PART OF ALABAMA OPENED
 TO FEVER INFECTED POINTS

described. The line takes a slightly northwesterly course after leaving Phoenix as the map will show, Mo Crary being a higher latitude than the point in Lee County where it begins. This was arranged in order to make the exposure of the State from the Vest ern directions smali as possible. Most of the danger that now remains is from Louisiana and Mississippi. Montgom- cry is still in the quarantine zone.
 Guards to Lose Places.
 When the withdrawal of the quaran- tine takes effect this afrternpon at least one-third of the States quarantine forces will be dismissed from service. The men who remain on duty are to work the trains entering the State from the southern section of the State. They will work the passengers up to the points on the dividing line and then catch the next train on the same roads that return to the Southern border. For instance. passengers from infected points will not be allowed to get off the train until Calera Is reached. The same applies for the Western Railway as far as Opelika and on the Mobile and Ohio and Alabama Great Southern Railroad as far as Tuscaloosa. Like wise. refugees travelling in an opposite direction will not be allowed to go farther than the points on the dividing line of the State.
 Dr. Sanders said yesterday that he had decided on recommending the quar- antine modification because he believed it but just to the State and the points of infection where the yellow fever Is surely on the decline. The series of frosts in the northern part of the State have inspired the county health officers with confidence in the safety of the measure at this time.
 North Alabama Willing. Before making his decision. pr. San ders called up over long-distance tele. phone the health officers of Tuscaloosa Jefferson, Calhoun and other counties to ascertain their opinion of modifying the quarantine. He told them to can. vass the attitude of the people in theil counties and see if withdrawal of the restrictions would meet with genera accord. From every health officer whc followed these suggestions, Dr. Sanders received a unanimous report of ap proval and there is practically no op position as far as can be found. The vigilance of the officers protect 1 ing South Alabama will not relax in tht least for some time yet Pensacola especially will be watched as it is re. cognized that the fever there is tho only menace to Alabama of any con. siderable moment this late in the sea. son.
 Tomorrow Dr. Sanders will go tc Castleberry unless some thing unex- pected interferes with his plans. He will there look into the situation and if no suspicious fever Is found he will most probably raise the ban off the strawberry town. Every report com ing from that point contains no indica- tion of the spread of the fever from the only two cases that developed. Governors Proclamation. The proclamation of the Governor was as follows:
 PROCLAMATION.
 Whereas. The quarantine. under proclamation issued from this ofiee, has been in effect against certain in fected districts in Louisiana. Mississippi and Florida for the whole State of Ala bama; and.
 Whereas. It now appears there is no danger from infection in the Northern section of this State.
 ' Tt is. therefore, ordered that the quarantine be raised and that all quar- antine restrictions be withdrawn from that part of the State of Alabama lying north of the following described line: Beginning at Phenix. in Lee County. the line will follow the Central of Geor- gjs Railroad to sylacauga. thence along
