Some of the Southern newspapers are OBJ
jecting to the use of the word South
when reference Is made to the neighborhood
IN which. the. yellow. fever now. prevails
They claim that an injustice and injury is
done the whole South i'm this way, as Il
leads many people to think that the disease
is epidemic in every one of the Southern
States, whereas ii is prevalent in only
part of Louisiana and Mississippi. Thes,
newspapers are partly right in blaming
others for this practice of connecting the
South and yellow fever and they are partly
to blame themselves for it. II is the habit
of the Southern newspapers to refer con
Stantly to the South entirety, as
something apart from everything else i'm the
Union. and other newspapers have uncon-
sciously caught the habit. Let the practice
be abandoned by the South itself. Let II
refer to an event as occurring in Mississippi
or in South Carolina or wherever 1t may
happen, and then there will be no danger
of the social and business interests of a
large section being injured by an event
which is only local in SIS influence.
