seems quite certain that theie are
several cases of smallpox in Birmingham
and Montgomery, and. perhaps, scattering
cases at ether points in Alabama.
There is little danger of it spreading to
Any extent as the health officials everywhere
are paying strict attention to the matter of
isolation. In an interview with Dr. Cald-
well, chief surgeon, this morning he in
formed us that under no circumstances
would a party coming from any infected dis
trict. with the possiblity of having been ex
posed. be admitted to the Plant System hos
pital at this place. It may be that towns
West of us may quarantine against Mont
gomery, but it is not likely that Waycross
will do so as we are amply protected by the
cities between us and the infectedjdistricts.
So far as beard from the cases are all ne
groes,and. as we have stated, are isolated.
If there should be any news in regard to
this matter that the Herald should deem
necessary to give the people of this city for
their protection we shall do so. At present
this section is in no danger.
And Lasts Until August 15.

was brought here yesterday afternoon by
W. J. Graves, who lives a mile from this
place on the Chattahoochee river. It
seems that Thomaston first attempted an
assault upon a young mulatto girl about
fourteen years old. She screamed for
help and when her mother came to her
assistance a fight ensued between her
and Thomaston. resulting in his escap
ing and tho old woman being wounded
on the arm by a cut from a knife. He
then proceeded to the home ot Mrs.
Graves and attempted an assault on her.
Mr. Graves arrived with his gun
juat in time, however, and cap
tured the negro and brought him to this
place, where he turued him over to dep
uty sheriff Andrew Erwin. The priso
ner was placed in the city guard house
for safe keeping until he could be taken
to LaGrange, but some time dun us the

by many that when Mr. Seward paid
Russia seven million dollars for that
distant and inhospitable territory, that
the bargain was nothing to brajf about
But it is likely that more than seven
million doitars in good gold coiu will
flow into our.coffers this year from the
Alaskan gold fields.
Any facts and statistics relating to the
territory will be read with interest by the |
people.
The estimated population at this time,
including Esquimaux aud Indians, is
about 40,000. The principal cities are
Sitka, Juneata, Wrangle and Circle City.
The notable rivers are the Yukon, 2,000
miles in length, the Kuskokwin and the
Copper. The Yukon is so great a stream
lhut six hundred miles from the coast it
is more than a mile wide.
Gold was discovered in 1879, and the
product up to date has been about $30,-
000,000, including $3,670,000 in 1896.
The meaning of Klondike is Deer
River, aud the Klondike field is partly
in American aud partly in British ter
ritory.
The distance to K’ondike from Chi
cago, by way of the Yukon is 6.500
miles, but by way of the Ckilkat pasi is
only about 4,000 miles.
Winter begins in September. During
June and July there is coutinuous day
light, while during Dectmber and Jan
ary there is continuous night.
The gold thus far discovered is all
placer gold.
The governor of the territory. James
D. Brady;' has his residence at Sitka, and
a United States District court is held
alternately at Sitka and Wrangel.

Conststutian Under Fire.
Nashville’ Tenn., August 4.—Walter
Clarke, associate justice of the supreme
a.urt of North Carolina, delivered an
address yesterday before the Tennessee
Bar Association, in which he advocated
sweeping changes in the constitution of
the United States, declaring that the
constitution is now undemocratic and
conducice to centralization.
He advocated the election by the peo
ple of the federal judiciary , and officers
of court, the election of senators by the
people, hnd of postmasters and all other
federals official, and made a vigorous at
tack upen the sppointive power of the
President.
THEY SHOULD JUSUf AT THE CHANCE
The Dalton Argus is disposed to be
conciliatory, and it invites those Repub
licans who have made the mistake of
parting company with their white broth
ers of the South, to affiliate with the Re
publican party and the negro, to return
while the light yet holds out. The Argus
thinks the attitude of the present ad
ministration toward the Southern whites
who strayed off into the Republican par
ty, is quite enough to convince them of
their mistake and of the utter hopeless
ness of ever bringing the party up to
that standard which would, make affilia
tion with it possible for Sonthern white
people.
THe Argus is not disposed to laugh at
those Republicans who did what they
could to save the South from negro of
fice holders. On the erntrary, it ap
plauds Major Hanson for his efforts in
this direction and says “North Georgia
is deeply grateful to Major Hanson for
his vigorous protest agapst Rucker’s ap-
yointmenL”
Continuing the Argos says: “If those
Atlanta Democrats (?) who endorsed
Rucker were the only sufferers by bis
appointment, no sorrow would be felt.
But it is a personal affront to the white
people of Georgia, regardless of party—
an intentional affront, made in the hopes
of giving the administration a pretext ot
advising the passage of another force
bill. Major Hanson should return to
the Democratic party. Less than ever
is the Republican party a place for such
men as he. It cannot get above wallow
ing in the mire with the negro. But. if
it results in reuniting the South*rn
whites against Republicanism, we mav
all live to bless McKinley for the ap
pointment."

WkcD the People’* Party, or thirJ

leading Democrats in this State as well
as out of it, argued aud pleaded with
those who were seekling to leave us that
they should stay in the ranks and. en
deavor to bring about the reforms they
detpanded inside the party lines. It
now turiis out that some of these very
men who were so loud mouthed in their
pleas and arguments to our Populist
friends, were first to bolt the Democratic
presidential nomination of last year. The
