ERRORS IN AN INTERVIEW.
Copies of the Knoxville, Tenn, Senti-
mel nf NnVan hpY IN ppaphpH' ri,alr
to-day, containing an alleged interview
with Sam E. Whitmire, formerly editor
Of the Brunswick Times, in which he de-
scribes the suffering among the poor, and
declares that more donations are needed.
Mr.. Whitmire's interview also alleges
that funeral train leaves Brunswick
daily with fever victims. Mr.. Whitmire
has not been seen near Brunswick in
three months. There is no funeral .rain
leaving Brunswick daily, and the people
are being well cared for. Dona-
Jions> have been officially stopped,
and are nOG expected. The
people are indignant over the unfair
representations of outsiders and denounce
in plain language those who continue to
try TO place them in the attitude of beg
gine from public that has sent ample
supplies freely.
Surgeon Murray has wired Superin-
tendent HOrre, of the East Tennessee
road, requesting him not TO sell tickets
further south than Sand Hill. The East
Tennessee has acted squarely during this
epidemic, and Surgeon Murray's request
will probably be granted. Surgeon
Murray said tonight: THE East Ten
nessee road, and especially Conductor
McCreary have been careful not 20 allow
refugees to slip in, but / find that
refugees, in their insane desire to
rush into danger, come as far south as
Sterling, thirteen miles distant, and walk
through the woods past the guards and
into the city. With tickets sold no
farther south than Sand Hill the distance
will prove too great for them TO walk, ana
| am positive Conductor McCreary will
not accept cash fares farther. II the peo-
pie will only wait short while they can
come in, but this warm weather will GER
tainly bring out more new cases, and If
you have watched the reports you have
seen that the whites are now being
stricken regularly. With warm weather,
returning refugees and infection not yet
destroyed, the epidemic conditions will
certainly continue longer" The last case
in Brunswick s epidemic of 1876 did not
come until Dec. Is.
ANOTHER FROST AT JEsUP,
Jesup, Ga, Nov. 17.--Another heavy
frost and ice made their appearance this
morning. This absolutely finishes the
epidemic here The suspicious case was
discharged well this morning. This state
ment is official and correct. The Gordon
of guards was removed this morning by
order Of Surgeon General Wyman, thus
leaving Jesup open at least TO the outside
world TO come in, and all trains should be
allowed To stOD here Tomorrow
