Circus DiSinfected.

Spartanburg, Sept. John Rob
inson's circus was tied up here to-
day by representatives of the bureau
of animal husbandry of the depart
ment of agriculture, and required to
thoroughly disinfect its cars, stock
and animals with the view of destroy
ing Texas fever ticks with which the
circus might be infected. The pro-
cess of spraying and washing pre-
scribed by the governments agents
was followed and it was late tonight
before the work was done. The first
intimation the circus people had that
they were in for the general clean
ing was advice from Mr.. Otis, local
agent of the Southern railway, that
his road had been served with notice
from government authorities not to
move the Robinson circus from Spar
tanburg to Hendersonville, N. c., un-
til authorized to do so. The action
was taken to prevent a violation OF
the cattle quarantine regulations for
bidding stock from a tick infested
district to be shipped into a clean
territory. Just now the government
is making an effort to rid Spartan
burg county of fever ticks and this
accounts for the presence of the gov
ernment's representatives here.

Then Hutton began dancing, exc
