Friday, September FL, 1888.

w- Would it not be we'll for our
Democratic contemporaries to re-publish
Gov. Jarvis letter from Brazil, which ap'
peared 10 the DEMOCRAT few weeks
ago. Much speech making may do some
good, but not many changes of votes
occur from stump.speaking. AS GOV.
Jarvis says, aoork is necessary-see that
Democrats go to the polls, and those who
can't walk must have arrangements to
ride. Talk to your neighbors personally
about the Importance OF voting in
November and voting tor Cleveland and
Fowle. Dragging will be more in order
after the election than at present. Many
IN an has been defeated by the over con-
|idence of his friends. The prospects,
however, for Fowle and Cleveland are
3irst rate.

STORMS, FLOODS, YELLOW FEVER, &C.
During the past two or three weeks many
portions of the South have been in great
distress. In this State much damage to
crops has been done by heavy rains and
high waters-the damage occurring main
ly in the Eastern, Central and Piedmont
sections as far west as Morganton. Rivers
and creeks overAowed, and all crops in
low-lands about ruined. Cotton that was
open or opening was rendered almost
| worthless. The destruction along the
Roanoke and Cape Fear Rivers has been
greater than in any other part of the
State. The Catawba River, at certain
points, overhowed its banks, and destroy
ed crops of cotton, corn and tobacco.
In South Carolina and Georgia the de-
struction was greater than in this State.
The city of Augusta alone was damage
to the amount of million of dollars, and
plantations in both States suffered greatly.
Then yellow fever has prevailed at J Jack
sonviIle and McClenny, Florida, in it's
most virulent lorm-about 900 cases oc-
curing at Jacksonville, an d $50 deaths.
Hendersonville, N. c., invited Florida
refugees to take shelter in their mountain
town, and about 200 went to that place;
but, unfortunately, soon after the arrival
of the refugees at Hendersonville, the fever
broke out among them, but not among
the citizens of that section. 1t is scarcely
possible for the disease to spread in a
mountainous climate, though the people
up there are beginning to feel uneasy.
Other towns and cities do not want any
visitors from Hendersonvile or from
Florida, at present.
Sufficient unto the day is the evil
thereof" and after the waters run off and
sunshine prevails, we hope all may fud
that they are not as badly injured as is
now supposed.

The Yellow Fever.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Sept. l9.-Up to
noon to-day thirty-fve new cases and six
deaths from yellow fever were reported.
No official reports of new cases were made
to the Board of Health this morning.
Three deaths were officially reported up
to noon, but one was described as from
congestion.
The situation at Gainesville, Fernando
ma, Starke and st. Augustine is being in
vestigated. 1t is bitterly denied that
there is fever at the three latter places.
There is no fever at Ocala. The Ocala
rifles, who served in the Fernandina riots,
are quarantined near Ocala, and no sick.
ness is reported among them. A dispatch
from Gainesville to the Times Union at
noon, said: "No new cases. One death
occurred Monday. The sick are all get
ting better. The excitement is subsiding.
Two-thirds of the people have left town.
They can leave freely via Waycross until
Thursday, when the Surgeon General will
close that avenue up."
HENDERsoNvILLE, N. c., Sept. lS.-No
new cases of fever since Friday morning.
VIM. A. Page died to-day. All patients
convalescent. One discharged; another
will be tomorrow. No panic. Everybody
in good spirits. Great indignation against
lying correspondents. D.
ATLANTA, Sept. ls.-A train load OF
Florida refugees reached this city to-day.
They were all from Gainesville, Fla, and
all had health certificates. Nine remained
in Atlanta and others went on North.
B A Jacksonville letter in the At.
lanta Constitution says:
"When city becomes filthy, whether
North or South, the atmosphere is poi.
soned aud disease becomes epidemic, aud
Jacksonville was filthy. Why, it took 20
men and half dozen carts TO clear the
filth from merchants residence, who had
hurriedly fed and left his store at the
first mention of the epidemic. Many
places in the city emitted stencil strong
enough to knock horse down, and along
the wharves, where the sewers emptied
into the river, right at the land, the smells
were various as well as villainous. So it's
foolieh to say that the Board of Health is
not responsible" - -
az The people of Florida are indeed
having dreadful time of it. The disease
is spreading in the State, aud refugees are
carrying death into other sections. There
is good reason to suppose that the yellow
fever will become epidemic at Decatur
Ala. The case of Prof. Proctor shows
you may die Of yellow fever without be-
ing in known Infected region, while the
dead landlord at Decatur tells the folly
of sleeping with we'll fugitive from in
fected Jacksonville. All possible help
should be afforded the Floridians.

CONGRESS. is still in session
to the great annoyance of members who
want TO be at home looking after their po-
litical prospects. It is said an effort is
being made to get an adjournment about
the lst of October.
The Tariff bill passed by the House has
never been discussed or considered in the
Senate, because the Republicans say they
will introduce new bill of their own;
which they have not done up to this time
There is, however, no probability OF Tar
iff measure OF any sort being passed by
this Congress- The Democrats have gone
as far as they eau, and the responsibility
must be left with the Republicans.
Both Houses have passed bill to pre-
vent the further immigration of Chinese
into this country. II some other nations,
besides China, were included in the Bill,
it would do good.
AS the Fishery business between Can
ada and the U UDited States is in an unsettled
and uncertain condition in consequence of

Senators, fears are entertained that trouble
may occur between Great Britain and this
country. Hence, on Monday, Mr. Sher-
man in the Senate, introduced a resolution
directing the Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions to inquire into the relations of the
United States with Great Britain and
Canada, and report at the next session of
Congress such measures as are expedient
to promote friendly commercial and politi-
cal intercourse, the Committee to have
leave to sit during the recess Of Congress.
On the same day, Mr. Hoar offered a
resolution instructing the Finance Com
mittee to inquire as to cotton bagging
trusts and what legislation is necessary to
cou nteract it.
On Wednesday, in the Senate, Mr.
Edmunds offered joint resolution appro-
priating 100000 TOR the relief OF yellow
fever sufferers, which, after brief remark ks,
was passed.

.W- 1t will be seen by official an
houucement, that the joint discussions
between Judge Fowle and Col. Dockery
will be discontinued after the 22d inst. at
EMoorssvile. Col. Dockery wanted to
make out list of joint appointments at
places in the Western part of the State
where Judge Fowle had already spoken.
Judge Fowle objected to that, but was
willing to join in list of appointments at
places where neither candidate had ad-
dressed the people. Col. Dockery in
sisted on coming west-heuce the joint
discussion ends on Saturday next the
N22d inst.
In the meantime, Judge Fowle has pub
ished list of appointments for himself

as In the U. S. Senate the other day,
old man Blair of New Hampshire, CALLED
old man Reagan OF Texas, a crank. Nh
Reagan said it was the hardest lick he
had ever received from an opponent, and
seemed to be mortified by it, but Blair
said he used the word only in good humor.
The fact is, there are too many other
"cranks" 10 Congress beside Blair aud
