Small Pox near Patterson.

Considerable excitement existing
in the community owing to the re-
port that small pox is prevailing in
an epidemic form in Patterson, we
give below an extract from the ad'
dress prepared for the public by the
citizens Of that town, and have no
reason to doubt that the facts are as
given. In the first place We wish
emphatically to deny the rumor that
small pox exists in Patterson itself.
There is a colored settlement on the
edge of the swamps called Tibbs-
vile, between US aud it Victoria
plantation intervenes.
There are now twenty cases of
small pox in this community. They
are confined to five adjoining houses
occupying a small area of aboa 3
acres the houses are capable Of per-
feet isolation. We have established
a shotgun quaratine around these
cabins and have forbidden all egress
or ingress into this settlement under
penalty Of being shot by the guards.
- y
The quarantine will be retained
night and day until the disease is
stamped ont. No living person will
be allowed to enter this settlement
! unless it be to execute its duties.
The nurses will be confined within
it as long as the disease lasts. In
this matter we have made impossi-
BILE any communication with this set
Element. As an extra precaution
vaccine points have been ordered
and the entire population, white and
black will be compelled to submit tc
vaccination. 1t is a scientific fact
that the spread of this disease mus
be by personal contact with the
germs and the germs themselves dc
not 60 through the air but must be
conveyed. By isolation We proven.
the germs from reaching Patterson
and by thorough vaccination We rem
der a breaking out impossible, ever
if the germs broke through the qua
rantine. The first stage Of small
pox is fever and the disease can b,
detected before eruptions break out
Ii is not contagious until eruption
do head out. Every case of feve
that occurs will be watched and re
moved to the pest house before i
can break out with eruptions anG
spread the disease. We believe tina
with the precautions taken by US, i
will be impossible for small pox tt
reach US, and to become epidemic i
it could pass through the quaran
tine"

can people; for those who know these
men best do not attribute to them any
such dark and sinister designs against
the Government of the United States as
their enemies charge them with. In
his allusion to the tariff and the great
prosperity 1T produced toward the close
of his administration, his defects of MEM
DRY are astonishing The numerous
strikes and signs of impending panic
were indicative of anything rather than
prosperity; while the fact that President
Cleveland not so very long after his in
auguration was compelled to call Con-
gress together showed only too well that
an era of distrust and financial disorgan-
ization had begun before the close of his
predecessors administration. All the
talk of prosperity under the protective
system might bolster up the cause of Nc
Kinley, if the people had no recollection of
the history of his famous tariff law and
its disastrous consequences; but here is
where Republican orators make a most
serious mistake. The people we'll re-
! member how the tide began to turn as
far back as 1890, and how, from over
production, too much speculation and
wildcat schemes generally, confidence
was thus early undermined, to be follow
ed by the days of panic, of which this
! general distruSt was the inevitable fore
runner. They knew that the hard times
of 1898 would have come just as surely
under the Mckinley Il S under the Wilson
| bill, and that it was dissatisfaction
with the results of the former that re-
! stored the Democrats to power and made
the latter bill possible. This argument,
like the shallow sophistries and the abu-
| sive epithets of the ''sound money! adj
vocates, will not avail. The people of
the West and South have already awak-
ened to true view of the situation, and
the people of the North and East are
rapidly coming to n full realization of the
situation, all of which means that Bryan
will be elected President, and the free
coinage of silver will be the policy of the
! Government of the United States

MAY HAVE NO JURISDICTION.
A Forecast of Judge Simonton's Decision
in the Rate War

in the Rate War.
Washington, August 29.-The Star this
afternoon says: The announcement of
the decision of Judge Simonton in refer
ence to the injunction proceedings before
him in which the Southern States Freight
Association and Seaboard Air Line were
defendants, is expected within a day or
two The impression prevails that Judge
Simonton will, in his opinion, deal mainly
with the question of jurisdiction. Some
of those who followed the arguments de-
livered when the proceedings were pend
ing before the court are convinced that
the claim that he had no jurisdiction in
the matter will be sustained and although
this would be really a change of position
on the part of Judge Simonton he will
not hesitate to take that ground if he is
convinced that he should do so.
a Southern railway official said that if
the decision is that the court has no ju-
risdiction it will open the way for re-
newal of the fight, if the Seaboard has a
disposition to force the matter. There
are, however, some railway men who
believe that it has no jurisdiction IN the
case. The Port Royal and Augusta road,
which was the plaintiff in the original
action, will appeal the case and the
whole question will eventually be
brought before the supreme court of the
United States.

The Congressional fight in the Third
district between Col. Tazewell Elicit, the
present representative, and Captain John
Lamb has been one of the closest and
most interesting struggles occurring in
this State during the present campaign.
AT first Mr.. Elicit seemed to have things
all his own way; but just when his nom.
nation was apparently assured, Captain
Lamb began to gain votes, and has CON
tinued to do so until now it is generally
believed that he will be nominated He
had "A lead of four delegates ut last ac-
counts, with the remainder 30 be chosen
in what is generally conceded as his ter
ritories. At one time it seemed probable
that the 'sound money! Democrats
mighS have man in the field; but this
idea seems to have been abandoned This
leaves the fight squarely between the
Democrats and Republicans, with better
chance for the latter to win, if the Sound
money bolt is as co nsiderable as some
of its advocates pretend but even then
the chance will not amount to much.

of his suicide is supposed TO have been

weapons are equally effective in practiced
hands, it might just as soon happen,
however, that General Harrison would be
impaled on Tillman's pitchfork, as that
the latter would be run through by the

said TO have said to the Irish sergeant at
fredericksburg, "Let the battle go on"
Mr.. Bryan's campaign in Northern New
York is proving to be a remarkably sue
cessful one. Thousands of people are
flocking to hear him and he has talked
himself hoarse. At Knowlesville several
thousand farmers heard him deliver one
of the ablest speeches made by him since
his nomination. He took Secretary Car
isles own words and proved conclusi fely
to his hearers that all the distinguished
Kentucky statesman had said in favor Of
free coinage while in Congress, holds
equally as good at the present time. His
exposure of Republican inconsistency in
UNFOLDING the gold standard while declar-
ing for bimetallism was mastery in its

Hill in connection with the work already
done would insure a surprising result in

AN UNREPORTED HOLDUP.
County Commissioner Graf Has an
Experience.

County Commissioner Graf states
that some time ago he and Louis Ar
mold were driving home in the evening
from this city, Mr.. Arnold steam be-
ing ahead. When near the city limits
on the Fletcher road, two parties
stopped Mr.. ArnOld's team by catch
ing them by the bits, and demanded
his money. Mr.. Graf then drove up,
which frightened off the would-be
robbers. Mr.. Graf says that the rob-
bers made mistake in the party and
intended to hold him up, he thinks.
He recognized the two parties as
young men of this city, and he thinks
that they ought to be prosecuted, al
though he says that they now claim
that it was only in fun, which he does
not think was the case.

moved a little at one point. The blue
print is not exactly satisfactory, and
will probably be corrected so as to
make place for pedestrians on each
side of the roadway.
"A man by the name of Shepard,
living in Decoria township, drove in
, to town Monday evening in post haste.
Jumping out of his buggy at the
Mapleton house, he anXiously inquired
of the landlord if he had seen young
women and child at the afternoon
train. On receiving an affirmative
reply he exclaimed, "She has left me. !"
He then explained that they had had
a few words and that she had packed
! up few of her belongings, taken her
child and departed. On inquiry it
was learned that she had purchased a
ticket to Cresco, Iowa, where her
mother is said to reside Mapleton
