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.

Spotlal to TlJtta-EjlTXBFauE.] Brunswick, Ga., Aug, 21,1893.— Peter Harris was to-day pronounced ill with yellow fever. The patient was immediately temoved to quaran tine at Branham’s house, and yellow flags stuck around the Presbyterian parsonage, where he was located. MAYOR'S PROCLAMATION. Mayor Lamb immediately issued the following proclamation: To the Public' Whereas, it has come to my knowl edge that a new case of yellow fever has developed in our midst. I, there fore, urge every, one who can possi bly do so to leave the city at once. Attest. E. A. Nelson, City Clerk. UEXEROUJ b. & w.

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 »if. J ..A L.fMM John T. Rockwell. We regret to announce the death of this estimable young man. It took place at Valdosta on Friday night. John Rockwell was a son of the late Colonel Rockwell, and was well known here where his boyhood was spent He moved to Brunswick a few years ago and went into the drug business. H.s health failing he returned to south Georgia, where his last days were spent. He was a young man of many sterling qualities, and he leaves a long list of devoted friends who will sin- ceie’y mourn his death. Cut off al most on the threshold of life, be leaves a devoted wife and child, a loving mother and brothers and sisters to mourn his death. The funeral took p'ace in Valdosta yesterday afternoon." Mr. Will Rock well and bis sister, Mi-s Mgry, went down tq attend the funeral. On ac count of serious illness in the family Mrs. Rockwell was unable to go. Rev. A, M.

The sympathies ot every one goes out to the bereaved family on acount of the loss of their loved one. ‘ Monastic Academy. In another column this morning will be found the advertisement oi this old and well known private school. Mrs, Baratte, the principal of this academy, is too well known to the people of this community to need any. endorsement at our hand*. She hts been teaching school in Thomasville for many years and there isn’t a more competent, careful and painstaking teacher in this section.

The Carrabelle Tallahassee & Geoiv gia Railroad Company has just con cluded a contract for 3500 tons of 56 lb steel rails, Pennsylvaniabtandard, with a 1 the fastenings, to be delivered e io Tallahassee, paying cash for the same on delivery. It is exs pected that the firet iayoice, covering one third of the amount, will arrive the last week in August, and the two succeeding invoices within thirty days thereafter. This will enable the con> tractors, Messrs. Davidson A MacIn tyre, to complete the contract on the 1st day of November next, as they have assured the company that the rails can He laid at the rate of one mile per day. Contracts are liow being made to have all nectsiary equipments deliv ered at Tallahassee by the time the road is completed, so that our people may rest assured that the road wi l be open for traffic between Carrabelle and Ta'lahassce on or about Novem ber 1st. The material and equip ment are all to be shipped over the F. C. & P. Railroad and connection is to b&unale wi.h that road eo as to run into its depot at Tallahassee. -We are informed that the New York Equipment Company, with whom the contracts of purchase have been made, says that the making oi this cash contract in the present ex traordinary stringent state of the money market is solid evidence of the strength ot the syndicate behind this enterprise, and that there are probably very few if any new roads in the country to favorably situated at this juncture.—Tallaha£8eean. Police Cburt. The Mayor’s matinee yesterday morning was not very hugely attend ed, when placed in comparison with previous Monday morning crowds. Several cases were on hand, however, and ihefchy treasury and chain gang were considerably increased, Ed Hadley, .colored, was up for disorderly conduct. He pleadguilty, and in view of this and thp additional fact that he had been placed on the Morning News correspondent, sur* gang by the County Court for the same offense, he was let off with $10 and costs, Georgia Young and Ada Brandon, two of the most notorious colored characters in the city, were up for a nameless offense. His honor gave them a sound lecture, thirty days on the chain gang and a fine of one dot* lar. In default of payment of the lalfer they will be confined iu jail for five days. The Mayor notified them that on their next appearance before him, he would give them the limit “The people are talking about hard times,”** said Uncle Tom Denmark the other day. “Why,” he said, “I can remember when I sold my whole cotton crop, twenty-one bales, at 3^ cents and had to pay~i24 per cent in terest for money. A sack of salt in those days cost $5 oo, calico sold at from 30 to 50 cents a yard and other necessities in proportion.” Uncle Tom's opinion is that the people ha*e but little cause to cry hard times yef, —Quitman Free Press. 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.” Pensacola, Fla., Aug. 19—At an Ciily hour tO'day Miyor Chiplcy re* Ciivfcw an offical communication frtm Gov.

Quarantine is still in force against Brunswick'and all infected places. This will be welcome news to the whole country.

Dr. Jauus P. Tiernan, of St. Louis, who is extensively interested in Geor gia gold mines, says that Georgia iB one of the richest * gold states iu the union. He says that during the last two years he has examined c’osely into the gold mining possibilities of Georgia, and every day convinces him more aud more that the people of the stale are sleeping over son e of their most valuable p<is-es-ions.—New York Tribune. 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,- 000,000 of gold -to 8700,000,000 of silver.

The latest accounts from Brunswick represent Dr. Branham as being slightly better. There has been no new cases of the fever there aud the doctors think there will be none. The Phi’adelphia Ledger holds that ie of the best evidences that the message is about right is that it “did not iocur the admiration of the crowd that such men as Jerry Simpson represent.” One of the*greatest outrages ever perpetrated upon any class is that of requiring the public school teachers of the state to teach the public term the first part of the year and then make them wait until December or later for their pay. The legislature should lock into this matter and cor rect this burniog evil. Let the teach ers be paid at least once a quarter.— Thomaston Times.
