The clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1883-1888, 1886-09-22

courage the right and under no circum-
stances would shield the truth, We care
not to be made the martyrs OF any man
or mems pet schemes.
Resolved, That we call attention OF the
good people of this entire section to the re-
port of Drs Mabip, Lemon, Peiaez, Al
drieh, of Biloxi, Dr. A p. Champlin, Bay
St.Louis, DIR. Harry, Handsboro, DR.. For
mento. New Orleans, Dr. Godfrey, Lou
isYille, and Dr. Murray, Ship Island, TO
attest TO the truthfulness of our state
ment tha. no sign or trace of yellow
fever has been found in our poor, unfOr-
tunate, condemned town, always noted
for it's health and to-day compares favor
ably with the most favored spot on
Gods green earth.
Resolved, That the other towns on the
Coast may not be inflicted with visit
from the gentlemen in search of germs,
especially when they figure in the imagi-
nation, and reason gives way TO preju-
dice as was our case.
Resolved, That the citizens of Ocean
Springs, to whom we extended the hand
of fellowship in the memorable year of
1878 are entitled to the disgust and con
tempt of Biloxi, and their meritorious
shotgun brigade will not soon be for
gotten by the men, women and children
of their own county who were forced
from their fresides and home upon the
cold charities Of the world for plying
their avocations in Biloxi prior and a
few days after the establishment of that
infamous order.
Resolved, That the working people
of Biloxi, in being deprived of many
days work by the refusal of the manly
element of Ocean Springs in permitting
fishing upon the shores of Jackson coun-
ty, and cutting off all base of supplies,
thereby shutting down the factories,
will ever bear IN mind this kind and
humane treatment, and hope no good
will ever come to the doors of this
wrong.
Resolved, That the thanks of this
community be extended to Drs. Lemon,
Maybin, Pelaez, Aldrieh, OF Biloxi, DIR.
Harry, of Handsboro, DIR. Champlin, of
Bay st. Louis, DR.. formento, of New
Orleans, DR.. Godfrey, of Louisville, and
DIR. Murray, of Ship Island, for the in
terest taken in behalf of a wronged
community, and for the earnest attention
shown in establishing the truth as TO
the sickness reported in Biloxi.
Resolved, That the Mississippi State
Board of Health, in ignoring the opinion
of resident physicians and giving Gre
dence to that of the visiting gentlemen,
cast sluf upon the character of their
profession and assisted thereby in giving
color to the false report, and instead OF
assisting US as in duty bound lent help
ing hand to the cruel and unmistakable
outrage and we desire to call the attention
of the citizens of the whole State to this
unprofessional and uniustifable wrong
perpetrated upon the citizens of this
town, with the hope that such actions in
the future may not be added to the
glory of our State Board of Health.
Resolved, That the report of DR.. Wat
kins, of New Orleans, would add mate
rial testimony to the whole subject if
the public could get the benefit of said
report, and as he remained here some
days and presumably in public capaei-
ty it seems bis information belongs to
the citizens of Louisiana as a duty and
to the citizens of Biloxi as an act of
justice.
Resolved, That the papers of the
South, North, East and West publish
these resolutions and accept in payment
the thanks of an injured community.
