Lacy, the newly elect ed commissioner, took the oath of of fice before-Justice Walter Clark; He then appointed W. E. Faison assist ant commissioner, and together they made formal demand for the office. Hamrick refused, contending that the Legislature had no. right under the constitution to- elect a commissioner, or any officer, except those of the two respective bodies.

State Board of Health Has Appointed an Inspector to Visit Infected Districts. - Vaccination Will be Ordered Un less Disease is Checked. By Telegraph to the Mornlnjr Star. Raleigh, N. C., March 15. Small pox coutinues to spread in this State. Up to : trJ-pight its appearance has been reported in twenty connties. of the State. The latest; cases reported are from Guilford, Moore and Warren. The counties in which : case3 have been reported to ' the State ' Board of Health - are : Currituck, Pasquotank, Perquimans, ' Gates, Bertie, .Tyrell, Edgecombe, - Warren, Wayne, , Ala mance, Guilford, Buncombe. New Hanover,, Northampton. Johnston, Wake, Columbus, Halifax, McDowell, and Moore. i '. ; So rapidly is the disease assuming the proportions of an epidemic that the State Board of Health has. ap pointed a smallpox inspector. Dr., Henry - F. Long, who successfully treated seventy-five cases in Iredell county last Summer, was selected. He will visit infected districts, compel quarantine of patients and direct their treatment He began service this morning, going first to Warren ton. From there he will, go to Burlington. The disease is - worse at these points than anywhere else. , It is especially bad among the mill opera tives at Burlington. Compulsory vac cination in the town and county has been resorted to. Compulsory Vaccination.. . At Greensboro the authorities have given the peonle three days' notice to be. vaccinated, and failure to comply with the ordinance will subject the offender to twenty dollars fine. There is one case in Wilmington and it is rigidly isolated. Tne town or Ulinton, in ttampson county, has quarantined against Wil mington and .Norfolk. The greatest secrecy prevails in in fected districts as to the extent and fatality of the disease, .and this is one of the reasons that induced the Board of Health to appoint an inspector. TTtiIaks thft AnidAmift ia srtAAdilv checked, compulsory vaccination will be ordered over the entire State. Many Cases in Virginia. Richmond, Va., March 15. There are a good many cases of smallpox scattered throughout the eastern part of the State, . but the disease, is of a -mild type. Deaths are rare. In a few counties it has not. been deemed wise to hold the courts this month. Pris oners from communities where the disease prevails are not being brought to tne penitentiary nere, lest it should be introduced in the prison, and this policy has been entirely successful. The information obtainable to-night as to quarantines that have been established is meagre, but no quaran tine is maintained here. FLOODS IN GEORGIA.

ByTelegTaphtotlieMornliueStar. - New York, March 15. Without showine special activity themarket for cotton ruled generally firm all day.' The loss sustained yesterday was recovered within the first few minutes, and a further gain was scored later in I the mornine on a small rush of shorts to cover, together, with moderate buying in the delive ries by foreign representatives, inspired by uhiavorable news" from the cotton belt and unmistaJtanie. evidence oi a better feeling in speculative t circles abroad. In the afternoon, however. interest in the market fell off to a narrow scalping"! business, except at the close, when the usual spurt of ac tivity occurred. The. opening was steady, with prices one to three points higher, and almost immediately the lead was increased to a matter of five to ten points. ' The close was steady at a net gain of four to five points. An advance of one! to two points in fu tures and sales of 12,000 hales spot cot ton at well sustained prices in the Liv erpool market to-day, had hardly en tered into the calculations of shorts at the close last night nor had widespread precipitation in the cotton belt been anticipated. . j- ' x New - York, r : March 15.
