The Fever at Royville.

DR.. Thomas Rand contributes to
the Daily Iberian the following ac-
count of the cases of fever at Roy
vile, which have been the cause Of
so much excitement 10 consequence
of the rumor that they were yellow
fever :
"Dr. N. D. Young and his sister
in-law, Mrs. G.. J.. Young, the
mother of Clarence Berwick, spent
some time at Pascagoula. from which
place they went to Ocean Springs,
Mississippi, on or about August 18th.
They left Ocean Springs on August
18th and went TO Patterson, rather
to Dir. Sanders plantation, where
young Berwick is now sick. On
that place, Dr.. Young who bad had
a severe case Of yellow fever in 1867
was taken i'll with fever. Doctor
YouDg's fever was pronounced den
que and he was at the same time
suffering with boils. After he re-
covered Mrs. G.. j. Young was taken
with fever, was III a few days snd
her husband and Dr.. Young, left for
RoYville.
On September 9th Dir, Young's
brother G.. J. Young was taken
with a mild fever at Royv!lle. last.
ing four or five days. Drs. N. D,
and R. O. Young have stated to me
positively that it was not the yellow
fever. / have been told that Dir
G.. w. Scranton also says II was mol
yellow fever.
The Meridional. (Abbeville, La.) 1856-1906, 1897-10-16
The Patterson Case

There was much uneasiness here
last week, caused by the telephone
message from Patterson to the effect
that Clarence Berwick, living on
DR.. Sanders auckland plantation,
three miles above that town, has the
yellow fever,
The case was pronounced to be
yellow fever by Doctors Tarleton
and Roussell, and it was traceable to
to the feet that it had been con-
tracted from his mother who had
been TO Ocean Springs and who her
self had been i'll with o fever called
at the time typhoid malarial fever.
We learn that DR.. Sanders, ol
Patterson, who is an authority on
the disease, says the case is not gel
low fever, and also that DR.. Garter
of the United States Marine service
and DIR. @. NJ. Smith of Franklin
after examination. pronounce the
case at Patterson to be not yellow
fever.
If this be the case it follows logi-
cally that the cases at Rogville are
not yellow fever and the country
can breathe more freely.

That Rise In Wheat.

The Republicans are pointing to
the rise in wheat as an evidence Of
the great benefcence Of Republican
rule. A Republican official has just
issued a document which knocks this
claim higher, than Gilderoy ever
few bis kite. The Agricultural
Department under "Tama fire. has
bursted this Republican bubble. The
average wheat productions in Eu-
rope for the last SIX years and this
includes all the Russian crop, has
been per year, 1,428,000,00 bushels.
This compelled the Importation of
about 900, OO0,0 10 bushels each year.
The crop Tor 1897, falls $4,000, 900
bushels below the average so that
the European imports must amount
to abont 900 bushels. Meth
er India, where there is a famine.
nor Australia where an extended
drouth at planting time decreased
the area, nor Argentine which usual.
" supplies a large quota and export
much wheat. So the United States
from which the average annual ex-
ports for the preceding six years
have been 1855 ,000, 900 bushels (in-
GLIDING fonr) is called upon to sup
ply at least double that amount to
make up the wheat shortage. But
there is another factor which enters
into this condition which llama
fire" failed TO note. The rye crop
of Europe is also very short and the
Europeans are in the habit of eating
their rye instead Of distilling il and
there will be another one or two
hundred million of bushels of bread
stuff required. We can not supply
this in wheat or rye, 6ut we can in
corn and the demand for corn to ex-
port will be largely increased. The
armers q readily see that the Re
publican's claim is false, that the Law
Of supply and demand is responsible
for the advance in the price Of
cereals.
