The State Board of Health
Carefully Guard Against
Yellow Jack.

Columbia, Sept. % The matter
of guarding against the introduction
of yellow fever into the borders of
South Carolina was thoroughly dis
cussed st the meeting of the State
board of health yesterday. and from
the resolution Of Dr.. Simons. given
below. which was unanimously
adopted. it will be observed that the
strict precautions will be taken.
The local authorities in the towns
of the State will nave to comply
with the action of the State board,
and in places where there are no
fumigation apparatus the board will
instruct the authorities how to carry
on the fumigation which is ordered
by the resolution
Dr. Simons spoke at length on his
resolution. and gave the board the
benefit of his extensive experience in
such matters
Following is the resolution which
was passed without dissenting
vote
Resolved, That as some concern
is felt by several of the towns in
South Carolina, especially those on
the seacoast, as to the possible dan
ger of the introduction of yellow
fever by refugees from infected re-
gions coming in towns in the State
that are considered exempt from dan
ger of the spread of yellow fever oy
reason of the altitude of such towns

would caution the health authorities

CoIlusion Charged
BETWEEN GOV. ELLERBE
AND TRAFFIC MANA
GER CULP OF THE
SOUTHERN ROAD.
Special to The State.

Atlanta Sept. 21 -Tillman's
widely celebrated South Carolina dis
pensary law figured in very impor-
tant hearing before Judge Newman
of the United States circuit court to-
day The hearing was on bill
brought by Bluthenthal & Bickart,
through their attorneys, Glenn, SIaton
& Phillips, to compel the Southern
railroad TO carry wiskey into South
Carolina The bill. which was filed
yesterday, prayed that Judge New
man grant an order forcing. the road
TO carry the whiskey as regular
freight. Conspiracy or collusion was
charged against Governor EIlerbe of
South Carolina and Traffic Manager
Culp of the Southern road in the bill
of the plaintiffs. Attorney General
Barber of the dispensary State was
here to represent and defend the
governor.
Judge Newman deciired to grant
any order in the case at present, but
took the matter under consideration.
Original packages were the immedi-
ate cause Of the trouble which Judge
Newman was called upon to
adjust Since Judge Simon:on's
original package decision liquer deal
ers here Lave been shipping great
quantities of whiskey to South Caro-.
! lima, housing it in stores and dispos-
ing of it in original packages. The
Southern railroad has been hauling
this freight. bot on Sept. 16, it issued
an order declining freight not packed
securely enough to prevent damage
from breakage and not packed in such
manner as to answer all the require
ments of the original package law.
This shut off much of the freight
which had been shipped from Atlanta
not encased.
Bluthenthal & Bickart, local whis
key dealers, had established agencies
in the towns in South Carolina and
were hit harder by THE decision of
the roads than any other whiskey
house in the country. They establish
ed these agencies ON the strength of
Judge Simonton's decision and after
the Southern road had accepted ship.
ments of uncased goods. As the
Southern road is the only medium by
which they can reach their South
Carolina agencies they feel that they
have grievance.
They were further encouraged to
expand their business in Carolina, be-
because some time last month, when
one Of their earliest shipments of
original packages was seized, Bluthen-
thai & Bickart Immediately brought
a bill of injunction against the con-
stables to restrain them from seizing
the whiskey and Judge S:monton at
once issued an order restraining the
constabulary from interfering with or
seizipg their whiskey.
