w the time to send in your names.
! Preventable Diseases Occurring in the
City of Darien
In our last we said we would tell you
how to prevent sickness, at least how to
prevent so towcA sickness. First of all, let us
take our water supply; where does it come
from; why, you would say from our xoells,
yes, and it is fine, cold, clear, clean water;
now put it under a microscope of strong
magnifying power, and what do we see ?
In a single drop of this apparently limpid
water we see myriads of living animalcu
lae and parasites of every conceivable dis
cretion. Now put a little permanganate of
potass in some of this water and it will be
speedily discolorized by the action of or
ganic matter in the water* Now you are
all perhaps aware of the fact that our wa
ter supply is obtained from surface wells,
and these wells are filled by the sub-soil
water which exists everywhere at a greater
or less distance beneath the surface of the
ground, there being no sewerage in our
town and the soil being sandy and there
fore porous; all the rain water falling on
our pig-sties, cow-stalls, stable lots, man
ure-pens, &c., passes immediately through
this perous soil into our wells. We are,
then, not drinking such pure water as we
suppose, but water freighted with the ele
ments of decomposition, both animal and.
vegetable, and with sulphuretted hydro
gen and otjier noxious gasses. Water con
cerns us in another way that is equally as
deliterious to health. We have always
flowing beneath our feet a tide of sub-soil
water which is freighted with good or evil,
as we use it well or ill. For the decompo
sition of organic matter, two things are
necessary, heat and moisture ; the first of
which is afforded by the sun, the other, if
we allow it, by this sub-soil water. In an
undrained soil as we have in this vicinity
there is alternately an elevation of this sub
soil water, during a wet season, and them
a gradual lowering by evaporation; here
we have in one case a dry layer of organic
matter moistend for the sun’s firment-ng
influence; in the other case a lower layer
which did not decompose while it was
wholly submerged, left uncovered in just
a sufficient state of dampness to favor pu
tresence. In either case malarial elimina
tions arise, poisoning the atmosphere and
undermining health. This explains the
fact that intermittent and remittent fevers
become more rife in either an unusually
wet season or an unusually dry season.
All of oar malarial diseases are to a greater
or less extent due to this soil saluration,and
beside these, there are scores of cases of
neuralgia, dysentery, and many obscure
chronic maladies, which are unquestion
ably caused by persistent malaral blood
poisoning, all of which might be easily
prevented by proper drainage. This
source of sickness, then, is preventable, at
least to a certain extent by paying atten
tion to our wells, and by a proper system
of drainage in our town, and by the per
sistent and careful removal of all debris
and garbage from the streets and yards,
for by attending to this we will prevent
the saluration of the soil with decompo
sing animal and vegetable matter.
This is a matter of vital interest to our
population and should not be longer ne
glected. There is another cause of disease
which is in a great measure preventable; bad
ventilation; what I mean by this, in our
community, is close rooms heated as warm
as possible, and an entire exclusion of
fresh air. It is a known fact that we inspire
oxygen and emit carbonic acid gas; now if
we do not allow a sufficient amount of
fresh air in our rooms, we will be compell
ed to breath or take again into the lungs
much of this carbonic acid gas already
thrown off! Now this gas when taken into
the human system in large quantities will
produce instant death, but if breathed or
respired in the manner above mentioned
will cause a number of diseases of dibility,
especially among children, and will cer
tainly lessen the chance of recovery from
maladies which are otherwise caused. Dr.
Caroll, who is excellent authority', says,
“there are other air poisons more positive
ly mischievous than carbonic acid. Out
of doors the atmosphere may be tainted
with the exhalations from putre-fying ani
mal and vegetable refuse, and although
this, if in small quantities and in a spase
ly settled neighborhood are rapidly diluted
by the surrounding air, in many places
they reach a dangerous accumulation. An
ill-policed settlement with its heaps of
discomposing offal, filth, sodden soil and
other sources of mephitic gases,is not only
the chosen home of disease, but a constant
menace to its better managed neighbors.
It is in such places that zymotic diseases
assume their most malignant form, and the
mortality, especially of infancy, attains its
highest point.” These facts being present
ed to you upon such good authority, as
Dr. Caroll, it behooves us all to look about
us; attend to the cleaning of our chambers,
having everything in the shape of clothes,
bed clothes, and all articles of apparel
properly' aired and sunned, see that all
filth of every description about our prem
ises is removed, and if that organ which
the all wise Providence has endowed each
and every one of us with, for the detection
of odors which are injurious to our health,
warns us of the danger of surrounding
filth and noxious gases, we should imme
diately look about us for the means to re
move and destroy this enemy of health and
comfort. These means are to be found in ,
the shape of disinfectants and deodorizers,
and if we do not use them, and pay strict
attention to future cleanliness it is our ;
opinion, and we feel satisfied that we will j
be endorsed by every scientist who has ,
given any attention to the prevention of
diseases,'that we are fostering a germ that I
will as certainly produce disease, and per
haps death, as it exists. Sanitary.

Sleetiiis Called.
We are requested by Mr. Jas. K. Clarke,
the chairman of the meeting held in this
city on the 21st of February, to call another
meeting for Tuesday next, the 9th instant,
for the purpose of deciding as to what dis
position shall be made of the fund collec
ted in Darien for the relief of the Irish
sufferers. Every individual who sub

to be present and, by bis vote, decide to
what fund we shall send our mite to. All
those who have not paid up are also re
quested to settle with the committe. - nen
between now and Tuesday next at 12 M.
All those who have not given anything
yet, would do well to give their mite to the
committeemen before that day r , so that
the whole amount can be scut at one time.
Our South Xevvpurt Letter.
Dear Gazette After the mildest winter
perhaps experienced in a generation, we
are opening into a most delightful spring,
with every encouragement as far as the
weather is concerned, to put in early crops
of everything. There is no reason to be
lieve there will be any more frost this sea
son, and if there should be, it will be so
light as only to effect the most delicate
vegetation; corn is not likely to be injured
by frost this spring; much complaint is
made of sugar cane seed, much of it kept
bad and a comparatively short crop will
be .planted, not so short, however, as last
year. The upland rice crop of last year
was very' good and tho acreage this year
will be more than double that of last year.
Bice is a hardy plant and as it becomes
better understood will be more largely
planted; it will doubtless be the staple
product of this section in a few y-ears, su
perceeding cotton and everything else.
Our farmers have been active the past few
months; fences are in good repair and the
land in good tilth; the coming crop will
be pitched under formable auspices and
with no protracted drought; farmers who
plant largely and cultivate liberally, will
find themselves much the better off finan
cially next Christman than if they had
planted cotton. The writer was very
much pleased and edified by the articles
on rice culture which appeared in the
Southern Farmer’s Monthly, of Savannah,
of February, that an upland might have
been enlarged upon somewhat, giving
more detail. I presume and hope the
subject will be taken up again by the same
able writer. The Southern Farmer’s
Monthly is a valuable publication and
should be in the hands of every Southern
farmer; indeed it is indispensible to every
progressive farmer in South and East
Georgia, being a subscriber meself. I
took the liberty of handing the copy you
were kind enough to send me, to a neigh
bor who will no doubt become a subscri
ber, as it has only to be seen to be appre
ciated.
I am again requested to call attention
to the public roads and bridges. 1 have
no desire to be charged with an ineradica
ble attachment to that peculiar feat of
horsemanship known as “riding a hobby,”
and hence my' silence on that subject for
sometime; readers at a distance, I hope,
have not reached the conciusion that all is
serene with the roads, that all law on the
subject has been enforced and no danger
by travel either by' night or day; it is per
haps well that I write at this time, assume
one may attempt this way at night; if any
one should I predict a funeral as well as
a claim against some authority for neglect
of duty. It is certain that no sane man
will undertake to drive a team over South
Newport bridge at night after they have
seen it by day', and none cross it by day
except those that cannot avoid it.
Hoping that your paper,so much prized,
will reach me with more regularity in the
future than it has for some time prst, I
remain yours truly, Mec.
South Newport, Mclntosh co., M’ch Ist.
Tlic Gazette ami the Timber Prices.
We find in the last issue of the McVille
South Georgian the following in regard
to ourselves, which we highly appreciate:
“The Darien Timber Gazette published
in Darien, Georgia, is one of the best edi
ted weeklies published in the State and
should be read by every timber cutter in
the timber region as it gives a full sum
mary of each week’s proceedings in the
timber market which is perfectly reliable.”
We thank our friends of the Georgian for
tlie above remarks. We have always work
ed hard to get the prices correct and to
give a faithful account of the market, and
if we have ever failed it Was no fault of
ours. We now get our items from the very
best sources and we insist upon the fact
that they- can always be relied upon by
our up country-friends. We are glad to
see that our friends are appreciating this
and are giving us credit for it. It has
been a great deal of trouble, heretofore,
during the dull seasons when timber was
not in active demand, for us to give tlie
exact quotations and keep up with the
market generally. Now, things have
changed and the prices of timber have
gone uj) and tlie indications are that they
will stay up for many months to come.
Yes, we intend to pay strict attention to
the timber market in the future, and with
the continued help of those who are now
assisting us, wi intend to make this fea
ture of the Gazette both interesting and
reliable.
Personal.
Alfred Herrington, Esq., a prominent
young lawyer of Swaynesboro, Georgia,
was in the city during the week.
James K. Clarke, Esq., and Donald M.
Munro, Esq., are on a flying visit to Flori
da, this week.
Mr. G. W. Barnard, of Waynesville, Ga.,
was in Darien during the week. We are
glad to learn that he intends locating in
our county.
Mr. Louis Collat, of the firm of Messrs.
Coilat Brothers, will leave to-morrow- for
New York, whither he goes for the pur
pose of purchasing an elegant stock of
spring and summer goods for the Darien
market.
Hon. Anson G. P. Dodge, of St. Simon s
Mills, wtts in the city on Saturday. Mr.
Dodge was on his way home from New
York. He is very enthusistic in regard to
the timber and lumber business and says
that the prices of that staple will remain
as good if not better tnan they are now,
for the next eighteen months to come.
He says that there is now tv great demand
for the pine and that everything in that
line is fairly booming at the North. This
will be glorious news to the timber men
and it will greatly encourage them to con
timte their cutting. Mr. Dodge is well
posted on these matters and we believe
what he say’s. We are sorry that he did
not remain in Darien long enough for us
ti have a long talk with him.
Timber Splinters.
The river still continues in fair rafting
order.
The timber boom continues to boom
right along.
Pull off' your thick shirt and get ready
for hot weather.
The demand for both square and scab
timber continues good.
Timber is selling for double tho prices
it sold for this time last year.
There are now- in port 25 vessels loading
with pitch pine timber and lumber.
Vessels continue to put in an appear
ance and all are in search of timber and
lumber. •
During the month of February there
were 722 rafts down, measuring 13,014,473
feet of timber.
The prices for both square and scab re
main about the same as last week; but lit
tle, if any change.
We call the attention of our many read
ers to the new advertisements to be found
in this issue of the Gazette.
The timber season will run into the
summer this year, and some think that it
will be good all the year round.
The Jiigli prices now being paid for tim
ber bear rather hard upon the Inspectors.
Overlooking one defective log frequently
takes from them the entire survey bill.
Mr. James Hunter cleared on Saturday
the German bark Adriana Petronilla, Capt.
Bichter, for London, England, with a
cargo of 385,200 feet of hewn timber, val
ued at $4,237.20; and 15,300 feet of deals,
valued at $184.09.
Mr. August Schmidt cleared on the 25th
ult., the American schooner M. B. Millen,
Oapt. Young, for New York, with a cargo
of 259,968 feet of hewn timber, valued at
$4,270; and 14,455 feet of deals and lum
ber, valued at $230.
The German bark Wilhelm 1, Captain
Peterson-, sailed on Saturday morning last,
after remaining in port nearly four months.
As she did not clear at the Custom House
we have been unable to get her cargo or
port of destination. She was loaded with
timber and Lumber by Mr. Jas. Hunter.
Our city has been visited during the
past week by' several prominent timber
merchants of the sNorth, who succeeded
in placing a number of large orders with
our dealers for corstwise shipment. The
importance of Darian, as a timber market
is becoming more manifest every year,not
withstanding the prediction of old forgies
that she has seen her best days.
Messrs. B. A. & J. Stewart cleared on
yesterday the British ship British Queen,
Captain Ellis, for Liverpool,England,with
a cargo of 790,000 feet of hewn timber,
valued at $8,090; 27,934 feet of deals, val
ued at $318; the British bark Suavesbrook,
Captain Beed, for Hull, England, with a
cargo of 159,014 feet of hewn timber, val
ued at $1,749; 133,016 feet of sawn, valued
at $1,470; and 10,533 feet of deals, valued
at slls.
Some of the timber cutters object to
having “pluged knots” marked on their
survey bills, btcause it injures their
reputation “on the other side.” If they
are so jealous of their good names we
would advise them, in all kindness, not to
put in any plugs as the inspector must
mark them if he does not want both his
reputation and his stomach to suffer. Be
sides, cutters are getting all their timber
is v'orth and should not seek to sell a log
that is worthless to the purchaser.
There was a slight falling oft in the re
ceipts of timber the past week, but there
haslieen sufficient received at our booms
to meet all demands and our dealers are
accumulating stocks for future emergen
cies. There has been no falling off in
prices; 900 average of square timber sell
ing for $1.33 on the average, about sl2 00
per 1,000 feet. Scab is doing equally as
well, 450 average selling for $10.50 to sll
per 1,000. The foreign demand contin
ues active with an upward tendency in
prices, and the indications are favorable
for a large business for the remainder of
the season.

Settled at Last.
After as hot a contest of rival interests
as has ever occurred over a railroad, the
Macon and Brunswick has at length pass
ed into the hands of the true friends of
that enterprise and of the city of Bruns
wick, and we congratulate the citizens of
that place on the auspicious result, which
is announced in the Atlanta Constitution
of Sunday last. Even then it was termi
nated by a close shave; for within fifteen
minutes after the road had been formerly
turned over to Messrs. Couper, Ilazlehurst
and the other members of the company',
an injunction was served at the instance
of Paine, “the ten dollar man,” forbidding
'that disposition of the road, but 15 minutes
too late is as good as fifteen hours,so far as
the transaction is concered. Amongst the
many friends of the road none are entitled
to so much praise as Mr. Geo. H. Hazle
hurst and Mr. James M. Couper. The
former has been identified with the en
terpise since its first inception, and has
stood by it through all its varied fortunes,
with unwearied fortitude. Brunswick
owes to Mr. Couper an endless debt of
gratitude for his efforts in her behalf.
No man in any portion lias ever shown
greater energy', sagacityx and fortitude
than he has, in rescuing this important
road from its helpless condition, and for
having placed it where in a few years it
will form the ocean terminal link, in
another great line from the West to the
sea. Mr. Couper has achieved in this suc
cess a reputation which marks the rise and
progress of the wonderful railroad men ot
America of the present day.
Serious Accident.
On Tuesday afternoon last as one of the
colored hands, named Sterling Gignilliat,
tvas at w T ork at the Lower Bluff mill of the
Hilton Timber & Lumber Company, he
by some means got his feet too near the
butting saw and was terribly cut. The
left foot had three wounds on the side,
the lower one extending from the base of
the toes to the heel; the others w’hile not
so long are considered more dangerous by
the physician as the bones of the foot are
splintered and tom up; the right foot has
one cut on the bottom extending across
the ball. The wounded man was brought
to the city and placed under the care of
Dr. Harris, who dressed the wounds, and
the unfortunate man is getting along as
well as could be expected.
We understand that Judge Fleming,un
der the late act of the Legislature, has ap
pointed Messrs. R. L. Morris, James Lacb
lison, William 11. Atwood, John Deacy,
Allen McDonald and George W. Faries
the six jury commissioners, for Mclntosh
county’, for the term of six years.
Have you given anything to the Irish
sufferers yet ? If you have’ut, do so at
once. The lists will ail be closed oil Tues
day and we hope that a good sum will be
realized by that time.
A Word to the Wise.

the public that lie keeps the very best and

speciality. Go to “The Old Reliable” when
you want anything in his line. whs-tf.

only first-class place in Darien where the
choicest brandies, whiskies, gins, wines, ci

desiring a fine article for family purposes
are especially invited to give it a call and
judge for themselves. febl3-tf.
Several of our young men have gone
into the skating business. Well the only
trouble we see with them, is that you
skate more on your back than anywhere
else.
The city is building a brick wall along
Broad street nearly in front of the Timber
Exchange. This is done to prevent the
street from wishing into the river. It is a
good idea.
