BRUNSWICK LETTER.
Pleasant Reading From the Rapidly
Incorporating City.

Brunswick, Ga, Aug. 1910 the as
tonishmeut OF the few Brunswickians
acquainted with the facts, writer in the
Atlanta Constitution of Sunday last
charges the surgeons in charge of Bruins
wick's fever troubles with having moved
young Harris, against his bitter protest
and heartrending struggles, to the house
where Surgeon Branham died and
recites in narrowing detail the imagin-
airy struggles of the unfortunate young
man.
The facts of the case, as related ySur.
geon Carter, are best told in his own
words. He said: 'sOn the morning
young Harris was moved | was informed
that he had himself requested it, and
furthermore | was given to understand
that his physician, DR.. Hugh Burford,
mad recommended it. ! visited the PATIENTS
room and found that he was the only per
son living there at the time and that, I'M
DER the circumstances then existing,
win the probabilities of an epidemic star
ing US IN the face unless we removed the
causes, | consented to his removal. |
could not, neither could any of the nurses,
20 10 MIN and give him the attention he
needed and it was for the good of the
Guy, Tor Harris himself, and, as I under
STOOD, Oy his own request, and certainly
was moved"
EVERYTHING BEING DONE FOR THE BEST.
That Drs. Carter, Hutton and Guiteras
are dong what they think best it would
pe Unfair to question, and those who
KNOW the men do not indorse the severe
CTluclsm that is being heaped upon
them. To one not conversant with the
methods of treating the disease and the
nerolc means that must be taken to stamp
1t out, much that the physicians and sur
Eeohs nave done appears TO be mere hum
ouggery; but when one takes time to rea-
son and investigate, the impression is left
5ndI Jhey are doing the best that could be
uohe' and deserve, instead of harsh criti-
ISM the most lavish praise that can be
gwen them. Drs. Hutton and Carter are
uol9g all they can to relieve Bruins
WICK distress, and by acct
uehI your correspondent discovered
SlaO IL was DR.. Hutton's suggestion to
SUPERINTENDENT Wyman that the gov
eminent give Brunswick 81 900 per day
UuI OIL the relief fund that first brought
,Ie s1rgeon-generals attention TO the dis
tIeSS mere DR. Hutton urged this amount
lure any appeal was made public, but
i tle hodesty Of the man prevented its be-
ing generally known.
''oRlEs GROWING OUT OF THE SITUATION.
I, 9oihe or the tales told on Brunswick
i4hs and of their dread of being found
SiCK and moved to the pest house are
b ilon' ana some are pathetic One of the
pest is told on Sectetarv A Y Wood of

%d.ulcCed with a severe headache several

IRE ms servant spread the report that
