WELL-POUNDED COMPLAINT.

A PROMINENT CITIZEN COM
PLAINS or THE BOARD OF
HEALTH's LENIENCY.
"Diphtheria Is a disease as deadly as
smallpox and almost as infectious, -
said a prominent citizen, who has a
family, to an Evening Journal reporter
this morning. I'VE have many cases
of the disease in our city, and 1t Is not
being stamped out as 1t should be.
blame the Board OF Health for this.
The houses should be quarantined as
rigidly as they would be were the
smallpox prevalent here. l know cases
where the children OF such households
are permitted TO play In the streets
with other children; the men and wo-
men folk leave the house and mingle
with other persons on the street and In
the cars. Visiting between such infect
cd homes and others not infested is
openly carried on. / tell you 1t is Q
shame and almost a crime. The old
Board OF Health would not permit IT
and the sooner the new board awakens
to IT'S duty, the sooner it will be per
forming its proper functions"

THE SMYRNA POSTMASTERSHIP.
SEVEN APPLICANTS IN THE
FIELD AND 'AiJL SANGUINE OF
SUCCESS.

SUCCEoS.
Special Correspondence Evening Journal
Smyrna, Nov. 1.--MOre interest is
taken in the fight for the Smyrna post
mastership this year than ever before.
Seven applicants now occupy The field,
and all entertain the most sangulne
hopes
1t will he remembered that at the late
general election. the Addicks Republi-
caus Of Duck Crek hundred prevented
the holding of am election In the East
ern district Their acton resulted over
the appointment of John Price. a regu-
lar Republican as voters assistant In
Price the Addicks people found man
who would not be corrupted, a man
who would not fam in line with the
schemes which had been conc0cted for
the bribery Of voters Therefore, sooner
than allow the election to proceed hon
estly they had their Addicks election
judge TO refuse b hold the election.
John Price is now the leading man in
the fight for postmaster, and If he
should succeed in getting the plum, II
will prove a bitter pill for the followers
OF the gas king"
Prices appointment will mean the
organization OF the Higgins forces IN
Duck Creek hundred, and. realizing this
fact, Thomas Jefferson, himself an ap-
pllcant for the post office; Dr. T. c.
Moore and other Union Republican
leaders. are bitterly fighting Prices ap-
pointment.
Another interesting feature Of this
fight is the candidacy of ]. E. Will
liams. Mr.. Williams has always been
an ayOwed Democrat, and Is new posing
as the applicant of the people. claiming
that a satisfactory selection cannot hs
made on account of factionalism in tn,
Republican ranks, and chat he would b
the choice of all the people.
Other applicants are T. b. Megear
