that he could do nothing without the
sanction and invitation of the South Caro-.
lima state authorities.
The Mayor felt that he could not proper
ly address a communication upon such
question to the Governor of South Caro-
lima, but he could with all propriety, ad-
dress Gov. Gambler and through him,
reach Gov. McSweeny. The following is
what Mayor Myers wrote to Gov. Gambler:
Smallpox exists in epidemic form on
that part of the South Carolina coast
which is Closest to our state line. The
disease prevails to an alarming extent
among the negroes on the sea islands Of
South Carolina, and our health authorl-
ties are constantly picking up cases in
this city; in nearly every instance the
disease could be traced to ST. Helena
Island, or some other island on the coast.
These islands have no commercial in
terest to the towns in South Carolina and
these people transact all their business in
this city. They come here on steamers
and small sailing vessels and they are
filling our smallpox hospital with the dis
ease, causing a great expense to the city.
Il would ask you to communicate with
the Governor of South Carolina in order
that he can confer with Surgeon General
Wyman, of the Marine Hospital Service,
who will at once take charge of the situa-

votion to his former master-Mr Joseph
Clay.
1t was one of Daniels last requests that
Mr.. Clay should come to him from Flori-
da and see him once again before he died;
and "a pathetic little note from the old
servant, making this request, is still in
his former masters possession. This af
lection between master and servant was
one of the really beautiful features of
the days of slavery, and in the passing
away of Daniel Grant another relic of
the old South has drifted into the sea
of the Great Beyond, leaving only ten

70 the people of Savannah and especially
10 the members of the Independent Pres
oyterian Church where his ministrations
as a sexton did much to promote the
comfort of the congregation.
1t is not, however, in this connection
that ne will be best remembered but in
MS life of domestic service during those
brilliant ante bellum days when the light
and color of the country centered in the
Southern states. Never has that time re-
ceived its fullest need of recognition
either In fiction or in history, and per-
maps 1t could be most adequately pic
tured by describing the surroundings of
life like Daniel Grants
He was born in Bryan county about
twenty miles from Savannah and was
owned by the Clay family-but neither 10
Daniel nor to his ancestors was there the
slightest opprobium connected with the
thought of slavery. The man himself
was of the purest African blood, his
grandfather, Larry Grant. having been
an African nobleman of high degree. who
during his childhood was stolen by a hos
TIE tribe. The father of the family being
away from home, Larry and his mother
ana sister were captured and sold into
foreign slavery-the women were sent to
some French possession while Larry went
to America. 1t was his good fortune to be
bought by the Clays of Bryan county, and
when ne grew up he married a woman
belonging to a family who lived near the
Clays. Shortly after this marriage the
owners of Larry's wife moved from the
state, and in order to prevent the separa-
ton of husband and wife the Clays
bought the wife. This was not an uncom-
mon thing to do, Mrs. Stowe to the con-
trary.
The gratitude of the man Larry was
unbounded and for years he served the
family with stately dignity and showed
the insignia of his rank and breeding in
the old country by his fidelity and 10y
atty in the new. These traits were trans
mitted to his descendants and Daniel
Grant was only trying to pay the debt
of gratitude owed by his grandfather
when he served the Clay family well and
faithfully all during the Civil War and
even for years after it was over-never
swerving in his allegiance even when
freedom came.
1t was only after his service were no
longer needed that he took the place of
sexton. but neither the changes of time

DANGER IN HIGH EXPLOSIVES.
To Them Capt. White Attributes
Many Accidents to Guns

Many Accidents to Guns.
Capt. j. P. White, probably one Of the
best authorities in the city on guns and
cunning called the attention of a Morn
ing News reporter yesterday 20 the great
number of accidents that have occurred
recently among huntsmen. Within the
last few weeks several guns, Capt. White
said, have been brought to him damaged
in various ways, one of them even hav-
ing had one of it's barrels blown COM
pletely off.
The fact of the matter, said Capt.
White, is that there are a great many
guns in use that are constant menace
to those who shoot them. They are mostly
used by boys, probably given to them by
their parents who paid for them small
price, feeling that it would be useless to
buy a really fine gun for a boy. 1t is
right here, said Capt. White that the
danger lies, for these guns, fitted mostly
with cheap Belgian or Birmingham bar
rels, were intended 20 have used in them
no more powerful explosive than the or
binary black powder, but their users, not
knowing this. are constantly using in
them the modern high explosives, and thus
putting themselves in jeopardy every time
they go shooting.
Not only should the modern nitro-pow-
der never be used m a cheap or medium
priced gun but not even in very fine
gun, unless it had been made especially
for using such powder. AS an instance
of this Capt. White cited the recent case
of fine Purdy gum the muzzles of which
were blown off because they were not
adapted to high explosives The danger
is a very real one he said. and parents
who have the welfare OF their boys at
heart would do well either 40 see that
they have guns especially intended for
the use of nitro powder. or else that they
use only common powder in cheap guns.

Nearly all the cases OF smallpox that
find their way to Savannah come from thc

has long been recognized by the health
authorities of Savannah, and efforts have
been made to bring about the eradication
Of the disease upon those islands. The

deal with the cases AFTER they reach SA-
vannah. but they would like to see meas

Gov. McSweeny will confer with the
state board of health of South Carolina
about the matter and the condition will
doubtless be made known to the national
authorities.
No occasion for alarm exists in the
correspondence about smallpox. There
are fewer cases at the Savannah pest
house than there have been for long
while Only four or five are cared for
there now.
