It seems that Warcsboro is paying us in our own coin. In defence of the action of the mayor of Waycross in ordering quaran tine against Warcsboro, we desire to state that his honor was in possession of information to the effect that people from Brunswick were getting off the train at .Warcsboro and there was noth ing to prevent them from coraisg through the country, a distance of seven miles, to Waycross, hence the necessity for the quarantine. The fact that |Warcsboro had not quarantined against Brunswick until the 18th inst. shows that Mayor Knight was simply doing his duty. Waresboro, Ga., Sept. IS, 1803. Etexing Herald; Waresboro established quarantine against Brunswick and Waycross this morning. Xo persons allowed to enter without producing proper certificates. Colored School Opened. The colored school, under charge of Professor Snelson, opened this morning with a large attendance. The W ay cross colored school is well managed by Mr. Snelson and is well regulated in every department. Watch Inspector. Mr. T. E. Lanier, the well.Known jewelry qian of this city, has been ap pointed by the »S., F. & W. Ry., Watch Inspector for the Gainesville, Fort White and Waycross divisions. He enters upon Ins duties at once. The Hiues Filled With Water. We learn that the recent storm has filled the phosphate mines at Fort White and High Springs with water, and the S, F. «fc W. Ry, has in consequence been compelled to annul for a short time the through freight between Wav- eross and Fort White. It Is Camp Haines. The name of the camp of detention near Waynesville is Camp Haines, not camp Hutton as some of the people and newspapers presist in calling it. It was named for Geo. W. Haines the man who has done more to relieve the people of Brunswick than any other one man. Our News From Brunswick. The Herald will furnish the news from Brnnswiek up to 3:30 o’clock each day. Our telegraphic dispatches can be relied on. Pay no attention to vague rumors, but if you want the truth, read the Herald every-afternoon, and be sure to pay voirr subscription when the col lector comes around. He Killed the .Snake. A. P. - Perhani, Jr., killed a large rattle-snake near the city yesterday. According to the story the youth relates the reptile must have been large enough to swallow a sheep. This might seem a pretty tough story, but knowing the parents of the young man as we do, we cannot doubt the truth of the statement. The rattles, nine in number, would indi cate a right smart snake.

The sanitary experts think they can confine the epidemic to the stricken city,* 'Every man, woman and child that can do so, should leave Brunswick at once. There may have been blundering in Brunswick, but this is no time to quarrel about it. From this time forth the names of the sick in Brunswick will not be mention ed in the reports. A large number of people went to the Camp of Detention from Brunswick last Monday night. Canfp Haines was opened Monday for the Brunswick refugees. Fifteen hundred can Jae accommodated. came to the strip in company with a number of Missourians who were regu larly organized and paid by a syndicate of real estate men who proposed to deal in strip lands. When the first runners reached Chikaska, near where Blackwell now stands, they found at least 50 men holding down claims with no ether bag gage tiian their rifles. This man You- man was holding two, claiming that liis friend and partner had gone out on a search for water. The first comers did not attempt to dislodge him, but those who came later, to whom the circum stances had been reported, planted their flags and determined to stand by them. Youmans came up to two of them and ordered them off, at the same time pre senting the muzzle of his rifle. One of the men asked him for his certificate, to which he said he had none and did not- propose to get one; that he had support jh to mako good liis claim, at the • _ j same time adding: Camp Haines is in condition to ac-| *Tm a sooner, and I’d like to know commodate 1,000 people and propara- j *** lle ^ you are going to do about tions for more arc rapidly progressing. | The two men, covered as they were, | went away, but in less than an hour re- Liciit.

Mr. Blount has come home to look over the politi cal field. It is not. reasonable to sup pose that a man of Mr. Blount’s age and reputation would be willing to retire to private life just yet. They Are Spoken Of, The following named gentlemen have been spoken of do fill the vacancy on the board of Aldermen, caused by the death of Capt. E. II. Crawley. Either of those named would make an efficient and acceptable councilman. Here are the names; T. E. Lanier, J. II. Gillon, Mr. II. II Sj'.snett, who has just returned om a business trip to Appling county, in- •rtns us that the crop of cotton is cut off at a&t half in that section. Over 200 mattresses with pillows, cot comforts and blankets were shipped froi the quarantine station near Waycross i Tamp Haines last Sunday night.

It Inis been decided by conductor R. B. Ballard and dispatchers Kirkland and Shackle ford that Jim done him up on the run. O. L. S. Waresboro (Quarantined Against. Mayor Knight quarantined against Warcsboro this morning end has placed guards on all the public roads. Citi zens of Waycross will net be allowed to go to Waresboro and return and Warcs boro people will not be allowed to come to the city at present. This precaution lias been deemed necessary for the rea son that it is supposed that there are a number of people in Waresboro who re cently came from Brunswick. . The Harris Case. Replying to a letter written by a Brunswick lady to the Albany Herand “and refering to Harris who died in the Branham residence, Dr. Guiteras says: The truth is that he was much pleased at his removal. He was made to be lieve that Dr. Branham bad recovered, and that he (Harris) could be treated to better advantage in die Branham house. •He was removed with great care, under tlie supervision of, and accompanied by gentlemen who are familiar with the handling of patients.

Bruns the sa Camp Haines will only be a Camp of Detention ; after remaining there ten days refugees will be allowed to move on, but where tne poor will go God only knows. Dr. Guiteras thinks it possible that the fever originated in the house of the Norwegian who died. His wife washed for the sailors and it is thought that she died of yellow fever. The Morning News correspondent at Brunswick gives nineteen ns the num ber of new cases up to yesterday after noon. The Herald gives twenty as the number. We think we are correct. Dr. Guiteras says : “From the outlook at present I believe there will be a heavy mortality. The fever seems to be of a malignant type. Nothing can stop it if the people remain in Brunswick.” The only way out of Brunswick now | is through Camp Haines, after ten days j detention.

This so exasperated the men that they placed a lariat about liis neck and pulled him up to a tree, where they left his body as a warning to soon- ers. Investigation reveals the existence of a real estate syndicate, with headquarters at Cross, which offers bottom farms on the Chikaska for sale at prices ranging from §300 to §1,000. A man who desired to purchase was shown the land, and when lie made inquiry as to the means of getting possession the claimant was called up and ordered to vacate, which lie did, and the real estate men proceed ed to let the purchaser taV- p >ssession and make claim, which he .vTl -uurii he reached Cross, where he t >>k 11 * trai l for this city. He said that ha li i i U ;ard of this deal before he left his h» n: n >.*r Carthage, but then did not b -hi.v i:. He does now. Tragedies Kvcrj-uln-riS? Rumors of "casualties and tragedies are rife in all parts of the country. Remains of persons have bcQH found burned to death in nearly all sections, two boom ers report haring seen a woman bum l>e- fore they could effect her rescuo. Simi lar stories, which tell of c rime an:l hor ror, are flying everywhere, while 'but few of them can be c onfirmed, or the identity df persons figuring in them, liv ing or dead, he established. There can be no doubt that deaths, either by acci dent or murder, have been frequent. Such a vast movement as this has been could not but result in many fatalities. There have been tragedies of \vkich the story cannot bo written now and per haps can never be. There are dead men to become food for coyotes. There is blood all over the history of the opening and settlement of the Cherokee strip. But put of these conditions, law, order and the security of life and property will be evclved.

A careful investigation re veals the fact that there are no ambitious youug doctors around the Herald office. Bitter Against the Troops. Tlie feeling against the government troops is bitter in all parts of the strip. They are charged with oppression and corrupt connivance at the entry of some of the sooners.
