YELLOW JACK.
ThomasytlleTaking Precautions.
Some little excitement was created
yesterday morning by the report" that
Tampa, Fla., had yel’ow fever. .It
was said that eight cases of fever had
broken out there. As soon as the re
port reached Mayer .Hopkina* ears he
started at once to investigate its
truthfulness. The news reachrd here
by means of a railroad man who ar
rived at 6:30 e’e ock from Waycrosi.
He stated that Savannah had quaran
tined and even refused to allow the
Tampa sleeper to go into the city.
Mayor Hopkins telegraphed-to
Surgeon General Wyman at Wash
ington, Health- Officer Brunner, of
Savannah, and the Mayor of Tampa,
for definite information. In a short
time-he received the following an
swers from Savannah and Tampa :
Savannah, Ga., Aug. 21, 1893.
H. W. Hopkins, Mayor, Thomas-
vitle, Ga.:
Fight vases at Port Tampa. Can
not obtain reliable information as to
class ot people attacked. Port Tam-
belongs to Plant system.
W. F. Brunner
Heals h Officer.
Tampa Fla, Aug 21,1893.
H. W. UopkIxs, Mayor, Thomas
ville, Ga.:
No fever here. Health very good.
F. A. Salomonsox, Mayor.
Upon this authority 1 he Mayor at
once quarantined Tampa and- Port
Tampa, and he himself went down to
meet train No. 23 from 8oi*annah
and Florida. The Tampa bleeper
is found to contain a targe mirabtr
people from Tampa, among the
tuber Wing two hound for Thomas-
'c. Mr. Joseph Bab mid *ife. These
i Here put oil mit-ide of town,
where they will have to *tay for ten
days before being allowed to enter
the city. The car wa* locked up and
the rest of the passengers compelled
to stay inside while the car was in the
city.
Port Tampa is about nine miles
from Tampa and one ruile from Port
Tain pa City. The fever developed on
a vessel lrorn Vera Cruz. This ves
sel had speut six days at quarantine
station and bad been in Port Tampa
four days before the fever broke out.
Assool* os it became known that the
men were sick with yellow fever, the
vissel wasae.ut hick to quarantine.
It is said that it the di-ea-e should
obtain a good foothold in Port Tam
pa it could easily be kept confined to
that immediate locality on account
of the fact that Port Tampa is so sit*
uated that it can be completely iso
lated with little trouble. Thera does
not seem to be much dinger of the
disease spreading from that quarter,
but the yati ms-cities in Florida and
South Georgia will take no chances
and have quarantined.
Soon a*ier the reception of the
above telegrams by Mayor Hopkins,
Mr. C. W. Wiggins, wbo moved his
family hero from Brunswick upon the
appearauce of the first case in that
city, uceived a te’egram stating that
a new case bad appeared there. There
are quite a number of fever refugees
here ii om Brunswick, some of whom
were on the point of going back, and
this last news created a sensation
among them. They kept the 'tele
graph office warm all the forenoon, or
until the news was confirmed. The
Times-Enterprise received a private
telegram about one o'clock which
settled the matter. It was learned
on very good authority that a perfect
panic was on in Brunswick, every
body that possibly coulu was leaving
the city and the greatest excitement
prevailed. A.railroad man informed
the reporter that all the available
passenger coaches were being Bent to
the City by the Sea iu which to con
vey the people away.
STABBED TO THE HEART.
A Fatal Fight Between Two
Saw Mill Negroes.
'Derry Polk, a colored hand work
ing at Mr. Joseph Beverly's eaw.mill
at Ochlockonce, was stabbed and al
most'instantly killed by Charley
Washington, also cblored, on Friday
night. ~
The facts ot the killing, as brought
out at /the Coroner's inquest, are.
about as follows: Washington was
handling lumber ^on a oar at the mill,
when Polk commenced to guy him*
telling him that he was working too
slow and that he thought if he had a
board laid on him a few times’ he
would work better. Eolk picked up
a small piece of timber and struck
Washington a light lick." Washing
ton jumped off the car and the two
men began tussling. Pretty soon
Polk broke loose and ran* Washing
ton followed and overtook him about
a hundred yards away. Washing
ton turned and came back with a
knife in his hand. Polk walked on
a short distance further and fell over
on his face. Mr. W. J. Fedrick
.went to the negro and found him
covered with bloo 1 and in a dying
condition. He had been stabbed in
the left shou’der, the knife penetrat
ing the heart. He went back and ar
rested Washington and locked him up.
Washington, returning to the mill after
he had left Polk, remarked that he
was a l*ttle man, hut he would not be
run over by any one. It s:ems that
the lab »rers at the mill bad been in
the habit of teasing Washington and
that Polk carried it a little too far.
Mr. Fredrick telegraphed Sheriff
Dogs and Coroner Johnson. They
went up immediately. The oroner
summoned a jury and held an inquest
on the body of the dead negro early
yesterday morniug. After hearing
the evidence of a number of witnesses
the jury returned the following ver
dict:
We, the jury sworn by the coroner
to investigate the cause of the death
of Derry Polk, find that the deceased
came to his death on the evening of
August the 18th, 1893, from a wound
io the left shoulder inflicted by a
pocket knife in the hands of one
Charles Washington, and we pro
nounce it manslaughter.

A Sad Case.
A white man was arraigned in po
lice court yesterday morning
street tax deiauiter and gave as his
excuse that he did not have the money
to pay with, couldjjet no work to do
anywhere and bis family had been
for three weeks and was then actually
in need of fuod.
His Honor said that while he fnlly
appreciated the unfortunate man’s
situation and deeply sympathized
with him, his sworn duty was to en
force the law upon all alike, and he
would have to pay a fine or go to
work. As soon as conn adjourned
the Mayor headed a list with a con
tribution to pay the man’s fine. The
spectators chipped in and in jt. mo
ment the amount was raised. But to
pay the'mao’s fine would not help the
condition of his family, as, according
to his statement, he could get no work,
so the contributors decided to let the
man work his time out and spend the
money for provisions for his famdy.
This was done, and although working
upon the streets, the man is no doubt
cheered by the knowledge that his

previous Monday morning crowds.
Several cases were on hand, however,
and ihefchy treasury and chain gang

disorderly conduct. He pleadguilty,

them a sound lecture, thirty days on

five days. The Mayor notified them
that on their next appearance before

Reduced Rates.
As will be seen by advertisement
elsewhere the rates of tuition at the
South Georgia College have been
considerably reduced, owing to the
money stringency. Read the notice
elsewhere.
The Mail and Express, New York
while everlastingly wrong in its poli
tics, is all right on the forestry ques
tion. Speaking oi the disappearance
of the New England forests it says:
‘We have done not wisely with the
trees which nature so bounteously
gave us. We are. through our own
carelessness, approaching an era ot
timber scarcity. We have, by de
stroying the forests, sent many in
dustries in wood which were formerly
prominent in this section, to far away
sections, and they have taken thous
ands of intelligent bread-winners
with them. We have neg’ected op
portunities for profit in tree culture ;
we have jeopardized the navigation of
important waterways; we have <x
posed large sections of our territory to
devastating spring floods.”

Dr. Jauus P. Tiernan, of St. Louis,

The Tifton Gvzrfte pffers the foU
towing advice to the farmers of every
section:
Now “the fields are white with
cotton” and ^cotton picking is the
order of the day. We advise our
farmers to sell just as fast as they get
ready for market; our observation
is, as a general rule, those who sell
early get the best prices.
“When the government got through
coining its present supply of bullion
it would have 8540,000,000 in silver
and there dollars would be full legal
tender. The gold in >ihe United
Spates amounts to 8654,000.000.
There would be just a shade more
gold than silver. That is the way it
is in France, where they have 8800,-
