TeANLoRI'l,
QUARANTINE WILL BE RAISED.
North Carolina Cattle May be Sent to
Virginia Under Certain Conditions.

1t viii be good news to the western
part of the State, where grazing and
stock-raising is extensively engaged in,
that the quarantine in Virginia against
all North Carolina cattle is to be raised,
and the Federal quarantine line only
observed, as has been the case in the
past.
Commissioner Mewborne yesterday re-
ceived letter from State Veterinarian
Niles, of the Virginia Experiment Sta
ton, agreeing to do this under certain
conditions-and conditions with which
Mr.. Mewborne proposes to conform. Mr..
Niles writes:
ut appears to us that the quarantine
rules and regulations in your State are
not being well enforced, from the fact
that / have found ticks on cattle which
were loaded west of the Federal quaran-
tine line in your State. Hence, the re-
cent quarantine notice. l am aware of
the fact that this will put some of our
own stock men to some Inconvenience, as
well as North Carolina stock men; but

REQUEST FROM AN OLD NEGRO
A Colored Preacher in Alabama Gives
Livingston College $500.

A letter was received by the Governor
yesterday from u Montgomery (Ala.)
law firm, saying that an old eolured
preacher in that city, Allen Harmon. de-
ceased, had left Livingstone College, at
Salisbury, n. c., 500 in his will. The
letter says that Harmon lived in Mont
gomery perhaps all his life and was re-
spected by everybody. The will is writ
ten in lannon's own hand and is so
obscure as to meaning in some of its
parts that it will be necessary to have
it construed by court.
The Governor has turned the letter
over to Prof. w. Fl. Goler, president of
Livingstone College. This is IL most
worthy institution, and its friends will
rejoice to hear Of the bequest that has
been left it, and by a colored man. 1t
is to be hoped that 1t will be an example
that shall be in the future initiated by
many of that race. a5
Rev. Joseph Price, perhaps the most
gifted negro orator this country has seen,
was the first president of this college.

Section % of the State Commission

State Commission act; and the Inter.

fermly held, in at least seven reported
cases, that those words prohibited any
free passes except to railway employees
and officers of the road.
The presentments made yesterday were
sealed up and, of course, secret. For
this reason Solicitor Pou and members
of the grand jury refused to discuss their
contents or give any information in re-
gard to their contents. But somehow il
not only leaked out that the railroads
have been presented for the free-pass ini-
guilty, but DIR. Kirby Smith has been
presented for a crime second only to
rape-his relation with insane female pa
tents at the State penitentiary. This
presentment will also come up at the
January term.
l hear it intimated also that somebody
has been presented for having within the
penitentiary enclosure spirituous liquors,

use of the hospital. This is clearly u

This report says that during the term
six presentments have been made. The
Jail, work-house and county home, were
visited and are declared to be in good con-
