The following dispatch from New
York, clipped from the Atlanta Consti-
tuition, will throw some light on the
subject:
New York, Sept. 16. Vacations spent
In small farm houses, poorly ventilated,
with bad drainage and contaminated
water supplies, are declared by several
leading physicians Of this city TO threat
en- an epidemic Of typhoid fever during
the autumn. The doctors declare that
stringent measures may be necessary
to prevent q great amount Of sickness
from these causes among persons who
spent their vacations in the country,
supposedly enjoying q change Of air
and fresher food than they get in the
city.
Both cases Of typhoid developed here
were ladies staying alone (that Is, no
man at hOuse) in cottages, and, because
they were afraid, the windows and
doors were barricaded every night,
leaving absolutely no ventilation to the
sleeping apartments. 1t is therefore
perfectly plain that they brought on the
trouble themselves by shutting out the
ventilation, for no one tOhO eVer stopped
at the hotel for the tlOeive years u has
been open has developed any thing Of
the kind. We invite proof to the con-
trary II It can be made.
Ducks and geese are already coming
in. After the full moon there will be
fairly good shooting on this part of the
coast.
We have during the past week had a
couple from Miami, who came here
(nearly 600 miles) for Panacea water.
They were highly pleased and benefited
Quarantine has made 1t very dull here
for couple Of months, but, from in
quiries now coming in, It looks like
hunters will be tumblinR over each
other to get here the frstof the season.

Mr.. Editor As there seems to be
some inquiry for the name Of the writer
of the article published in your issue Of
the 9th instant calling attention TO the
injustice of appointing teachers for our
county schools from distant States when
the places could have been filed by our
own comfy people just as well-the
article headed "A Glaring Injustice"
and signed "VarnOna." You may state
that ! wrote that article, and that |
formed that the $50 was not sent to pay
the travelling expenses Of these teach
ers from a distance, but that an extra
So per month will be added TO their pay,
which amounts TO about the same In the
end, except it will make the act legal.

LEON HIGH SCHOOL.
Increased Attendance, Which PleRses
and PuExlss Prof. WidOmAn.

Circumstances prevented Us from not
ing, except very briefly, in last weeks
issue the opening Of Leon High School,
but representative of The True Dem
ocrat visited the school this week and
learned that everything is going on in
good shape.
The enrolment is S26, as against 2AO
at this time last year, and Principal
Wideman is sorely puzzled to account
for the increase Of 86 pupils, as the
number drawn from the Florida State
College enrollment-26-ise exceeded by
the number of pupils enrolled in the
model school-lst, End and 3rd grades
of the new college, Strangely enough,
also, the increase Is confined chiefly TO
the 9Th, 7th and 9th grades. The high
school grades-9th, 10th and 1lth--con-
tain 46 pupils, there being none in the
18th grade.
Principal Wideman states with con-
siderable enthusiasm that, in an expe-
rience covering twenty years, he has
never been better satisfied with a fac
ulty than he is with the present one.
and he is especially proud of the teach.
erS in the highest and primary grades.
In the former he has Prof. Keith, late
of Georgia, who comes with the highest
Of recommendations; Miss Isabella Goss.
late of Virginia, who comes OF q family
Of distinguished educators, is q Rradu-
ate of the celebrated Hollins Institute
Of that State, and took = course, sub
rosa, under her uncle, who was mem
Der Of the faculty, at the University of
Virginia, the president stating that she
was entitled to diploma, and the only
reason why she could not receive one
was that none are granted to women.
Assisting these two is Miss Carrie M.
Brevard, whose qualifications are too
well known TO require recital.
The primary department Is under the
charge Of Miss Elizabeth Washburn,
late Of Louisville, KY, assisted by Miss
Hennie Chaires and Miss Jennie Bre-
ward. Miss Washburn is q thorough
kindergarten expert, being a graduate
OF the Kentucky Training School, and
for four years had charge of primary
work there, and comes with the highest
testimonials to her ability.

Oct. 5.-M Augustus Brown, the

on It are p. A. Dignan, G. H. Barnes,
Sigmund Hess and John N. G. Stockton,
each Of whom qualified in the sum
Of 81, 500.
The Metropolis, of October 8, says :
This appointment will prove very dis
appointing to the other applicants, and
also to most of Governor Broward 3
friends in the city. Mr.. Browns friends
say that he will take care of the posi-
ton, and that he is competent to handle
it. They say that he will select a COM
petent Office force, and will make rec.
ord that will be creditable. Mr. Brown
will hold the Office until the election in
November of next year, when there will
likely be several candidates. The office
is one which IL is difficult to fill accepta-
bly,. and Mr.. Brown now has the oppor-
tunity of showing whether he is equal
to the emergency or not. Mr.. Brown is
a native of Mandarin, this county. He
was formerly a teacher in the public
schools of Jacksonville then lawyer,
and then supervisor of registration. The
last position he resigned, after being
appointed private secretary of Governor
Broward, and moved his family to Tai
lahassee. He is about 80 years of age,
a good scholar, temperate and moral.

BY applying an antiseptic dressing
to wounds, bruises, burns and like in
iuries before inflammation sets in, they
may be healed before maturation and in
about one-third the time required by the
old treatment. This is the greatest tri-
umph and discovery of modern surgery.
Chamberlain Pain Balm acts on this
same principle. II is an antiseptic, and
when applied to such injuries, causes
them to heal very quickly. II also allays
the pain and soreness and prevents any
