THE FEAR OF FEVER MAKES BAR
BARIANS.--AWFUL DEED.
A White rIan i'm this State Burned to
Death Because he Was Suspected
of Having Yellow Fever.

of Having Yellow Fever.
A special to the New Orlean;
Picayune from Jackson, Miss.
dated Sunday, says:
An unknown white man, sup
pos ed to be yellow fever patient,
was burned up today in negro
church in Lefiore county.
This news reached here tonight
in letter from DR.. L. B. Harri-
son, health officer of Tallahatchie
county.
The man was found sick yester-
day by negroes who had gone to
prepare the church for divine
services today.
The case was reported to DIR.
Harrison and he reported him as
suspicious case.
The doctor left, and when he
returned be found the churches
in ashes and found a few charred
bones to tell the awful story.
1t is not positive that the poor
fellow had yellow fever, and il is
not sure that he was dead when
the church was fired, but ungov-
erned fear suggested the deed,
and Mississippi has to answer fer
it. This is forcible illustration
of the unreasonable panic now
affiiCting this State.

MISSISSIPPI APPEALS FOR AID.

Fever fright is fast depopulat-
ing the central portion of Miss:s-
sippi. At Jackson ninety per cent
of the population has fled, and ten
coaches of refugees pulled ont of
Natchez Friday night. Business
| is naturally suspended and the Ia
boring classes are without means
of support. Quarantine IS maxi
ing the situation more trying, con-
sequently starvation is setting ID.
The refugees are carrying thous-
ands of dollars away--money that
will never return. Realizing the
situation the State Board OF
Health has appealed for aid to the
Federal Government. The fol
lowing was sent out Saturday:
''To the President of the United
States, Washington:f
"In consequence of the yellow
fever and quarantine there is al
ready great destitution in stricken
communities of this State. At
this place 80 per cent, OF the Wiil0e
population are absent, and seve-
raj thousand negroes are out OF
employment and subsistence.
Many of them are cordoned in ORR
ginalIy infected districts. Local
and personal contributions have
ceased, so that the situation Is one
of increasing distress. Under a
State statute the Board Of Health
is authorized, with the consent
of the Governor when occasion
demands, to call upon the general
Government for such financial
and medical aid as necessities aris-
ing out of any epidemic may re-
quire. We could from this n :

A Communication.

VIII you allow me a word of mild
protest against paragraph which an
peared in your issue of Yesterday
relative to the subject of the canteen
system.
IL seems TO me you are entirely mis-
taken when you say those who oppose
Inc canteen system do not know what
they are talking about The first
question is one Of health. Medical
science Is unit Gas much as ii ever
Is on one thinS) that alcohol is never a
dIet always poison-alWays a club
never stimulant. There are times
when it is legitimate to use if as a
medicine. never a time when il be-
comes a diet. General Miles is not a
1901, a fanatic. a clereyman-nor 50
lar as ! know a prohibitionist He
mas issued a general order to the army
IN which he asserts that the history
OF other armies has demonstrated
mat in hot climate abstinence from
the use of intoxicating drinks is essen
tldi 10 continued health and efficiency
lie closes this order with these words
In this the most important hour OF
eminent from all those in its service
that they should not only render the
most earnest efforts for its honor and
welfare, but their full physical and in
tellcctual force should he given to their
public duties uncontaminated by any
indulgence that shall dim. stultify.
weaken or impair their faculties and
strength In any particular"
General Kitchener. who is in com
nand Of the British troops in the Sou
dan, is neither a fanatic, yet the only
stimulant he allows his troops is tea
We are opposed TO the canteen in
the camp for just the same reason we
are opposed to yellow fever and small
pox i'll the army. 1t is not the narrow,
bigoted reason some people imagine
II is.
In view Of the above we think the
plea for the cantecn in the army has
no more reason behind it than the
woman who keep a brothel has for her
conduct when she pleads that it allows
her to eat better food and wear better
clothes. The United States govern
ment is not such paupersed affair
that il cannot afford TO feed its sol
diers in such way as to knock the
bottom out of the claim that our SOL
dicrs have to guZZle beer So as to save
money for bystanders. The officers of
the American army surely nave brains
enough to provide the little necessi
ties of stationery ink needles etc, etc,
without at the same time running a
saloon. Many mother has given the
awful sacrifice in this hour Of ouH
country's need OF her only son. We
owe it to our God our country and our
selfcs respect that we hand back that
boy at the close 0f the war Ia her and
the community from which he came as
free from sins OF body and soul as
possible.
At the risk of seeming unk!nd and
self righteous | cannot restrain my
self from expressing the conviction
that if the public press would only
spend half the time hitting this devil
in angel garment that it spends in
lame excuses for it, it would better
serve the soldiers and the country
Please pardon any unkind feeling
which may seem to Turk in these
words. | know your heart is in the
right place but l think your Judgment
in this matter just little warped.
Very truly yours.
