health of this city will meet tomorrow to
consider the situation ct Memphis. The
following explains itself: "Memphis, july
ITO Hon. E. D. Stanford, president T.,
q N. and G. S. road. If the yellow fever be-
comes epidemic it will be necessary to send
the poor out of town. What will your road
do toward helping us out. We cannot af-
ford to pay full rates, but we are willing to
do what we can. Please make as low rates
as possible and authorize your ticket agent
to honor my order"
(Signed) DIR. L. PORTER.
PRESIDENT sTANFoRD's RESPONSE.
LOUISVILLE, July 18.-To D. L. Porter,
Memphis: In reply to your telegram I
would say in the event it becomes necessary
to remove the poor from the city of Mem
phis, will make half rate for them on
our road to points in Tennessee. It would
seem to me better that they be in the coun-
try, where they can obtain employment, in
stead of la rye cities where they would prob
ably have to remain idle and pay exorbitant-
ly for all the necessaries of life, thereby caus-
ing them, possibly, great suffering.
(Signed) E. D. STANFORD.
