AFTER THE ELECTION.
Now that the election is over, the fever
question comes home with redoubled force
There are scores of people here who are
literally tired out by their work in the cpl
demic and who, if they could get some
ha ind for hot baa l. !,
Some have been sick, and many others not
They all feel that they need the rest, but at
the same time the enforced ten days de-
tention at Camp Perry is terror to
them, for many have only so many
days to remain off, and to lose ten
of them would prove very disagreeable.
Efforts have been made to have some of the
towns in upper Georgia allow locked cars to
come there, so that the people could thus
get out, and thence take the first train
north. Most of the people here who desire
to get out would go to New York or Boston,
or other extreme northern points, so that
there would be hardly any danger of infec-
ton. But Atlanta and Augusta will not
allow any such arrangement, and the sur
geon general says that their permission
must be had first.
AN APPEAL TO DIR. HAMILTON.
Tuesday DR.. j. Y. Porter wired the sur
geon general as follows:
would suggest that you arrange for con-
valescent and other persons who have escaped
the fever so far and who wish to go north with
out stOppage to points where frost has already
appeared this year, to do so without quarantine
detention at Camp Perry, with the restriction Of
dslnfection and fumigation of baggage and
personal wearing apparal,-the baggage at
LaVilla junction and the wearing apparel at
Camp Perry.
To this the following reply came on
Wednesday:
WASHINGTON, Nov :. tsSs.-The surgeon
general desires me to say that without the con
sent of the local boards of health he cannot ar
range for the passage except under the regula-
tions now in force, which require short proba-
Passed Assistant Surgeon.
Yesterday DR.. Porter received the follow
ing query from the surgeon generals Of
flee in Washington:
Name the places where the convalescents
wish to go. By order OF the surgeon general.

late last night:

THE FUMIGATIoN PROBLEM.
ITO fumigate and how to fumigate" is
now the burning question: remarked a
prominent citizen this afternoon to the
NEWS correspondent as the two stood under
asheter waiting for the rain to let up.
III tell you n scheme which | heard DIR.
Neal Mitchell is going TO work, and one
which | will follow" continued the speaker,
and it is this Just as soon as we have
the tirst severe frost am going to hire a
trustworthy Waterman and place him to
guard my house that night and then shall
throw open every window and door and put
my bedding that think in any way may
nave become infected near the windows so
mat the frost can thoroughly penetrate it.
snal on the next day boil all my sheets,
blankets and quilts, and then sprinkle them
with corrosive sublimate, and then when
aAQtherfr frost comes do this same thing again,
and feel then certain that my family will
oe able TO come back and use that bedding
without any danger of contracting the
disease.
