PRICE SI .OO THE YEAR. VOLUME XI. LENOIR, 1ST. C, DECEMBER 22, 1908. NO. 15. Black Leg. Asheville Citizen. Farmers of the Hominy section of Buuoombe county, it is learned here are considerably exercised over the appearance among cattle in that vicinity of the deadly disease kuown as "black leg." Just what this disease is or what provokes it has not yet leen determined. That it is contagious and withal deadly has been fully established. The disease has made its appearance in other sectious of North Carolina and State Veterinarian Tait Butler haa been advised of the prevalence of the disease and is now coopera ting with the farmers in an effort to stamp it out. J. C Hiee of Candler, I'ppcr Hominy, was in the city today and in conversation with a newspaper man referred to the fact that what is believed to be "black-leg,, has appeared in his section of the coun ty. Mr. Rice says that the disease made its appearauce at in South Hominy, where cattle have died. Mr. Rice lost four tine yearlings last week. The yearlings died day after day until four were destroyed. Mr. Rice has been in communication with the State Vet erinarian relative to the disease and has received a vecciue to be used as a preventive. It is said that the disease is vsry contagious and very deadly. Farmers of Iredell county are al so alarmed over the appearance of the disease in that county. Last week several fine calves belonging to J. O. Gaither and Ned Lewis be came suddenly ill and died withiu a few hours. Dr. R. A. Bass of Statesville was called to see thecal casses of the dead animals and also live animals w hich showed slight svmntoms of beini: ill. Dr. Bass pronounced the disease "'black leg" but to be sure that he was right in his diagnosis of the case, he sent samples of the blood and tissue of the dead animals tu the. State diem ist at Raleigh. Dr, Bass has re ceived a letter from State Veterina riau Tait Butler, stating that there was no doubt that the disease is "black leg'' and asking that the farmers of that section be advised, no that every precaution may be taken to prevent the spread of the disease.
