4 THE FACTS IN JHE CASE. Fully and Frankly Stated by the Firm of Burden, Smith and Co. UNWARRANTED RUMORS Calculated to Do Damage—The Em pire Store’s Correction With Miss Knox’s Case. The following card from Burden, Smith & Co., proprietors of the Empire Store, will be read with inirrts: by the public: Macon, Ga.. Jan. 2‘J, 1898. Editor 'Evening News —dJear Sir; lo day'a tasue of rue Telegraph utaUa, with regard to •mallpox rumors, that Mdtou ia being slandered by the circulation ot fooliHh reports,” growing out of the two or three caaea that are now believed to be in our city, and we think that we might very Justly add that the same can be truthfully said with regard to our busi ness. These reporbs, so far as they relate to us, have been in the main so ridiculous and ,pr»posterous, that we have given th. tn no serious attention. The rumor, however, that Is now going the rounds, which Is published in the morning paper, to the effect that Miss Knox ‘.•contracted her case while working on a dress, eent here from Griffin, to be remodeled,” par ticularly as the same was published in connection with a conversation ot one of their reporters with the senior member of otfl- Arm, would seem to require more than a parsing notice from us. Our Mr. Burden has not talked with any reporter from the Telegraph since last Tuesday night, and at that time, the above, rumor was not in circulation, so far ar he knows. A careful scrutiny of our books discloses no trace whatever of any pack age, having been received from Griffin or Atlanta this season, and Miss .Miller, over her own signature, as will be seen below, states that she has no knowledge of any such package, nor has any employe in her department received one for their own ac count, each having been individually can vassed. As the proprietors and employes of our •bore all have families, deserving their care and protection, they are as much, .if not more, interested than any one else; in the city can be, in ascertaining the origin of the disease, .particularly that of Miss Knox, that they may use every possible precaution to avoid its spread, particular ly to members of their own families. Miss Knox has not been in very good health for some time. She has recently had a severe cold and cough, and when she complained of not feeling well on the day bhat she left our store, which was Wednesday, January 19th, nothing unusual was thought of It. When it was reported to us that she had smallpox, which was on the following Tuesday, upon the advice of reliable physicians, every precautionary measure on our part was promptly taken, to prevent the spread of the disease. Miss Knox has been in our employ continuously during the whole of the past season, and no far as we know, she has not been ab sent from the city, or exposed to smallpox. She was employed in the capacity of stock and time-keeper, for the dressmaking de- RY ’ And then stop, but pay a visit to our win- A-X vJXA L dows and see the stylish Hats—regular "O „ 1 prices $3.00, $3.50 and $4.00 — ' Now Going at $2.00.

She is simply the custodian of unfinished work, and assists the dressmaker in various ways. While we do a great deal of woj'k for patrons from other cities, it is the rule of our house not to make up goods, not pur chased from us, the idea and purpose of this department being to furnish -the ladies erf our city and section a convenience, of having first class work done at home, in stead of having to send abroad for it. ment on the part of the members of our dressmaking department will be closed, during the month of February, and until Miss Miller's return from New York, about the first week in March, during which time, as an extra sanitary measure, every article will be removed from the dress making department, the carpets taken up, the walls kalsomlned, and everything given a thorough ventilation. Happily for us, our trade is hurt little, if any, affected by the idle rumors in cir culation, and our business is going on as usual. There Las been no evasion or conceal ment on the part of the mefoers of our firm, or any employe in connection there with, so far as we know, of any fact in connection w'ith this case, nor auy dispo sition on our part to minify the gravity of the situation. We beg to say, therefore, that if news paper reporters feel it to be to the interest the public to publish any further ru mors, so far as we * are concerned, they will have no trouble in getting at the facts so far as we know them, upon application to us. Very respectfully, Burden, Smith & Co. Macon, Ga., Jan. 29, 1898. Messrs. Burden, Smith & Co. In answer to your inquiry. I have received no pack age from Grifiin, Atlanta, Montgomery, or any place, recently exposed to small pox.

But it was not alone the great Modjeska taac charmed them. For she is not the only artist of the star, and his acting almost as Haworth is a strong actor.

This donation has been made upon the condition that the people of Macon will contribute the amount necessary to pay off the existnig mortgage on the hospital property, and an effort is now being made to accomplish this object, in order that the hospital may have the benefit of the new building as scon as possible. The building will not be an annex to the old hospital, but will be entirely separate and will be made so at the request of . the donors, so that it may be a more distinct and appro priate memorial to their father, Judge Gresham, who was so long and so promi nently identified with the history of Ma con.
