Yellow fever in Brunswick, anil the
people of that city are Ileeing from
the disease!
Suoli was the startling information
received in Albany over the wires Sat
urday night from the City by the Sea.
And the news spread like wild-lire,
as is always the case with bad nows.
The tlrst intimation received here
that the fever had broken out in
Brunswick and that the people were
ileeing from it came to Mr. F. L. Wil
der in the way of an inquiry as to
whether Albany had quarantineo.
Shortly after Mr. Wilder received his
dispatch the following came :
Thu Minor of Rrnuswtch Notices
Iffityor Gilbert.
Brunswick, Ga., Aug. 12, 1803.
W. II. Gilbert, Mayor:
Dr. Bralmm, United States Surgeon,
has an Isolated case of yellow lever.
No immediate danger apprehended.
People are leaving.
Thos. W. Lamb, Mayor,
Prompt Action by the dliijor not! Coun
cil.
Immediately after receiving the
above telegram Mayor Gilbert called
the City Council together to consult
as to what action should be taken to
protect our own city. It was learned
that a good many people were en
route here from Brunswick on the
cannonball train due.here at 1 o’clock
Sunday morning, and prompt action
was necessary if the gates of the city
were to be closed against them.
The Mayor and Counoil, after con
sulting with Dr. P. L. Hilsman, oity
physician, determined that the only
safe plan to adopt for the protection
of the oity was to quarantine against
the infected city, and, while they
were at it, they decided to quaran
tine against Pensacola, too. The
Mayor was, accordingly, request
ed to issue his proclamation de
claring quarantine and ordering the
Marshal to enforce the quarantine
regulations against Biunswick and
Pensacola, as prescribed in the city
ordinances.
Following is the Mayor’s proclama
tion :
quarantine Notice.
AVhereas, Official information hav
ing been received through the Mayor
of Brunswick that a case of yellow
fever is at quarantine in that city, and
that people are Ileeing from it, a spec
ial meeting of the City Council and
Board of Health of the City of Albany
was held and quarantine declared
against Brunswick and Pensacola,
which latter city is also reported as
having yellow fever within its limits.
In compliance with resolution
adopted by the City Council nnd by
authority vested in ine by the ordi
nances of this city, I issue tin's my
proclamation declaring quarantine
against the cities of Brunswick and
Pensacola, and order that- the City
Marshal proceed at once to enforce
the quarantine regulations against
said oities ns prescribed in Chapter
XII of the city code.
W. H. Gilbert, Mayor.
Albany, Ga., Aug. 13,1 SOB.
They llntt-fl to Do 11.
It was very evident as soon as they
commenced to discuss the situation
that the Mayor and Counciimen
were loath to close the gates
of our city against the
people ' of Brunswick. There are
many links by which the two cities
are connected, and the sympathies of
our people go out to those of our sister
city by the sea in this emergency.
But the duty of the Mayor and Coun
oil was plain, and they did not hesi
tate! When the yellow fever broke
out in Brunswick in 1876 several per
sons came from there to Albany
and died of the disease, and no
b&rm came of it. The disease never
obtained a bold here, and there are
many who think that cases of yellow
fever might be brought here with
impunity even now; but the epidemie
Imd always considered themselves ex
empt from yellow fever experienced
epidemics of the disease from giving
shelter to refugees from Infected cities.
Such instances were cited by our
City Fathers during their delibera
tions Saturday night, and they adopted
tlie only safe oourse that was open to
them to keep the disease out of Al
bany.
IVotlfloil Thai They Couldn’t Conte Iits
Alderman E. N. Clark, who is the
locnl agent of the B. & W. rail
road. went to his office as soon
as the Counoil adjourned and wired
the conductor of the cannonball traiu
that quarantine had been declared
and that passengers from Brunswick
would not be allowed to land here.
The telegram was sent to Tifton
that refugees from Brunswluk who
were en route to Albany could either
stop nt Tifton, provided they would
be permitted to do so, or take the G.
S. & F. road for some plnce where
they would be received.

City -Marshal Westbrrok went to
work ns soon as hb received his In
structions from the Mayor to

IVo 1’nu.r for Alarm.
There was considerable uneasiness;
not to say excitement, in the city over
the yellow fever news Saturday night,

or and Counoil should allay all appre
hension. The sanitary condition of the
oity has never been better, nor the
drainage so perfeot as now, and we
have been yellow fever proof hereto

JHoellng the Cnnnon Hull.
The cannonball train from Bruns
wick came In Inte. It’s Holicdule time
is 1 :ir> o’clock, but it did not reach the
Junction on the east side of the river
yesterday morning until 5 o’clock. A
Herald reporter met the train at the
Junction and found Marshal West
brook and two or three deputies there.
The train consisted of four coaches
and one sleeper, and they were 1 all
pretty well loaded. The through pas
sengers were all put into one coach
and this came on to the oity and was
pulled out toward Macon and Mont
gomery at 6 ;20.
There were about twenty persons on
the traiu who had left Brunswick for
Albany. These and all others wlio did
not prefer to go through, were de
tained at the quarantine station, nnd
went hack down the road by the
next train.
The crews of the two , cannonball
trains exchanged at Sumner, where
they met yesterday morning, and those
who went out with the Southbound
train brought in the belated train yes-
day.
Many of the through pnssengers did
not know where they would stop, but
said they preferred to go through
rather than he detained at quaran
tine, and would take up as soon ns they
got beyond the reach of the yellow
fever scare.
There are a number of Albany peo-
pie on Cumberland and St. Simons Is-
lands, and they were expected by their
friends yesterday morning, but the
Herald reporter who met the train at
the Junction did not recognize any
familiar faces in the crowd.
Tifton and Wayoross had quaran

at either of these plaoes.

Th« Brunswick Tlnira-AUTeriUer «n
the Sltnmlou.
Yesterday morning's Brunswick
Times-Advertiser reports in its local
columns the facts about the Branham
case, and prints the following very
sensible nnd conservative editorial on
the sit uation:
I> II Yellow Fever f
Our city has been placed In a very
awkward and hazardous position, that
calls for the greatest exeroise of cool
ness and judgment.
Weibelleve that the people here have
been umtuly excited, ami sensation
has overcome reason.
It Is true that Dr. John AV. Bran-
haui placed in oharge of our quaran
tine station by tlie United States mar
ine hospital service, Is sick, and that
three of our oity physicians have pro
non need his a case of yellow fever.
But it is also true that Dr. Branham
contracted'his siokness at tho quaran
tine station. It is also true that he
hae puffered with malaria since his
first coming and has been under treat
ment.
It Is not our purpose to indulge nny
spirit of oritloism at this time, but If
Dr. Brqnham has the yellqw fever it is
due to bur community to say tlint this
ease is not of Brunswick origin.
But, however that be, every precau
tion has been taken by our sanitary
board, in connection with the oity
council, to prevent its spread.
A striet guard line been placed about
•the premises, nnd no one will be al
lowed to enter or leave the place.
Botlv doctors, Branham and Dun-
woodv, have been quarantined.
Every known appliance of fumiga
tion will be employed to prevent fur
ther infection.
Every person that lias been about
the place has been Isloted,
Every physioian says that the possi
bilities are ngalnst its spread.
AVe believe that uui; peoplenre doing
themselves a great wrong to become
panicked. There cannot possibly be
any danger without other oases de
velop, and until that time we advise
coolness, cleanliness nnd watchfulness.
The health board, the city authori
ties and thq Tlmes-Advortlser can be
relied upon to state the exact facts in
the case. Nothing will bo suppressed.
Don’t get excited. Remember that
two cases nt Pensacola ocourred sev
eral days ago, and there has not. been
another. The conditions in Bruns
wick are against its spread. Tlie town
is in good sanitary condition.

Brunswick, Ga., Aug. 12, ’33,1 a. m.
—Nothing new has developed in the
reported yellow fever case. Dr.
Branham had a good night of it, and is
reported to be doing well. Though
sick for five days, he,is entirely con
scious and dmis not know that he is
suspected of having the deadly pest.
It is believed by many who know the
yellow fever that Dr. Branham has
not got it; He is at the residence of
Ilia cousin, Dr. H. M. Branham, who
Imd him removed from the Quaran
tine Station, where he was taken sick.
The house has been completely iso
lated and guards placed about it.
Every known form of fumigation is
being used about the premises, nnd
the general opinion of the Health
Board and City Physicians is that the
disease will be stamped out.
Drs. Branham and Dunwuody have
been quarantined at the house, and no
intercourse with it is allowed. Dr. R.
E. Buford has been appointed acting
health officer, and Surgeon General
Wyman has been aiked for another
quarantine officer. He baa ordered
the removal of the quarantine station
to another point.
About 700 people, .many, of them
visitors, left the oity lait nigbt. A
number bought tickets for Albany.

Some Telegram, nnd n I.elter From
Brannwick Thnt Throw More
I.IShl en the Mailer.
Many telegrams of anxious inquiry
flashed over the wires from Albany to
Brunswick yesterday and this morn
ing, sent by parties wlio have relatives
and friends spending a time on Cum
berland and St. Simons, and who are
anxious to have them at home before
the epidemic becomes general, should
such a thing occur.
The following private message to
an Albany gentleman is very hopeful:
Brunswick, Aug. 14.—Interview
with Mayor Lamb. It is thought by
old doctors not to be yellow fever, but
merely a ease of jaundice.
A note from conductor W. S. Bull,
of the cnnnon bull train, to the Mayor,
states that the people of Brunswick
feel satisfied that the case is not yel
low fever. Also that Dr. Brahain and
his physicians are isolated, and the
patient is doing finely.
A meeting of tije City Counci) was
called tbis morning at 11 o'clock, and
it was decided to allow those Albany
persons who are on the Islands and
have not stopped in Brunswick, to re
turn home, should City Physician
Hilsman so recommend.
Later in the day Dr. Hilsman ex
pressed Ills opinion on the subject, and
the Albany people who are on tile Is
lands will be permitted to return
home.
The f*nte*t.
BnuNswicK, Ga., 14.—Kxoitement is
entirely allayed and indignation has
taken its place. Some of tlie best
fever experts In the city deny that
Brandham has yellow fever snd his
constantly improving condition since
the announcement justifies their view.
AVbatever his symptoms, he has not
been in the pronounced stages of yel
low fever. United States Marine Hos
pital Surgeons arrive tbis evening.
Indignation meeting called for to
morrow afternoon to denounce action
of health officers in bringing a sus
pected case from quarantine Co city.
Report has done great wrong to
Brnnswlck and much damage. Mr. J.
D. AVeston, of Albany, fa in the city
and fully approves this statement. He
will not remove bis family from St.
Simons, as the hotel will continue
open to end of season.

A Herald reporter had a talk with
County Commissioner L. Sterne sev
eral dnys ago, and from him learned
something as to the exact condition of
tlie county- -financially Rpenking;
which is, just now, very popular.
AVlien asked If tho oounty was out
of funds Mr. Sterile answered “yes"
and “no,” almost simultaneously, nnd
then regnled the reporter with one of
Ills genial and clinraoturislla smiles.
“I’ll tell you how it is,” lie sa)d,
finally. “In the first plane, tile oounty
got caught out oil tlie Hobbs & Tucker

tlint was. Well, at that time the
County Treasurer Imd about $1,900 in
the hank, while the Tax Collector dls-
closed a bnnk book that showed a de
posit of $1,800—say $3,800 nil told,
which Isa pretty neat sum these dayB.

haven’t nny money on hand at ail, but.

“But,” aoiitliiiied Mr. Sterne, “wo

count. The oounty has been In some
tighter places than this, and has al-
wnys come out all right, and I believe
it will do so again.”
“How about a new jail?” asked the
reporter.
“Now, there you linvo unearthed
that Banquo spectre again. AVell, it
will be nrter October Superior Court

matters. But let me tell you bow this
jail business stands, anyhow. As yo,u

An Unexpected Mnrrlnge.
It was not until a few days ago that
the many friends of Mr. Jesse D. Ram

Mr. Ramsey’s marriage wus quite
romantic in that he had only seen his

Mr. Ramsey’s wife’s maiden name
was Miss Eula Perry, of near Cutlf-
bert, a s'ister of his brother’s wife, and
it was through them that an innocent
correspondence was started.
And thus it went along for some
time, no one dreaming that anything
like a marriage was on the tapis.
On the 2nd day of August Mr. Ram
sey went to Cuthbert and thence to
the home of the young lady who had
written such sweet letters to him, it
Was a trial meeting, but it resulted
satisfactorily, and the day following
the happy couple were married.
After spending a few days at the
home of the bride’s parents they left
for their future home nedr Acree,
where Mr. Ramsey’s friends were
treated to a genuine surprise.
Mr. Ramsey is a son of Mr. H.'A,
