THB HARRIS’ NECK EPIDEMIC.
Tbs Mclntosh Authorities Were DlM
gam In LooJtln* Alter the B!ck.
Dawks. Ga., Nov. 24. —Editor Morning
yews: From the reports published in the
SIoESIsO StWj sod other papers in toe
gate an impression is made that the au
*4ioritiei ot Mclntosh county have been in
(afferent and derelict in duty regarding
tbs small-pox cases at Harris’ Nsck, in this
county. The facts are, that on Oct. 15 it
was reported to the health officer, Dr. P. 8.
Clara, that there was considerable sickness
at Harris’ Neck, and the oases resembled
those of small-pox. Haring learned
there were about 350 people living
at the. neck, 400 vaccine points
were immediately ordered by telegraph.
Tne health officer. Dr. Clara, was sent out
to investigate the matter ithe infected dis
trict being twenty-eight miles from
found fourteen bouses infected,
and under authority of the board of com
missioners he app i tiled P. C. Dolly, J. P.,
local quarantine officer, and five guard? to
confine the residents of the infected bouses
withiu their limits and prevent outsiders
from going among them. He vaccinated
238 persons living on Harris' Neck, and
sixty-one just across the river. The county
has sent rations to the sick, and
were about to establish a pest-house
to remove all the cases too, when informa
tion a< received that the government had
taken charge. The authoritiee of the county
have done, and were doing, when Dr. White
took charge, all that it was poaible for
them to do with the limited means at their
command. The negroes living at Harrle’
Neck are noted for their industry and thrift,
and we knew that they were, as a whole,
well supplied with necessaries ef life, bav*
ing just harvested abundant crops of oorn,
potatoes, peas, sugar cane, eto.
The waters around them abound
Id fish and oysters. The health
oificer found one family at one of his visits
salting and curing a large lot of fish. There
was considerable difficulty In getting the
negroes to submit to vaccination, one of
their colored preachers having advised them
against it, sayiDg "it would kill more than
the small-pox.” The negroes say that the
disease was introduced there through some
clothing belonging to a woman who had
died with small-pox There has been but
one additional house Infected since the first
visit of our- health officer, and he reports
ten deaths up to Nov. 20. There have been
some mild cases of varioloid among those
who had been vaccinated. There have been
no new caset in Darien since Sept. 5. The
disease was brought to Darien by a negro.
The people here are glad the government
has taken charge of the infected place, and
hope the disease will soon be stamped out.
We ask that the foregoing be published,
as we desire to be set right before the pub
lic and be relieved of the stigma of being
indifferent to a matter involving the pro
tection of the health of our own people as
well as that of others.

A Car and 75 Bales or Cotton Burned.
A hunawey Horae.
jEStrp, Ga. , Nov. 25.—A car and seventy
five bale* of cotton on the Eat Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia track were consumed
by fire here Sunday afternoon. The origin
of the fire is unknown.
While Mrs. W. M. Robinson and J. M.
RobiasoD, who live a few miles from town,
were on their way here on Thursday to
attend the marriage of the latter
to Miss Yarbon, the horse they
were driving took fright and
ran away, throwing the occupanls out of
the buggy. Mrs. Robinson sustained serious
bruises about the head. Mr. Robinson
escaped unhurt. The runaway did not in
terfere with the marriage.
F. M. Baker, a prominent railrftad official
of Oswego, N. Y., is registered at Hotel
Wilkins.
' Several marriages are to take place at an
early date. Among those to be married is
a prominent young physioien of the city,
and a popular young lady to a prominent
young man of Southwest Georgia.
The Wayne Light Troop, the baby com
pany of the Fifth Georgia regiment. Is
holding tri-weekly drills preparatory to in
spection by Lieut. Satterlee. The fact that
Capt. W. N. Clark and First Sergt. Askew
are instructors iu the tactics is sufficient
proof that they will pass an excellent ex
amination.

Evolution.
Blow ye winds: howl ye tempest;
Hoar ye madden ocean; roar.
Flash forth ye boles of hellish spleen.
Boom, boom through space to earth
Ye forked tongues of nature's fury;
Unlock you flood-lock gates; open wide,
Forever must man by your will abide.
Mr. Editor: Last evening, seated in my
evening chair, I read the above stanza from
De Argue’B master French poem, entitled:
“Nature’s Voice,” which I think was his
last effort, as it is dated Aug. 12, 1756, and
his death is chronicled Sept. 3, 1756. Had
this gifted mind existed in the present age,
how unreasonable his work would appear—
for instance, in the last line of the first
stanza, he says;
“Forever must man by your will abide.”
This is indeed the age of progress. How
little wo heed iu this enlightened age
“Nature’s Voice.” By Fulton we no longer
ride the mighty deep with dread; by
Stephenson how we rush over hill and river;
how Franklin rested bis (hellish spleeu)
lightning. To-day we force nature to open
wide her floodgates as we need them; and
last, but not least, the ever changing condi
tion of our atmosphere no longer affects
our physical being. Through the efforts of
Dryfus Bros., the enterprising olothiers,
hatters, furnishers and shoe dealers, Con
gress and Jefferson streets, who are ever
looking after the interest of suffering
humanity by placing reasonable wearing
apparel of high grade at low figures so as to
give to every condition of life all that mor
tal man can wish for.
