far north
as tho fortieth parallel. Cook himself,
who was no better informed than the rest
of mankind until he found out the truth
for himself, was seLt out to SEQ if there
really was n continent, and sailed with tho
assumption that there was. When he re-
discovered South Georgia, he concluded
like Du Fresno, that he had hit unon tho
skirts of this continent, but he did not i'm
mediately run homo with tho news. He
sailed round the islands, and called one
part Cape Disappointment to give lasting
expression to his chagrin.
1t was salve to his injured spirits to re-
fleet that if tho continent did really exist
farther southland most men NOWADAYS
believe that it does-it was, at any rate
not worth discovering, to judge of the
bulk by tho sample before him in South
Georgia. But oven on the top of this re-
Election he turned tho Resolution's head
W tHc cdst-SOulHeaSU ulu came very near
to being wrecked on the still less inviting
coast of Sandwich land. The north coun-
try collier was driving heavily before n
strong breeze, with a thick fog enveloping
everything, and with binding sleet fall
ing, when nomentary lifting of the fog
showed land dead ahead at distance OF
only three or four miles.
Finding himself in this prcdicament,
Cook hauled his wind to the north but
seeing it was impossible to weather the
land in this quarter, he tackled in 175
fathoms of water, l = E:iles from some
breakers. He did not investigate this
coast with any degree of mnuteness
When he left, he was unaware whether
Sandwich land was a group of islands or
part of the expected continent. The place,
no said, lay so far south and was SO very
uninviting that knowledge concerning it
was utterly futile. -Macmillan's Maga-
zine.

SCARED THE PRIVATE.
A Story of President Davis Visit to Gen.

Private Zach Dowty belonged to New

eral Johnston's army and is described by
the New Orleans Times Democrat rs "a
genial, open hearted, harum scarum fell
low, who was the life of the camp, fore
most IN all schemes OF fun and always
reauy LOT duty" Such men always have
plenty of adventures to relate, and Private
Dowty was no exception to the rule. One
OF the best OF his stories, one that he used
often to tell, was of an incident that hap
pened whilo on duty at General Johnston s
headquarters.
1t was dull time, and he was passing
tho forenoon in repairing his saddle and
brushing up his equipments generally.
Whilo thus engaged he heard tho approach
or footsteps and saw through the corner of
MS eye what appeared to him to be q well

Zach was just then Juggling ut tho

he answered grully:

Ihe stranger, in quiet tone asked il

sorbed in his work-ropcatcd tho question.
That made Zach ~ little impatient.
Yes, " he answered shortly but Won
can't see him.
All this timo Zach had not looked at the
stranger, but was now startled by hearing
him say in "a tone of commands:
Courier, tell General Johnston that
President Davis desires to sec him."
The amateur saddlcr looked IN. and
sure enough, there stood the president of
the southern Confcderacy.
Yes, sir; yes, sir, said Zach. "This
way, sir" And lac FASTENED on before Mr.
Davis into General .Johnstons presence

possess musical and dramatic talent
The Soldiers Home Band opened the en-

tnat were greatly appreciated by all, and
after short prayer by Rev. Mr.. Williams
the address of the evening was made by
Senator Hawley. Senator Hawley gave
"reminiscences of the war times, and drew
several lessons in obedience from the ffe
OF the soldier. He said that he was the
friend of all soldiers, because he was one
himself and that he had always voted in
Congress for any measure that would bene-
tit them. Senator Hawley was followed by
Gen. Stanley, who devoted himself to the
efforts made to provide a suitable place
where entertainments could be held at the
home, and. in conclusion, said that the old
soldiers there would witness many a treat
in the new structure.
Those who participated in the literary
and musical features of the program were

Members.

The troubles of the Morton Cadets, so far
as the National Guard end of the organiza-
tion is concerned, were ended last evening
when the company, assembled in special
meeting, decided to request the discharge
of the boiters. Messrs. F. O. Grayson, Will

O'Conrell, Harry r. Sisson. George Plugge,
William Clabaugh and C. p Ravenburg, in
the interest of the service. AS is implied a
discharge of this character carries with 1t
the suggestion that the National Guard
would be better off without the party in
volved, and is a compromise between an
honorable and a dishonorable discharge.
This action was taken in accordance with
the advice of Capt. Wn. Edward Horton
attorney for the Shilling faction, who made
long address al the meeting last evening.
1t was the determination. when the meeting
was called to order, TO take extreme action
but the sentiment was modified after Cart
Horton spoke.
