that some bold stroke would be

THE NEGRO IN HIS SITUATION AND MS Rr1A
TIONs.

TONE
The kmall-p Is prevalent in all sections Of
the State, though chiefly confined to the cities
In Savannah, but there Is more in Augusta,
Macon, Athens, Atlanta, Marietta, and Co
lumbus-these siI points being those at which
lis rnyagcs have been greatcst-Atlanta and
Macon being the worst Of these. The disease
is mostly confined to the negroes, md Is
doubtless aggravated hy the wfetched condi-
deaths averaged about ten per day in the
carly part Of last month at Macon there were
reported BY medical gentlemen to be at least
five hundred cases about the middle Of the
month. At Columbus the disease was SO
general that many persons refused to 60 upon
the streets for fear Of contogion. At At
lanta it broke out In an alarming manner less
than q fortnight ago. Indeed, I have not
becn in any part Of the State that was wholly
exempt from some cases. At Newman there
was an average Of eight or ten deaths per
week; some thirty cases were reported nt
over forty had died in month at Amer1crs-
end more or less cases have occurred In score
more towns Of the average size OF these. I
heard of but three plantations On which 1t
had appeared. The poverty Of the negroes Is
doubtless one inviting cause Of the epidemic !;
but the needless filth In which many Of them
live and the small and poor medical
attendance which they receive, arc the chief
causes fits spread. The medical officers Of
the Frcedmen's Bureau, as well as some Of
the citizens Of the State, nre taking measures
to check Its rayegcs but however yigolous
these arc now, OF hereafter may be, thousands
OF the poor creatures must die before the
fresh airs Of spring bling purified atmos-

the top OF the ears under the wheels. which
passed over his legs crushing it so terribly that
amputatlon became necessary.
lie, however, soon died from the effects of
the wound, and was brought to his home in
this city, and was buried this morning. He
was about twenty years of age.
''WHO had THE COOK IN HIS POCKET ?''-
That Is the question which agitates the hunters
OF Alton at this time. The sportsmen of Port
age are looking for another visit from Alton
sportsmen. Such freak of fortune as they
had on Wednesday last. does not often fall to
their lot. We understand that the oresaid

HEALTH.-We have been informed that there

the health of the people in this vicinity, within

much sickness since the year 1914, as there
has been this fall. Nearly everybody has
been more or less affected by bilious attacks of
one kind or another.
PROVOST MARSHALS.-In our article of yes
terday in speaking of the consolidation of all
the different Provost Marshais offices in this
State into four, we remarked that it is not

however, that our late efficient and popular
Provost Marshal of the Twelfth Congressional
District, Captain Collins, has been retained in
that capacity for the consolidated district.
