Since then se era cases have developed in Y? ikv.lle. Mr. P. W. Love had one o 1 his tine mules to die, and another was very sick, with what appeared to be glanders. Mr. Love sent for l)r. Xesom the veterinary surgeon at Cleinson, to come and investigate, and he came Tuesday, lie examined the sick mule, and also a 'horse owned by SheritT Logan, .that was sick, and prnouonced the trouble glanders. Dr. Nesom had to go down io ljHtio.iiHier Tuesday, and (lid not get back to Vorkville until Thursday. Thursday evening lie went out to K. 1?. Karnes' on the Kings Mountain road, whore there was a very sick horse and found a case of glanders more pronounced than any of the others. The horse was ordered shot and the stable burned. The mule belonging to Mr. Love and Sheriff Logan's horse were shot, in order to do away with the danger of spreading the disease. There is no known cure for glanders, and a horse, or mule that has it dies sooner or later after suffering great agony. After exposure, as has been demonstrated by experiments conducted by the French war department, the disease may smoulder for several months before giving any symptoms of its presence; in other cases, it breaks out in a few days. It is contagious, and is sometimes communicated by horses to men, with the same fatal results. One man in the lower edge of Y?>rkville, named Funjv, died with it just after the war, having caught it in attempting to doctor a horse that had it. ? Mrs. \V. K.
