IS NO CAUSE FOR ALARM

Special Dispatch to The Age-Herald
 Montgomery, Aug. 13.-Apropos of the of- ficial report of the existence of yellow fever at Franklin, La.. City Health Officer Woftel has directed that, until further mo- tice, all incoming trains from the south shall be guarded by quarantine officers, who are instructed to prevent any person from the infected district from coming into the city. It is not believed that vel low fever can get into Montgomery this season, and if it should it will not be at tended with the same degree of fear and dread as heretofore. The people of Mont gomery learned by experience last season that it was not such horrible thing after all.
 The Third Alabama
 State Health Officer Saunders, assisted by Dr. Purviance, the surgeon of the regi- ment, has just completed an inspection of the camp of the Third Alabama (colored) Volunteers near Mobile, and reports that he found there no cause for alarm. It had been reported to the governor that typhoid fever was apparently epidemic in the camp and the executive promptly dispatched Dr. Saunders to ascertain the facts The health officer reports that the camp is in healthy condition; that seven or eight cases of typhoid fever exist there but that the victims appear to have gone into the camp with the disease germ already in their systems. pr. Saunders opinion is that the Mobile camp is one of the health- fest and best in the country.

 Boy Drowned 7@oet Yesterday afternoon about sundown a negro boy, apparently about 20 years of age while in front of the eddy where the sewer empties into the Alabama river, lost his footing and fell in the still rising river and sunk almost immediately. There were but a few boys there besides him, and it was impossible to render him any assistance nor was there any skiff near by in which to drag for the body. His name and identi- ty have not been ascertained up to this time.

WILL BE A DEMOCRAT .
An energetic effort is being made

An energetic effort is being made
by few politicians to have the dem
ocratic convention tender the nomi-
nation Of Representative to Pierce
Eackett. We do not know that Dir.
Hackett is a party to such a scheme.
That it is being attempted we have
the most positive evidence. We have
10 doubt that it originated is joke
and the gentlemen who are so indus
triously advocating it now will lie
glad to have it considered joke
after the convention il over. Mr..
Hackelt is q lice, clever old gentle
man and If he had remained with
the democratic party, or had come
back AID declared his intention to
affiliate with that party in the ia
ture, his name would be entitled to
Tue consideration ia a democratic
convention. But he is not t. demo
crat and makes no pretenses Of being
one. He informed Us only recently
that 'We intend to beat tbs demo.
Gratis this year by combining with
the republicans" Imbued with such
o sentiment he can not honorably
accept O nomination on the democrat
ic ticket and a convention composed
OF true and loyal democrats will be
a long way from Offering him a nom
ination for anything. He left the
party at time when he could do it
the most harm by such a course,
and was largely instrumental in de-
featiug us in the next campaign
thereafter. His nomination now
would not insure a single populist
vote for the ticket. Hon. Geo. B.
Ellis made Bates county as good a
representative as it ever had, and
every vote cast in that body reflected
the sentiments of a large majority
OF his people, Hon. Jas N. Sharp
is talented gentleman, we'll quail
fed to represent our people. Both
are good democrats, have made
straightforward, honorable cam.
paigns and one or the other should
and will be nominated.
