AN THRAX DEVELOPS IN
MARION COUNTY CATTLE
Deadly Disease Discovered by
Or. Morgan and Dr.. Cheney.

The most deadly disease among cat
tie, known as anthrax, has suddenly
developed near South Pittsburg in
Marion county. The alarming dscov-
ely was made by DIR. F. W. Morgan,
veterinarian, several days ago, who
was called to diagnose the cases in
that section. The seriousness of the
disease warranted further investiga-
tion, and to be sure that he was not
mistaken, the veterinarian brought
specimens to this city. In the labora-
tory of the Erlanger hospital Dr. W.
Ell. Cheney cultured the germ and de-
veloped the fact beyond dispute that
the disease is anthrax,
Many of the cattle near SouthPtts-
burg are suffering with the disease,
which is causing much alarm in that
section. The disease is contagious,
and when contracted by man, results
in fatality. 1t is summer disease,
and develops from special germ. SO
dangerous is the germ that cattle that
succumb to anthrax, according to the
law, must be burned instead of inter
red. This is done as safeguard of
tanners and those who might come in
contact with the hide.
DR.. Morgan pronounced the cases
anthrax, but on account Of the symp-
toms being similar to other diseases of
cattle, and knowing the seriousness of
the malady, he brought specimens to
this city for special analysis. The
germ organ was found by DR.. Cheney
with the aid of a microscope. With
chemicals the germ was cultured. and
DIR. Morgan was made certain of his
discovery He Immediately notified
the owner of the cattle and the state
authorities that the animals were
affected with malignant disease.
Marion County will undergo Sc
eond quarantine, section now being
restrained from shipping cattle be-
cause of an outbreak of Texas fever,
Anthrax can be stamped out by vac
ination, according to DR.. Morgan,
who, together with DR.. Cheney, has
gone to the infected section to vac
cinate the cattle. The same method
is used as for vaccinating for small
pox
The disease which is now threaten
ing the section near South Pittsburg
is very serious proposition to cope
with, according to DR.. Morgan, who
said that to his knowledge this is the
only outbreak in the state. -Chatta-

DAIRY BUSINESS ON
INCREASE IN MARION

/ Dairy business is coming industry
in Marion County. Mrs. Mary Pryor
is making great success of it at
Jasper, and is having lumber put on
glouud near the Pryor Mill, north of
Jasper to construct dairy building
some 40x150 feet in dimensions. She
has a splendid herd of cows, and has
made a great success in the business
She sells her entire product at South
Pitt.burg, meeting ready sale
There is some talk Of dairy being To-
Gated here. Some of our farmers have
lands that are better suited to grazing
than to corn growing and it would be
very profitable to them to change
their method of farming to dairy pro-
ducts. However, there is nothing
definite along this line as yet. The
very high price of milk and butter,
and the good sale for even the residue
from butter manufacture, buttermilk,
has put business within the grasp of
the farmers of this section, which has
not been considered before. The Van
Rohr Dairy at Delphi, Sequatchie
County, is a very up to-date dairy, and
excellently appointed, and it's owners
are meeting with ready sale for all
their products in Chattanooga.
Dairying is a coming business in
this valley. Large quantities Of
mountain side and mountain top will
eventually be partially cleared, leav-
ing only the trees of perfect growth
for timber purposes, and the lands al
lowed to grow up in grass, affording
splendid pastures. Dairy buildings.
with dairy equipment and gas engine
power, will be built at suitable points
along cool springs, whele cooling wa
tels will remove animal heat and pre-
serve the milk during the warm
months. In the course of time Sequa-
chez Valley butter will be known
product on the market and as famous
as the cheese produced on the noun
tain heights of Switzerland.

GOVERNMENT AUTHORITIES
WANT BRIDGE BUILT

Report comes to this place from
rarties at the lock and dam that the
U. s. government authorities, who
control navigable streams, have warn
ed the Southern Railway officials to
either finish their bridge over Tennes-
see River above the lock, or remove
the piers. The piers to the bridge
have been standing in the river for
quite a number of years, but the
bridge portion, the iron for which is
stored at South Pittsburg, has not
been completed. The presence of the
piers in the river constitute menace
to navigation, and the river authori-
ties are tired of waiting for the South
ern to complete the bridge and have it
watched properly.
