To the Voters of the 36th Senatorial District: Having been chosen by the Democracy of Campbell county as their preference for Senator of the 36th Dis trict, and relying upon the indorsement Yellow Fever Report. Jacksonville, August 22.—There have been nine new cases of yellow fe ver during the last twenty-four hours, four firemen being among the new ca ses. There have been no deaths for thirty-six hours and none of the pa tients now under treatment are report ed dangerously ill. Six of the eight deaths which have occurred were of persons addicted to the excessive use of intoxicating liquors, and the other two were already in poor health from other diseases when attacked by the fe ver. All cases are now promptly isola ted, and sanitation and disinfection carefully looked after, ltisintemled to keep up the light against the epidemic with every means known to science. A thousand pounds of bi-chloride of mer cury lias been received from Philadel phia. This, with other disinfectants, will be used on the streets, in houses, etc. The citizens’ committee on sanita tion is going over the city a second time with several hundred scavengers. There are now about four centres of infection, the greater part of the city being apparently free from infection. The atmosphere seems to be purer than ever before. While the increase of new cases nat urally makes the people nervous, it was expected by the authorities, who have not by any means given up the hope of controlling the disease or materially checking its ravages. Indeed, confi dence is rather on the increase. It lias been recommended that surveillance be maintained over travel from the eoutli to intercept persons from infec ted parts, and the board of health has taken action accordingly. It is not be lieved that there have as yet been any cases of yellow fever at any point in Florida except this city, Manatee, Plant City, and Tampa, which last place is now reported free from the dis ease.

I am sixty-five years of age and too infirm to repair my loss by manual labor, and ask for the office of Treasurer to relieve me of the financial embarrassment consequent upon the disasters which befel my crops this and last year. G. H, SANDERS. k Columbus and Her Exposition- October 4th, 1888, will be a day of wonderful note to the people of the Chattahoochee Valley. Thousands are looking forward to the pleasure of a visit to the Lowell of the South, and the enjoyment and instruction that will be offered within the gates of the Expo sition Park. The premiums and purses are remarkably liberal, aggregating $15,000, and so divided that the compe tition will be interesting and attrac tive, both to the exhibitor and to the visitor. Months of elaborate.and cost ly preparation have resulted in the nn- est grounds and the best group of buildings for Exposition purposes ever seen in this section, and. the business men of Columbus are giving their time and energy to the success of the enter prise. The entries already received from the leading counties of Georgia and Alabama promise a magnificent display of agricultural products. The Lowell of the South, with her manufactures, and the Pittsburgh of the South, with her ores, will equally interest the student of the New South. The citrus fruits of Florida will serve as a foil for the coal and iron of North Alabama, and the Art Exhibition will contain paintings of national reputa- The uiagnilicent group of exhibits will be fully equalled by an unpara- _ lleled list of amusements. An lnter- J state military encampment and drill, in HM which the best Southern Companies are w already entered, will occur on the first » two days of the Exposition. The fast est horses in the country will be seen ■ on the Columbus track, pronounced by everv one the finest in the South. Mus ic of the highest order has been engag ed. Elaborate programmes for Shot gun, Bicycle and Tilting contests have been arranged. The largest balloon in the country will make ascensions, to gether with thrilling parachute jumps, and the displays of tire-works will be a revelation. From the opening daj, when the parade will be reviewed by the Governors of Georgia, Alabama and Florida, to the closing, each day s pro gramme will be replete with, all that goes to make up a great Exposition. For some time past he has been watch ing the pears on a favorite tree at Oak View approaching their fruition of ripeness, and his soul has been cheered and his mouth watered by the vision of the golden glories rising upon his sight. For days the sun had come and kissed the luscious pears, and every kiss had brought a brighter flush, and left a rip er sweetness to the fruit | but hope is dead to-day, and bitter disappointment has touched its cup to Mr. Cleveland’s lips. The godless vandal came between two days, and in the dark night watch he stripped the tree and didn’t leave a smell. It is such grief as this that makes the iron enter a President’s soul and transforms him into a private citi zen with a club seeking the son of a gun that stole “them pears.” Governor Gordon has ordered that two and six one-tenths of one per cent be assessed and collected upon all tax able property in the State. In addition to this the Governor has ordered that an extra tax of sixty-five one-hun dredths of one per cent be assessed and collected upon the property ret urned by each tax-payer. In addition to this an extra per cent of thirty-one one- dredths of one per cent shall be collec ted on the property of each tax-payer, the whole making three and fifty-six one-hundredths of one per cent, for all purposes, for the year 1888. Macon Telegraph: “The Mills bill, as it passed the House, makes a reduc tion on dutiable goods of §30,832,791. It adds to the free list articles which now yield a revenue of §18,728,845, mak ing a*total tariff reduction of $50,591,- 62(5. Under the existing tariff the av erage rate on dutiable imports is 47.10 per cent. The average rate on the same goods under the Mills bill is 42.49 per cent. And yet the Republican or gans have the audacity to refer to this as ‘free trade.’ ” War on the Bagging Trust. Savannah News. . . .
