 The Alabama Board of Health will insist on the establishment of relay station somewhere along the New or leans and Northeastern Railroad outside of Alabama for insuring fresh crews and cars coming into this State from New Orleans and other infected points.
 The telegram of Surgeon White indi- cates that Mississippi will not consent for relaying of passengers. crews or cars or her soil in the future There Is a relay station on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad at Grand Bay, just inside the Alabama line. which protects the State against infection in that d. rection. The camp there is in full op- eration and everything is snid to be working smoothly. The efforts for fur ther protection are now being directed so as to obtain a relay camp for trains coming through Meridian into Ala bama.
