Resolutions.

FREDERICKSBURG, VA, October s.
(Special)-Senator Daniel arrived here
this morning from King George. and ex-
pressed himself as much. pleased with
his handsome reception and the atten-
ton paid his address. 1t was the Sena-
tors first visit to the historic county,
and he found much to compliment
Senator Daniel was entertained In an
informal manner this afternoon at the
Exchange Hotel, where he met many or
our citizens. The Senator spoke tonight
To an audience that taxed the court
house to its utmost, and the Clerks Of
fico adjoining was filed with ladies',
who Wed with the voters in doing honor
to the distinguished speaker. Bower
ing's band was present, and lent the
aid of tuneful strains to make the occa-
sion a memorable one. The speaker was
at his happiest, and his telling points
were cheered to the echo. His remarks
we're chiefly devoted to State affairs.
National issues were not overlooked. and
Il was plainly shown that Republican
claims were preposterous and without
foundation in fact.
The speech was on the same lines as
that delivered at King George yester-
day. the exceptions being more ex-
tended reference to our banking system
and the necessity for financial reform.
He gave some interesting figures which,
he said. had been compiled by bust
ness-man of Richmond, showing the
operations of the national banks and
the dearth of currency in the twenty
two States that cast their electoral votes
for Bryan.
The Senator spoke for one and one
half hours, giving many interesting sta
tistics about currency, and the crowd,
at the close, were as eager as when the
Senator began to speak, and insisted
that he continue. Pleading fatigue and
the necessity of rest in order to I'LL fu-
ture engagements, the Senator bade the
crowd a pleasant goodnight, assuring
them that a splendid victory awaited us
in November

CAROLINA CATTLE CAN COME.
Action of the Board Of Control In
View of Position Taken There.

| DIR. L. p. Niles. the State Veterinarian,
arrived in the city yesterday, and Will
probably remain here for a couple of
weeks, until the cattle quarantine situa-
ton becomes more settled than it is at
| present Dr. Niles believes that the
prospects for Virginia's release from
| quarantine are very bright. Already,
he says. five counties have been released,
| and the enforcing of strict regulations
elsewhere will ultimately lead to the
raising of the quarantine all over tn,
State.
In relation to the recent quarantine
against Western North Carolina cattle,
he stated yesterday that the reason the
Board of Control issued the quarantine
notice of September 9th was that 1t APP
peared to them that the quarantine rules
and regulations of North Carolina were
not being well enforced, from the fact
that cattle infested with fever ticks had
been transported to the State of Virginia
from Western North Carolina. In fact,
there are now two outbreaks of Texas
cattle-fever in LoudoUn county.
On the 24th day CT September a car
load Of cattle was received by one of the
Richmond brokers, which were loaded
at Murphy. n. c., and which were in
tested with fever ticks Cattle have
also been received In Richmond previous
to this which showed every indication
OF having recently had ticks upon them.
When these facts were discovered the
quarantine notice of September 9th was
made public, and copies were mailed to
the Governor of North Carolina and
others, and the result was a long cor
respondence between Commlssioner-of-
Agriculture Mewborne Of the Tarheel
State. and DIR. Niles. in which the au-
thorities of the State Of North Carolina
took steps to rigidly enforce the quaran-
tine rules and regulations OF that State.
Because of this. and for the further rea-
son that the stock owners of Western
North Carolina had signified their inten-
ton to form themselves into an asso-
citation to guard against future violations
of the quarantine rules and regulations,
the Board OF Control of the Virginia
Agricultural Experiment Station on
Thursday revoked the quarantining
against all North Carolina, and cattle
from that portion of the State not under
Federal quarantine will be allowed to
enter the State of Virginia without re-
striction, unless otherwise ordered.
DR.. Niles further stated that he thought
there would be no further trouble along
the quarantine line In North Carolina,
as the authorities and stockmen of that
State seem to be thoroughly aroused to
the Importance of immediate and rigid
enforcement of their quarantine rules and
regulations, which, II done, would pre-
vent further introduction of ticky cattle
into Virginia from Western North Caro-
lima.

CAROLINE REPUBLICANS.

The Lynchburg Ticket.

BOWLING GREEN. VA, October s.
Special. THE Republicans of Caroline
met in convention here to-day. The three
Lamb delegates who bolted the conven-
ton at the last meeting here two weeks
ago were admitted, on condition that

ton as the only legal State organization,
and resolutions were also adopted call
ing upon the Republicans OF the county

ticket, not as the regular Republican
nominees, but as independent Republican
nominees. The convention then took steps
toward recognizing the party in the coun-
ty, and Mr.. Samuel h. Pitts, of Sparta,
was made county chairman in place of
Mr. j. ID. c. DeJarnette. The convention
also decided to put a legislative candi-
date in the field to oppose Dr. Quesen-
berry who will be the choice of the
Democrats, and fixed on Mr.. Samuel f..
Pitts as their standard-bearer. 1t is not
known whether Mr.. Pitts will accept or
