doing well.
The county health officer at Madison
wired DIR. Porter last night that suspicious
death was reported at Ellaville, and asked
him to send an expert up there to make an
autopsy. DIR. Porter corresponded with Sur
geon Hutton at Camp Perry and arranged
to send a surgeon from there. but
at the last moment Surgeon Hutton
wired Dr. Porter that the local
physician at Ellaville denied that the
death was suspicious and refused to have
post mortem performed. DIR. Porter then
had nothing further to do save to notify
DIR. Hausman of Madison of the Ellaville
doctors dictum and allow him to fight 1t
out alone. If there was some central au-
thority like state board of health, this
fuss and feathers" could all be avoided.

ATLANTAs DENIAL.
ATLANTA, Nov. 1.-THE statement from
jacksonville, Fla, that excursion trains
would be all wed to pass through Macon
and Augusta but that Atlanta
has not opened her gates, is un-

gates, and consequently has no occasion to
open them. Atlanta has been full of refugee
FIoridians all summer, and the only precau-
tlon she ever took was to insist that sick
persons should be kept in the hospitals.
