Heeling of the Plant System Officials.
The annual meeting ot the officials of
the Plant System met to-day in Savan
nah, CoL H. S. Haines and the other of
ficials have gone to that city.
It is understood that the System is in
first rate physical condition, and no one
doubts that it is one of the best managed
in the Middle States and one of the most
prosperous. Mr. Plant lia3 only first
class men in ’his employ, and this is,
doubtless, one of the secrets of the suc
cess of this mammoth enterprise.
The people of South, South-West
Georgia and Florida, have great cause to
congratulate themselves, upon the fact
that this section is permeated by the dif
ferent roads under this superb manage
ment.
To a very great extent the prosperity
and happiness of our own Magic City at
this time, is due to the fact that Mr.
Plant has retained at full pay, nearly all
his empleyes during the stringent times,
when other roads were laying them oil*
by the hundreds.
The Plant people are devoted to their
employers and to their system, and it is
proper that they should be. The em
ployes of the B. & W. and S., F. & W.
are, with scarcely an exception, compe
tent, sober and highly efficient, hence,
the rare occurrence of accidents on their
lines.
The Plant System will continue to im
prove and prosper, and under its pro
tecting and fostering care, our own beau
tiful city will flourish and grow like a
green bay tree, or words to that effect.
May Mr. Plant live long to enjoy the
fruits of his liberal enterprise and great
magnanimity.

Among the insane rumors which
those who oppose the Hawaiian policy
of the administration clutch and grow
frantic over is one said to be contained
in a letter received by a San Francisco
merchant from his Honolulu corres
pondent. to the effict that Lilluokalani
had ordered “full train gowns for the la
dies of the court and a magnificient pur
ple robe for herself, to be used at the
restoration,” the date for which the let
ter fixed as last Tuesday, November 21.
Some usually well balanced journals are
almost having convulsions over this
statement. We trust the contempora
ries will get calm. Queen Lil has a
right to order any sort of gowns she
lik?s, without throwing the United
States in a panic.—Enquirer Sun.
A Letter From Brunswick.
Brunswick, Ga., Nov. 25, 1893.
Editor Herald: Some people
might have been amused if they had
seen with what intense interest I watch
ed a thermometer last night.
Since the epidemic commenced I have
been engaged in looking out for the safe
ty of the cotton factory and its surround-,
ings, but last night I think that I watch
ed that thermometer more than anything
else. Soon after dark the mercury stood
at thirty-eight. If it could only gc
down six degrees more, the ice kinc
would sign the death-warrant of Bruns
wick’s terrible enemy. Slowly but sure
ly the little bright thread was goinj
dewn. By mid-night it was down to I
thirty-five; only three more degrees now,
and the plague-stricken city will be c:;fe,
I watched it now with feverish anxiety,
lest it might change and begin to rise, I
thought of shaking it to see if that would
not make the mercury * sink faster, but
then I decided that it weuld be best to
let it have its own way. By 2 o’clock it
was down to thirty-four, by 4 it was
down to thirty-three and just before day-
ight the long-wished for point was
reached. I went to a hydrant and found
that ice had formed, I went to a bucket
and ice! ice! ice! ice! everywhere.
His majesty has at last placed his foot
firmly upon the neck of our fallen foe.
The medical authorities will soon have
all the houses iu the city fumigated and
then they will notify all the absent peo
ple that it will be safe for them to re
turn to their homes. The freeze could
not kill the death-dealing microbes
houses that were closed. The experts
employed by the government will have
to go through all the houses and expose
all the beds and clothing to the fume3
of a chemical preparation which des
troys the yellow fever germs. If people
occupy their houses before this is done,
there would be danger of another epi
demic ^,in fact, it would be cert? : n to
cause another it we were to have a warm

All through the epidemic I would
burn sulphur at night in the lit ;le office
near the factory or in my house. I did
not know that this would kill the mi
crobes, though I supposed that when
they would smell the burning sulplier,
they might possib’y turn up their noses
and leaved It certainly smells loud.
Medical scientists differ in opinion with
regard to this microbe business. Some
contend that yellow fever is caused by
phosphoric gas. Both parties may be
right foj the microbes inay be composed

would be “calm and serene,” like our

county is in the habit of sending first

her, and the people of' Ware have cer

he will be presiding on the superior

The Herald copies the above high en

order to add a word of commendation
further. Our people are justly proud of
Mr. Wilson, for he has shown himself in
every way, worthy of their confidence
and esteem. He is not only a brilliant
light in his profession, but is a true and
devoted Christian r being chairman oithe
