and he hid behind the doos to see which
his SOU would choose. I, csme The hoy,
whistlinR. He ran up to the table and
picked up the dollar and put it IN his
pocket; he picked up the Bible AID put
it under his arm; then he snntched np
the bottle of whiskey and took two OF
three drinks and went out smncking lis
lips. The old dutchmau poked his head

THE QUARANTINE FOR CATTLE
Commissioner Mewborne Gone to Wash
ington to Have it Changed

Commissioner of Agriculture New
borne and his attorney, Mr.. J. C.. L..
Harris, left yesterday afternoon for
Washington.
The commissioner is making efforts
to keep Marion and Wilkesboro open as
points for the shipment of cattle, by
securing Il modification of the govern
ment quarantine line against Texas or
splenetic fever. He says that this is
what used to be termed distemper; that
if cattle are kept off the range so ticks
cannot get on them, there is little chance
of their getting the disease, which is
due entirely to ticks. The United
States Secretary of Agriculture says
cattle must not be driven across the
quarantine line for shipment to other
States, but that oxen used in hauling
can cross the line.
As matters are now, beef cattle from
the chief cattle raising counties of the
State are driven fifty miles to Abingdon,
Va, and thus the North Carolina mar
kets get no credit for them, and the rail-
roads get no haul. Virginia gets the
credit for North Caaolina's fat cattle, as
she does for her choicest tobacco. The
commissioner wants North Wilkesboro
MADE the snpplng point. III is now De-
low the line, and cattle can't be driven
there before the 10Th of November. BY
that date the cattle drive is practically
at an end.
Another object of Mr.. Mewborne's
visit to Washington is to have the Bull
letin put back as second-cass mail mat
ter and sent out at newspaper rates. He
thinks he will have no trouble in doing
this. If it can't be done he says he is
going to continue to issue the Bulletin
just the same and put a one-cent stamp
on each copy. This will make differ
ence in postagefof about 5000 above the
amount now paid.

THE n. c. INSANE ASYLUM.

A visit to the State Hospital in Raj
eigh, now under the careful management
of DIR. Kirby, would be sufficient to con-
vince any man who has his States inter
est at heart, that a change of admins
tration would work injury to this great
institution for relief of suffering.
The grounds around the buildings are
being rapidly improved and beautified.
The gardens ares plendidly kept and fur
nish bountiful supply of fresh vegeta-
bles for the $50 patients. Every appoint
ment in connection with the institution
is kept in the neatest style, and order
in every ward and department is evident
to the visitors eye. The new annex.
which is being built and which will be
paid for by wise and economic manage
ment. without an additional appropria-
ton, is now nearing completion, and will
accommodate 100 patients. We under
stand there will be some apartments fur
nished within this annex where "pay
patients" cam be taken and treated, thus
supplying to the institution a long need
ed necessity.
