citizens, that some la Y cannot be found by
which the draining of filth over the public
highways can be stopped But Council
has hit upon new idea and now the pro.

are to be asked to make connection with

If they will do this, Council believes it
will be in position to compel Mr.. Purcell

The announcement that the steamers at
New York are beginning to discharge their
passengers has stirred up our people and
they appreciate the motive Of the Chief
Burgess. They realize that a thorough
examination of the sanitary condition Of
the borough is a necessity, as well as the
use of disinfectants. Mr.. Smith says he
will devote twelve hours day to the work
if the sanitary committee will give him
encouragement and assistance. Mr.. Smith
s also desirous of interesting the physicians
of the town in the work and he requests
them to notify HIM Of any places which
they think is menace to the health of the
public He also requests that they notify
him of any contagious cases that may arise
and suggest any precautions that to them
may seem proper.

dents.
Before the convention adjourns 9 reso-

DR.. Hawthorne welcomed the Conven-
ton to Atlanta and Governor Northen to

At the afternoon session Of the Con-

Colonel George w. Bushyhead, dele

Colonel Bushyhead, as he delighted in
styling himself, was an ex-chief OF the
Cherokee Indians of the North Carolina
reservation.
Ho was q cousin Of the famous Bushy-
head, chief of the Cherokees Of the reser-
vation in the Indian Territory.
Colonel Bushyhead, after resigning his
position Of chief Of his tribe, began

ordained as Baptist minister.

He was stopping at a boarding house
near the center Of the city. Several days
ago he contracted severe cold which de-
Yeloped into pneumonia,
Monday afternoon he was removed to

sank gradually until Tuesday morning,
when he died.
MIR. Cargile was employed by City
Warden Hunter to take the body to the
Southern Medical College. Afterwards
this order was changed, and Cargile yes
terday again secured the body.
This morning the body Of the ex.chief,
although with white blood in his veins,
was laid to rest in SoqthYiew cemetery, q
colored burial ground south of the CITY,
No word has been sent to RuBhyhead's
relatives of his death.
AS he was one of the most prominent

it is very probable that relatives will have
the body exhumed and buried decently,

the Confederate Army, It Is said. When
the late war began he raised troop of in
fantry, which fought gallantly under bis
leadership pntil the end of that eventful
