THE HUSTLER OF ROME.
SELMA IN ROME
ABOUT TWO HUNDRED REFU
GEES IN THE CITY.
IS ROME IMPREGNABLE
Many of Her Citizens Think so.
Thrre Are Others.
About 4<»o Romans met the
Southern from Selma, at 5.30 yes
terday afternoon to ihe Selma
refugees hit the town. The city
council'had met and with alder
man K me, Turner .and Hanks dis
senting. had agreed to let the ref
ugees enter.
The welcome extend by Romans
was anything but unanimous in
its cordiality, however 150 to 200
refugees from the stricked city
“made the landing” and today are
comfortably qualified in the ho
tels and boarding houses.
If no harm comas of it, those
who are now so vigorously kicking
will have but little to say in the
future. On the other haud if
Rome hah a case, the army of
kickers of tokay will be greatly
reenforced.
There are many Bomans who
firmly believe that Rome is im
pregnable. so far as yellow fever
is concerned. Atlanta and Chat
tanooga both having suffered
from it while R >me has never had
a quarantine or an epidemic—
no, not even a case of yellow
fever,
May fe’l secure—but them are
others. Let’s live in hope even
if we do break a record and
have to skedaddle.

This me Tiling’s Atlanta Consti
tution says;
A case of yellow fever has ap.
peared in Atlanta. H. H. C< mmor
is the victim. He is a white man,
hails from Monigi mery, weighs
about 200 pounds, is a fireman or.
the Wist Point road, m d \s now
in a boarding house sit 179 Haynes
s'reet, between Hunter and
Rhodes.
He is in a serious condition,
black vom.t having set iu yester
day afternoon, and there is some
doubt of his recovery. He was a
very sick man late last night,
Commor lived next door to a
yellow fever victim in Montgom
ery who died about two weeks ago, '
It was there he probably caught
the germs. He refugeed ,o Atlan
ta about five days ago, aud took
up quarters on Hajnes street. He)
was slightly ill at the time, but at
tached no special significance to)
his condition. He began to grow
worse, however, and last Friday
called in Dr. Bridwell.
The patsent did not seem to im-j
prove under Dr. Briowell’s treat-1
rnent—who, it seems, never diag
nosed the case—and Saturday
morning Dr Bridwelljwas dismiss
ed. Dre. Stockard and Kennedy
was then oil led in. and they re- I
garded the ca»e with suspicion.
They called the attention of the
board as health to the patient’s)
condition, and awaited yesterday’s
developments before they would
pronounce the c ise yellow fever.
They visited Commor yesterday
morning, and his condition was
much worse His symptoms c.ear
ly betrayed yellow fever. At noon
a strict quarantine was instituted
around the house by Chief Vaal,
of the sanitary department, and
none of the boarders will be allow
ed to leave the premises or no one
to enter. The place is now sur
rounded by a strong guard.
HTOATION not alarming
The members of the board of
health and other city officials d<
not regard the situation as being
at al 1 alarming. Th» development
of cases here an ong refugees ii
nothing more than has been ex
peeled. The first case of the F ein
