Uff WORTHS! ATE n BUNN WICK.
Everything seems to go by crazes
and epidemics these days.
The latest and prevailing craze is
quarantine.
The two or three cases of yellow
fever at Brunswick have caused towns
and cities to quarantine that lutve
never thought of such a thing as
quarantining against yellow fever be
fore. And now some of the towns in
the upper part of the State are quar
antining against Atlanta because that
olty, feeling secure In its altitude and
remoteness from any section where
yellow fever has ever been known to
exist, has opened its gates to the refu
gees from the fever-stricken city by
the sea.
This is all foolishness and is all due
to what may be termed a quarantine
craze which has been spreading all
over the country during the last two
weeks.
It is all well enough for towns and
cities on the seacoast and even on
watercourses in the Southern part of
the State to quarantine against Bruns
wick or any other infected city, but it
strikes 11s that the quarantine business
is being overdone in the interior
towns and In the upper part of the
State.

Thb Augusta Evening News is re

iuoredible, but it’s true. The county
in question is Union, with an area of

claim to distinction had by the same
county is that not a single shipment

that there “are only two men in Wash

In making announcement of an im
portant event the Corilele Cordelian
says: “Tom Watson is billed to

While the Cordelian and Mr. IVa’soil
do not agree politically yet we would
bespeak for him a fair and respectful

cause we do not agree with them
politically is no reason why we
should not acoord them fair treatment

That the panio which was caused by
tbe discovery of a single case of yellow
fever, in Brunswick was precipitate,
especially when it is known that that
case did not originate in that city,
must be now apparent to everybody,

Times-Adverti8er gives expression to
the resentment that is felt by those
who remained at their posts of duty

Here’s to editors U. A. and Frank
Wrench, of the Brtinswiok Times-Ad-
vertiser, who are still at their post of
duty, and, with but one faithful print
er by their side, are sending out their
paper daily, under the most trying
oiroumstanoes. And here’s to that
faithful printer, too. The Times-Ad-
vertiser is the only work shop of any
kind in the fever stricken city that
hasn’t shut down and whose forces
have not been scattered by the alarm
and demoralization incident to the
yellow fever scare. Such heroism as
the Messrs. Wrenoh and printer Car-
uey are calmly exhibiting in the
midst of their present surroundings
should have its reward.

Weather Observer Smyth, of Sa
vannah, does not think that the
weather conditions this year are fa
vorable to yellow fever. Heims made
a careful study of the records of his
office, and tells tbe Savannah News
that he discovered a marked differ
ence in the weather of the summer of
1870, the year of the great, yellow fe
ver epldemio in Savannah, and the
weather conditions whioh have pre
vailed during the present summer. I11
fact the weather during the summer of
1893 has been Just tjje opposite of that
of 1876 in every way. A comparison
of the weather for the two seasons
shows that the rainfall during June,
July and August of 1876 was much
heavier than that during the same
months this year, while the tempera
ture in 1876 was considerably higher
than for the same month this year.

Read the Herald.
TnE Savannah News remarks that
“there seems to be a good deal of dis
satisfaction with Speaker Crisp,
among Democrats, for appointing Mr,
Bland chairman of the committee 011
coinage." The Herald has failed to
see any evidence of any such dissatis
faction “among Democrats." In fact,
the News is theflrit Demooratio paper
in which we have seen this announce
ment made. Mr. Riand is a Democrat
in good standing and stands squarely
on the Democratic platform, and, in
view of the fact that the chairmanship
of the coinage oommittee belonged to
him under the established usage of
both political parties in the assign
ment of the chairmanships of the
House, it would have been an outrage
upon the part of Speaker Crisp to have
given this place to another.
