Surgeon Hutton’s Illness at
, Unfortunate Time.
TILLMAN CALLS FOE HELP.
Brunswick, Sept. 7.—(Special.)—Sur
geon W. H. H. Hutton of the marine
hospital service is suffering from a se
vere attack of vertigo at his room in
the Ocean hotel!, ns announced exclu
sively by the Telegraph correspondent
last night. During the night the
attacks were so severe that Dr. Quit-
eras called In Dr. Hugh Burford to
take charge of the case. This morning
Dr. Hutton grew worse, but after din
ner he rallied and Is now rapidly re
covering. His physicians tonight are
cheerful and believe his speedy return
to good health is assured.
Surgeon Hutton’s illness naturally
started a few rumors among some un
easy people, but the emphatic state
ments of the doctors thnt there was
nothing alarming connected with his
case quickly stopped these rumors.
Owing to the fact a few ill-timed
private telegrams were sent out by
some citizens, the Telegraph correspon
dent has secured an official statement.
Dr. Gutters#, the eminent expert, dic
tated the following to the correspond
ent. in response to n request tor an
official statement:
"Surgeon Hutton is suffering from an
attack of vertigo apparently connected
with an old ear trouble first contracted
during the war. When he first reach
ed Brunswick he complained of this
trouble and five nights ago it grew
worse until yesterday the attacks be
came more frequent. It is a difficult
car- - diagnose, but you can state very
positively that it has nothing to do
with yellow fever. The question of
Surgeon Hutton having yellow fever
has never entered my mind. Surgeon
Hutton has had yellow fever. He was
in charge of Che Mobile and Jackson
ville epidemic, and It ts rarely the case
that a person hns the disease twice.
He has no fever of any kind. He hns
had these attacks for five years pant
off and on. While they were worse
yesterday than before t can freely say
that he is much better today and I
have every reason io believe he will be
out In two or three days.”
SORRY FOR THE REPORT.
In an interview regarding the ease.
Dr. Guitera* expressed regret that Sur-
, goon Hutton’s illness had be com-
known and Chat rumora should bp
abroad. He expr-wly desired the pub
lic to know that he had no favor of
any kind. Th attacks have affected
Surgeon Hutton's head seven-ly and
whenever he rt»’« from the bed hU
brain whirls and he has to be held to
keep him from falling.
Dr. Guiteras could give no informa
tion in regard to tbo quarantine being
raised on Brunswick. From hi* con
versation it was learned that he per
sonally thinks all the danger Is over,
but the surgeons are governed in th;
matter by the wshes of cltlz-its In the
neighboring towns. Surgeon Hutton
was to confer with Dr. Brunner of Sa
vannah at Camp Hutton today on that
mutiier but fits Illness prevented. He
ttv.Oks until Surgeon Hutton resumes
hi* duties the matter will be postponed,
but Chat U a question of a few days,
Burgeon Magruder of Camp Hutton
will probably be detailed here for th*
present.
Dr. Guiteras Is the only government
official here now. Hr was requested to
come and investigate the cause of the
first cast owing to his ability and fame
as an expert. His work and researches
here have been exhaustive and he is
beginning to show signs of fatigue. He
says a few nights’ rest will r-cupecste
his strength.
RAISING THE QUARANTINE.
Fifteen days have passed snd no
near or suspicious esara of fever lave
been reported. Birred in by virtually
a Shot gun quarantine. Brunewickisn#
have patiently wasted with but few
protests for the fifteenth day to pass
before requiring that the quarantine
be lifted. Wtth the eyre of th- world
turned on tmr people Brunswick hits
been viewed by thousands as a verita
ble pest bole and these views are the
result of lying correspondent* from
neighboring cities, whb have made mo
ney by manufactur'd sensational tele
grams of a city’s misfortune. Atl this
has been patiently borne. Brunswick
was literally tied hand and foot while
the vampires of journalism nightly
wired their sensational matter.
figure.d by the government’s promise
to lift the quarantine on -.he fifteenth
day, and knowing no mote rases ex
fetid, Brunswick stool her troubles,
but now more delay has beon added,
and now the blood of ftp* peopU boils
with indignation. Four thousand
people ire here suffering the
terrible pangs of hunger, with no
means to have or earn money, would
take their guns in hand if necessary
and break down the inhuman barrier
that surrounds them Fortunately this
Is not necessary, but when at council
meeting today Dr. Guiteras announced
that Dr. Brunner, the Savannah heal lb
officer, would be ccurulted on lifting
the quarantine, the blood of every man
present boiled with indignation, and
they loudly demanded Brunner’s right
to be consulted, he l clng only a munici
pal officer. Official dignity controlled
a speech that otherwise would have
caused trouble, but Alderman Madden,
Mayor Lamb and others, controlling
themselves as best they could under
such circumstances, said the quaran
tine must b< raised. Alderman Madden
was red hot, and his speech rang with
burning words, it brought council tc
action, and the result was that the gov
ernment war given until noon tomorrow
to advise the quarantine lifted or the
rights of 2 sovereign people will he de
manded. and unless the government
acts a mass mooting will be held and
Brunswick will send a strong delega
tion. 10» strong, to Governor Northen
to demand her rights. There Is no yel
low fever here, and admitting the ex
perts w«re right, there has been none
in fifteen days. Why the dtiea of Geor
gia should act In auch an Inhuman and
senseless manner as to keep Brunswick
people bottled up like hogs in a slaugh
ter p«n, without mqney. work or food,
is beyond human understanding, it Is
folly and should prove a curse on every
town that persists In It. The honor
Of every physician, surgeon, official, and
the city Itself is a* stake when the

Twenty Thousand Negroes Are Said
to Be Destitute.
Columbia, S. C., Sept. 7.—Governor
Tillivan lonlght made the following
appeal for help for the people of the
islands and the country ruined by the
recent cyclone:
•‘An Appeal to the People of the Unit-
oil States: The hurricane which swept
the South Atlantic coast the 27tli of
August was unparalleled in Its severi
ty. It spread desolation and ruin
throughout the entire state of South
Carolina, but the sea islands were the
greatest sufferers by reason of severity
of the wind and unprecedented height
of tide. The sea invaded the land.
’Hundreds of houses have been swept
away by The waves or blown down by
the wind, and while the exact number
of deaths will never be known, it can’t
be less than a thousand. Vegetation
has been as completely blasted by the
salt water as though it were the greath
of a simoon. What was a prosperous
and blooming expanse of rice iields,
gardens and farms, is today a desert
with the very landmark destroyed,
leaving the people without shelter,
without food, witliout the possibility
of getting work, except for a limited
number to confront the terrors of star
vation until another crop can bo grown.
‘•Owing to the fact that nineteen-
twemieth* of them are negroes and
that means of communicating with the
remote islands have been destroyed, I
have only within a day arrived at a
clear understanding of the situation and
the misery it unfolds. Dr. J. W. Bab
cock, superintendent of the state lunatic
asylum, an accomplished physician and
sanitarian, who went to the scene of
the disaster on September 1 as W of
ficial representative, returned today'
and his report accompanies the appeal.
I do nut deem it nece&eary to dwell
upon the picture he draws. I have not
felt Justified hitherto tu asking for help
except from our own people. The peo-

pestilence will claim many thousand
Ictims before the winter is over is our
efforts are not supplemented by the
charitable in other states.
“I pledge my official word that the
contributions shall reach the people for
whom they are intended; that the
charity which may bo given shall not
be misapplied; that las incss and Idl*-
ne*s will not be encouraged. All the
money and provisions donated will be
applied to the support of these people
as to enable them to rebuild their
homes and take a new start in life with
the new year. There are not less than
20,000 thus destitute. Bread alone for
these storm sufferers will cost no* less
than $75,000 between now and March,

icines, bed clothing, anything that can

The directors of the Southwestern
railroad met at the office of the compa
ny on Third street yesterday.
A quorum of the board was present
and Mr. Frank H. Miller of Augusta
was also in attendance.
As the meeting bad been specially
called. It Is to be presumed that some
thing of importance might be looked
for among the transactions of tho
board, but after adjournment President
Baxter said that the meeting had not
been one of importance and that there
was nothing to give out.
AH members of the board were like
wise non-committal, and it may safely
be presumed 1 eithere that the directors
had some matter of importance before
them but the publlcatloh of which
might upset their future plans, or that
the meeting did not result In anything.
A large stockholder In the Southwes
tern said yesterday that he understood
tbe meeting was called for the purpose
of discussing matters pertaining to the
hearing of the case to come up before
Justice Jackson In Nashville some time
this month, and which very materially
affects all the stockholders of the road.
This hearing may result In saving to
the Southwestern something like $1,-
700,000, which -the road would have to
pay in the event the decision rendered
by Justice Jackson In' Savannah last
July >Jh the foreclosure of the tripar
tite bonds were to go Into effect.
But. as will be remembered, on the
appeal of Messrs. A. O. Bacon and
Frank Miller of Augusta, who went be
fore Justice Jackson after the decision
was rendered, but before the order had
been recorded, the case was reopened
and the counsel of the road were then
granted an opportunity ito present some
new points going to show that' the
Southwestern should not be held lia
ble for the payment of the- tripartite
bonds. It was claimed by the ccuneel
on the other side .that the Southwest-
ern^rallroad was a 'beneficiary of Che.
money secured on this tripartite mort
gage of $5,000.000. and that, therefore,
the road should be made to pay the
whole amount, or at least to be sold
first, before the Central railroad, to
satisfy this mortgage. Messrs. Bacon
and Miller, however, held that the
Southwestern was merely a surety on
the bonds and that the road should not
be sold unless the Central under sals
failed to make good the full amount
of $5,000,000. Justice Jackson, however,
held that the Southwestern should be
held for a one-third payment and that
the property of the stockholders should
be sold cotemporaneously with the Cen
tral to make this payment, unless In the
meanwhile they could raise the money
and pay It without going to sale.
It wo* on this decision that a stay
of entry was granted, and counsel will
this time make a strong effort to have
the Southwestern relieved from all re
sponsibility.
While no direct Intimation to that
effect wa* given by the directors yes
terday. It Is probable that the meeting
held yesterday had direct connection
with this ease.
notable feature of the meeting
yesterday was tbe absence of Mr. H.
M. Comer, who would naturally be a
prominent member in the event of any
aotlon being tnkefi regarding the road

of the proceedings. President Baxter

A Good 3!ed!ctno.
[Atlanta Constitution.]
The times certainly look more hope
ful—we feel it In the air—the caldron
has been boiling and bubbling—the
froth and scum have been thrown over
and we begin to see the bottom of the
pot through the clear liquid that has
been so dark and muddy. Time is a
good doctor—in a little while the pa
tient will convalosce. Old folks can’t
be fooled and alarmed like young folks.
When I was In Texas last year I met
hundreds of good, honest people who
were wild with excitement about
Clark and Hogg. The cry on one side
was, " Turn Texas loose,” and it seemed
like the great state was bound and
gagged, and h»r ruin was inevitable if
Hogg was elected. The newspapers
and the people in the towns and cities
cried in frantlo tones, “Turn Texas
loose."
But Hogg was elected, nevertheless,
and Texas is there yet in all her glory
and all her strength. I never took
sides, for it was none of my fight, and
I was too old to be alarmed.
Memory goes back now to great ex-
oitement, both political and financial,
and when I hear the wild screech of
the politician as he predicts ruin! ruin!
ruin! if they don’t do his way, t I feel
like it Is history just repeating itself,
and the storm will blow over as usual.
A little time is all that is wanted—
time to reflect, and rest and recuperate.
The great Dr. Abernathy was asked
the secret of his success as a physician.
He replied:
“ I amuse the patient and let nature
do the work."
Just so tho nation's finances arc now
sick, and congress is the doctor. Up
to this time the doctor hasn’t given
any medicine, nor done a blessed thing
except to amuse the patient, and I
verily believe there are signs of re
covery.
The truth is the doctor might safely
be discharged and the patient would
get well. Just let cotton begin to
move, and the south will be all right.
England will move it If tho United
States cannot, and there will be two
or three hundred millions of dollars
put in circulation down south this fall
and winter. There will be probably
thirty millions paid out In Georgia,
and probably three hundred thousand
dollars in Bartow county. Good gra
cious—what a pile of moneyl I've got
no cotton, but surely I will get a little
of that money.
That will pay lots of debts, and that
will turn Georgia loose and turn Texas
loose. That money will not be hoarded
nor hidden. Most of It is owing now to
merchants, and the merchants will
watch the farmer when he sells. Tbat
money is bound to circulate, for they
say that ten dollars paid to a debtor
does not stop, but keeps on paying
from one to another until It has paid
hundreds or thousands, and la as good
or bettor than the clearing house cer
tificates of the beqke.
But we haven't loet confidence in
congress: There are some statesmen
there—men whose patriotism is abovo
party—men who rise above self-inter
est and re-election and have the good
of the people at heart. At the last
they are the men who control. They
nre the men who will settle this ques
tion of disturbed finances, and they
will settle it right. 80 let the wheels
roll on. A year from now wo will all
wonder that we were so much alarmed.
The truth ts the common people, the
bone and sinew, the farmers and pro
ducers, arc not panic struck, and they
wonldeot know there was a panic 11
they dident read the papers It is the
towns and cities and merchants and
bankers that are hurt. The only ap
prehension of the farmers now Is tbat
the money kings will pull down the
price of cotton so as to speculate on It
and get richer and richer. They will
find money enough to buy at a low
price, hut have none for a fair price.
When will the millionaire* get rich
enough? Like.the horse-leech, their
cry Is “give, give,” and they keep on
bearing what they buy and bulling
what they sell until they suck the life
blood out of the working man. The
government has passed laws against
combines and corners, monopolies and
trusts, but there is a way to dodge
all of them, and no one man can af
ford to go to law about It. That’
where the peoplo'a party comes from.
When they see in the papers that pork
dropped 50 per cent In one day and
wheat 25 per cent on another day they
know that the speculators had been
bulling it after they had bought it all
up, and when the hand they played
bursted the drop came. The producer
would be willing for his bread and
meat to be cheap to the poor. If he
did not get a fair return for his own
labor It would be a comfort to know
that the millions of poor consumer*
got more of It for their scanty wages
But these greedy speculators In the
necessaries of life, these vampires who
buy by the million and hoard and keep
and bull after they buy are the curse
of both the producer and the consum
er. The people understand all this,
and so when some schemy, ambitious
fellow gets on the stump and klldees
around and talks about Jeffersonian
democracy and how neither of the old
parties can now be trusted, they fall
into line and look to him as a Mows
seat to deliver them from bondage.
But parties cannot remedy theta
evils. There Is a law now in our code
forbidding the carrying of concealed
weapons and yet half of the young
men of the town and the country carry
them habitually. Just let a row or
quarrel begin any where, even at
camp meeting, and see how many
pistols are drawn. The trouble is that
tbe courts do not execute the laws.
The courts fling this charge hack upon
the people and say why don’t you
prosecute—why do vou dodge party
duly—why do you fail to come up and
testify? And so It seems that every
body Is to blame more or less for
everything. Our preacher said last
night that he had been a close ob
server of the troubles and afflictions
mankind and In nine cases out of ten
they were the crop that wa* planted.
"What ye sow. that shall ye also reap.”
Even the poverty that many complain
of la the result of their own planting.

Aluminium Itallnnz Ticket*.
The latest use for aluminium uf or
street car tickets, and it must be admit
ted that the metal is singularly adiui«i
for the purpose. A street railway has
just made its first issue of these light
ana ornamental tokens, which are about '
the size of a silver quarter dollar. One
is round, for ordinary fare; the other
octagonal, for children. The adults’
ticket is sold by tho railroad company to
the public at the rate of six for 85 cents
and the child’s ticket at the rate of 10
for 35 cents,
Tho company does not allow its em
ployees, either conductors or motonnen
to sell tho tickets to the public, bnt dial
poses of tiiea In *10 lots to the several
storekeepers, who handle them exclu
sively. This method of distributing the
tickets overcomes to a certain extentthe
difficulties which have always attended
the salo of tickets by employees in con
nection with the receipt of cash faree
Tho aluminium ticket has also the great
advantago of requiring no cancellation.
As soon as tho tickets are turned in by
the public to the railroad company they
are done np in packages and sold again.
It Is said that the tickets are much in fj.
