several attempts to get a cupot coffee
we only succeeded when reaching
the residence OF Mr.. Emile Dnhon,
for which the lady Of the house most
emphatically refused to receive pay,
and for which she has the sincere
thanks Of each Of rs. TIE first
thing to greet the eye Of the traveller
after leaving Ahbeville we're the
large pastures with horses and cattle
roaming at will therein, and cotton
and corr fields which line either side
Of the road, forming almost Il con-
tinnous lane the route through. These
lands are we'll adapted to the culture
of sugar cane, cotton, corn and rice,
and vegetables and frnits Of almost
ell kinds do well. The crops that
were up presented a healthy appear
ance, and should the season turn out
we'll, another winter will see all
classes Of citizens with full purses
and open hearts.
On arriving at Lafayette we found
the town all cog and agog, and upon
inquiry learned that some of the
good people were vending their way
to church, while others were hasten
ing to q picnic given a few miles
distant il the country. In the bust
ness portion of the town everything
was euiet-except at the railroad
depot, where some activity was OBJ
served-and the Sunday law strictly
adhered to. Notwithstanding the
restrictions imposed by the Sunday
law, the people Of Lafayette have
ways peculiar to themselves Of pleas
antly and ~agreeably passing away
the Sabbath. 1t was really a pleas

which others en- Dyed themselves
We can safely say that Lafayette is

A Statement From DR.. Wright.

To the Editor Of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
In reply to letter from DR.. Paul @. SkiH
that appeared in the JOURNAL AND COURIER,
Oct. II, would state that during my service
as health officer, DR.. Paul @. Skiff has not
reported any case of contagious diseases, ex-
cept the GASES that occurred in tho family of
These cases were only reported informally,
after had written to DR.. Skiff asking why
they had not been reported, and stating that
he was violating a rule of the board of
health. DR.. Paul G. Skiff has never reported
any other case. On Aug. 8 Dr. Paul O.
Skiff returned to the registrar a certificate of
the death of one John Crosby of
GA Union street, giving as the cause dipbthe.
retic Group. Not remembering any previous
report of the case before death by DIR. Paul
O. Skiff, carefully examined all the reports
received at this Office to see if any had been
received from him, and found none. Hence,
reasonably concluded that he had not re-
ported it as required by law, and that no re-
port of it had been received. Since DR.. Skif's
letter have again looked over the reports
very carefully, and by comparing
the death certificate with these re-
ports find that DR.. Walter G. Skiff,
not DR.. Paul G. Skiff, did report this case. I
did not when I first examined the reports
look for DR.. Walter G. Skif's name, as he
frequently reports cases, but, for the name
that appeared upon the certificate of death.
The law was again violated, in that no re-
port of the death was made to the board of
health, as required.
In view of DR.. Paul G. Skiff's positive
statement in yesterdays paper, that he did
make this report, I feel it due to myself
to give this true narration of the facts, to the
public. FRANK G. WRIaH1.

The Roara OF Health.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
mo rogue ere felt the halter draw,
With good opinion Of the law."-Hudibras.
The action of the board of eelectmen re-
Gently, end the more recent action of the
board of health, each in the effort to secure
an obedience to laws in which the welfare of
the community is deeply concerned, have
been the occasion of . great deal of criti-
cism. Whether the actions referred to are
deserving of approval or censure ought to be
judged upon reasonable considerations. The
influencing the board Of health are too con-
temptible to be regarded in reference to the
gentlemen who compose that board.
What il of more important concern to the
public is, to know whether it ID for the best
interest Of the people, to have these laws
obeyed or disobeyed.
Is the protection of the public health an
object worth an effort or mott We all know
there are diseases which are contagious and
prevent them. We know also that
not only the patients while i'll are
sources of oontagion, but the
things about them and the houses they oc-
oupied contain or retain the infection long
after the sick ones have recovered. We
know, also, that If the sick ones are secluded
from unnecessary communication with
others, the danger of spreading the disease is
vastly diminished. We know, as well, how
ings of such patients 10 as to destroy the in
lection in them, and SO render them harmless
We know not only by our. own experience,
but by very large experience in many other
places, that precautions timely and wisely
taken can restrict to very narrow limits the
prevalence of all the infectious diseases.
Knowing all this, we ask, is the object
l. -&a
amount of sickness and deaths from these
diseases to one-half. one-third, one-quarter
of what it has been, is it a matter of suffi-
cisnt Importance to do It'll There can be but
one answer to this question. Granting then
that the effort is worth making, the final
question is: Are the regulations enacted by
the board of health judicious and wise,
and best calculated to accomplish
these very desirable objectst The true an.
swer to that Is, that the regulations adopted
by the New Haven Board of Health, are prac-
tically the same, and the methods Of control
ling infectious diseases identically the same,
as have been found most successful in other
places.
If then the aims and purposes of the board
of health are commendable and in the inter-
est Of the public good and the laws they have
enacted are such as have been elsewhere most
approved, why should the board be SO harsh
~ criticised for attempting to enforce thems
The New Haven board Of health lie COM
posed Of most respectable ard honorable
citizens, serving the community without
compensation or reward other than the salts
faction of doing good, and the suggestion
that such men charged with such responsible
duties would spend thought In venting their |
spite upon any sect in medicine or religion |
could only emanate from mind of the most
NEAR, and ignoble character.
