white men,sthe spokesman being Nj,
Robert Haggarty, who, according to the
directory, is transfer agent Of the Mis-.
sissippi and Tennessee railroad, There
was Mr. Green and others who also we're
violently opposed to the establishment
of the camp Attorney General Wright
informed Mr. Haggsrty that he would
have to assume great deal Of responsi-
bility if he opposed by violence the
establishment of this camp. Mr. Hag.
gerty informed General Wright that the
location of the camp would produce yel-
low fever in the whole district, and that
it would not only damage his property
but that of the neighbors, BE said he
was willing to contribute to the
assistance and relief of the peo,
pie of Memphis, but, with the
people 10 the district, was opposed TO
disease being brought there. The neigh
borLood was very sickly and congestion
was common now. They did not want
any more disease brought to their homes
and families. They did not wish to do
any violence or shed any human blood,
but il necessary they would resort to
severe measures to prevent the establish

shows that it will not spread in the epen
air. Unless we can remove the poor
from Memphis their sufering8 will be
great indeed Now as a question Of hu.

borhood than to have hundreds Of
helpless m sn, women and children dieY
Such an appeal did G Jlonel Burke, Gen
er4l Wright, Colonel Willis and Nc
Fisher make to Mr. Haggarty, but this
gentleman did not badge. He again ex
pressed his willingness to help the peo-
pie of Memphis, and thought that they
