WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-Surgeon Cen
eral Hamilton has received the following
telegram from j. j. Daniel, president of the
board of health of Jacksonville:
In the name of our people and hum anity we
protest against the order for the detention of
ell refugees from our city and state at the refu-
gee camp. 1t would be better for us to keep
our women and children here rather than sub

DR.. Hamilton sent the following dispatch
in reply:

the character of the camp, which is III charge
of one of the most humane officers in the

in one of the healthest places in Florida, in the
pine woods aud on a river bluff. Ii was origin
ally intended by railroad as a picnic grounds,
and was taken by DR.. Gllteras as the best place
for his camp. He was some days ago directed
to have some tents set apart quarter of a

New York and Liverpool Under these
rules lute bagglng has to be used. OF
course any factor o. purchaser may buy
cotton in any shape he pleaSes, but before
shipping it he must have it come within the
rules and either the buyer or planter must
eventually pay the cost of the bagging.
Farmers, who pack their cotton in pine
boards, as indicated in the Atlanta dispatch,
wlll probably find that the piueboard pack
ing will eventually cost them more than
ordinary bagging. The only remedy for
the cotton planter seems TO be tho passage
by congress of an act putting iute hagging
on the free list, and unless this is done at
once the cotton planters of the south will
suffer heavy losses
KING COTTON IN ROYAL RAIMENT
AUGUSTA. GA. Aug. SIR. P. and G.
f. Stb!ey, cotton factors, received bale of
cotton to-day, which, when placed before
their door, attracted much attention 1t
was from j. 7. Harris of Waterloo, 5. c.,
and was covered with planks, rope and
wire, Each plank bore legandS against the
cotton bagging trust-"Death to mo-
nopoly," Down withthe tyrannical trust"
and others of like kind. President Estes
of the King mill offered one-tOurth of a
cent over the classification for the net
weight.
Cotton circles here are jubilant over the
showing made by the exchange. The re-
ceipts for the year are 1917 9l0 bales, an in
crease OF 81, ,454 bales over the season of
1887. These figures, however, do not in
cIude 500 bales which are consumed by
the Graniteville mill, acros the river.
The mills here consumed $4,000 bales of
cotton during the pas5 year, and will, by
the increased capacity of the King and
Enterprise mills, take $1,000 the coming
wear.

CHATTAHoocHEE, FLA, Aug. 31.-An
Indian from South Florida came to this
place few days ago and was Immediately
informed by the health officers that he
would have to go. He demonstrated with
them, and told pitiful tale of suffering by
being forced from one place to another
without cent in his pockets, but the Off
GERS were firm, and told him that he would
have to go somewhere else. He replied by
SAYING that he was told that very same
thing everywhere he went, and finally he
refused point blank to obey the health
officers Things began to look serious and
the Indian was about to be forcibly
elected from town, but he saw the
turn of affairs, and succumbed. first
asking the officers for the privilege of tax
ing up personal collection, which as i'm
mediately granted. The Indian then pro-
ceeded to better his pecuuiary condition by
asking every man in town for cents-only
cents Everybody quietly clipped in a
nickel, and when he got through taking up
his collection he bad nearly cigar box full
of nic<els and dimes-about $50 in all. He
then left for the west with broad grin on
his yellow countenance.

ST. AUGUSTINE, FLA, Aug. 31.-The
quarantine regulations are becoming more
stringent every day. The latest rule Of the
board of health prohibits people living out
side of the city limits from coming inside
the quarantine lines. This causes much
dissati. faction among the country people
who wish to trade and sell produce in town,
and causes them no little inconv enlence
For the past three DAYS milkmen, butchers
and truck venders have not been able TO get
into town, and the board of
health is receiving its share of the
blame. The expense of keeping up
the present quarantine is $3.50 day, but as
long as it is effective the taxpayers don't
object. the merchants are elated over the
prospect of direct steamship line between
here and New York. as it will enable them
to get goods in much less time than by the
routes now open. The health of the city re-

HOWARD, OAK, Aug 31.-Great excite

mixed with sand thrown from an excaya-

aud pronounced the fld very promising
one. From the quality obtained an

filed with water TO a depth of 130 feet.
The find seems to be under the surface of
the main street of the town.
