AGAINST THE WORLD
Doors of Columbus Shut.
No One Can Enter With
out Mayors Permit.

dQOpUou Oy tuo 0ity Dool VI
Health at meeting which was
held last Thursday the city is
com pletely bottled up. and here
after it will be almost impossible
for strangers to enter her con-
fines. Under the provisions of
this resolution no one can enter
the city unless he or she pos
sesses in addition to properly
signed and sealed health certii-
cate special permit from the
Mayor. The issuance of these
permits is left entirely i'll the
discretion of the Mayor. and
those who are acquainted with
Mayor Gunter know that he will
exercise due care and will issue
permits only to those whom he
knows to be entitled TO them.
The action of the Board of
Health was taken as what was
believed to be a necessary pre-
caution to protect the interest of
Colum bus. It is known that in
one or two instances fever has
prevailed in towns and cities for
several days before it was re-
ported. and under the old regime
there was no way to protect
Colum bus agaist these newly in
fected towns, as health certii-
Gates were being issued right
along. Under the new order of
things the Mayor is the sole
arbiter of who shall or who shall
not enter the city, and if he has
the faintest suspicion that the
applicant has been in any infect
ed district no permit will be
issued. The order applies to
every one except bona fide resi-
dents of Lowndes county, who
will be permitted TO enter the
city at will.
The Board of Health also pass
ed resolution requesting the
City Council to place guards on
the dirt roads in order that the
city may be more effectually pro-
tected from refugees from in
fected points.
When the resolution and sug-
gestion of the Board of Health
were reported to the City Coun-
Gil at a meeting of that body
which was held THU sday night
the documents provoked quite
discussion among the members.
1t developed that while Mayor
Gunter favored the scheme in
toto that the members of the
Council were willing to adopt
only such resolutions as would
require all persons entering the
city to have a permit signed by
the Mayor but were not willing
TO establish dirt road quaran-
tine as suggested by the Board
of Health, as they did not deem
such a quarantine necessary just
at this time. They therefore re-
fused to put on the guards.
When the action of the Council
was reported to the Board of
Health it was decided to ask
Mayor Gunter to call for meet
ing of the two bodies in order
that their mem bers might get to
gether on the quarantine matter.
This joint meeting was held at
the City Hall Friday night. quite
a number of citizens having been
present. Mr.. w. B. Stribbling,
secretary of the Board of Health,
made forceful address in which
he urged the establishment of a |
shotgun quarantine, and Messrs.
w. 81. Carter and Joseph Peacher
made short speeches along the
same line. DIR. J. w. Lipscomb,
county health officer, was called
on, and stated that while he
thought it might become neces
sary at some time in the near
future to establish a dirt road

JOHN BURNS OPENS CAMPAIGN
Labor Leader in British Cabinet
Makes Public Address Mt
Battersea.

LONDON. Dec. 27.--John Burns, president
OF the local government board. made his
first public address since his entry into the
cabinet when he opened the election cam
paign at Battersea tonight. In a charac-
teristically courageous speech he said his
accession to office was the elevation of his
constituents to power-the honor was theirs
but the work was for him. He declared
that he would pander to no section of the
population. but would do his duty for the
benefit Of the whole community.
Mr. Burns said he had such strong SYM
pathy with all the interests of the working
classes that he had no sympathy TO spare
for the loafer, "cadger' or drunkard His
ideal was fewer work houses, smaller chart
ties, larger wages, more pleasure and less
drink.
In the smaller cities and in the larger
villages he was already appointing COM
mittees to enable the rate payers to have
their accounts prepared in such way
that he who ran might read.
He vigorously attacked what he called
"orientalized imperialism" of which
Somaliland was the fruit and South Africa
the ''rotten-ripe product" He denounced
Chinese labor as being politically dangerous,
because IL would lead to absolute chattel
slavery"

endeavors to have the ordinance passed
without publication for two weeks as pro-
vided by the city charter. lie argued at
length that the council was acting under
duress that the attempted passage OF the
ordinance was void. and that temporary
injunction should issue as prayed for.
Mr.. Cornell asserted that the attorney
for the plaintiff had not shown single
reason or ground for the granting OF a
temporary injunction. There is no need
or necessity for an injunction a this time.
IL the contract price is excessive that
can only be shown On the final hearing of
the case. Really the only question in the

Mr.. Council emphaticaly denied that any
conspiracy had been shown or that the
five councilmen had not acted in good faith
in every step taken toward the passage OF
the ordinance. He gave it as his conclu-
sion that no action Of any kind was neces-
sary on committee report before proceed
ing to act on an ordinance or any matter
