Weather Somewhat Warmer.

Weather Somewhat Warmer.
The weather was somewhat warmer to-
day, a rise of about u degrees over the
temperature of yesterday morning taking
place. and the forecast is for cloudiness
and the probability of showers tomorrow.
The rise has been general over the state.
Nevertheless the frost distribution was SO
widespread that sentiment Is constantly
growing in favor of a general lifting of
guarantees, many parishes being willing
to be guided by what their neighbors will
do. From Mississippi comes the news that
If conditions continue to improve and
there is further promise of cooler
weather, practically all the bars will be
removed by the 10Th. In the rural districts
of that state as in the towns, the people
are anxious to have all obstacles removed,
the belief being that 1t is too late in the
season for serious infection to be carried,
now that it has been demonstrated in so
many communities how certain 1t is that
sporadic cases can be controlled.
DIR. White returned today from Mobile,
where he talked over the conditions with
the health officers there. AS a result of
the conference all southbound trains will
now be permitted to pass through Mo-
bile without delay. The arrangements as
to northbound trains were not completed
but DR. White thinks that all restrictions
week. so that passengers will be able to
enter the cars here and go to their desti-
nations without interruption. DR.. White
said he found the Alabama officials anx-
ious to do all in their power to relieve the
existing situation, but unwilling to take
any chances until all danger was ~assed.
DR. White has decided to go to Jacr>on,
to talk over the Mississippi situation with
DR.. Hunter and Governor Vardaman
More Oyster Smokers Coming.
Arrangements have been made here for
the passage through the city of anothe"
train load of oyster shuckers from Balti-
more on their way to Avery Island.
Shuckers are arriving also on the Gulf
coast, and with restrictions being daily
lightened the oyster factories in both
Louisiana and Mississippi will soon be
running at their full capacity.
Sugar grinding in Louisiana started yes
terday in East Baton Rouge parish. From
now on the sugar mills will begin work
throughout the sugar district. There is
only slight obstruction to the movement
of labor into the sugar fields and hun
dreds have gone into them during the
past few days. shortage still exists in
practically every parish but with the
forces being constantly added to Ii is
expected that no injury to the crops will
result from the want of labor to ham
die it.
The local express offices here today
received notices from many towns in
Mississippi and Louisiana to the effect
that hereafter express matter will be ac-
cepted. A large number of towns.
throughout the fever, have taken such
matter forwarded in fumigated cars, but
others have refused 1t on the ground
that 1t might carry mosquitoes. The ex-
press superintendent give out the opin-
Ion that within the next few days their
business will have been completely re-
sumed.
DIR. Corrupt returned to the city from
Patterson today. He was sent there when
matters were represented to be in de-
plorable condition. DIR. Corrupt said to-
day that he believed that the Patterson
fever was now under control and would
soon be extinct
