A popular impression has existed for a |
number OF years to the effect that during
the warm weather germs or microbes of
contagious diseases have been carried by
flies and mosquitoes, thus assisting in the
spread Of those diseases. The impression
has gone abroad in spite OF the fact that
medical science has never established Its
truth The subject was brought to the
attention Of DR., Ford, president of the
board of health of Philadelphia recently
and also DR. William NJ WEIGH, physi-
clan in charge of the Municipal hospital
there.

Ford, but It has never been verified by
practical experiment. 1t is known that

The Race War I'm Alabama Me-
gro Plot Exposed.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, May 9.-Emer-
son Shepard, negro, who was fatally
shot in fight with the Sheriff's posse
last Thursday, before dying revealed
the alleged plot o. the leaders in the
Lowndes county riot. He states that
Friday last was the time appointed to
massacre the whites. Meetings were
held by lodges to raise money to pup
chase ammunition to kill the whites
il they attempted to arrest the ne
groes.
The principal negro engaged in the
plot was Bob Robinson, President of
the meeting. Neil Mangum, Secre-
terry and Treasurer of the lodge, was
also deeply implicated. They claim
TO have large societies throughout the
United States who have resolved to
avenge their fallen ones and protect
their color in the future at all haz-
ards. The negro claims that Lowndes,
Crenshaw and Butler counties have
the largest clubs, and are fully com
petent to do their duty.
They state that they have endured
the mistreatment of the whites long
enough and propose to put an end to
ii or there will be bloodshed. All
members Of The lodge were notified
by the leaders that if they failed to be
present at the meeting Friday and do
their duty in the proposed massacre
OF the whites, they would be put to
death. Forty-eight of the negroes en-
gagged in the riot have been arrested
and jailed. The Sheriff's posse and
State. troops seem to have put an end
to the trouble for the present, but
another outbreak is liable to come
sooner or later.
