JACKSON. Miss. Oct. 1.-THE yellow fever sit.

and the panic OF the people shows no signs
whatever OF diminution. Gov. McLaurin il a
fugitive from the infection. and when last
heard from was in the southeastern pine re.
gion Of the State. He has been ordered out Of
Brandon. his native town. where he retired for
refuge. by the town authorities. He started
for Smith county and is probably meeting the
same treatment all along the line. as fugitivcs
from Jackson are in sore repute in the State Of
Mississippi
With the outbreak OF the yellow fever epi.

and transferred the executive Departmental

two miles from Jackson. On Monday, the stu-
alton increasing in gravity. he left for Stems

took them to Brandon to his family home

his arrival assembled and in short time or
dered him to pass on. All the State officers
with one possible exception. have followed tho
example OF their official lhead. The railroad
commission. land and revenue office shut
down to-day and the incumbents fed north

The yellow fever is slowly extending its area
OF infection. Natchez. one Of the oldest and
most historic towns in the South. is reported as
infected. The city escaped the scourge in 1873.
but has fallen a victim to the present epidemic.
Several more counties have been added to the
list. and total OF eighteen cities and towns in
Mississippi are now in the grasp Of the plague.
Three interstate railroads have practically
suspended business, and number OF smaller
lines are on the verge of shutting down. With
one exception. the Illinois Central. the trunk
lines have reduced their through service to one
passenger train each way day. The State is
paralyzed industrially and will not recover
until frost. Cotton picking is delayed because
the negroes are in panic. and a late marketing
OF the crop is sure. Merchants will probably
have to request extension Of credits on fall
obligations.
In spite OF the rapid spread OF fever In in
fected places and the increasing number OF foc
reported each day the mortality has not been
heavy. Many negroes have had it who are in
cluded in the cases reported. and the disease
seldom kills one OF that race. They are for
midable more as q method OF conveying infec-
ton to whites than anything else. Fve-sixths
OF the infected localities have become 80 within
