URGED TO CHEER UP.
Col Goodyear followed Surgeon Muir
ray in speech on the same line, and
urged the people to cheer up and face the
pestilence and help to get aid here. DR..
A. j. Butts stated that one census taker,
out of fifteen employed, reported that out
of 100 families on his list only four had
the necessaries Of life to keep soul and
body together In his round he had Wis
tied families too honest to steal, too
proud to beg, and too poor to provide
food for their children. In ordinary times,
when our industries are running, the men
of these families had work TO do, but
now, with every avenue of resource
closed, they were helpless and literally
starving.
SUPPLIES MUST KEEP COMING.
visited the relief headquarters di-
rectly after the meeting and found one car
load of supplies arrived from Atlanta to-
day. l understand more are enroute, but
the epidemic is on us for six weeks lon
ger. Three thousand out of forty-five
hundred people are suffering for food,
and all the help is needed that generous
public can give. In his remarks Surgeon
Murray said that ali the houses now
closed should be opened and white
washed before being occupied, or else
fever germs might linger in them
throughout the winter. But all the
houses now occupied and opened daily
were safe.
THE CALAMITY LIAR.
He stated that he wished denial made
of the rumor published from jackson,
Miss, that cholera was in Brunswick
| He said that with her broken banks,
C loscd stores and starved people Bruns-
wick had all she could well handle with
out liars saying that cholera was in her
midst.
The question af exporting cotton was
| brought up. The Brunswick Terminal
| Company controlling two-thirds of the
cotton exports, transact their business
now at the East Tennessee docks, three
miles from Brunswick Employees of
! the company live in a village named
| Pelicanville, four miles from Brunswick
! There is no connection whatever between
| Pelicanyille and Brunswick, as a strict
| quarantine is on against Brunswick day
and night. Guards are stationed around
/ the village and also at the canal bridge
! leading to the docks, and no one is al
| lowed to go to or from the
! docks or village without a permit
! from the president. A. f. Churchill,
| who issues no permits except to employees
of the company is living at the village,
| and these permits only allow holders to
| go to aud from their labor at the docks.
| No person is allowed TO leave the village
for the city or country
TERMINAL OFFICE MOVED.
All supplies are brought in carload lots
| from interior cities hence no communi-
| cation with Brunswick is necessary. The
! Terminal Company has moved its main
| office to the dock, and have a Western
| Union wire and operator at the dock
conducting all their business from
| the dock The entire company's
force and employees are isolated from
/ Brunswick andftheir business is carried
on without interruption. There is not q
| solitary case Of sickness of any kind al
the village or docks. There is no good
! reason why the export cotton business
! through Brunswick should not continue
| and it is a mistake for any railroad agent
or cotton shipper to think that he will
| suffer in any way by shipping cotton
! through Brunswick, as the company has
| had a reputation in the past of carrying
! out all contracts made with prOmptness
| and dispatch and isprepared to do Sc
| now.
STEAMER DISPATCHED YESTERDAY.
It dispatched its first cotton ship to-day
! for Hamburg and Bremen and will sail
| another this week. 1t has other ships
]
| In concluding this interview with
| President Churchill he stated his hopes
! that interior shippers would not get
! panicked, like Brunswick people aid, and
| snip their cotton elsewhere, as he is here
! to stay and has ships to forward cotton.
| Surgeon Murray was present during the
! interview and indorsed it, and said there
| is no more risk of handling business at
! the Terminal companY's docks than there
/ f- ~ u araf z not
! New York City
Postmaster McC. Brown received au-
| thOrity to-day, and has stationed letter
| box at Camp Detenti for the convenience
| Of refugees, by authority from the govern
| ment He will limit the local service here
! from 9 to p. m. DR.. j. w Jaynes of
| Atlanta has opened Offices in the Ogle-
| thorpe hotel, and will consult and treat
people free. Father Hennessy is still
! here, despite strenuous efforts made to
relieve him temporarily for fear he would
catch the fever, and says he will receive
contributions from any of his people.
JOKE ON AREFUGEE DOCTOR.
A huge joke has been perpetrated on
DIR. j. NJ. Madden in Atlanta by Bruins
| wickians here. The doctor led the indig-
nation meeting against the surgeons, and
| on Monday he left, and while en- route
| some of his friends wired Inspector Veal
of Atlanta that he had been in infected
houses The Inspector promptly arrested
the doctor on arrival and sent him to Ma
rietta. About twenty kilograms from the
doctor to leading people were received to-
day asking why he was singled out for ar
rsst He was informed after a long time
mat it was only q joke, and his release
was ordered. The doctor is president OF
| the Merchants and Traders Bank, and is
able to stand the expense of joke.
ACTION OF SURGEON wYMAN.
SurgeOn-G General Wyman wired author
| ity to pass all immunes out after one
| days detention who had clean clothing,
and to pass all persons he selected north
of Washington D. c., without detention,
and that he believed all the southern
states would honor his ten-day detention
certificates, but would wire further to-
morrow about it. The surgeon wired to-
night that O. w. Cole had malarial fever
and was conyalescent after one days
| sickness.
Mayor Lamb and Col. Jacob Dart, Of
the relief committee, desire it understood
that the relief committee had nothing to
