10 REBUILD THK QUARANTINE,
The City Council Calls for speciHoa
tions.


tions.
The city will rebuild the quaran tine
station at once. A special meeting Of the
council was called by the mayor yester-
day afternoon at o'clock 70 take steps
looking 70 the rebuilding OF the quaran-
tine. Those present were Mayor Melon
ough, and Aldermen Cam, Dixon, Har-
ris, Screven, Myer, Mcmillan aud
Haines.
Mryor McDonough announced the OBJ
ject Of the meeting, and stated the con-
dition in which the quarantine was left
by the storm, both the upper
and lower stations being com
pie wrecks. He said he had
ordered such temporary provision made
as are necessary for the accommodation
Of vessels already at quarantine and ar
irving there. The quarantine, he said is
one Of the chief safeguards of the city S
health and II is necessary 10 rebuild it
and the work should begin as early as
possible.
~ FAVOR OF THE LOWER STATION.
Alderman Cam said that in his opinion
the new quarantine should be built en-
tirely at the lower station and thus save
the Inconvenience Of having two stations.
The city should take steps to ascertain
exactly what sort Of q quarantine station
is needed to meet all require
ments and should then order it
built at once. He was opposed TO any
temporary affairs and was in favor Of do
ing the whole work at once in the most
substantial manner The best way to
get at a thorough understanding of the
city's needs in the shape of a quarantine
station, he thought, was to have a CON
ference Of the city engineer, the health
officer and the quarantine officers, that
they might make recommendations for
the purpose.
The other aldermen agreed with Al
derman Cam in his views
SPECIFICATIONS CALLED FOR.
A resolution introduced by Alderman
Haines was passed authorizing the health
and cemetery committee TO have plans
and specifications prepared for the ex-
tension Of the wharves at the lower
quarantine in so far as it might be ueces-
sary for the accommodation of the COM
merce of the port. An advertisement for
plans and specifications appears in to-
days MORNING NEWS.
The temporary repairs ordered by the
mayor to meet the present emergency
were approved.
1t is thought that the city will have to
expend about $4,000 to put the station in
good condition.

THE LOSS OF COTTON.

1t is the opinion that the long staple
cotton that is raised between Georgetown
on the north and Hunting Island en- the
south is entirely destroyed. There seems
to be no doubt that 70 per cent of the
crop is gone. The rice planters are out of
pocket at least $500 900.
THE DEAD OF THE SEA ISLANDS.
All the news that comes in from the
sea islands Is Of the most appalling char
acter. II Is not known and never will be
known how many lives were lost. This
statement can be easily understood by
those who are acquainted with the sea
islands. The creeks, rivers.
bays and inlets are so numerous
that it is practically impossible To find all
the bodies of those who were DESTROYED
At Port Royal over 100 were drowned. On
Lady's Island 1913 blacks were buried yes
terday. On Coosaw Island, where the
phosphate works are located, very few es-
capped. 1t is estimated that over IS blacks
were drowned there. On Wassaw Island
81 dead bodies have been found and the
corpses are said to be lying around in
scores.
