SUNDAY, JUNE 2, IH8£.
The trial of Dr. McDow for the
murder of Captain F. W. Dawson of
Charleston S. C.,will take place June
26th.
The New York Herald gives cold
comfort to the Pennsylvania iron
masters. It tells them plainly that
they can’t compete with southern iron,
' and that the south is at the front to
stay.
Col. W. H. Chilton, for fifteen
years commercial editor of the Louis
ville Courier-Journal, died on Sun
day last “front over-work” as the dis
patch briefly stated. There is a
world of pathos in those two words,
and they are applicable to the euding
of newspaper men generally.
Here is an item of more real bear
ing upon the question of southern
prosperity than all the congregation
'll buncombe that is heard in a
month’s time. The Georgia Alliance
- has had occasion to contract for 3,-
-G00,f'00 yards of cotton bogging.
.Wbflfro has it gone for that consider
able quantity of goods? To the New
England mills? Not at all. It
might have done so once, and not so
very long aco, but now it has no need
to do so. The contracts were given
to mills in Louisiana and Georgia,
and the incident is vcryJcomDletely
illustrative of the radical changes
•which have taken place in one of our
leading industries. The south has no
longer any need to divide ait impor
tant part of Its revenues with the cot
ton spinners ot Massachusetts and
Rhode Island. It does its own work
and keeps its money at home. This
incident noted will bear a lot of think
ing.—Philadelphia Evening Tele
graph.
Preventing Yellow Fever.
We are indebted to Dr. J. C. Lc-
Hardy, of Savannah, for an interesting
pamphlet entitled “The Rational Meth
od of Preventing Yellow Fever on the
South Atlantic Coast," being a piper
read b.fore the MeJical Association of
Georgia, at its recent session in Macon.
While the paper is interesting in its
entirety, we are unable, for want of
space, to print only a small portion of
it. The following extract will be found
interesting:
“Although there are instances re
corded when the fever has prevailed
after a long heated term, without any
extra amount of rainfall, it is evident
that the focus of infection, in every
epidemic north or south here recorded,
has always been in a low, damp and
filthy locality—never where the soil
was dry and the locality healthy.
"The island of St. Helena, which
stands in the yellow fever zone, and
which has been used as a port of ref
uge for infected ships for three-quar
ters of a century, has never been in
fected " Why? “An almcgst bare rock,
with but little or no debris, thoroughly
washed with every downfall of rain,
where yellow lever was and is still
found-to be non-communicable,where
it has never been introduced. (A. N.
Bell, Sanitarian, December, 188S, p.
503)
i nave examined a large amount of
information furnished by the writings
Of physicians who practiced in the
diflerent cities of this country during
yellow fever epidemics, and I find not
one tingle fact to contravene the gen
era! tenor ot the evidence which I sub
mit above: That wherever an epidera
ic of yellow fever has prevailed in any
city.'there have existed at the same
time a great moisture of the soil and
air, ana excessive and long continued
In t!i - view t I the r:\sc, 1- un
necessary to discuss the quts:ioi!
whethir the yellow fever germ is nidi
genous or cxotic- ront.igious it c.m
not be. A city must be in .1 cc-ndi
lion ready, as it were, for tin cxplo
sion, and it makes no difference wheth
er the spark that sits it off comes from
within or without. I can find no re
corded insiancc, and have none in
my own experience, where the intro
cuction of persons suffering from yel
low fever lias started an epidemic in a
clean place properly drained. On the
contrary, medical literature teems with
instances where infected persons, with
their baggage, have been carried to
such places and the disease has died
out with the original patient, or been
confined to one or two persons who
had breathed the infected air contain
ed in their trunks. A most striking
example of this is presented in the re
moval of 291 persons last fall from
Jacksonville Fla , to Henderson, N.
C., in a train of cars which went
through under strict guard. Accord
ing to the official report of Dr. Guiler-
as, five cast's developed on the train
and five on the first day after arrival
in Hendersonville. All the relugees
were received bv the inhabitants ol
the place, and distributed among them
at their homes, but not one case oc
curred among the residents, and none
among the refugees.—Dr. A. N. Iiell,
in Sanitarian, December, 1888.0.499
Now we can understand why it is that
quarantine has seemed to protect and
at other times 'o fail. Quarantine pure
and simple has never protected. \V hen
it has seemed to do so, it was because
the place was not in a condition to
receive the infection.
This brings me to the subject' of
this paper: “The Rational Method of
Preventing Yellow Fever.” By drain
ing the soil of our cities and their
environs and keeping them clean, we
will prevent the yellow fever.
The stern cold logic of facts points
unerringly to the conclusion that this
disease in our country is caused by
persistent municipal disregard of car
dinal and long-known hygiene princi
ples Northern cities, ‘ formerly as
much subject to yellow fever epidemics
as those in our southern country,
learned this lesson long ago, and have
put it into practice, with the result 01
placing themselves beyond its. reach. ’
At the session uf the general assem
bly of the Presbyterian church in
New York yesterday, the prohibition
question being under discussion, Dr.
Howard Crosby said: “I have fought
the saloons iu this city for thirteen
years, and ought to know something
about the subject. There arc two
great principles adopted by Christians
in this country on the temperance
question. Both seek the destruction
of the saloon. One is prohibition
and the other high license, ft would
he a great mistake for the Presbyter
ian church to determine which is the
best method for the purpose. If pro
hibition was made the law in New
York state the number of saloons
would be multiplied. The Prohibi
tionists are a political party and we
have no right to pledge our adher
ence to any political body. What
right has Dr. Sample to say that com
stitutional prohibition is the only
thing that will conquer the saloon?
I say it would result in free ruin.
Both prohibition and high licence are
political questions and we have no
right to ally ourselves to either side.
Let us talk it down and condemn it,
but don’t let us take either side.”
“Never Bo Caution.’’
The old Jews and the old Scotch
Highlanders had one feeling iu com
mon—a dread of suretyship. The
book of Proverbs emu; ins several
warnings of the danger that lurks in a
suiety bond, hut uono are more ad
monishing than one uttered by u
Highlander.
Donald had been tried for ltis life,
and narrowly escaped conviction.
In discharging him, the judge thought
it proper to say:
“Prisoner, before you leave the
bar, I’ll give you a piece of advice.
You have got off this time, but if you
ever come before me again, I’ll he
caution (surety) you’ll he hanged.”
“Thank you, my lord,” said Don
ald, “for your good advice, and as I'm
na ungratefu’, I beg to gie your lord-
ship a piece of advice iu turn. Never
be caution for anybody, for the cau
tioner has offer to pay the penalty.”—
Youth’s Companion,

Yesterday Superintendent Zrttler
conducted the examination of appli
cants in Bibb county. The examina
tion was held on the premises ot the
(Iresliam High School.
The written examination consumed
nearly the entire dav, and embraced
over one hundred pages, which were
written by the applicants.
There were ni.ie applicants, six
white and three colored. All the
whites were students of Mercer Uni
versity. The examination papers will
he sent by Superintendent Zcttler to
Commissioner Ilook for his inspection
and grading.
Commissioner Ilook was informed
on Tuesday by Professor Francis, of
the Atlanta University, that, through
some of the students of his school, lie
had learned that copies of the list of
questions prepared by Commissioner
Hook for the examination of colored
applicants for places in the public
schools of the state, were being
hawked about at one dollar etch.
Witnesses were produced who had
bought copies of the lists of the ques
tions. Both stated in writing to the
State school commissioner that they
had procured them from a certain ne
gro man for one dollar each. This
negro said he had gotten the lists front
a white man who claimed to have paid
fifteen dollars for a list of the ques
tions, and had made a number of
copies which lie had retailed at one
dollar to persons desiring to stand the*
examination. The negro also said
that the white man who was specula
ting in the examination questions
lived in Augusta.
The questions, however, were
printed in Atlanta, and were sent, to
the various county school commission
ers of the State for use in the exami
nation of colored applicants for places
in tho public schools cf' Georgia,
which took place-on yesterday.
hook’s circular.
Yesterday the school commissioner
of Bibb received the following circu
lar:
To the county school commissjouers
of Georgia—Greeting: I received in
formation yesterday afternoon that
satisfied m_v mind beyond a doubt
that the questions prepared for this
nrcsent May examination have been
obtained by a certain person or
persons, aud have been sold to vari
ous parties who wish to stand the ex
amination, that they might he ready
for it. If I had- received the informa
tion sooner I would have revoked the
order and have held the examination
a month later, furnishing entirely
new questions. As it is, the exami
nation must proceed, but T want each
of you to note every fact or suspicious
circumstance that may have come to
your attention during the progress of
the examination indicating probable
knowledge on the part of the appli
cant for examination and teachers’ li
cense, of the contents of nnpers before
examination, and write 111c fully
about it. Such gross fraud as this
must bo ferreted out and the guilty
parties properly dealt with. The July
session of tho General Assembly will
be asked for legislative action in the
premises amendatory of the present
law; which will properly define the
crime and fully punish it. Meantime
no stone will he left unturned by me
to find the guilty parties, and I invoke
your earnest, cordial aid in the mat
ter. If this thpft of our papers and
brokerage business in them is to go
on—our examinations will be a farce,
aud perhaps mainly benefit those who
arc unworthy to bear the honorable
license of tho honest-, worthy and
truly competent teachers.
James S.Hqok,
State School Commissioner.
The News asked Superintendent
Zcttler to-day if he noticed anything
suspicious in the examinations yester
day that would lead him to believe
that any of the applicants had gotten
access to the printed lists of questions.
Superintendent Zcttler said that
the examination was very thorough
and rigid and he observed closely, but
he saw nothing that would cause him
to think tho applicants had ever be
fore seen the questions.
The Atlanta Constitution says:
Yesterday, before Judge J. C. Fain,
the school commissioner of Fulton
county began his examination of
about 125 colored applicants for
teachers’ p'aces iu the public schools
ot this county. Judge Hook ap
peared before the applicants assem
bled in the house of renccscntntivcs,
and gave them a plain talk. He told
thcai of the fraud which had been
perpetrated by unknown persons, and
stated that virile it was not his inten
tion to cast suspicion upon the charac
ter of any of the applicants in the
examination which they were about
to Rtand, still he deemed it his duty,
in justice to nil concerned, to give
them an entirely diflerent set pf-ques-
tions from those which had been
stolen and hawked about. He said,
too, that if possible, he would have
sent different questions to every school
commissioner in' the Slate. It was,
however, too late to do that for this
examination, as the law had fixed the
date upon which it should be held.
With this he handed Judge Fain
the new set of questions aud the ex
amination proceeded.
Judge Hook proposes to ferret this
matter to the bottom, and to expose
the per«nn or persons who stole these
questions and made copies of the same
for retail purposes.
