JAcKsoNv1LLE's FEVER BILLS.
a Comparison Between Them and
Those of Savannah in 1870.


Editor Morning Ne,0s: The money being
spent at Jacksonville per week looks enor-
nous to those who went through the same
scenes here in 1875 The bills passed for
payment by the auditing committee, &C
cording to telegraphic reports, for two
weeks ending Sept. go, were $25,0 900 and
S47, 900 respectively.
These two amounts aggregate nearly the
total amount expended in Savannah by it's
relief association during period of eleven
weeks, and they began their labors at an
earlier period, having an equipped organiza,
ton of twenty-five years. standing, and
consequently were ready to go into the field
the day after yellow fever was declared
epidemic, Aug. %.
The relief association of Savannah had
fifty-four members making a daily house TO
house visitation, but not under paw; a hos
p;tal to run, druggists monthly bills. horses,
buggies and servants for volunteer doctors,
large depot of supplies for the needy, with
its corps of clerks and porters, several
places about the city where soup and bread
were distributed free, its numer-
GUS nurses to handle and pay, yet the total
amount expended during the eleven weeks
amounted, in round figures, to ISL 200. The
relief association of Jacksonville will spend
several times that amount at the rate they
are going; and yet, OWING to a merciful
Providence and a smaller population, the
destroying angel will claim as its victims,
from the present outlook, ABOUT one-third
as many people as it did in Savannah during
the epidemic of 1876. AN OBSERVER.

AN APPEAL TO DEMOCRATS.
They Are Expected to Do Their Duty
Tomorrow.

They Are Expected to Do Their Duty
Tomorrow.
To the Democrats of Chatham County:
AT the election to be held on Oct. 3, your
nominees for the Lower House of the legis-
lature will encounter opposition. That
party which, within the memory of each of
you, has been the exponent OF the most
vicious theories of government and, in their
application, has inflicted on this community
disorder and humiliation, is now urging a
delegation for the legislature. Your execu-
tive committee has been informed that
there will be in combination with this effort
certain disaffected members of your own
party. To guard against all danger of
surprise l call upon each democratic
voter to cast his ballot for tho nomi-
nees of the Democratic party, and upon each
democrat, whether voter or not, to give
some portion of his time and influence to
tho effort to poll the full strength of our
organization. Let US see to it that neither
the ayowed hostility of our enemies or the
secret assaults of the scratcher meet with
success. An enthusiastic and determined
canvass will ensure the discontinue of the
one, aud a careful inspection of your ticket
will foil the other. Let each democrat
work as though tine result depended upon
his individual effort This we owe to the
great party under whose principles we fight; ;
To- the distinguished citizens whom wo have
placed in the race, and to our own pride and
interest. WALTER g. CHARLTON,
Chairman Democratic Party, Chatham
County.

old friend who was visiting the meetings

Next day, when the gray light was davning

as long as could. The old Friend came and
said, Thee seems 70 like it; I'm going further,

the first revelation to me of what poetry
