sacola, Fla.
“By reference to Mayor Knight's order
published in another column, it will be
seen that he declares a quarantine
against Pensacola. This is the right
thing to do under the circumstances.
Mayor Knight iocs not intend to take
any chances and the quarantine will be
rigidly enforced.
Call on the Mayor and Get Your Pass
ports.
The mayor is now supplied with health
certificates. Those desiring to leave the
city can call at his office and be sup
plied. Don’t leave town without a cer
tificate or you may be quarantined.
Married.
In this city last night, at the residence
of Dr. Walker, Mr. T. S. Singleton to
Miss M. E. McKnight, Rev. W. H.
Scruggs officiating. The wedding was a
very quiet affair, only a few friends be
ing present. The Herald tenders con-
giatulations.
Will Take a Vacation.
Rev. W. H. Scruggs has been voted a
vacation until Sept. 1st by his church.
Mr. Scruggs needs rest and a little out
ing and we hope he will avail himself of
his vacation to take a trip into the
mountains or to the seaboard and that
he will return rested and recuperated.
Another Failnre at Brunswick.
It seems that Brunswick is doomed to
failures and disappointments. Her re
cent attempt to get up a yellow fever
epidemic proves to be the veriest farce
imaginable. After all the fuss it turns
out that a doctor, always in bad health,
has a case of malarial fever. This time
Brunswick is to be congratulated upon
her failure. .She must try again if she
hopes to succeed in the yellow fever bus
iness.
Dr. Branham, the yellow fever suspect,
was sick when he came to Brunswick 1
some weeks since, and was being treated
for malarial fever. He got a little worse
and had to go to bed. He is now im
proving and will probably soon be well
and that’s about all there is of the yel
low fever scare. .Still we advise Bruns
wick to clean up and keep a sharp
lookout. _
A Note from Rev. D. W. Moore.
The* Herald is in receipt *of 4 a com
munication from Rev. D. W. Moore,
pastor of the Hazzard Hill colored
church in which he explains that a
meeting recently held at his church was
not for the purpose of stirring up strife
between the two races, and in which he
makes some other statements and expla
nations.
In the exercise of our editorial discre
tion we deem it proper just at this time
to eliminate from our columns anything
which might possibly bring about or in
crease feeling between the two races.
And while Mr. Moore’s communication
is perhaps not calculated to have that ef
fect, there are some reasons which we will
explain to him why his letter is not pub-
islied in full.
THE OUTLOOK IN BRUNSWICK
THE CITY ACTS.
NO MORE CASES APPEAR AND THE
EXCITEMENT DYING OUT.
Favorable Comment.
The recent action of the colored citi
zens ot Waycross in regard to the matter
of outrages by their race, has met with
many lavorable comments throughout
the State. If the action taken here is
followed up by others we believe much
good will result. Our colored friends
should be encouraged to proceed with
the good work.
Please Notify the Marshal.
We are requested by His Honor,
Mayor Knight, to say to the citizens of
Waycross that it will be esteemed a fa
vor if they will call the attention of the
Marshal or Sanitary Committee to any
nuisance they may know to exist in the
city limits. It is the intention of the
Committee to put the town* in the best
possible sanitary condition, and the co
operation of every good citizen is earn
estly desired.
The S. F. & WN. Steam Crane.
The S. F. & W. have recently spent
seven or eight hundred dollars in im
proving their immense steam crane and
wrecking machine. Mr. T. M. Darr is
the inventer ot these improvements and
it is now believed that the machine is
the completest of the kind in the coun
try. In a few days Mr..Darr will take
the machine to the St. Marys river for
the purpose of raising the iron bridge
which has so long rested beneath the
dark waters. Air. Darr’s machine is
now in the S. F. & W. yard at this place
and a view of it will richly repay the
trouble of a visit.
From Brunswick.
The yellow fever scare seems to be
about over and numbers of runaways are
returning to Brunswick. The Times
Advertiser of to-day sums the matter up
as follows*.
To sum up the matter it stands about this
way. Dr. Branham is very sick. His ill
ness was hastily declared. There is now a
wide diversity of opinion as to what is really
the matter with him. Ifis symptoms might
belong to other fevers. The progressed
stages are very unusual in cases of yellow
fever. However, it is best to wait for the
official declaration, which will be made to
day, and in which it is understood Drs.
Hazlehnrst and LeGare, with the other phy
sicians of the city, will take part.
If it is fever the best skill is here to con
duct it, and to prevent its spread beyond the
single case in doubt. The T. A. believes
from what it has been able to gather that
the Teport of these experts will relieve the
city of the emlwrgo against it.
A Rumor.
A rumor is floating around that Hon.
Tom Watson will be invited by the pop
ulists to make a speech in Waycross in
the near future. The Herald has no
objection, whatever, to Mr. Watson’s
coming to Waycross and does not doubt
that he will be treated courteously and
accorded an attentive hearing by those
who care to listen to him. The Herald
will catch on and give due and timely
notice of his advent

A New Boom for Waycross.
We call special attention to the adver
tisement and plat of the new* addition to*
Waycross in to-day’s issue.
Some of the most desirable property
the city is now on the market. The
lots will be sold upon the installment
plan to white people who desire a home
in the city limits. The terms are ex
ceedingly liberal. The lots being of
fered are only about half a mile from
the union depot and about the same dis
tance from the court house. Now is the
time to invest. When the boom cames,
and it surely will, the property will be
worth big money.
Call on Air. H. A. Wilson for further
particulars.
G. 0. Turner’s New Livery Stable.
We call special attention to the ad
vertisement of Air. G. O. Turner in to
days issue. Air. Turner has leased the
Cannon stable and is fully prepared with
fine new horses, buggies and carriages,
to supply the wants of the traveling
public. Air. Turner is determined to
give Waycross what she has long needed,
a first-class livery stable. He solicits
the patronage of the traveling public
and guarantees satisfaction. Call on
him when you want a nice turn-out.
Tom Watson to be in Waycross on Sep
tember 4th.
Mr. Watson has notified his friends
that he will be in Waycross aod address
the citizens on Monday, Sept. 4th. Mr.
Watson has a right to speak whenever
he sees fit and the people have a right
to attend his meetings or not, as they
choose.
The Herald docs not agree with Mr.
Watson politically, and while we do not
specially welcome him we assure him
that he will receive courteous treatment
in the Magic City.

Saturday at noon Health Officer Dun-
wody officially announced that Dr. John
W. Branham had the yellow fever. He
and Dr. Hugh Burford were called in
consultation by City Physician Branham
about eleven o’clock to see the sick
man, who had been brought from the
quarantine station by Dr. Branham
Thursday morning. They pronounced
it a mild case of yellow fever.
Dr. John W. Branham was the U. S.
Alarine surgeon, recently placed in
charge of our quarantine station. He
was taken sick with fever at the quaran
tine station Wednesday evening.
Being a relative, City Physician
Branham was called out to see him
Thursday morning. He then deter
mined to bring the exiled man to bis res
idence.
The report created quite a panicky
condition in the city,and many people be
gan at once to make preparations to leave
the city. About 700 left last night by
the various trains, many of them being
visitors.
The City Council met at 3 o’clock
with the board of health. Of tlieir ac
tion the following proceedings are ex
planatory:
Dr. R. E. L. Burford was appointed
acting health officer, vice Dr. Dunwody
placed under quarantine, because of his
contact with the case.
Surgeon General Weyman was noti
fied by Dr. Dunwody of the facts, and
requested to remove the quarantine sta
tion. Dr. Weymay has instructed the
removal of the station, and it is probable
that the Hunter, Benn & Co. wharf in
the back river will be used temporarily.

MEETING OF THE CITY FATHERS.
They Counsel Together for the Good of
the City.
A joint meeting of the City Council
and Water Works Committee was held
yesterday (Sunday) afternoon, at three
o’clock, at Council chamber. There was
a full attendance, with the exception
of Capt. Johnson. His Honor, the
Alayor, stated that the object of the call
ed meeting was for the purpose of taking
into consideration the sanitary condition
of the city, and to confer as to the prop
er measures to be adopted for the pro
tection of the town against the possible
introduction of yellow fever. The Sani-
itary Board was declared a Board of
Health.
The existence of yellow fever in
Brunswick was discussed in an informal
manner. It was agreed that the present
quarantine against Brunswick and Pen
sacola be continued for the present.
The existing quarantine does not pre
vent persons from Brunswick or Pensa
cola passing through the city. The be
lief was freely expressed that the yellow*
fever in Brunsw’ick would not become
epidemic. Members of the Board also
gave voice to expressions of sympathy
for Brunswick in her trouble, and it is
quite evident that, in her direst necessi
ty, she will find a friend in Waycross.
Investigation disclosed the fact that
Waycross is in good sanitary condition,
but extra exertions will begin at once to
further improve the cleanliness and
drainage of the city.
The meeting was harmonious, and it
was generally conceded that the Bruns
wick scare will soon be over.
The following ordinance was intro
duced and will be passed to-day :
AN ORDINANCE.
Be it ordained, by the Alayor and Council
of the City of Waycross, that from and after
the passage of this ordinance, that any per
son or persons having or using any dry well,
sink hole or excavation of any kind, used
for drainixg filthy water, swill or waste wa
ter of any kind, and failing to keep same in
a cleanly condition, and from running over,
or becoming a menace to the pnblic health,
within the city of Waycross; shall be subject
to a fine not exceeding one hundred dollars,
or to work on the city chain gang not ex
ceeding ninety days, for each and every of

Will do Good.
The yellow fever scare will do Florida
good. Her cities will now go to work to
clean up and sanitate. Jacksonville
should be first to move. Without a
thorough inspection of that delightful
city, the writer is of the opinion that it
is the dirtiest place in America of its
inches. After a rain water stands for an
hour on its main street and the stench
along the river front is simply “some- ■MWKawgiW
thing else.” We spent a few hours there
recently and were glad when the time
