THE CASE AT HAzELHURsT.

He informed DR.. Lincoln that the case
OF Mr.. Leggett, near Hazelhurst, who was
resident of Jesup, was, unquestiona-
bly,, yellow fever and that he fortunately
arrived in time to save his life, inasmuch
as 1t was being treated as an ordinary
case of bilious fever.
DIR. Lincoln and Surgeon Carter were
class mates at the university of Mary
land, and it was their first meeting after
fifteen years, and as can well be imagined
they We're correspondingly glad to see
each other again and have talk over
scenes and times long past.
Neptune Bell and James Haynes, two
aged negroes for years past citizens of
this place, both died suddenly this morn
ing Of old age. They were well thought
Of by all the whites, and much looked
up to by their own color for many
years.
TIC, Too much praise cannot be bestowed
upon the conduct Of e. L..
Fishback, who has been doing
the duty of guard and general utility man
in Jesup since the yellow fever. He has
at no time consulted his own convenience
or health, but has sacrificed both to the
performance of his duty. Without his
able assistance last night the prompt
burial of the remains of MIR. Gray, and
the immediate fumigation of the house
anu Gls INSTRUCTION OF Lne lnI6cbeu Deu-
ding, would have been an absolute impos-
sibility. He certainly deserves all that
can be said in his praise.
REFUGEES AT wAYoRoss.
Waycross, Ga, Oct. 20-Since the
second outbreak Of yellow fever at Bruins
wick people stopping here has increased
almost daily. Some of Brunswicks best
citizens are here They are very clever
and appear to make themselves at home,
as much as if they were at Brunswick
during peaceful times. There is, of
course, more or less sadness felt by them
when they think of their desolate homes
and the suffering condition of those left
behind Then too, they are anxious
about those who are dear to them who have
been scattered by the epidemic Those
who come through Camp Haines speak
highly complimentary of Surgeon Ged-
dings. They are satisfied that the gov
ernment could not have put a better man
in charge of the camp. The people of
Waycross welcome the good people Of
Brunswick and will gladly extend to
them due courtesies and hospitalities

Chicago, Ill, Oct 20-The New Or
leans limited, over the Illinois Central
road, was wrecked by colliding with a
coal train three miles beyond Kankakee
at l o'clock this morning. Nine persons
were seriously injured and many more suf-
fered from bruises that will not require
the attention of a surgeon.
The injured are:

hips and legs bruised.

cut and hip hurt; ankle sprained.
Mrs. Slayton of Wichita Falls, hand,

the Twelfth street depot at 1920 o'clock
this morning 1t had seven coaches and
two sleepers, all of which were filed.

vision branches off the main line
A coal train under charge of Conduc-
tor Gallard of Bloomington, arrived at
the junction as the limited started, and
after stopping for signal the
passenger train had the right of
way, and Engineer Smith, Of the passenger
train, expected that the coal train would
stop before reaching the crossing. For
some reason the coal train forged ahead
running half its length upon the main
track, when the passenger train struck
it. Both trains were going at fair speed
and the shock threw the passenger
coaches OF the track. The engine was
uerailed and the sides of the mail car,
baggage car and express car and two
coaches were torn out by cars loaded with
coal. Most of the passengers were asleep
and the shock threw them TO the floor
Splintering Of the cars and flying glass

from Blackshear before the quarantine

ing his two daughters, Mrs. F. p. Row

with yellow fever. 1t was his misfortune
fte seeing them out of danger and CON
N,.-~scent TO take the fever himself. and

resulting from his advanced age and his
imprudence while convalescent, the dis
ease terminated fatally. He made
a hard fight for his life and his death
was bewailed by all.
DR.. Lincoln and Mayor Steele drove
out 10 the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia railroad coal chute to-day and

BURR WINToN DEAD


BURR wINToN DEAD.
In addition to the Official report, at
noon, can be added one death since the
regular meeting, Burr Winton, white.
Mr.. Winton was one of the commissary
clerks, who remained to help the suffering
poor.
Mr.. Winton's death was sudden, and he
was thought to be resting easily last
night. Mr. Winton was the oldest living
member of the Odd Fellows in Georgia.
He has been an active member, in good
standing, for tifty-six years, and at the
time of his death was a member of
Seaport Lodge No. 6s, and Patriarch

Robert Phoenix of Jekyl Island, as new
cases in the death roll. It was intended
that they be in the list of new cases
Cold rainy weather continues and the
star of hope that setdled brighter as the

creasing deaths.

The Great Wall of China.

The scenery from ohe great wall is
very fine. The wall is here a dividing
line between the high, rugged hills of
China, which tower above US on the one
hand, and the great sandy plains OF
Mongolia on the other, with dim noun
tain SUBMITS beyond in the far distance.
Over these barren, rocky spurs and ac-
cliyities, ascending the very SUBMITS,
winding about in Irregular curves and
zigzags, its serried battlements clear-cut
against the sky on the topmost ridges,
descending into the dark gullies to APP
pear again rising on the other side, the
endless line of massive stone and brick
runs on and on until lost TO sight be-
hind the farthest range. And so 1t
goes for miles and miles, eastward to the
Pechill Gulf, and westward, mostly in
two great rambling lines, along the
border OF the Cobb desert and Kansu,
until it ends among the foothills of the
Nan Shan range. However we may re-
gard it, whether as a grand conception
for the defense OF an empire, as an en-
cheering feat, or merely as Q result OF
the persistent application Of human
labor, it is stupendous work. No
achievement OF the present time
compares with it in magnitude.
But it has outlved its usefulness.
The powerful Tartar and Mongol
hordes, whose sudden raids and inva-
sions 1t was built to resist, are no mo re
to be feared. The great Genghis aud
the Kublai could not lead their people
to a CORY conquest now as they did cen
turtles ago. The Chinese civilization
has endured. while the once conquerlng
Mongols, the people who in their
brightest days established an empire
from the Black Sea to the China Coast,
and a Court at Peklng of such luxury
and splendor as Marco Polo described,
are now doomed to pass away, leaving
nothing behind them but the traditions
and records and ruins OF brilliant

was in a railroad car on certain occa-
sion, going to the unwilling Of monu-
ment to some general. We were in the
smoker, when Gen. Sherman, who had
been back in the sleeping car, came in.
In few minutes an old soldier came in
and said: "Gen. Sherman, | want to

soldier who fought through the war.
Tell me, said Gen. Sherman, reaching
out his hand, did you put down the re-
bellion?' No We'll, sit down then
