Atlanta, Ga.. Jan. .7. -The .small-pox sit
uation in the lower part -f the state U
grrowliiß serious. In Dt atur. Jones, Jas
per. Putnam ami Kariy counties th 'ln
case has hrum. so prevalent that Gov.
Candler is almost daily applied to by the
authorities for some measure of relief or
assistance.
Deeatur county has asked that he order
a compulsory v n ination, and i >-la\ th*
Governor s.cured the opinion of the at
torney general upon the right of the coun
ty authorities of the infected districts to
enforce compulsory vaccination. 'I he opin
ion of the attorney geneial is that com
pulsory vaccit ation would not !* k gal,
and that only such jk rsons as have 1m - n
exposed to the disease and whose exposure
can bo established may l>e subj -te l to
vaccination under orders of the county nu-
thorit ies.
The Governor has replied to tin aj pli
cation made to him by quoting this opin
ion of the attorney general. Whatever is
done toward the suppression of the disease
must be done by the local officers.
Gov. Candler this afternoon held a con
sultation with Pr. Wurtenbacker, surgeon
of the I’nited States marine hospital serv
ice, who has been investigating the status
of the disease in Jones and Jasper coun
ties. Dr. Wurtenbacker was requested to
see the Governor by the authorities of
those counties and the Macon city author
ities. who are afraid that the infection
■will be spread in that city. Pr. Wur
tenbacker left here this afternoon
for Alabama, where he was ordered
by the surgeon general to investigate
small-pox conditions there.
Anxloua to Stamp It Out.
The Governor is anxious to do all he can
to stamp out the disease In this state, and
to facilitate the work of the local au
thorities. This afternoon he telegraphed
the surgeon general asking that Dr.
Wurtenbacker be sent to Decatur county
as soon ns he has finished his work in
Alabama. The Governor also, after his
conference with the marine hospital sur
geon, telegraphed Washington asking that
another surgeon from that department be
sent at once to this mate to act under
the orders of the Governor in assisting the
local officers in the infected counties.
In taking this step the Governor said
this afternoon that he had an idea of call
ing upon the federal government to take
charge of the situation, although Pr.
Wurtenbacker suggested that this be
done. All he wants is the services of an
experienced expert to help the local au
thorities fight the disease, and he hopes
that the surgeon general will TV able to
send a man at once. It appears from the
statements of Pr. Wurtenbacker that the
disease has been in existence in Jones and
Jasper counties for a year, and that the
local doctors did not know what it was,
until informed by the marine hospital
surgeons, who had been sent down there
at the instigation of the officials of the
military camp at Macon.
Chiefly Among Xegroen.
The disease is largely confined to the
negroes and is of a mild form. The alarm
In Decatur and other adjacent counties
is caused by the fact that the disease has
broken’out among turpentine farm labor
ers, who, going from camp to camp, are
spreading it, and at the same lime this
class of negroes is almost totally beyond
the reach of the doctors.
While it seems that there Is more of the
disease in the lower part of the state,
it is by no means confined to that sec
tion. Cases have appeared in the country
contiguous to Atlanta and recently the
doctors found a woman suffering with it
In a mill in this city. The local health
authorities are on the alert. Two years
ago there was a systematic vaccination
crusade from house to house, conducted
under police supervision, and this has
undoubtedly contributed largely to the
immunity of the people here.

Sworn In Last Nlglft-Col. Crawley
Mny Yet Make a Content.
Waycross, Jan. 27.—The 01. l hoard of al
dermen met at the regular hour for meet
ing to-night and completed its business
for last year.
The members of the administration
ticket, headed by Hon. A. M. Knight, then
took the oath of office, and entered upon
their duties.
It had been reported that Col. Crawley,
whose friends claimed he was elected,
would demand that the office lie turned
over to him, but no such action was taken.
He intimated to-night, however, that this
is not the end of the matter, but just
what he proposes to do is not known.
Cos.. Crawley is represented by Judge J.
b. Sweat, Hon. H. A. Wilson and Col. K.
H. Myers, while lion. John C. McDonald
and Toomer & Reynolds are attorneys for
the other side.
Mr. Knight, who is at the head of
the administration ticket, is one of the
most popular men in Waycross. He has
been Mayor for seven years, being re
elected each time without opposition. 11*
is the agent of the Plant System at this
point and is also a president of the city
board of education. Mr. Knight is p
years old and is a native of Florida.
His apponent. Col. J. L. Crowley, is one
of the most popular young men in the
city. He is a lawyer, having graduated
from the state university in the literary
department in 1889 and from the law de
partment in 1891. He is the Okiest son of
Capt. E. H. Crowley and is solicitor of
the City Court of Waycross.
On account of the differences which
arose over the conduct of the election,
Col. Crowley may yet enter a contest for
the office
Negro Drowned In the SatHla.
Waycross, Ga., Jan. 27.—Information has

Satilla river late Wednesday evening. The
accident occurred at what is known as the

In \ I Inn In Doctor With Too Much
Pomlnru for I.ittle tilrla.
Atlanta, <’>a.. Jan. 27.—Dr. S. W. Arro
wood. a practicing physician. .I?, years oil,
and well-known in the western part of the
city, was arraigned in Police Court this
afternoon, charged with attempting to en
tice little girls from home.
The evidence brought out the fact that
,he had a mania for school girls, some of
whom were not more than 10 years of
age. For three hours the Recorder heard
witnesses, some of them the school girls
who had been insulted, and then adjourned
a further hearing until to-morrow.
The Police Court room was packed, there
being n large number of ladies and chil
dren present who had come to tell what
they knew aoout the doctor's alleged prac
tice of stopping little girls whiie on their
way to and from school.
Ethel Kittrell. a 12-year-old girl, who
was the most important witness, went Into
hysterics and could not testify. The child,
it is said, was one of Dr. Arrowood's
attractions, one whom ho wanted to mar
ry, and for whom ne secured a marriage
license in Di Kalb county several days ago.
The child had to be carried into the
court room by officers, and when she was
at ast before tho Recorder she was weep
ing too violently to speak.
Parents were present, who said their
daughters had been insulted by Dr. Arro
wood, but they preferred not to bring them
into court. The evidence showed that for
the past two years Dr. Arrowood has been
annoying little girls attending the Davis
Street School.
The defense tried to show that Dr. Arro
wood's mania for Ethel Iviitrell amounted
almost to lunacy, and that all of his at
tentions lo other girls was for the purpose
of communicating with her. The mother
of the little Kittrell girl was on the stand
and told of the doctor's persecution of the
child.
Dr. Arrowood’s latvyers declare he Is a
’’paranoeic," like Flanagan, the DeKalb
county murderer, who wanted to marry
the 12-year-old daughter of his Intended
victims. Mr. and Mrs. George Allen.

tion of Railroad C wmmlanion’M
Itiile* to Which a Heavy Penalty
Is \t tnrlied.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 27.—Developments of
an Interesting order in the cotton rate
fight between the railroads occurred to
day at this end of the line. It seems that
the Seaboard Air Line is up to some kind
of 'monkey business” in connection with
the cut rale from Athens.
Chairman Trammell of the Railroad
Commission this afternoon received sev
eral telegrams alleging that the rate had
suddenly been advanced from Athens, and
asking if the roads had the right to take
such action. L. O. Ben ion & Bro., cotton
buyers at Mon tied 10, w< re one of the com
plainants. They state*! in their telegrams
that they had contracted tor the ship
ment of 500 bales from Athens to Fall
River ai 29 cents on Jan. 23, hut when on
Jan. 25 they presented the cotton a rate
of 35 cents was asked. Hence their ap
peal to the railroad commission.
Chairman Trammell wired back that
under rule 35 of the railroad commission
regulations no rate can be advanced by
any line without first giving ten days no
tice. There is a penalty attached for a
violation. It is possible that complica
tions will arise over this feature of the
rate fight.
There is a well defined impression among
railroad men here that there will shortly
be an agreement between the warring
roads, and that former rates will be re
stored, though nothing definite has been
heard from the rate meeting held at the
Waldorf in New York yesterday.
THE WORK NOT COMPLETED.
Ilallroud Hen Still Discussing; tlie
Cotton Rate Question.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 27.—' Telegrams receiv
ed here to-day stated that the New York
conference, which was held to adjust the
cotton rate situation in Atlanta and Ath
ens, did not complete Its work. Some
progress was made, but the matter is
still under consideration. There is still
a prospect that some adjustment will be
made. , ......
So many inlerests are involved that it
is slow work to get them all harmonized.
There will probably be another meeting
at au early date.

A SOI TH GEORGI A FAIR.
Suggestion From Liberty That One
Should lie Held Here.
From the Liberty County Herald.
Why is it that Savannah cannot have
a South Georgia fair next fall? We think
it could be made a success. There is not
a county in South Georgia that would not
take an interest and place something on
exhibition. Überty county bias many
things that would and could be exhibited
to advantage. Let the merchants and bus
iness men of that splendid city arouse
themselves to the opportunities that
awaits them There are many thousands
of doilars worth of additional business
that can be had by judicious advertising
and one of the best means of procuring
this additiona’ business is in a South
Georgia fair.
