Macon beacon., 1905-08-12

After several weeks the fever situa-
ton in the South is practically un-
changed, with the exception of several
new foci, the cause of which can be
traced in each instance to the original
foci of infection, in the French Market
| quarter of New Orleans. While the
death rate is pretty high, II Is no more
than could be expected when the To-
cality in which the bulk of the fever is
| found Is taken into consideration. In
that crowded quarter an epidemic of
Influenza would likely show as high or
a higher death rate. Heroic measures
| are being taken to stamp out the dis
ease, and general campaign OF clean
ing up and disinfection is being car
ried on throughout the Southern cities
and towns. This is the remedy that
has proven effective, and is without
| doubt the salvation of our section.
| With the good work being done this
year and continuation to begin early
| next spring. it is believed that our peo-
| pie can be freed from the influence of
this demoralizing phantom that has
cost the South millions upon millions
Of dollars The result of experiments
| In Havana, that have rid that city Of
| fever after more than one hundred
| years, prove to us that the same can
| be done here. By cleaning our com
munities of filth. standing water and
| breeding places for the mosquito, that
| Is now acknowledged as the purveyor
| Of this fever, we can live happy in the
| perfect knowledge that there is moth
| ing to fear. Let this be done in a
| thorough manner, and next year
throw open every town and city to
those from every other town and city,
forget that there is such a thing as a
shotgun quarantine, continue undls-
turbed in the pursuit of business, and
the benefit cannot be measured in dol
lars and cents. The building of the
Panama canal and the DETECTION OF
travel and business through this sec
ton will bring us that much closer to
the countries where fever RACES twelve
months in the year. If we are to quar-
antine and become panic-stricken at
The advent of single case, nothing
else Is in store for us in the future.
