\ project is on foot, or at least
there is some talk, of organizing d To-
cal railroad company for the purpose
of extending q line to q connection
with the Manitoba. The Sioux City
and sNorthern people are going right
ahead with their project Of running z
line east of us, and the Manitoba folk
will doubtless extend their YanktOn
line the coming summer, thus cutting
us off on the west. With railroads to
the right, left and front, the people of
CANTON have reason to feel q little
nervous, and unless q movement of
some sort is set on foot in the near
future we might as we'll settle down
to the one road idea, and hibernate.
AS nothing SO far advanced seems to
strike favorably the average CANTON
TIE, we would suggest the formation
Of local company, composed Of lead
ing business men, whose duty it shall
be to look after the best interests of
the city and cast about for a new con-
nectior by rail. a tax might be voted
at the approaching city election, as a
starter, and the company would start
in with a backing that would ensure
the success of the enterprise.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Sept. 25.-The situa-
tion of the yellow fever refugees here to-
day shows little change.
Benjamin Grant, from Decatur, has a
mild type of the disease, and is being cared
for at the Eruptive hospital. Many are
leaving for northern points as fast as their
baggage is fumigated and turned over to
them. A fund is being raised for those In
need, and concert will be given for their
benefit.
The following proclamation was issued
tonight in response to the appeal of the
Illinois Central Railroad Company to Gov.
Buckner for relief:
WHEREAS, 1t has come to the knowledge of
this board that the local authorities in various
towns and counties in this state have estab
lished quarantines without the consent of this
board. necessary to make such quarantine legal
or effective; and
WHEREAS This board has placed an inspec
tion quarantine service along the entire south
ern border of the state which will furnish ade
quate protection against any danger from in
fection from yellow fever, If any possible dan
ger exists at this late season of the year. Now,
therefore, be it known, that by virtue of the
authority vested upon us by the law in the
supervision of local boards OF health and of the
quarantine regulations of the state, all such
local quarantines are hereby revoked and
raised, except that of Hickman, which is not ON
the line of an inspected road. By order of the
board.

of the state the yellow fever excitement
runs so high that all other things sink into
insignifcance compared to it. A great deal
of anxiety and alarm was felt when the
fever broke out at Gainesville, for it was
supposed the Ocala boys had been equally
exposed on their way to or from Fernan-
dina, and the place has been watched with
a great deal of interest, but now it is hoped
that all danger from that source Is over.
The town council has prohibited all travel
by rail to and from this town for the pres
ent, and twelve or fifteen quarantine off1Car,
are keeping a sharp lookout to prevent
strangers from visiting the town.

NO NEW CASES AT JACKSON.
The City Surrounded by Cordon-No
Additional Deaths

JACKSON, MISS, Sept. 25.-No deaths or
new cases of yellow fever have been re-
ported here since Sunday morning. The
health authorities are endeavoring to estab-
lish refuge camp near the city, and the
Howard Association will furnish supplies
only to such as go there.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lee and Messrs. DAILY and
Mccoy are critically i'll.
According to the state board of health
census there are 2, ,220 people within the
quarantine limits. or these 427 are whites.
Only 404 of the whole 1920 have had the
fever, leaving 1876 who are liable to have
it. Government tents and cots having
been received, a refugee camp will
be established about six miles from
the city, and efforts will be made
to move all except fever exempts out to it
tomorrow. A great deal of suffering is
reported, both in and outside of the local
quarantine. At a meeting to-day of Col
Clark, superintendent Of the Illinois Cen
tral railroad, with the town authorities of
Holly Springs, Supt. Clark requested per-
mission to use the switches at that point
for southbound trains to stand on
while the northbound were passing
This request was refused, and
the authorities declared that Capt. Mann,
who has been on the road south Of Holly
Spring, should not stop at that place. At
other towns on the road the people are
equally unreasonable. The probabilities are
that the Illinois Central will discontinue all
local freight trains.

Four new cases have been reported since noon
yesterday: Oils Wright. an engineer on the

colored, and are now better prepared to handle
the disease than heretofore.

There is still no chance of communication to

leave here, and what is thrown off is not opened
save letters for parties who are personally
known to Acting Postmaster Thomas, the post
master having fed for his life. Health Officer

q. +. Buckert, refugee from Decatur, has vel
low fever at Culman. but is not positive of a

Ceived only S45 in money since yesterday and
it is believed call will soon have TO be made on
the general public.
TIE NUMBER IN TOWN.
Ths number of persons remaining In Decatur
has been variousiy estimated from lS0 to 80
but close observation shows that not less than
600 or 700 still remain here, and most of them
are or soon will be- in destitute condition. as no
work of any kind is going on, and they will have
to be cared for out OF the general fund of the
board of relief The city medical board

evening to elect a medical director The
physicians are making no charges for their
services, and are working as heroically as
though they expected to receive triple pay.
They are all well and in fi1e spirits. and know
not the meaning of fear, although several Of
them are from northern states and never saw a
case of yellow fever until the scourge broke out
