 ed against the place.
 Dr. Charles A Mohr was informed that pr. wasdin had gone to Hatties- burg to examine the case. No sooner had he received this information. which came at q late hour last night, than he
 notified the police authorities and auar-
 antine officials to be doubly vigilant
 as to passengers from the suspected city. He also issued orders to the Mobile, Jackson and Kansas City Rail- road Company not to sell tickets from Hattiesburg into Alabama. Steps were also taken to put on additional guards on all trains into and out of Mobile on that road. Dr. Rhett Goode, City Health Ofscer. did exactly the same as the supervisor of quarantine on the part of this city.
 pr. Mohr stated to The Advertiser that the vigilance heretofore maintain ed by the quarantine officers VIII Tn no- wise be relaxed until all danger of the infectious disease Is passed.
 As to Pensacola. he said. the con- dfttons there are certainly deplorable. He regretted exceedingly to. learn or the discouraginG news from the city and expressed hope for better news on the morrow. So far as Alabama IS concerned, he said. there is no need for uneasiness as to Pensacola. pr. Sanders, the State Health Officer, had used every possible precaution and. ivith able. competent and conscientious officers on guard, rested easy as to in- fected persons coming across the line from Pensacola.
 Again has 1t become necessary to de- clare Atmore and Whistler free from the least suspicion of contagion.

Acker, the county health officer. and made thorough in- vestigation of that suburb. They re- ported absolutely in accordance with ths previous reports of Dr. Joseph Goldberger of the Marine Hospital and Public Health Service, and Dr. W. H. Sanders, State Health Oh1cer for Ala bama that Whistler had a clean bill of health. On Sunday Drs. Francis and Charles A. Mohr, State quarantine supervisor. visited Atmore with the same results.
 Dr. ". H. siedge. one of Mobiles best known physicians. speaking to The Advertiser representatives this morn ing as to Mobiles splendid record to date, said:
 Drs. W. H. Sanders. Charles A. Mohr. Rhett Goode and P. J. M. Acirer are to be congratulated for their splendid work in so far. warding off the dread infection. Their work has been of the very best. But, while praising these more than ordinarily vigilant officials. we should not. for a single moment. overlook the faithful quarantine guards who, day after day, and night after night. have thought only of their sworn duty-to keep out of this city. county and State, ail presons upon whom the least shadow of suspicion rested. Dr. Sledge declared the work of the quar- antine officials and especially pr. San ders, to be simply perfect and to the leader and subordinates all praise, he said, was due.
