employed were done 90 only under positive
evidence of their neo,l and the belief that
We should not too severely tax the wiling
ness Of our citizens.
We have had several violations Of the
regulations, a list of which is as follows:
On or about Sept. 10th, Mrs. Bell and
daughters drove over from Slaughter to
tho residence of Mr.. Chas. Tsoracn. They
camo by private conveyance. They were
all quarantined for II days.
On or about tho samo date Mrs. A. r.
Richardson and daughter secured a team
from Mr.. W. W. Worthy, at Ethel, aud
entered tho parish. She too was quaran-
tined at her home II days.
On Sept. 18Th, the City Of Camden land
cd Chas. Dawson (colorcd) by skiff in
violation Of the regulations. He (Chas.
Dawson) was quarautiuel Oh the Island
for II days.
On Sept. 23rd,it was reported that BIZ,
Is. l. and b. +. Barrow were in the parish
and an order was ut once issued for them
to leave tho parish, but OIL Sept. oath,
Mr.. N. H. Barrow, member of your body
from the 9Th ward, came to rs and asked
permission, rs member Of the board Of
hoalth from that ward, to take charge of
the parties and have them quarantined
for the prescribed II days. This request
was granted owing to tho fact that Mr..
i. +. Barrow was sick FROM q recent opera.
ton and feared ,he effect Of exposure in
much travelling. As to tho manner Of con-
Quoting this quarantine, Mr.. Barrow can
make his report to you.
In all other cases the quarantine was
carried out properly to the best Of our
knowledge.
On Sept. 10, = report was brought absut
9 o'clock p. m. that white tramp was at
Fancy Point. Mr.. l.. P. Kilbourno with
assistance Immediately repaired to that
point aud took the man in charge, taking
him to an isolated vacant house, kindly
offered by Mr.. Irvine for our use, and Sc.
curely housed for tho night This was
not done though. until through the further
kindness of Mr.. Irvine he was supplied
with food.
This detail of account Of feeding etc., is
given in order to satisfy the imaginative
fancy Of The Herald that great acts of
bArbarism and inhu,aanity have becn com.
mitted. And would say further to satisfy
the solicitors party that notwithstanding
the fact that this tramp ia question was
very stubborn and insolcnt, Ao WAS treated
with every consideration by those in
charge. 1t being very late when tho tramp
was secured and housed it was impossible
to secure guards for the remainder Of the
night, 80 the house was secured as well as
possible and left until morning when VIC
could take charge of him. Upon visiting
tho 1feaso next morning, parties in charge
at the river reported that he had made
his escape. The search for him revealed
the fact that ho mad left the parish and
this ended our care of tramp No. l..
On Sept. oath, while Judge Gd}san was
dedng !guar1 duty ait Aro,fstcin's Gin q
tramp presented himself q letter from
DR.. W. D. Wall Jr. stating a tale Of being
Il miner feom the north, tryingte get to
the sugar district, in search of work.
The note also stated DR.. Wallis belief in
the tale told, 'but in no other way was the
tramp's travels accounted for. This occ,,r-
cd just few days after it was reported
that numbers of Dagocs had escaped from
an infected house in Now Orleans and was
supposed to DO scattering throughout the
country. The tramp in question was a
dago, so we ordered him retul ned to those
parties having moro confidence in his t,lc.
Right hcrc, gentlemen, MS whore the writer
on the Herald showed his greet love for
suffering humanity. He was then Just. on
tho point Of leaving for business trip
to East Fslieiana, so We he'd him swornas
deputy sheriff with the view ef,saving
expense and Mt tho same time showing
proper feeling In the cause of humanity;
but he objected to tie duty assigned him
aad we had to employ another party to
conduct this tra,4p back to East Fe]ici-
ana.
On Sept. goth, two tramps were turned
back on the upper jackson road, by our
sheriff, but they had different ideas as to
their route of travel, SO they only appar-
emily complied with the commands of the
sheriff and still persisted in coming this
way. They were finally stopped by the
guards. They were, after bcing supplied
with food, recon6ucted to hsparish from
which they came.
Now here comes our best explanation Of
