=
On the oath of January last the New
! York Times contained an editorial, pub
| lished also in the Savannah MORNING
/ NEWS of the 9th inst, taking the ground
that the large mortality in Memphis is due
to the sewers, and that while these sew
ers have been well built under skilled
supervision and connected with the most
approved house appliances, their intro
ductiOn has been followed by an apparent
" consequent increase of the ratio of NOR
tally, and in particular that the deaths
from dysentery have doubled. and those
from diphtheria have more than quad
rupled.
The publication in a leading New York
daily of an editorial based SO largely on
erroneous information and vivid imagi-
nation as this is, is unfortunate. In this
! particular case the high character of the
! journal in which these statements APP
peared secured for them recognition
they did not deserve, and in several in
| stances within our knowledge they have
been quoted and used as arguments
against the adoption of a sewerage sys-
TEN in communities where this question
was under consideration. The author of
this paper evidently could not have seen
any Vi luC annual SldblbtlCh vi
Memphis. He did not know whether
diphtheria prevailed there or not; he did
not know who superintendent the con-
struction of the sewers, but he proceeded,
out of the depths of his inner conscious
ness, to inform the public on all these
points,
The facts are that the first part of the
Memphis sewerage was constructed under
the supervision of Colonel Warning and on
his plan, Major Benyaurd having had
nothing to do with it, and that the high
mortality of Memphis is due to impure
water, damp cellars and easements, and
to the peculiarities of its negro popula-
ton. An analysis of the mortality sta
tistics of the last eight years shows that
there has been no increase in the mortality
rate in Memphis which can be
charged to the sewerage. The sew
ers were constructed in 1S80-S1,
and when we consider the increase in
population occurring during these eight
years, the mortality from the principal
zymotic diseases has not increased, There
was an epidemic of diphtheria in 1881,
but that this was not due to the sewers is
shown by the fact that in 1882 the NOR
tality from this cause was less than it
was in 1877 or 1873.
The causes of high mortality in Memphis
have been shown by DIR. Thornton to be
connected chiefly with the negro popu-
lation.

press. In Some respects the newspapers
there are the best IN Georgia, But, for
some cause, know not what, the papers
down that way do not trumpet the fame
of Savannah's glory sufficiently. The
many fine points of Atlanta, for instance,
are promptly heralded by her wide awake
press. aud the outer world keeps posted
about every step in her grand march. Not
so with Savannah. shs is not advertised
half enough. Her press is too backward
in sounding her praises. There is not
enough hOrn-blOwing. They seem to
think down that way that it isn't modest
