from the Board of Aid, ] take a great
interest in the prosperity of Rugby and
have bought town lot there, and would
advise everyone who settles to farm in the
neighborhood to do so and to come in as
often as possible on Sundays and any
days he can find time and do all in his
power to encourage church-going and So
cial intercourse. think that anyone will
admit that if considerable number of
men would start in this way it would help
the growth of Rugby, and anyhow it is
very lamentable to see that the tactics of
most of the young men out here at pres
ent seem to be simply to wait and see how
those few who have pitched in and risked
their little all succeed, and not to risk a
penny of the capital which some of them
must surely have the command of. If
everyone in new place like this waits to
see how others succeed before risking
anything himself, | fail to see how we can
possibly hope to get on, and surely the
object of the starters of this colony was
not that the young educated Englishmen
who come out here should only employ
themselves as stable grooms, walters, hotel
porters and road hands, which, as far as
| can see, is the principal way in which
they are at present occupying themselves.
Yours, &C.,

Now that the further spread of the
fever has been, we trust, arrested; and
the various sufferers are progressing SO
favourably; it is an opportune moment
for considering the steps that were taken
to meet the difficulty, when it arose. 1t
will be matter of satisfaction to rela-
tions and friends at home, to know that
everything possible was done to save the
lives Of those who have fallen victims to
the disease.
AS soon as it became certain that
typhoid was amongst us the Board of Aid
gave orders that a house, which had been
fitted up as an annex to the Tabard, should
be Immediately turned into hospital
and every precaution taken to localizc
the disease.
Mr.. G. II. Wilson and Mr.. A. b. Earle
undertook the organization of a 0red
cross corps and the ready response to
their call enabled efficient, though mex
perlenced, nursing to be done until trained
nurses could be obtained from Cincinnati.
The first Physicians of Cincinnati were
telegraphed for, to consult with DR.. Kemp
and fully approved of the steps he had
taken: both Doctors Whitaker and I'm
lerhill, assuring the colonists that nobody
could have handled the cases more skill
fully, or in any better manner than DR..
Kemp had. We place this upon record
in view of the fact that the customary
malignant cavils have been circulated as

The Lower Carboniferous, therefore,
and underlying Devonian beds fall beyond
the limits of this paper and we pass to
the consideration of the block of Coal
Measures known as the Cumberland
Table-land, lying between the faulted es-
carpment of Walden's Ridge on the east
and the denuded edge of the Conglomer-
ate to the west; with general width of
fifty miles or so, and running obliquely
from N E to w all across the state.
A cross section of the northern region
of the field shows a general S. E. or S. Sc.
dip, amounting in the western region to
twenty or thirty feet in the mile, and
towards the middle to twice that figure.
Along the eastern face of the table-land
the dip is westerly, about forty feet to the
mile. The synclinal structure thus indi-
Gated is conformable, though less strongly
marked, with that recently worked out by
the Geological Survey of Kentucky for
the upper valley of the North Cumberland
river.
The southern portion of the field shows
undulating folds referable to the early
compression which has faulted the Tenn
essee valley. The deep and straight cut
of the Sequatchee valley-laying bare in
it's floor Lower Silurian rocks-has been
eroded along the broken crest of an anti
clinal, and around it's head lie the smooth
rolling mountains which mark the unbro-
ken head of the fold. But this anticlinal
appears not to have been prolonged into
the northern area now more specially
under consideration.
In ascending order, from the top of the
Carboniferous Limestone the following
beds are presented, the thicknesscs being
for the most part only rough approxima-
tions -

Railway. Probably an additional thick
ness of a few hundred feet comes in on
the inner ridges about the head of New

probably lies, and other upper seams may
here be brought in.

Whitaker and DR.. Underhill, were tele-
graphed for at the commencement of the
outbreak and assisted by DR.. Kemp, our
resident physician, made thorough and
careful examination of this question. The
result of their inquiries imdubitably point
ed to the well at the Tabard Hotel as the
root of the evil.
This is tubular well which was bored
last autumn, within fifteen feet of dug
well which had been carried to a depth
OF forty-two feet without striking water.
The tubular well at a depth of thirty-eight
feet struck chalybeate spring and it is
the water from this well which till lately
was used for drinking at the hotel. The
dug we'll had been converted into els
tern for collecting the water from the
mansard roof, and latterly, when this
failed, the water which was hauled from
White Oak stream, which was used to fill
the bedroom ewers. This water may
possibly have become charged with
germs from the cases Of typhoid higher
up White Oak and have percolated
through the sandstone into the tubular
well, and hence the mischief.
There is one other source from which
the latter may have come, and that is the
cesspool which is at a distance of some
seventy-fve feet from the two wells in
question. This should have been emptied
every day, but there seems to be little
occasion, left for nearly week. This
being the case, if any crack existed in the
cemented sides of the cesspool the matter
escaping from it might have hit some fs-
sure in the sandstone and found it's way
into the we'll. Be this as it may, we re-
peat that the mischief was clearly trace
able to the tubular well, and the fact that
many people drank constantly of it's water
without taking injury is no proof to the
contrary.
That the general water supply here is
perfectly pure, there seems to be not the
slightest doubt; and any impartial person
must admit that the climate is as near
perfection as is good for mortal beings.
10 prove that the present theory of the
cause Of the disease is no hasty assump-
ton, or Improved fact, it can be demon
strated in the most satisfactory manner
that of the 81 cases of typhoid that have
occurred, 19 have used the Hotel water
at, or about, the time of the outbreak.
1t is, of course, a great satisfaction to
all, that the disease can be localized in
this manner, and the cause so readily,
and easily, remedied. Strict orders have
been given by Mr.. Hastings Hughes that
the Hotel well is no longer to be used for
drinking purposes, and it is to be hoped
that the Manager of the Hotel will see
these orders strictly carried out.
Typhoid fever is so general now that all
educated people know that there is not
the slightest contagion with it and that
it is simply the result of bad water and
bad drainage. Now that the present
cause of the disease has been discovered
and removed, we may confidently look
forward to Rugby rapidly regainins it's
prestige as a health resort.

TO OUR READERS.

The unfortunate appearance of Typhoid
fever in our midst, and the fact that both
our assistants were stricken down by the
disease, has rendered the publication OF
the Ruybeian impossible until the present
date. Our readers will understand that
i'll Backwoods Settlement it is impossi-
bic to obtain printers at a moments
notice; and, owing to the widely spread
idea that typhoid is contagious, repeated
visits and inquiries in the large towns
have, us yet, failed to induce single
printer to take up his residence in our
rising colony. With these facts before
them we feel sure that we may confidently
claim the indulgence Of our subscribers.
The Rugbeian. (Rugby, Morgan Co., Tenn.) 1881-1882, 1881-09-10

The outbreak of Typhoid Fever that
has occurred in the Colony is naturally
occupying the attention of all our settlers
and has received great deal of comment
from the outside world as we'll.
Its cause and results are questions that
must necessarily materially affect the
future growth Of Rugby, and it will there
fore be advisable to trace the sickness, if
possible, land we believe it is possible) to
It's source.
There seems to be no doubt amongst
the medical men, that the Typhoid germ
must have made its appearance at the end
of July; and, from the peculiar nature of
the disease, there is no difficulty in loca-
ting the exact date. Given the exact date
the next thing is to discover the cause
Typhoid fever is peculiar disease III this
respect, for, the germ of the disease must
be actually taken into the system itself
before it can gerlninate, and produce the
disease Speaking broadly Typhoid fever
arises from the introduction of sew
age matter into the stomach The great
IqueStion to be decided therefore is whers
the disease was started? Two of the

THE JUDICIAL ELECTION.

Mr.. EDITOR Thinking that a few
lines. concerning the judicial election
would not be anliss, l am constrained to
write. Probably 10 greater interest was
ever developed over the election of a
local officer than was manifested last
week. The campaign, although confined
TO two candidates, was spirited one and
it represented some features which we
may proftably review at this time.
Several weeks ago the democrats met
| in convention and nominated Mr.. John
p. Wickert for the office of county judge.
Soon after the republicans placed in NOM
nation Mr.. r. d. Smart who was sue
cessful in the election. Which of the
two mentioned gentlemen is the better
qualified for the position, it is not my
intention to discuss. But I am free to
say that although the nomination of Mr..
Wickert was regular, square, and hon
est one in the convention, yet it was not
the free Will offering of the people nor of
the party. II was, as it seems to me,
chiefly brought about by party of GER
tain politicians that were touched and
struck by the Pickering beams of ma
tional issue. How well the issue took,
and how far the certain politicians sue
ceeded in the attempt to monopolize the
county offices and fill all the lucrative
places with their men without stopping
to consider the claims of worthier appli-
cants, is clear to US to-day. All fair
minded men have loudly protested
against such All undertaking at the mem
orable election-held on the 9th of April
1881. The thinking men have shown
their influence, and signified their earnest
disapproval of such an unwise course of
procedure, at the various polls through
out the county. Our Office loving friends
need no longer imagine that the county
is true to the party, just for the glorious
privilege of voting the democratic ticket
No, this is tempting the intelligent voter

mere act of voting; they demand and are
determined to have some recognition in
the official management OF county affairs.
The southern towns especially demand
theirs, and the redemption and future
safety Of the democratic party must be
comprised by better motives and prin-
ciples. Men who are strongly endorsed
by the most prominent citizens, on &C
count of their peculiar fitness for posi-
tons, must be placed in nomination. If
this is not done, Manitowoc county may
be considered republican. DAN.
