THK ROMS TRIBUNE. SATUBDAY. OCTOBER 30. 1897.
SELMA PEOPLE MEET
Petition Governor of Alabama to Raise
Quarantine Against Stlmi,
WANT TO GO HOME NEXT MONDAY
Also Draft Strong Resolutions Thanking
City Authorities and Romans For
Their Hospitable Reception.
The Selma people now its Rome are
anxious to return home.
They believe that there is not the
slightest danger from yellow fever, and
may seriously doubt if there was ever a
case there.
A meeting was held in the Armstrong
parlors yesterday morning to discuss the
situation. Two committees were ap
pointed, one to draft resolutions of
thanks to Rome for its hospitable recep
tion of the refugees, and the other to
draw up a petition to the governor of
Alabama asking that the quarantine be
raised so that they can return horn.
The following are the resolutions of
thanks to Rome, which were unanimously
adopted by the meeting of Selma citizens.
Whereas: We are denied refuge in our
own state, and on account of the yellow
fever outbreak are compelled to seek
homes within the bounds of a sistei state
in compliance with the rigorous quaran
tine regulatiens of the state of Alabama,
and
Whereas: The mayor and city council
as well as the citizens of Rome, have ex
tended to us a cordial welcome, and have
accorded to us that hospitality which is
characteristic of most southern communi
ties; Therefore, be it resolved:
That we tender to the mayor, members
of the city council and all citizens of
Rome this expression of our gratitude
and heartfelt appreciation of their kind
ness at a time when the doors of our own
state were closed against us,
Mrs. Maby F. Knight.
Mrs. Francis Higgin.
Mrs, Dr. R. A. Rush.
M. W. Walker.
J. Brislin.
Ed A. Niel.
Committee.
No trains run into Selma now nnder
the quarantine regulations, and all citi
zens leaving the state cannot return un
der ten days, and must show a clean
health bill then.
By the petition to Gov. Johnstone,
they hope to have the quarantine raised
so that the Southern can carry them into
the city. Many wish to return Monday
next, and if their request is granted a
special will take them down.
There are probably 150 Selma people
in Rome now, as every train brings a
number who went on though to Nashville
last Sunday and Monday. Quite a party
arrived last night, and it is likely that
many more will come in today.
The following petition will be mailed
to Gov. Johnstone at Birmingham this
morning.
Resolved: That we the undersigned
refugees from Selma, Ala., having cause
to believe that yellow fever does not
now exist in that city, all suspicious
cases having been discharged, and no
new cases developed, do hereby respect
fully petition his Ex-cellency Gov. Jos.
T. Johnson to raise his state quarantine
against the city of Selma, on and after
Monday, Nov. Ist, provided no new
cases develop by said date.

PROSPEROUS ROME.
More Activity and Bustle Here Than
Anywhere in the Country.
Mr. J. B. Marvin, who has just re
cently returned from a trip north
talks interestingly of the business ac
tivity of Rome as compared with
other places.
After spending several days at the
Convention of American Street
Railway Association at Niagara Falls.
Mr. Marvin weat to New York City to
confer with Mr. Cunningham, presi
dent of the Rome Street Railway.
“Mr. Cunningham expressed him
self as being very well pleased with
the success of the extension to Mob
ley park. It is his wish, and mine,
to put on several new cars in the
spring. If we find we can do so, and it
is more than probable now, it will give
us greater facilities for handling large
crowds. The trouble now is when we
have large crowds to handle at any
point on the line, we have to center
our cars for awhile at this point, and
take them all off of tbe other branches
This, of course, is an inconvenience,
but I hope will be all right in the
spring.
“The old slow horse cars are still in
use in many of tbe busiest streets of
New York, and also in Washington.
I told friends in both places that I
woo d go beck to Rome and jump on
a modern car propelled by electricity.
The streets of New York are fearfully
torn up, and it is not much pleasuee
to be there now.
“I just want to tell you one thing.
When I got off here and saw the busy
streets thronged with people, and the
general air of bustle, it made me feel
good. Rome has more genuine and
solid evidences of prosperity than any
place I visited while away. It is the
best city of its size in tbe United
States today.”
COTTON off ten points.
The Market Broke Badly Yesterday—l 4
Pointe For Two Days.
The cotton market closed ten points
lower yestereay than Thursday’s close.
Thursday’s market closed four points
shy, making the total decline for two
days fourteen points.
The hopeful tendency of the first day
or so of the present week, and the steady
rise of a few points was wiped out. and
the week shows a lossage of several
points. It would be a matter of diffi
culty to predict what a day will bring
forth.
The local receipts continue quite heavy,
with street prices prevailing at for
middlings.
Farmers are beginning to hold back as
much as possible, though many are
forced to sell on account of maturing ob -
ligations.
It is a fact that Rome pays tbe very
top of the market in spite of the efforts
of a.few surrounding towns to injure this
city’s business. The farmer will get just
as good, if not better, prices for his cot
ton here, as any place in North Georgia
