DOCTORS DISAEREE,

There continues to he some doubt In
legality as cSiheither or not ahe disease
aiUw prevailing in the far South Is really
the genuine yellow fever. There are
physicians both in New Orleans ana
Ocean Springs who declare THAT Ut Is
not yellow fever. Some OF them call II
heTruorrhasfs fever, others peraricious
fever, and one New Orleans expert calls
1t sun fever. which is fever about mid
way between denguc and yellow fever
and lis oftener found in the coast cities
Of India than anywhere else.
As the Savannah News observes, it Is
remarkable fact THAT 1.-THE fever pre-
vailed for several weeks Mt Ocean
Springs before there was any suggestion
THAT 1t was yellow fever. And the tteo-
ry that ut was yellow fever was not ac-
cepted until DR.. Gupteras THE marine
hospital expert, pronounced IL yellow fe-
YER after an autopsy of one Of the VIC
tins Of 1.-THE disease. Even after the au-
topsy two OF the physicians who were
port OF the conclusion reached under
protest. They said some Of The most
important characteristics OF yellow fever
were not found.
ut is often q difficult 1natter when the
yellow fever first makes it's appearance
10 distinguish it from some ether kinds
of fever. Our contemporary cites that a
Number of years a,go-in 1854 fever
appeared in Plaquinline parish, Louis
dana, and extended a long way up the
Mississippi river.
Eminent physicians diagnosed 1t as
yellow fever, and so eminent a yellow
fever expert as Dr. Sternbcrg of the
untted States army was inclined to the
belief that 1T was THAT much dreaded die
ease. The best yellow fever expert in
New Orleans alt that time was DIR.
Drums, who made a very careful dag
1iosiS of the fever, and declared most
alphabetically that tit was not yellow f.
yer. His diagnosis was generally ac-
cepted. LIT ds not at all remarkable.
hberefore, that there is great difference
OF opinion among physicians as 10
whether or not 1.-THE fever prevailing in
New Orleans and other localities on tho
gulf coast lis yellow fever,
In the opinion of The Virginian there
as no doubt whatever that The disease
NOW prevailing in the South and Gulf
States IS yellow fever, but, as the News
remarks. whether 1t is yellow fever or
not DIT Is wise 10 take all possible pre-
eautfons against ito deal with It, in
fact, as If there was no doubt about II
ce!rg yellow fever. Tt is Of a mild TYNE
now and may continue ITO be so, but no
one can say with amy degree Of certainty
THAT DIT will not become malignant be-
fore Ut runs Its course There appears

THE GROWING PROSPERITY OF
T2IES OuTB.

The Portland Oregonian declares In
no uncertain manner that "the grow
Ing prosperity OF our Southern States is
| row the leading fact in our natural
life"
This Is praise, indeed. from an i'm
looked for source. 1t declares that there
Is great gain OF direct foreign trade
from the ports OF our Southern States,
and makes comparisons to show that
this gain much exceeds that from North
ern ports. During the fiscal year ended
June 80. 1897, the export trade Of the
United States exceeded that Of the next
preceding year by Sl89, 100000 1--WE avoid
broken numbers); of which total in
crease SlOl 900, 900 was from twenty-one
Southern ports, ard sGS,OOO.OOO from all
other ports Of the United States. To
state the case differently, but with the
same result, twenty-one Southern ports
exported s37O, 600, 900 worth of merchan-
disc. an increase Of SOL 900, 900 over the
exports OF the year next preceding, while
all other ports OF the country exported
merchandise valued at S6S2,000.000,
a. gum VI OifS SuS,oVotVVv. w HliC
the exports from New Orleans, Calves
ton and Baltimore increased s62,000,000,
those from the three greatest Northern
ports-New York, Boston and Philadel-
phia-lhcreased only 500. GOO, 900.
This gain OF exports from the South
Will be maintained and increased. The
enormous productive capacity Of our
Southern States is but Just beginning to
show itself. Stupendous resources in
agriculture lie at the bottom or 1t, and
to these many OF the reading forms of
manufacturing industry are being rap
idly superaddtd. or It's cotton crop of
100000 or 1900, 900 bales, the South is
now working UP over 100000 in her own
factories, and her iron and steel indus
try Is making prodigious strides. In
1896 the production was 1,S33,235 tons Of
pig, against 1000 tons twenty-five years
| ago. y correspondent of the New York.
Evening Post says that the fact that
Alabama and Tennessee can sell pig iron
at the furnace, with profit, at s. a ton
| while in England 1t cannot be sold at less
than $3.50, is the ruling fact in the iron
situation at the present time.
Returning 10 the agriculture Of the
South there is q matter OF prime i'm
| portance in the fact that her crops al
ways meet market. Her great sta
ples-cotton, rice, sugar and tobacco
are products that enter into the COM
merce OF the world. Food of every
kind she produces for her own con-
sumption, and her minor crops of fruits
and vegetables, In advance of those of
the Northern States, find an early mar
ket and get the best prices. 1.-THE grow
.ng prosperity of our Southern States is
now the leading fact In our national If. :"
or its ultlmates no one can now form
any possible conception; but the progress
! IL is making, taken .n connection with
thought of the area, climate, productive
capacity and variety OF production in
these States, may suggest that the won
ders of development are not vet ex-
hausted In this Western world.
