enjoining Of an election is something
unheard of, there is no precedent for
such an action" If the legal lumi-
nary of the State and Farm will take
the trouble to investigate little he
will find that the ignorance in this
matter lies nearer home. Winches-
ter had precisely the same experience
that Sparta has gone through. After
one or two unsuccessful attempts to
re-incorporate that town, zigzag
line was run, leaving out those who
opposed the charter, precisely as has
been done at Sparta, and day was
fixed for an election. The officials
were enjoined from holding this cleo
ton, and the injunction was sustain
ed by the Supreme Court of Tennes-
see. We have no interest whatever
in the question at issue between the
residents of Sparta, but think the
State and Farm has been a little i'm
prudent in its charges against Judge
Smallman. Laws are intended to
protect and benefit all citizens alike.
Whatever advantages or disadvan-
tages might result from a re-incor-
poration of Sparta would affect all
citizens within given radius of the
courthouse or any other common CEN
ter alike, and common justice would
dictate that all voters within such ra-
dius should have a voice in the mat
ter of corporation or no corporation.
If, as the State and Farm claims, all
the law is against the action of Judge
Smallman, and he "arrogated to him
self powers not granted by the laws"
why did not the officials proceed
with the election, regardless of his
writ?

The Senate Tariff Bill and the Tobac-
CO Tax.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-Now
that the Senate tariff bill is about to
make its appearance, and is said to be
so radically different from the House
bill that there is no prospect of the
adoption of either measure by both
branches of Congress, it is not i'm
probable that the bill removing the
tobacco tax may be pushed through
the House soon and sent to the
Senate with an invitation that it be
passed and an adjournment had.
The members of the House who have
close districts are getting very
anxious to get home. 1t looks now
very much as though there might be
a removal of the tobacco tax by some
process before adjournment.

Mrs. Calhoun are stricken. The two

left who could get away by convey

leaving. While many anticipate a
repetition of the visitation of 1878,
yet there are others who do not take
so gloomy a view, and hope by so
many leaving to control the fever"
JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Sept. % -
Eight long weeks have passed since
the first case ofyelloW fever, that of
Mccormick, was developed at the
Grand Union Hotel. Tonight the
official records show a total of LIPS
cases and 2O2 deaths, The daily list
of cases and deaths during the past
ten days have been fearful in a city
of the size of Jacksonville, with two
thirds of its people absent. Today
the record Of new cases was again
broken. The score reached the fig
ures 1853. OF these 1903 were colored
people who are being freely reported.
1t iSpow almost certain that many
hundred colored people have had

JACKSONVILLE. FLA, Sept. 25.-
The situation here tonight is practi-

the new cases are developing very
rapidly, the type of the disease APP

our equinoctial storms; and while
many people are very sick, the death
rate continues low.
FAVORABLE REPORTS.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-Surgeon-
general Hamilton tonight received
numerous kilograms from the yellow
fever section bringing favorable re-
ports. Other dispatches have arrived
from Fernandina acknowledging
fever there, and that nurses had been
asked for from Jacksonville. The
surgeon-general believes the fever is
on the decline, and will slowly die
away.
JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Sept. 3d.
The official bulletin for the twenty
four hours ending at p. m. today
reports 143 new cases, of which IS are
colored people, deaths 4; total cases

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Sept. 3d.

Of cases among the whites and the
small death rate give hope that the
epidemic is beginning to break up.
Advices from Fernandina report that
there have been over 200 cases of
yellow fever there, in a population Of
5000, and 10 deaths. The fever is
not spreading at any other points in
this state so far as can be ascertained
by careful inquiry. 1t is reported

YELLOW FEVER.
A Gloomy Week at Jacksonville, and
Spread of the Scourge to Other
Towns.

The record of the yellow fever cpl
demic was broken again on last Sat
urday by 1853 reported new cases at
Jacksonville, Florida. 1t is said that
Jacksonville has had hundreds of
cases among the negroes which have
never been reported.
The disease appeared at Jackson,
Miss, on Thursday of last week, and
a number of cases developed at De-
catur, Ala, on the same day. This
created panic at Memphis, and four
thousand people fled from the city in
twenty-four hours.
Very rigid guarantees against the
infected districts have been establish
ed by various cities and towns all
over the South, in consequence of
which all kinds OF business is more
or less suspended.
The various dispatches following,
from our daily exchanges, give some
idea of the situation:
AT DECATUR.
MONTGOMERY, ALA, Sept. 21.-
Decatur is now almost depopulated,
and nearly every door is closed
against the fleeing people. They
have left town in every imaginable
way, and some have walked miles
to board a train, only to find that
they could enter none of the cities and
towns lying near them. 1t now looks
as ifthe fever took a rest after the
death of Spencer, the first victim,
only to dash down again on the ill
fated place with redoubled force,
The worst is yet to come. Commu-
nication with Decatur after nightfall
is entirely cut off, as both the railroad
and Western Union telegraph offices
close at o'clock.

Orr, and Tim Johnson. They are all

mene If counties all over the State

of more service to the State than it is.
