Under the regulations a permit for burial issued by a local s<r registrar must be obtained before Cl the body of a person can be ,Tj interred.

The attending physician or midwife at a birth must file a certificate within ten days after date of birth, and in cases where neither are present this duty ^ devolves on the father or mother of the child. 1 The law provides that a local registrar shall receive 25 cents c~ for each birth and death certifi- 1 cate, properly executed and filed 1 with the St^^^^^fcrar.

Monroe Railings, a legally and lawfully appointed cattle inspec tor of Chesterfield county, appointed bv the State Authorities, came to my home and he and myself with the assistance of one or two others, sprayed 19 | head of my cattle. The follow ing day they began to die and continued until 10 head of the 19 sprayed died. Dr. Railings was instructed by the State authorities how to dilute the medicine for spraying and how the cattle should be handled, and if they gave him the correct information he carried it out to the letter; he was even more careful than I would have been had I been preparing the medicine. He measured the medicine and water each and every time, and prepared only enough to spray one cow each time. Dr. Railings and others had told me that the proportion was 1 to 9. To see if he was preparing it that way I counted after him several times, and his counts were correct. Dr. Earle of Cheraw Drepared the barrel of medicine, from which Dr. Railings sprayed my cattle. Dr. Railings was working under the instructions of Dr. Earle. Dr. Railings knew nothing of the real strength of the solution; that WAS nnnn r? f r??o K....: ? * * .w.v ui 11 AO (uaiuc&s. II was his businees to take the solution as Dr. Earle had prepared it, dilute it 1 of medicine to 9 of water, and applyihwhicl^ he 'Ifll^P^riattes, which hechcRn the 4th day following the spraying. He saw some of the live ones that were "affected" and iradean "autopsy" of one of the dead ones. After Dr. Earle had satisfied himself, as to the conditions and cause of the death of the cattle, I asked him what he thought. He replied that it must be a case of arsenical poisoning. The cattle were all well and hearty prior to being sprayed The government furnishes Dr. Karle with an apparatus for the testing of all solutions. Dr. Earle tested the medicine after my cattle had been sprayed and part of them were dead and he told Dr. Railings that he had made it a little too strong. After making the barrel of solution he should have tested it before any of it was used but he didn't do it. 11^ 4^1.1 f*- T? If - - - 1 * ? i iit- iuju ui. naiiings rnai ne uia nol test it after he prepared it. Still Dr. Earle is allowed to retain his place, in the beginning Dr. Ivarle talked very fair and seemed willing to do the right thing about the matter, realizing as he did that it was his carelessness that caused the death of my cattle, and not Dr. Railings. Drs. Lewis and Earle came to see me one day recently concerning the matter and they efuse to pay me for my c ittle or to assist me in any way to get pay for them. From their conversation I am lead to believe that Dr. Earle has or is trying to lay the blame on Dr. Railings, who is perfectly innocent. It really seems that proficiency and honest conscientious work does not count for anything in the tick eradication work in Chesterfield county. If so, some of the ones whose services have terminated would have been retained, while some of the others' services would have terminated. No man in the State has had as much trou: ble to contend with this year as cj T k l * sy** <*+ rx-v _ g?i.uu per year Dr. Railings. Notwithstanding, he seemed equal to th t is:;, and has accomplished as much <u perhaps more than nn\ other man could under tin- existing I circumstunces.
