is able to announce to the public that
there are no new cases of fever of
any kind The case of Harris
terminated fatally at II p. m, and the
other case, the Cox child, is reported
doing well, and a spirit Of confidence and
cheerfulness prevails among our popula-

"tSigued) II. BURFoRD, B. of II.
Al six tonight, H. Burford, president
of the health board and Robt BurfOrd,
health officer, announced to the CORE
spOndent of the MORNING News that there
were no new or suspicious cases.
EVERYTHING DONE TO CURE HIM,
Harris, the second victim, died uncon-
scious. He was i'll five days, and medical
science was exhausted in endeayOring to
save him. Not until after several
spells of black vomit passed was
hope abandoned and when death occurred
suggestions of an autopsy were made to
physicians, but the idea was abandoned
by request of relatives. The body was
inferred by the side of his father in Oak
Grove cemetery. He leaves five brothers
and one sister, Mrs. William S. Ervine of
Macon. He was an upright Christian,
liked by Brunswickians and held high
place in the esteem of the business com
munity.
NO CASE AT ALL IN THE CITY.
The Cox child has been moved six miles
in the country. DR.. Robert Burford, who
has just returned from its bedside, re-
ports it resting quietly and believes it
will recover, unless imprudence in caring
for it causes death.
DR.. Guiteras thinks he has been mis-
quoted, and publishes the following card
IN the Times to set himself right:
4 understand that some remarks made by
me before the board of health have been mis-
understood 1 have to request the publica-
ton Of the following statement I have
never said that yellow fever is epidemic in
Brunswick, l know that 1t is not epidemic
within the limits of the United States. Every
case Of yellow fever occurring in this country
Is more or less directly traceable TO importa-
ton. am very respC ctfully yours,
JOHN GUITBRAs, M. D.
INTELLIGENT ACTION.
In view of the action taken by cities in
quarantining Brunswick, Surgeon Hut
ton issued an order to-day to the Bruins
wick and Western and East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia officials notifying
them that no passengers or baggage will
be allowed to leave Brunswick for any
points south of Atlanta. This is intended
to benefit the people themselves, mas
much as all the towns south of Atlanta
having instituted strict quarantine
against Brunswick, any one leaving for
these points would suffer great hard
ships
All the fire insurance agents
notice that they will waive the vacant
clause in their policies in case Of fire on
account of refugeeing.
An injustice has been done Rev Ed +.
COOK by the Macon Telegraph corre-
Spondent at Fort Valley, who announces
the Rev, Cooks arrival there and the eff
lorts being made by the council to quar-
aantlne him. The Rev. 0. +. Cook of
Daren was probably the one. The CORE
spoadent meant to refer to Rev. Ed +.
SSook who buried Surgeon Branham and
lolng Harris. He is here now, minis
uerng TO the wants of the suffering. His
cooling hands and comforting words
are relieving much of the
o-syfess among not only his
o"A nut other congregations. That he
auoud have been reported out of the city
- regfetted by the people here, who love
nun NO nObler work was ever done by
~ human than he is doing in this, the hour
Vi EBfunsWlck's need.
