certaining the truth about Dawson's
Quarantine, for with fifty cents he
could have telegraphed to our May
or and learned that our city was
open, not only to Albany, but to
the world. When We heard that
there was a case of yellow fever at
ALBANY, our Mayor telegraphed to
I. n, Voolfolk and learned Che
truth of the Albany case, and a
meeting of the council was called.
They saw no immediate danger and
refused to quarantine against the
much abused city on the fenny
Flint fats. Dawson needs no
quarantine. Our city being on the
high dry land is one of the health
resorts of Georgia, and our people
are charitable enough to keep their
doors open for refugees from
such places as Jacksonville, Albany
and De 'atur, and as for trying to
keep the cotton from Albany, that
is too thin, and does not give any
OF our business men the least
trouble. We have cotton buyers
this season who are paying square
up for cotton. so that very little of
it finds its way to Albany. This
story is too weak. Try another.
Perhaps in times you may fabricate
one that will suit tor an advertising
scheme.
