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, these 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.
