In Accord With Our Views,

Judge J. A. p. Campbell, formerly
Chief Justice Of the Supreme Court
OF this State in a private letter, dated
Jackson, Nov. II, 1899, in reference TO
the State board OF health among 9TH
cr things he says:
Il am in full accord with you in de-
string to abolish the State board OF
health and the ex-spurts, DIS you face
tiously call them, and stop the great
expense Of those useless and hurtful
things. There are "A good many other
hurtful things that should be abolish
ed, but there is little ground for hope
that the correction OF evils affecting
the State will be applied as boldly as
her good requires.
sour people seem TO me to be divid-
ed into two classes. The great major
ity struggling amid adverse conditions
for a living land a very hard one in
many instances) and the minority
striving TO pile up MORE" and neitll-
er is much concerned about public af-
fairs, and this state Of Things is likely
to continue until multiplied evils
shall cause an awakening that will
produce a change. Tens OF thousands
OF acres OF dollars wrung from the
people by taxation are annually spent
uselessly, and yet it is impossible to
arouse popular interest or the sub
ject. The struggle for subsistence
and the greed for gain swallow up
everything-pelf has largely taken the
place Of patri0tiSm-Otfice is sought
mainly for the money supposed to be
in it, and the idea Of public service
for the good OF the country is well
nigh obsolete in many quarters. The
standard OF public and private moral.
ity has been greatly lowered OF late
years, and what would have damned d
man years ago is o regarded as
smart. All this degradation is ascrib.
able to the destruction OF the institu-
tiOn OF slavery, which ''leveled down
to IA low plane great multitudes, who,
while the institution existed, were
saved from such influences as have de-
mOralized and corrupted"

DIR. Sam D. Robbins, of Vicksburg
in the course OF an interview at Jack
son the other day, said: 'Our only So
luton OF the yellow fever difficulty,
lies in a national quarantine and the
annexation OF Cuba. If qu~arantines
were placed under the direction of
the government, they would be
established with more reason and
common sense, and be more satisfac-
tory to the general public. Our yellow
fever is imported from Cuba and the
government should annex the island,
divide it into sanitary districts and
give it thorough cleaning up. AS
long as yellow fever exists in Cuba we
will have 1t in the United States, and
the South is the greatest sufferer"
