reasons for house drainage.
Lines Mapped by Dr. FalUgant for
r r air. in* Yamacraw and the Cld
Fort.
Editor Morning News: All citizens of
Savannah who are familiar with the his
tory of the early stages of epidemio visita
t ons of yellow fever in Savannah, especi
ally general epidemics, will recollect that
the earliest cases have usually appeared in
the district east of Kast Broad street. Such
was the case in 1870; and you will recollect
that in the disastrous season of 1870 1 ad
vised you privately of the existence of an
epidemic type of fever with rod watery
eyes in the neighborhood of Randolph and
Liberty streets some weeks in advance of
anv public acknowledgement of the pres
ence of yellow fever in our midst. The
cases were then mild in character, and tho
epidemic nature of the fever was suspected
by me, because of tho fact that three or
four caS’S would appear in a single house.
The Bilbo canal at that time was in a
horrible condition, not a single tidewater
having been let into it from November,
1575, until the epidemic was under full
headway, in August, 1576. During this
long period of nine months the river gates,
through which the foetid contents of tiiis
canal should have been emptied into the
river, had not been opened a single time,
and the ammoniaco-putrid emanations of
this canal were, in my judgment, greatly
responsible for the appearance of that type of
fever naturally exhibiting red watery eyes
and flushed countenance, because these are
the very type of symptoms which that irri
tating kind of poison develops.
1 called upon the city surveyor, the late
John B. Howard, and upon the inspecting
chief of the drainage lines, the late J. Ki
Munnerlyn, than whom no truer man,
nobler character and intelligent official over
lived; and I got the facts herein detailed
from them in person. They had again and
again called attention to the fearful coudi
tion of this locality; but unfortunately for
us, we then had a council who did not be
lieve we could get yellow fever in Savan
nah unless it was brought in, never mind
how filthy were our local conditions. Poor
Mr. Munnerlyn was laid m the tomb—one
of the thousand victims to the pustilence
his intuitive practical warnings had sought
to avert.
1 mention these things not to excite angry
reminiscence*, but to cull lessons of wise
sanitation from tho grave of sad experience.
Immediately following tho appearance of
the fever in the Old Fort, Yamacraw began
to contribute her quota to the carnival of
disease. Thus from the eastern and west
ern sections there came creeping toward the
central portions of the city the death-deal
ing atmosphere of the pestilence. Witr
these startling facts looming up with lurid
light out of the cauldron of past woes, how
important it becomes that we so map our
drainage lines us to bear nway in the
cleansing waters the hot-beds of pestit al
effluvia from localities to which yellow
fever, whether of exotic or indigenous
origin, lias ever shown a singular and tena
ci us affinity.
The line indicated by me on Farm street
will receive others from West Broad along
New, William, Margaret, Harrison, Zubly,
Pine, Bryan, Olive, Joachim (now Bay),
Mill, Indian lane and Indian street. It
wall drain Battery ward from West Boad
to Jefferson; it will furnish magnificent
drainage to the stores and offices on the
north side of Bay street, and it will equally
magnificently drain the portion of the city
cast of East Broad from River street to
Smithville, beside giving an excellent out
flow to laterals from the Savannah, Florida
and Western depot yards.
Now if tho outlet for the general system
is carried from Bolton street, east of East
Broad, across the hill or slope s uth of the
river track of the Savannah, Floiida and
Western railway to the rig it of this track
and by a slight curve to a point about or
east of the intersection of Liberty street
prolonged oast ward and across to the Bilbo
canal, it cnH there receive the other line
skirting the Northeastern border of the
hill between River and Liberty streets; and
both these lines will have fall enough to
carry tho sewage eastwards to Habersham
creek (the nearest point), St. Augustine
creek north of Causton Bluff, or behind
Causton Bluff to the Timlier creek mouth.
The sanitary reasons I have above given
scorn sufficient to entitle this route to the
most careful consideration; and .the Farm
street lino itself offers an easy pumping
process for the district between Farm street
and the Ogeechee canal, because the quan
tity to be pumped would be small, the
elevation limited, and the appliances for
t.iis small work not very costly.
In regard to the eastern general outlets,
1 of course assume that engineers can cut
through bunks or hill-sides, aud fill up
hollow spaces, to such levels as will give
these general intersecting outlets the proper
grade fall; and that if it should be neces
sary to raise the grade or level of the Sa
vannah, Florida uud Western river track so
as to let the Liberty street sewer prolonga
tion pass under it at a proper level, this
also can be done. Such things are not diffi
cult, and have been dot e before.

JUSTICE TO THE PLANT SYSTEM.
Its Freight Rates Not Increased on Ac
count of the Fever.
Bradentown, Fla., Nov. 14. Editor
Morning News-. On Nov. 6 there appeared
in the columns of the News a communica
tion from me, as president of the board of
health of Manatee county, an appeal for
aid in behalf of sufferers by fever at Pal
metto, in which I mentioned amongst the
difficulties to which our people had been
subjected, of having to pay double rates in
the transportation of necessaries, by reason
of quarantine detention. I mado this men
tion, not as a complaint from a business
standpoint, but merely as a condition, but
it was a fact, nevertheless.
A few days since I received the following
letter from President Ingraham, which ex
plains itself, uud to which I replied dis
claiming any intent or purpose on my part
to include in what I said about ‘‘double
freight rates” any servico by the Plant In
vestment Company, either on water or by
rail transportation. My remark included
only the “Tampa Commercial Company,”
on freights brought from New Orleans by
steamer Lizzie Henderson to Manatee river
ports. In simple justice to Mr. Plant’s sys
tem of transportation to South Florida,
both by rail and water, I take great pleas
ure in stating that every facility possible
was given to our people in the
matter of transportation, and so far
ai I know at usual rates —no
increase certainly of which I have any
knowledge, and I believe what President
Ingruhain says in his letter is absolutely
correct. lam sure they kept the Kis-im
mee on the line to the Manatee river during
the whole course of the fever, and at great
risk, and surely must have been at very
considerable pecuniary loss. This steamer
vas the only means of communication and
transportation wo had, and I am sure, to
n>y personal knowledge, was kept on the
line only in the interests of suffering bu
rn a lity. The officers were uniformly Kind,
obliging and courteous to our people in
their-sore distress, and did many acts of
personal kindness for the benefit of the sick.
I am sure 1 utter the sentiment of our peo
ple when I say that the Plant Investment
Company as a corporation, and its officers
personally, contributed greatly to the needs
of our people in their distress aud suffering,
and it is but a simple act of justice—but
fine which I make with great pleasure—that
i make this public statement, and beg tnat
you publish the same.
E. M. Graham,
President Hoard of Health, Manatee county,
Florida.
pnKsiDZNT Ingraham's letter.
Sanford, Fla., Nov. 8, 1888.
Judge E. M. Graham, Manatee, Fla.:
I note that in a late communication you say
that transportation lines have doubled tbeir
rates, owing to quarantine difficulties. As our
line has be n kept open all summer at a loss to
us. without any increase in rates, and solely for
the purpose of supplying your section and
people with the means of subsistence, we do
not know why we should be so accused. Please
explain. J. £. Lnorasax.
DR. OEMLER'S OYSTER BILL.
He Makes a Statement Relative to
His Interest in It.
Wilmington Island. Nov. 16 —Editors
Morning News: Not being thick skinned
enough to be callous to the public opinion
of my fellow citizens, when 1 know my
motive is a sincere desire to promote the
general welfare, 1 feel naturally aggrieved
at the several misrepresentations contained
in the interviews in your issues of Nov.
16 and 17.
In toe first plao \ I have already dis
claimed any connection with the outrageous
oyster bill of the last session. In fact, when
I learned there was a hill before the legisla
ture I wrote to Senator Dilworth, to inform
me of its provisions, and asked to be per
mitted to share in it:; construction, but was
told it was then too late and I might have
it amended. I heard afterward it had been
veteod in consequouce of having contained
no provisions for its enforcement.
2. I am not seeking a monopoly for my
sons, and I should lie at a loss how to man
age such a scheme under the bill, but I am
seeking to insure a con Timed and increased
supply, and tiius to benefit the industry gen
erally and my sous incidentally. If by fair
dealing with the tongers, and from grati
tude for the passage of a bill securing to
themselves and their children a support,
they should prefer to sell the fruiis of their
labor to my sons, so much tho better. It
would be no more than a legitimate ac
knowledgment of benefits bestowed.
8. It is not true that bad weather inter
feres with the culling of oysters. It does
sometimes wi li tho use of the lung-handled
tongs, the process being executed in a
standing position. The tonger would bo
glad to rid his open boat of superfluous and
worthless weight in bad weather as quickly
as possible. If 4,000 small bents can cull
oysters over tho bods in the more open
waters of .Maryland, a smaller number can
do so in tho more land-locked creeks and
rivers of Georgia. If the provision is wise
legislation in exueriencod Virginia, Mary
land and New York, it is also wise legisla
tion in Goorgi i.
4. I do certainly opposo tho free trade of
oysters in July und August, for sanitary
and economical reasons, it is a sinful waste
of food stuff to open three bushels of shell
oysters to get a gallon of unwholesome,
watery trash, when in one or two months
one bushel will yiold a gallon of good oys
ters. It is also unjust to pay tho same price
for threefold the labor of tonging and open
ing the oysters. Poople on the const never
consume oysters before September. It is
also untrue that the trade generally disap
proves a shortening of tho season, Mr. Paff
having Consented to Nov. 1 and Mr. Ambos
to Oct, 1 as tho opening day, each before a
witness.
5. Oyster dealers, who handle the fruit of
the tongmen’s labor in town, know nothing
about the condition of the oyster beds, and
it is not true tnat they are still productive
and not being rapidly exhausted.
I uid not know who attended tho meeting
at Thunderbolt, hut I do know that I had
only informed a few white men at that date
of the provi ions of my hill, and that f was
personally told by a colored man in the
presence of Messrs. Sidney, Roberts and
Barbee, be had subscribed his money be
cause I had sought to restrict the oyster
rights to those owning $20,000 worth of
property, I had previously heard similar
reports, and that the prejudice and hatred
of these people wore being excited against
me by false representations.
Mr. M. M. Sullivan has on several occa
sions told me in the presence < f witnesses
I knew more about oysters than any man
in Georgia. lam simply seeking to use
that knowledge for the public good. Hav
ing explained the bill to a few of the oyster
men at, and near Thunderbolt, I shall have
nothing more to say upon this subject until
I appear before the committee of the legis
lature.
Should I fail, all I shall ask of my fellow
citizens is that in years to come, when
oysters have inevitably become scarce and
high-priced, (and I am no longer among
them), they wdl remember I spent time and
money in vain to p-event such consumma
tion under grievous misrepresentations,
while seeking to promote the public wel
fare. A. Oemler.
FHRNANDINA’3 doctors
Criticised by Oue of Their Profession
in St. Mary’s.
St. Mary’s, Ga., Nov. 13.— Editor Morn
ing News: Having noticed in recent issues
of your paper several commuuications con
demnatory of the action of the Nassau
County Board of Health in connection with
the recent outbreak of yellow fever in
Fernandina, I desire to place before the
public a brief statement of the matter. 1
write tnis article simply with a desire to
state facts ns viewed from our standpoint.
For the space of a month, at least, the
policy of the Fernandina physicians was
non-committal in its strictest interpreta
tion, and owing to the fact that but a very
few miles separate the two cities, our lia
bility to infection became oxtromoly im
minent.
In this emergency, being utterly unable
to obtain any official information regarding
the real condition of allairs in our sister
city, wo established as absolute quaran
tine; and even at a later period it was an
nounced in the public press that there was
not a single case of yellow fover in Fernan
dina. About this time I addressed a letter
to the health officer, and one to the presi
dent of the board of health as well, kindly
soliciting information. These letters have
never been replied to. And had we not
acted upon information derived from
private sources, this city would, in all
probability, have been crowded with refu
gees; and infection t e inevitable result.
St. Mary’s is not indebted to Fernandiua
for the immunity sho has enjoyed from tho
scourge of yellow fever, but to the in
dividual efforts of her citizens, both white
and colored.
The majority of tho physicians in Fer
nandina I number among my special
friends, and I trust, therefore, that tboy
will pardon mo should I , criticiso, in a
friendly way, their course of action in tho
beginning of tho present epidemic.
1 well know the harsh and unjust criti
cisms to which a medical man would sub
ject himself were ho to form and express an
opinion in the affirmative, unsupported by
one or more of his professional brethren
who entertained similar views.
But to my mind it seems utterly incon
sistent with reason and common sense that
a majority of them claiming to lie not only
“experts,” but “veterans” as well, educated
in tue wide and fortile field of pathological
research, versed also in the important
branch of symptomatology, should utterly
fail, after having held re, eated “autopsies”
and fortified by the visible signs usually
present previous to dissolution, to announce
any but negative results, subordinating, as
it were, their opinions to the commercial
interests of a town, regardless, apparently,
of the lives of its citizens, until compelled
by public sentiment to jft-oelahn to the
wo "Id the fallacy of such a course.
When there are “grave and suspicious"
symptoms present in one or more fatal canes
of fover, and there are dtirereuces of
opinion, as to whether or not the fever is a
typical one, I think the peoplo should, by
all means, have the benefit of the doubt.
This course can do no harm, and may ac
complish an Incalculable amount of good.
In Dr. Stnrbuck’s letter, which ap|ieared in
your isßue of Oct. fl, he uses those words
just before her (Mrs. Buck’s) doath: “She
vomited a dark-brown substance.” Mr.
Sesser, also, just before hi* dissolution,
"vomited a dark substance.”
Now If the doctor, In his nomenclature of
this special symptom, had made uso of a
more expressive “adjective" and more com
prehensive "substantive," the laity could
have grasped hi* meaning with much
greater facility.
Why not, doctor, call tho matter ejected
from tho stomachs of those ieonle “black
vomit” and havs done with itl 1 hope the
doctors in Fernaudina will take no umbrage
at what I have written. 1 have simply
stated my views, and every man has a right
to hit opinion.
We have not bod a single case of yellow

fever in this county, and I do not think we

and our guards are as vigilant as ever.
