LASTDAYSOF THE EPIDEMIC
The Government Quarantine Around
the City Raised.

Refugees Can Now Enter without
Molestation-No New Cases, No
Deaths and No Discharges the
Record of the Day-The Mallory
Line Steamers to Resume TheiY
Schedules.
Brunswick, Ga, Nov 3O.-There were
no new cases Of fever to-day, no deaths,
and no discharges.
The refugees are returning fast and the
streets are lively.
To-day has been one of unusual thanks
giving in Brunswick and everybody gave
thanks, from the humblest citizen to the
highest official. In the churches the con-
gregatlons gathered and Joined in the
prayers of thanks Of the ministers for de-
liyerance from the deadly plague that
has been among the people All are free
now and all rejoice. This afternoon the
brass band paraded the streets with en-
livening music that brought out large
crowds.
TIP QUARANTINE RAISED.
Surgeon Murray gives Brunswick
double reason for celebrating thanksgiv-
ing tonight by removing the government
quarantine around the city. Any person
can enter Brunswick now without fear on
certificate. Surgeon Murray said to-
night ~ have removed the quarantine.
Any one can enter Brunswick now withs
out n certificate. A surveillance will be
kept on any outgoing baggage or
household goods. The railroads will
resume their regular schedule in and out
tomorrow. The Mallory line steamships
will resume their schedules immediately.
Ihere nave been no new cases of fever
among the refugees lately returned. The
condition of Brunswick warrants the
statement that the city is practically
safe. The outside world may implicitly
trust people from Brunswick now as far
as yellow fever is concerned, and if the
people in Brunswick will be nationally
careful they will suffer no danger them
selves. If more cases occur they will be
treated as sporadic and due reports will
be made of them. In every way
good faith will be preserved with the
outside world. A, OFT, who claims he Is
a citizen Of the United States and has
refused to allow his bedding to be disin-
fected, has been arrested under the law
of the city and has given bond to'answer
for trial on the charge of violation of the
sanitary rules. Brunswick viii be disin-
fected properly, but no damage will be-
done to the peoples property. You can
say as coming officially from me that tho
epidemic is over as far as the outside
world is concerned, although | think
few more cases may occur, which need
cause no alarm
SURGEON CARTER INTERVIEWED.
Surgeon Carter, assistant to Surgeon
Murray in controlling the fever in this
section arrived in Brunswick tonight.
In speaking of the Brunswick fever no
said Before leaving Brunswick last
summer ! expressed the opinion that
cases of fever had existed in Brunswick
before the Branham case, and am Of the
same opinion still. To support this
opinion / have no absolute proof, in fact
it is only a surmise based upon the lack
of facts to prove the origin of yellow fever
in Brunswick and the apparent fact that
other cases Of fever occurred independ-
ent Of the Branham case. Immediately
afterwards. The department wants
proof Of the origin Of the fever in Bruins
wick. | believe that there were cases
before Branham's, butarepeat the state
ment that ! have no proofs. We want
proofs and we are now looking for them"
What about Judge Mershon' g speech2n
~ have never said anything about
Judge Mershon or his speech, but say
now that his attack on Camp Detention
was severe and not warranted. Like
Judge MershOn, we want a state health
board. IL will help the government
work, the state, the people and the
Surgeon Carter requested your cor
respondent not 10 give him much pub
licity, and said that he neither desired or
courted it, His remarks are given as made,
without elaboration but in plain, en-
phatic words.
SURGEON MURRAY TALKS.
In regard TO the writing Of the history
of Brunswick's epidemic, Surgeon Muir
ray said: The statement quoted as
made in Savannah is funny 1t is an
enigma. 1t is beyond my power to imag-
inc how any mau can write the history Of
Brunswicks epidemic who has never
been near here IN her troubles"
In Brunswick Surgeon Carter will
assist Surgeon Murray in fumigating in
fected localities.
The end is near, and before many days
the epidemic will be declared over.
