SIX NEW FEVER CASES
The Record the LighteSt for Any Day
for Many Weeks.

Epidemic Expected to Slightly Ex-
ceed 1000 - Three New Cases at
Jesup.
Brunswick, Ca, Oct. 27.-The official
report for to-day showed six new cases,
one white and five colored. The new
white patient is Miss Irma Lambright,
on st. Simons.
The colored are: DR.. G. A. Blair, J.
jackson, relapse; Madeline Winks, VIII
liam Glenor, and Alvin Stewart
Two whites died-Bessie Firth and
Hilda Paulsen,
The following were discharged:

Colored-M. Carter, Aaron Mungin, An
ME Walbury, Willie Webb, John Jones,
Mary Mungin, Sadie MauIding, and Het-
tie Jones.
A CHANGE IN THE WEATHER.
Tonight at O'Clock rain began falling
steadily, making the atmosphere some
what cool. The indications for a cold,
rainy nor 'wester are good. The effect on
the patients under treatment will be bad
and the change will cause the disease to
spread greatly. The great drop in cases
to-day can be attributed to the weather
prevailing recently. The cold spell of a
few days back stopped the progress
greatly and the scarcity of material
helped the situation. The mala-
ria type had commenced to
spread rapidly under the weather
influence, aided by the scarcity of ma
terial for yellow fever, but the change

be attributed to the cool nights that
brought out the germs in those that would
have been merely walking cases, but
their effect in stopping the spread bid
fair to counterbalance them. There are
1900 people in Brunswick. Those who have
had the fever and those under treatment,
including the immunes found by the cen
sus will number nearly 900. The num-
Der of cases by the end of the epidemic
will go slightly over 1000, but the per-
centage of deaths will hardly be over 10
per cent unless the weather changes
greatly. All the physicians are hopeful.
Two deaths from other causes than yell
low fever occurred to-day. One white,
an infant of G. A. Herte, and one colored,
Bob Roberts, who had become deaf,
dumb and blind from old age.
AN APPEAL FOR CLOTHING.
An error is being made by some papers
In kindly publishing statements that
Brunswick 5 relief committee are appeal
ing for clothing for the destitute people.
This mistake doubtless resulted from an
appeal issued by an individual minister
member of the relief committee, on be-
half of his own congregation. Bruins
wick needs clothing for her poor, but
has issued no appeal for
it. Brunswick appreciates the kind
and generous contributions sent her
by the outside world but does not desire
to appeal for clothing. The people here
are satisfied that generous friends are
doing their best for them and they do not
want to be placed in the light of making
further appeals for aid An effort will
be made to care for the people with what
has and will be sent without urging any
thing more.
THREE NEW CASES AT JEsUP.
Jesup, Ca, Oct 27.-Three new cases
Of fever were reported to-day. The new
patients are: Mrs. w. T. Wilkins and
Miss Georgia Wilkins (white) and Isaac
Parks, a negro. These parties have been
sick for the last three days but the dis
ease has been of such mild character as
to be almost indistinguishable from the
ordinary type of malarial fever and DR..
Lincoln apprehendS no difficulty in their
recovery, neither does he think the cases
will be of long duration on account of the
premonitory symptoms.
Now that the epidemic is drawing to its
close, and the danger seems to be in a
large degree past, the people within the
quarantine lines are beginning to give
manifestations of impatience, and TO quar-
rel with the government and city authori-
ties on every corner. One can see groups
Of four to five men discussing the situa-
tion in a most dissatisfied manner.
EACH HAS A PLAN.
Each and every one is confident in his

pack to Jesup that a number of her
clnzens have been opposed to the govern

IaJe, as the danger is passing
their complaints are becoming more
outspoken. 1t is not with the local
representatives of the government
That they find fault. but in the confidence
induced by ignorance they presume to

carried on by the authorities at Washing
Ton and each is sure that he could pro-
duce better and safer system for the
safety OF the people than the present one
