Cattle Quarantine.

Stirred by the ravages of the hoo
and mouth disease that is killing cattle
in nearby counties in Pennsylvania, the
Delaware State Board of Agriculture held
a meeting in Wilmington last Saturday,
and after a conference with Governor
Lea and prominent veterinarians it was
decided to take every precaution to pre-
vent cattle being driven into Delaware
from Pennsylvania.
The Federal government has been
asked to help the Delaware authorities in
preventing the driving of cattle from
Pennsylvania over the borders into Della
ware and the State Board of Agriculture
requests Delaware farmers living near
the Pennsylvania boundry to report all
instances of cattle being driven into
Delaware.
No cases of the disease have been dis
covered in Delaware, but the general
opinion of all present was that it would
be easy to communicate the malady to
Delaware if cows, sheep and pigs are per.
mitted to be driven from Pennsylvania
into this State.
The hoOf and mouth disease" is vir- |
ulently contagious. Not only is it COM
municated by cattle, but even dogs and .
persons may carry the germs and spread
the contagion. While it is primarily a
disease of animals, human beings have
been known to take the disease and it
has been fatal in several instance, spar
Licularly among children.
Under the Interstate Commerce laws
and the laws of the National Department
If Agriculture the importation of cattle
rom the infected States into other States
~ railroad or boat is prohibited The {
pennsylvania and other railroad COM
'anies and the boat lines have refused to
hip cattle from Pennsylvania since the /
'hoof and mouth disease" became cpl 1
emic and so the only means left for j
attic to get into Delaware from Penn >
ylvania is by being driven from that {
tate into Delaware. This the State De o
artment Of Agriculture decided to pre- b
ent. :,
This is a matter that concerns every n
wner of cattle in the State. for under the c
w the Board of Agriculture will kill a
very infected animal that is discovered I
/ Delaware. 1t is recommended that Q,
lere be no commingling of herds for
While, and any conditions that arouse lt
IspiciOn should be reported at once to a " "
'terinarian. W
This applies also to horses, sheep and Of
gs and hogs. q
The present epidemic in Pennsylvania w. ~
the first of the disease reported in this
ctiOn Of the country. There have been
idemics of it in the New England
ates and in other sections, but not in
e West. The New England epidemic NJ
tied many months and destroyed thous. e aie
DIS of head of cattle before it was sup H,

IT is well to remind our friends

ties due to the public, and on be-
half Of rhe temperance voters who

will, and Attorney General-elect

Both Mr.. Pennewill and Mr..
Gray are indebted for their success
to the temperance element in the
State. They received about eight
hundred Prohibition votes, and the

IN this paper the people of the
Tenth Representative district of
Kent County, and the first district
of Sussex County, will find reports
of amount of money expended by
the Levy Court Commissioners of
each district during 1908. This
money is the five per cent addi-
tiOnal tax raised for improvement
of public roads according to law,
and is the money levied in 1907
the levy of 1908 will not be expend-
ed until this winter or next spring.
This is modest individual effort
by the districts to make better
roads, and is commendable but
what lower Delaware needs is two
main roads passing north and |
south through Kent and Sussex. |
The lateral roads will then come
of their own necessity. Let us
have good roads.

MACKENZIE MADE
SAFE FROM LOSS
Small Depositorsof State Bank Claim
Preference Was Shown 70
Others.

GOLDFTELD, February 21.-It has
been discovered that the State Bank
and Trust company since it closed its
doors made a partial settlement with
d. Mackenzie the largest depositor,
who had about 100000 to his credit,
by turning over to him stock in the
Keene Wonder mine to the amount of
nearly $4,000.
This was a part of a block of stock
held among the assets Of the bank,
and by turning over to him this big
block it practically made him a prefer
ed creditor. This stock is much more
valuable than when the bank first got
possession of it
The manipulation of this stock re-
duces M1ckenzie's deposit to about
$4,000. The revelation made regard
ing this transaction created an uproar
among the smaller depositors, as they
claim that the resources of the bank
were being looted in favor Of a few
favored depositors.
