who had not received medical at
tention, there having been no ap
plication, and an infant.
So far the malady has appeared
in only two white families, those
of Mr, H. E. Talton and Mr. Bed
ding Howard, neighbors on the
road from Dennard to Kathleen.
There were three cases at the
home of Mr. Talton, himself and
two daughters, all well now. Mr.
Talton has been up and attending
to his farm duties a week or more,
and we understand he . says the
disease he had was chicken ppx. *
At Mr. Howard’s one of. his
children has about recovered from
a case of varioloid, and his sister
was quite sick with small pox,
though she is now recovering
steadily.
By authority of Judge Hurst
and Commissioner Dennard, Dr.
R. L. Cater has attended the cases
reported, and by the same author
ity all reported cases and persons
known to have been directly ex
posed have been quarantined.
While every precaution thought
to be necessary is being made to
prevent the spread of the disease,
it is not known how many negroes
have been exposed, and all people
should be very careful. Vaccina
tion should be general, and for a
while promiscuous hand-shaking
might be dispensed with.
Though some who have been
lightly afflicted say the disease is
only chicken pox, and others de
clare it is not small pox, Dr. Ca
ter of Perry and Dr. Williams of
Bonaire, having made careful ex
amination, both declare it is small
pox, though in light form, and
prudence is certainly the better
part of valor in this connection.
Including several cases that
were convalescent before the first
report was made, there have been
at least thirty cases. Of these
two have died, an old man on Col,
Duncan’s plantation, and an in
fant near Bonaire.
Under quarantined there are
now, besides the two white fami
lies mentioned above, four fami
lies on Col. Duncan’s farm, one
at Kathleen, one on the Watson
place near Bonaire, one on the
Major Belvin place. There are
others suspected.
There was a meeting of citizens
at Perry Tuesday morning, and
Judge Hurst has requested Gov
Candler to have a goevrnment ex
pert sent here. In the mean time
there will be no relax of the pre
cautions used.

Mr. Editor—Next Saturday the
Justices of the Peace of the sever
al militia districts of the connty
will be elected.
In the Upper Town district the
contest -will assume the aspect of
party politics. There are two can
didates—a democrat and a popu
list. The democrat is Mr. William
B. White, and the populist Mr.
Walker E. Boler.
The district, as is the county, is
overwhelmingly democratic.
In every respect Mr. White is at
least as good as Mr. Boler. In
party service, Mr. White has ren
dered valiant service to democra
cy. Mr. Boler has fought democ
racy with much vigor, preferring
both populists and republicans.
Can democrats hesitate as to
their duty? Respectfully,
Democrat.
—Some of the negroeB declare
that the disease now attracting so
much attention in Houston is not
small pox, but that it is elephant
itch. Their story is that its first
appearance was at Cordele, and it
came as follows: A circus visited
Cordele, and the straw used as bed
ding for the elephants was gather
ed up by some negroes and used in
mattresses. , These negroes, it is
said, were the first victims of the
disease, and from them it spread.

Demonstration in Conrt.
In County Court on Wednesday
of last week, Mr. Elisha Dukes,
two sons and a nephew, O. M., E.
W. and D. C. Dukes were on trial
for simple larceny, The specific
charge was for stealing corn and
wheat from the farm of Mr. J. T.
Hartley near Fort Valley, on which
farm one of the young men was
employed as agent or overseer.
The jury returned a verdict, of
not guilty, the trial having occu
pied the entire day. It was after
sundown when the verdict was ren
dered, and the welcome declara
tion was greeted with a loud dem
onstration of approval, clamping
hands and shouts by the friends
of the accused. Judge Riley or
dered sheriff Cooper to collect $5
from each "of the men making
the noise, and a stampede ensued,
and Sheriff Cooper secured only
six out of about 15 or 20.
When brought before Judge Ri
ley, the offenders were permitted
to explain. One of them will suf
fice for all.
He said, in substance:
“Well, Judge, I didn’t mean, no
harm by it; I thought court was
adjourned. Anyhow, I was so
glad I couldn’t help clapping my
hands a little. I didn’t make
much noise, no-how.”
Judge Riley remitted the * fines,
but warned the men that they
must never again attempt such a
demonstration in court.
They promised, and departed
with another measure added to
their cup of jov.
