YELLOW JACK IN THE AIR.
STARVATION STARES THE PEOPLE
OF BRUNSWICK IN THE FACE.

Atmospheric Conditions Favorable to the
Spread of the Disease-TerribIe Distress
in the Stricken Town-AII Trains Under
Surveillance.
ATLANTA, Ga. Aug "a Three women
arrived in Waycross early yesterday morn
ing. They we're footsore and weary. They
stopped at a house for food The negro
cook responded to their wants promptly
and they were enjoying the meal when
one Of them mentioned Brunswick. "
"You all amt from dat town, am your"
exclaimed the Mortified cook. She didn't
wait for a reply but dropped everything
and ran, spreading the alarm.
Her fright was contagious. Whites
and negroes alike promptly fled that part
of the town.
The police force, backed by the Board
of Health, summoned up it's courage
after awhile and the unfortunate women
were escorted to the city limits and told
to shake the dust of Waycross from their
feet. A large sum of money was placed
in their hands to facilitate the shaking
process.
Every train on every railroad. whether
or not from Brunswick or other infected
points makes no difference at all, is under
constant surveillance of health officials
No sooner are a passengers eyes and
tongue released by one set of officers
THAI another set comes to put these
members to the test. IAN tongues out
is the popular sally with which the fes
tive drummer greets the appearance Of
the village doctor.
The drummer takes it as a joke, but
every body else sees the seri GUS side Of
the situation. The outbreak of fever
in Brunswick has been followed by al
exodus, not from that town alone, bui
from Savannah Charleston, Jackson
Vile and other places that have had 1
visit from the fever. Everybody wh'
can conveniently do so is leaving citie
several hundred miles from the point
where the outbreak occurred.
Still another case has developed il
Brunswick to day. There seems to b
no direct connection between this cas-
and the others. There has been no con
tact. This means that the fever is in tn
air; that the atmospheric conditions sr
such as to be favorable to the spread o
the disease. Such conditions mean al
epidemic.
A midnight telegram from Brunswicl
says:-"One more case of fever reporte
