 White GirI-Women Fight.

Centreville. October 23-(Special. )-Last night Sheriff Crawford placed in jail here negro by the name of George Murphy charged with assault with intent to ravish a young white girl in the northern part of the county. The girl was walking alone when the negro stepped from behind a tree in front of her and ordered her to stop.

 The people in the community where the affair occurred are very much excited over the matter and talk of lynching was freely indulged in. The negro was car ried before Justice Gentry at Blocton. He waived preliminary investigation and his bond was fixed at one thousand doi- lars.
 On Tuesday afternoon of this week a shooting scrape occurred at Brent, vii. lage about a mile west of Centreville, in which white women were the participants.

new TYPHOID THEoRY.

DR. KOCH, the German bacteriologist,
u has recently come out more strong
" with his new theory regarding the
propagation Of typhoid fever. Briefly.
he declares almost in so words tnat the
purity OF the milk and water supplies
are matters of secondary Importance
in typhoid epidemics and that the dis
case is communicated chiefly by the
contact of healthy persons with those
Sunering from the disease. He BE-
lieves, Of course, that the milk and
water supplies should be sa~feguarded.
but he does not attach to them the inn
poTtapce that physicians IN this coun-
try attach to them.
Inc Revue Scientidque reports some
OF DR.. Koch's Investigations in Treves.
There were seventy-twO cases of ty-
phOid in the city, Of which fifty-three
were among children. All Of the latter
/ cases were attributed to association
among children at school and TO visits
to sick persons. for the reason that the
water supply Of the place is pure.
Heretofore Treves has never been free
from typhoid, but DID. Koch claims that
he was able 10 wipe it completely
/ after three months, and now, six
months later, not another case has ap-
peared. The repOrt continues:
This was accomplished by ~isolating
the typhoid patients in the same man.

from a viruIeutly contagious disease.

any other. for that matter. It has been
demonstrated very clearly that. in the
language of a local physician, You
can't get typhoid unless you first set

lus. 1t has also been demonstrated that
IL is hard to acquire the bacillus except
