| the physician alluded to the remarkable
fact that in a recent excavation at Jerus
alem one OF the sewers used by the
at the depth of 81 feet, and
found as rank and poisonous as
when it was in use. 5. A perfect
system OF city sewerage. With these pre-
cautions, in times of fever epidemic ia cities
and countries with which Savannah had
intercommunication, an intelligent quaran-
tine system is all that Is required,
and If q case of fever was brought here,
even if it spread. there would be little
trouble to control il.
MALARIA OUT OF THE WAY.
DO You mean to say that sanitation re n
ders yellow fever less Malignant
The doctor replied that he meant that
malaria would be prevented By the methods
above enumerated, and that danger re-
moved, it would leave physicians free to
comba yellow fever, which would then yield
readily 20 treatment. IL is not as fatal as
malarial fever, he added. IL requires but
little medicine anAgood nursing. In fact,
there are some patients who recover from
yellow fever without any medicine,
whereas, malarial feuer is fatal without the
use of specific, such as quinine or Peru
Wan bark. Where yellow fever is com
pljcated by the presence Of malaria in the
systen, it is m9re difficult to treat and
harder to manage The specific must be
used for the malaria, and that is often too
strong on the stomach of yellow fever pa
tient, for it doeI not admit Of strong treat
ment, in that malarial fever requires a
great deal of medicine, yellow fever very
little Remove the cause which produces
malaria, and you may isolate this yellow
fever patient and avoid an epidemic,
LEVELS ALL RANKS.
The doctor went on to say that in yell
low fever zone the poison is taken in equally
by all 1t will work itself out by perspira-
ton, throug1 the kidneys and through the
bowels. Those who are out in the night
air will of course absorb more of the poison
As long as the person does not take sudden
cold, or over exert them elves, the poison
it is absorbed, but when either OF the three
mulates, and the fever prostrates the pa
tient. Tho air dissipates it,
The doctor alluded to the fact tbao in 1876
there was no yellow fever at White Bluff
Residents there drove into TIE city in t, @
morning, transacted their business during
the day, and drove out before nightfall
without carrying t e infection TO their
homes. The idea conveyed by the doctor
evidently was that the poison was dissipate1
by day and accumulated III the fever zone
at night, and was absorbed by those who re-
manned in the city. bis idea also is. that
once remove the causes which produce ma
laria and the yellow fever can easily be
kept under control, and he thinks there is
10 reason why it should not be done.

Didn't Want No Interferin'. i"

William Sails, colnred youth, was in
Justice Endres' court yesterday for carry

old colored man, was the prosecutor. He
stated that he and his wife were engaged in
friendly fracas" few nights ago, and
that Sails interfered and drew revolver
and threatened to shoot LeFeat if he per-
sisted in abusing his wife. This ''riled" the
old husband and selzing Il lamp he threw it
at the young peace-Inaker, barely missing
his head. He was very indignant in court
and said his wife was his-his to do with
her as he choose. She had "vilated his
countnensn and he was "edicatnin" her.
The woman had not fully recovered from
the treatment he prescribed for her aud
she refused to testify against Sails For
lack of proof to convict Sails was dismissed
Immediately upon being discharged he
swore out peace warrant against LelFeat,
and they were both put under bond to keep
the peace

The Best Time to Buy valuables.

This is the dull season of the year. This
information is not exclusive or from inspi-
ration. Trade is pretty well as far as it
goes-but it doesn't go far. The purchasing
power OF dollar now is something surpris-
ing, simply because there are more dollars
than trade. 10 word, we are now inclined
TO give a very large dollars worth for 100
cents just to keep things moving. Within
the pas few months we have added TO our
stock il various ways, new ideas, new con-
ceits new trick1 and quips in jewelry, and
50 on. We've got TO keep up, you know,
with the strides Of inventive and artistic
excellence. Our stock is worth looking
over, and, as minated, we 1giH sell rerv
close to move some Of it, This ia good
time 10 renew household articles. Solid
Silver table ware, superb plated ware,
ornamental goods For personal use or
adjournment we offer line par excellence 60
Ladies' Hle Gold, Silver and Diamond
Jewelry, Ladies' Watches, Chairs and
Charms, Gents Watches ana Jeweiry, etc.
All of these articles can be bought cheaper
now than when trade gets brisker. Some

presents you intend TO give now. They
will keep, and you will save money.

in Atlanta that had been checked from
Charleston, and yesterday the same trunk,
looking as good as new and otherwise
happy, went through the baggage room.

The yellow fever and the early cotton
crop are making the telegraph operators
rush. There has been larger increase in
business the past month than there has been
in several years." said Manager Merrihew
yesterday. I'm fact, don't believe there
has ever been before such an increase here.
Certainly not since my connection with this
office, which began about eight years ago.
For the month of August there was an
increase of 1873 messages over the same
month last season, and August is not gem
orally a busy month either. This Office
handled here during that month about 73,-
600 messages, and it kept us moving all the
time. l have put on three new men, and IL
the business continues to increase, as no
doubt it will, as many more will be put on. y
ITO what do you attribute the rushm
yellow fever and the early cotton crop.
From about the 9Th of the month we have
had all tho fever fuel we wanted, and
great deal we did not want. The rush
necessitated an additional force of opera
tors, which was put on at once. The mes
