they are free from disease before they can
be offered to the market
This will no doubt cause some little
Inconvenience here for the next few days,
for AS set none Of the railroad COM

The Southern is making arrangements

aptine pens between their freight

United States Inspector Curtis has been
here since March %, and says that
some time ago he notified the rail-
roads that the new regulations would

10 construct cattlc-pcns. The =. -
Brauers Cattle Company ana the SOUTH
nrn railroad are making active efforts
20 get Western North Carolina released
from the quarantine restrictions Ihspec-
tor Curtis yesterday received a tele-
gram from Dr. ID. T.. Salmon. Chiet
Of the Bureau o. Animal Industry. stating
Mat the department there was rcady
10 take such action in regard 10 North
Carolina. but were only awaiting the
action Of the Governor Of the state.
by government reports North Caro-
lima has about 5000 head Of cattle, or
about as many as Virginia. Of which
most are I'm the western part. which
makes II an objective point for buyers.
There Is no friction whatever between
brokers. or railroads. all OF them work
ing together for the common good.
THE GUARANTEED COUNTIES
T. will De remembered that the quar-
antino placed on the whole state Of Vir-
einia. on account Of the prevalence Of
splenetic-feyer among the cattle, which
was 20 80 into effect on February 18TH
and continue until November 18th, was
through the efforts Of the officers
or the experiment station, so modified
8s TO exempt not only the hfty-one coun-
ties formerly exempted, but thirteen
more. including Henrico.
The following counties IN Virginia are
now within the quarantine district: Ches-
terrified. Powhstan, Cumberland, Bucking
ham. App0mGttaX. Campbell. Patrick,
Franklin. Henry. Pittsylvania, Halifax,
Charlotte. Prince Edward. Lunenburg,
Aiecklenburg Amelia. NCttoway. Dinwid-
die Brunswick, Greenesville, Prince
GEORGE, Sussex. Surry. Southampton, Isle
OF Wight. Nansemond. Norfolk. Princess
Anne. James City York. Warwick, Eli
Eabeth City, Gloucester. Mathews, Acco-
mac. northampton, also that part of car

CANNOT STOP EN- ROUTE
Should cattle coming 10 this city from
an unaNected territory through an IN
fected territory be stopped for any pur-
pose. such as by accident or for feeding
or watering. such stock will be deemed 10
have been infected. ana will be as fully
ouarantined against as II coming direct
from AN infected region. Thus. II Norfolk
and Western stock is stopped at either
Elrkeville or Petersburg. and is deliver
cd by the railgo Dads as tot infected cattle.
such railroad Will be fined not less than
200 This likewise applies 10 any stock
unloaded by the Chesapeake and Ohio
road AT Lynchburg.
II viii thus be seen that the roads most
affected by the quarantine viii Toe the
Southern. the Norfolk and Western, and
the Atlantlc-Coast Line.
An effort Is being made by the Southern
railroad 10 run through trains from Ten
ncssee through North Carolina without
stopping in order TO prevent being quar-
untnel.
