A rigid quarantine to take effect at once
was established against Brunswick and

The Place Selected.
The Morton grove, near the barrel
factory has been selected as the place
where Tom Watson is to speak on the
fourth of September. The people’s
party men here say a large crowd will
be present. We hope Mr. Watson will
call around and pay us for a year’s sub
scription to the Herald. In this way be

days.
The United .States Government was
appealed to, to take charge of quaran
tine around Waycross and establish a
camp detention where refugees from
infected points can lie detained. A for
mal invitation was extended to Supt.
Fleming of the S., F. & W. Ry., to move
his general offices to Waycross in view
of the possible danger to Savannah of
infection by yellow fever. It is thought
that the invitation may be accepted.
Surrounded by immense pine forests,
high altitude, pure air, together with
the splendid sanitary condition of the
city, there is no fears entertained of
yellow fever here.
No more trains coining from Bruns
wick will be allowed to enter Waycross.
Council Meeting.
Council met in regular session last
'night for the transaction of regular busi
ness. The matter of the crossing of Lee
avenue over the railroad was discussed
and efforts will be made to have the
crossing put down as soon as practica
ble.
Tax Assessor’s report show that
property in Waycross of the whites has
increased #35,000 ami that of the negroes
h-.is decreased over #7,000.
Alderman McNeil, who.was appointed
a committee to have a jail built for the
city rc{>orted that the work was completed
and that the city now could boast of a
good, large, substantial and well arranged
jail.
Very little action was taken as re
gards quarantine against the yellow
fever, save what had already been done.
A joint meeting of the Board of Health
and the City Council was called to meet
at 8 o’clock this morning at the City
Hall, to properly consider the subject.
rious.
It is said that the situation in Atlanta
is growing serious and that a bread
famine or riot is feared. The many
workmen thrown out of employment by
the railroads and manufacturing inter
ests that have closed down, are demand
ing work or bread. Citizens and the
authorities are considering about what
is best to do. The troubles are getting
closer home to us every day.
Yellow Fever at Port Tampa.
Information has been received that
eight cases of yellow fever had develop
ed aboard a German steamship from
Vera Cruz, at Port Tampa. The vessel
had been in port four days- when the
fever developed. Port Tampa is ten
miles from Tampa, the main city. The
vessel was ordered to Dry Tortugas
where she has gone carrying all her sick.
Savannah has quarantined against Tam
pa. It is not probable that the lever
can reach Tampa, but it is well to keep
on the lookout. Waycross will proba
bly quarantine against Tampa to-day.
SURGEON* BRANHAM DEAD.

Dr. Guiteras Assigned to Brunswick.
ashington, Aug. 17.—Dr. Wyman
to-day appointed Dr. John Guiteras,
professor in the University of Pennsyl
vania and formerly a passed assistant sur
geon in the marine hospital service, san
itary inspector, and assigned him to duty
in Brunswick. Dr. Guiteras is one of
the best known yellow fever experts in
the United States and will superintend
preventive measures in Brunswick.
A Lonely Funeral—No 3Iore Fear.
Brunswick, Ga., Aug. 20.—Surgeon
Branham died to-day at 5 o’clock, after
lingering twenty-six hours in an uncon
scious state. As soon as death was bul
letined a large crowd of sympathizing
friends gathered on street corners and
discussed the unfortunate man’s fate.
Surgeon Hutton ordered the finest steel
Tempy Faircloth vs. S. F. Sc W. Rail
way Company.
Judge Sweat granted a new trial in
this case jesterday. Many of our read
ers remember all the facts and circum
stances in it. Andrew Faircloth was
killed in the Hurricane creek disaster
several years ago, and the railroad com
pany settled with his widow as they
thought, and in a short time thereafter
widow, number two came in and asked
to be remembered, and when her de
mands were refused she filed suit. At
the last term of Pierce Superior court the
obtained a verdict for somethtng over
six thousand dollars. The Judge’s de
cision on yesterday sets that verdict
asde and we suppose the case will be
tried over again.

Mr. Geo. W. Haines, the official man
ager of the B. & W. Railroad, accompa
nied by about fifty clerks and assistants,
passed through the city last night for
Tifton where he will make temporary
headquarters. The citizens of Waycross
would be glad to have Mr. Haines re
turn to this city when the five days pro-
^ bation has expired, and it is expected
W that he will do so. We learn that Mr.
Haines would have taken up his head
quarters here last night, but for notice
that in such case Savannah and other
, cities would quarantine against us had
he done so. Waycross has long desired
to have Mr. Haines make his headquar

near the gate and Surgeon Carter and
his assistants carried it into the house.
The body was wrapped in sheets soaked
in bychloride of mercury, and around
the lifeless form a large national flag
was rolled. On leaving Washington
Sargeon Hutton had premonition that
Surgeon Branham would die, and,
prompted by this feeling placed the flag
in his trunk.

to quarantine limits, and there Surgeons

light of the cloud dimmed moon. The
Rev. Edward F. Cook, ofMcKendree
Methodist church read the burial
vices. The grave was covered and the
party returned to town. Branham’s
brother did not reach here and he died
without hearing in his unconscious state
the loving message from his sick wife in
far off Maryland. Surgeons Hutton and
Cartels sorrow is great, but they did all
that could be done to bring to life their
stricken comrade.
no more fear.
There is no more fear of yellow fever
in Brunswick. This is the first case in
sixteen years and it is to be hoped that
it will be the last.
Believing that money matters will
Dn be easier, already a number of our
young men are preparing to take a busi
ness course. And as the Georgia Busi
ness College, of Macon, Ga., the most
famous .and successful in the South,
guarantees to give a more practical
training in shorter time and at less ex
pense than any other institution. We
would suggest that it will pay any young
man to write for full particulars, before
making other arrangements.

low Fever.
Washinhton, Aug. 17.—Prof. Gui.
teras, the yellow fever expert, who went
to Brunswick to determine the case of
Dr. Branham, to-day telegraphed Sur
geon General Wyman, confirming the
decision that the patient had the yellow
fever, but so far it does not appear that
the city is in any way affected.
Camp Meeting at Homcrville.
The Homerville campmeeting will
begin September the 15 at 7:30 p. m
and will run 10 days. I hope the peo
ple will see that this is a good opportu
nity to do good. Let every one that can
get tents or houses, and help with the
meeting and do good and get good.

The Refugees Pass Through Waycross.
Two trains loaded with refugees and
their baggage from Brunswick, passed
throught the city last, night. The doors
were locked and the trains did not back
into the city. It was estimated that
about five hundred persons we*-e
trains and their destination was North
Georgia. No one from Brunswick was
allowed to remain in the city and it
said that only a few of the jiassengers
from his dreams, and in a short time
Gilmore street was the scene of bustle
and excitement. Fire had been discov
ered issuing from the residence of Mr. J.
S. Tart, and the flames spread rapidly.
A Herald reporter was on the ground
in short order, and soon the different
hose companies made their appearance.
The house had evidently been set on lire
from the inside and the flames were
bursting from windows and doors before
connection could be made with the
water mains. An unoccupied house
belonging to H. A. Cannon about forty
feet from Mr. Tart’s also caught and was
burned. The fire companies directed
their attention mainly to saving the
houses of Messrs. Stead and Crawford,
which were quite near, and in this they
succeeded.
The fire was incendiary without doubt,
as Mr. Tart informs us that he left no
fire in the house last night. The sup
position is that the house was robbed
and fired.
Mr. Tart left home last night to visit
his wife’s sister who is seriously ill at
Johnson station. Mrs. Tart has been away
from home some time. Everything in
the.Tart house was burned except one
trunk and one chair. Mr. Tart had in
surance on house for $700 and on furni
ture for $600. His loss is not less than
$700. There was $700 insurance on the
Cannon house. The fire company did
their whole duty and saved two resi
dences.
The main at the end of the street
where the fire occurred is only 4 inches.
Nevertheless three strong streams were
thrown on the buildings. This is the
first test our water-works have had at a
fire and the result is better than was ex
pected. The two buildings were insured
with Lott and Murphy.
Mr. and Mrs. Tart’s wearing apparel,
except what Mrs. Tart had with her, and
cansiderable silverware was burned.

'Ye Want Them Here.
As soon as the proper time elapses so
that there can be no possible chance of

people of Waycross desire|Mr. Haines to
move his forces to the city, and we are
glad to learn that this is understood to
be the arrangement. * Mr. Haines and
his force will be welcomed here at the
proper time, and everything will be
done by our authorities and our citizens
to assist him in every possible way and

The New Case at Brunswick.
The new case of fever at Brunswick,
is that of Peter Harris, a hardware clerk
in the employ of the Stubbs-Greer
Hardware company. He was stricken
on Friday afternoon, and is now in the
house in which Dr. Branham died. The
case was pronounced yellow fever yester
day by the board of physicians and Mr.
Harris was immediately isolated. At
two o’clock this morning the patient was
reported as doing well.

For the present, the Brunswick Times-
Advertiser will be changed from a
morning to an evening paper. Friend
Wrench is doing the best he ean under
the trying circumstances that surround
him. “Providence permitting” the

heretofore. The editors of the Herald
desire to inform Mr. Wrench that he
can call on them for any favor

The Stringency in New York.
The New York Tribune tells this
good story:
“Speaking of financial stringency,”
said another to the brokers, “I heard a
unique illustration of it a few days ago.
A man entered a pawnbroker’s shop in
the Bowery, and laying down a twenty
dollar bill asked if he could be accom
modated with a dollar on it. The
pawnbroker was an excellent judge of
money, and saw at once that the bill
was genuine. So he turned and said to
the stranger, shoving the bill toward
him as he spoke, that he was in no
mood for nonsense. But the stranger,
shoving the bill back, rejoined in ear
nest tones that he meant business; that
he couldn’t get any conductor on a horse
ear to change the bill; that he had al
ready been put oft' three ears; that his
boots were awful tight, and that unless
he could get a dollar on the bill he
would lie compelled to walk to the Bat
tery. Well, the pawnbroker couldn’t
but feel that the stranger meant what he
said. So he took up the twenty dollar
bill, toyed with it a few moments, and
then said to him: “Well, my friend, I’d
like to accommodate you, but owing to
the financial stringency I can only give
you seventy-five cents.”

another case of yellow fever in Bruns

We hope and believe an epidemic in
