GRIFFIN’S WATER
WORRIES THE ATLANTA CON
STITUTION CONSIDERABLY
The Board of Health Replies to the
False Statements Made by That
Paper on Yesterday.
•
Editor Call:
In the issue of the Atlanta Cons'ilu
tion of June 17th,inst., there is a para
graph devoted to the, water works of
thia oily. This paragraph states that
the supply of water at Camp Northeu
is insufficient and that it bas a bad
odor and taele, due to drainage from
the fecal sinks of tbe soldiers. It also
that the water is boiled before
used for drinking that
ii has b?eu tbe cause of mmeb *M}k
nee?ta. camp. Then statements fret#
the first to the last are so palpably
false that no mars-plea of ignoranso
can excuse it. They were rTritten and
‘published for a malicious purpose, Otld
that purpose was to the au
thorities stationing.at Camp Nortbea
the regiment jnow being enlisted in
the state, that Atlanta might be selec
ted lor that purpose.
Tbe water which the eily gratuitous
ly furnished the soldiers at Camp
Northen is as bountiful now and as
pure and wholesome as can bo found
on earth, and utterly beyond compari
son with the hot, muddy ooze which
Atlanta deals out to her unfortunate
inhabitants. During the first few
"days following tbe advent of tbe sol
diers at Camp Northen there did oc
cur seme eases of sickness among
them, but no cases were-serious, and
all these wore due, and explained by
their own surgeons, to the sudden and
radical change io their habits, diet and
affyironmoot?.Tbo amansat «f sickosgl,
however, at camp was inconsiderable,
and much less than would ordinarily
occur among so many men, following
the change we mentioned. There can
be no doubt but that the natural
healthfulness of Camp Northen has
prevented sickness and conduced to
tbo health of'the soldiers. The water
works of the city are situated about
ono mile from tbe city and just be
yond Camp Northen. It is true that
the sinks in use at tbe camp are situa*
ted on a gradually slanting bill at tbe
bottom of which and at a considerable
distance are the works Butltisalso
true that all possible drainage from
these sinks are cut off from tbe works
by, first, a ditcb, wide and deep, ex
tending from a point entirely across
the whole camp to a location below
tbe spring.
The ditch is reinforced by a high
embankment, which prevents tbe
chance of any overflow, and beyond
this is another ditcb as a precaution.
The pools are walled with brick and
cemented and not a drop of w'ater, ex
cept from tbe springs at the bottom of
tbe pools, can enter the waterworks
system.
It is estimated that the soldiers con*
surned in a day 6,000 gallons of water
aad to meet tbe unexpected and large
demand tbe city has added a new pool,
25 feet deep and 20 feet in diameter,
and supplied by several bold Springs
bubbling up through tbe solid rock
bed. These springs furnish tbe most
bountiful supply of water, and that it
is pure and good I submit in proof tbe
following card from Col. Lawton, tbe
officer in command at Camp Northen:
“Camp Northen, Griffin, Ga,
“June 17,1898.
“To Whom it May Concern :
“This is to certify that I have bad
the new water supply at Camp Northm
en examined by tbe regimental
surgeons and they pronounce it pure
and wholesome,
(Signed) “A. R. Lawton,
“Col. Ist Ga. Inf., V. 8. V.”
If the water had a “bad odor,”
“tasted of tbe sinks drainage,” and tbo
falsehoods contained in said article, it
is strange that the surgeon in charge
weuld certify to such a statement
as the above, and be s<> derelict in the
discharge of Lis duties as to allow the
soldiers to wreck their lives by drink
ing such water, and also to be so fool
ish as to um it themselves
Tbe troth of tbo whole matter io
that the article is a collection of false
hoods without the redeeming feat are
of a single truth, and that it was writ
ten and published for the purpose of
preventing the new regiment now be
ing enlisted from being stationed at
Camp Northen, and in tbe hope that
if not cent to this camp, it might be

Wiß Prove Foor Fiehters.
Wasihmston, Juno 17.—Army offi
cers who have been reading the recent
news from-Cuba are discussing with
great confidence tbe prospect of an
early eneofinter of tbe United States
troops with those of Spain.
Some of the officers of tbe army
who have been looking * into tbe con
ditions of the United States forces say
they will not be surprised to bear that
the subjugation of the Spaniards in
Cuba will turn out to be very much
such a task as tbe army of the United
Stales undertook in Lite Mexican war,
when the progress toward the City of
Mexico was scarcely obstructed.
None of tbe Spanish soldiers have
ever been in anything like a battle.
They have been beset by small bands
of insurgents when they could not
avoid them, and they have sometimes
discharged their Mauser rifles into
the brash in the hope that there was
aomethtug to hit. The experience of
>■ nseglSM^ * itb armed lorees that will
not run when attacked will be an en
tire novelty to them.
Our men will prove so superior that
we will wonder very soon why Shafter
ever wanted as many as 15,000 troops
to capture Santiago and clean out the
eabt end of tbe island.
TBE EXCELLENCE OF SW OF FIOS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of parchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guars,nty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company—
