ing that. time citisens of New orleans scattered in every direction and sue. ceeded in creating wild panic in all nearby States and cities. If the Gov ernment had been in charge the first case would have been announced. imme- diate steps taken to protect the outside world and the general alarm now exist ing would never have been created. People have confidence in the thorough ness of Government control. while they are justly suspicious of State and munf- cipal authorities, because in the very nature of things they are ovef-zealous to prevent the publication of suspicious and often real--cases for fear of the harm such publicity will do to local Tn. terests and the injury 1t will tnnict upon business. People everywhere un- derstand this because they have been more or less guilty of the same remtss- ness and selfish secretiveness them. selves. Government authorities would be influenced by no such selfish con- alterations. Its aim would be to pro- tect the general public-all the people.
 Maybe the experience of the demorai- ization occasioned by the present epi- demic in New Orleans may lead to more thorough and exacting quarantine laws. Not only Is the health of the southern country menaced by the present lack Of system but business and trade stand to be greatly disturbed if not totally de- moralized thereby. Let Uncle Sam have charge of epidemics-their prevention aS well their treatment.

AN UNFORTUNATE INCIDENT.

In handling the unfortunate yellow fever development yesterday morning The Advertiser took every precaution to keep cool itself. and to persuade everybody else to keep cool It was our aim to do our part in demonstrat- ing that there was no occasion for alarm here.
 It is unfortunate that this program was to a certain extent upset by some irresponsible newsboys about daylight yesterday morning. They went into resi- dence districts crying Advertiser ex- tra" in an alarming way. There was no extra issue by this paper yesterday morning, and no instruction was given the riewsboys to make any sensational cries.
 Precautions have been taken to pre- vent a repetition of the occurrence. as far as lies in our power. and we do not believe 1t will occur again.

,ENsNLnss GUARANTEES AGAINST
 MONTGOMERY.


 It is a matter of great surprise that a number of towns in Alabama have quarantined against Montgomery at this time.
 It was to have been expected that the latter-day knowledge of the method by which yellow fever is conveyed. toseth- CT with the facts given out by the Board of Health of this city and the State Health officer. would have sat- isfied the intelligent men in charge of affairs all over the State. But it seems that much of the old-time panic over the disease still prevails, and hence the Quarantines.
 It is especially surprising that Birm- ingham has gone wild at this time. In 1897 she insisted that she had no yellow fever, and has been boasting about 1t ever since. Only a few days ago she asked the State health authorities to exclude her from the declaration of the State quarantine against New Orleans. Now as soon as one imported case is found in Montgomery. Birmin gham loses her head and puts on quaran- | tine.
 On the other hand 1t Is gratifying to find that Mobile and Selma. both of which had an abundance of fever in 1897, have decided that the facts here 0o not warrant quarantine on the part of those cities. Evidently the health authorities and officials in those cities are cool, calm and sane. Their exam pie ought to have an effect on Birming- ham and other towns. There IS no sense in a stampede at this time. The Board of Health of Montgomery has been honest with the public. out of the city as well as in It. That body has told the truth. the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. There has been but one case of yellow fever here. that was imported, and it was in the town only one night. Every known scientific precaution against spread of the dis- ease has since been observed. We don't believe there will be a second case re- suiting from that single slip. The great bulk of the people of Montgomery are sitting steady in the boat, and there is no wisdom or common sense in any other course.

Increase of Savings.

What are the people doing with their money in these glad times or abound, /, ing prosperity? Turn to the report oi H New York for the last year, just issued by Superintendent Kilburn, and find there your answer. The people are treasuring their earnings in the say ings banks: and not only that, for In the last year these savings earned nearly forty-two million dollars for them in interest. The savings banks of the State of New York distributed this immense sum among their de- positors, remember, not the savings banks of the entire country. though the figures sound exceedingly large at first hearing.
 posit in the savings banks of this State is over one and quarter billion dol- lars. The rate of increase during the year ended June 30 was larger than ever before. and 1t was the record year eighty-six millions of dollars were put away in those twelve months to swell the interest bearing hoard of the work CTS; and of this fifty-two millions were
 No better index of the times could be had. The last best previous year in the history of the savings banks or tne State was 1889, when seventy-one mll- lion dollars were saved.
 A large portion of these savings, to be sure, Is in the city of Greater New York where the fifty-odd savings banks contain several hundred millions of dol lars, which constantly are being added to. The very general establishment of the four per cent interest rate on say ings has been a great inducement to the thrifty to accept this method of accumulation instead of looking for a higher interest rate in investments that carry more risk. The savings banks most of them with limit of three thousand dollars for any single depo- sitor-appeal directly to the masses; and 1t is from their earnings that the rapid accumulations are being made. While there is probably no part of the State lacking in its additions to the savings bank deposits. the figures are most significant of the prosperity and thrift prevailing among the working people of this city.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 3, 1905.
OF AND ABOUT MOSQUITOES.

One of the strangest things in con- nection with medical science IS the fact that only very recently has 1t been cated by mosquitoes and in no other way. The doctors have been fighting yellow fever in this country almost ever since the continent was discovered. We have accounts of violent epidemics in Mexico almost four centuries ago of what was undoubtedly this disease. -> and itN has been known in various DOT. tions of this continent as long as Eu- ropeans have been here. It is equally true that mosquitoes have been familiar objects all the time, and the scientists have divided them into families and sub -families. have told us all about their origin their nature and their hab- its for centuries. As to their disagree able style of making themselves known to humanity we can say that we have not needed the services of any insect ologists to enlighten us.
 AlI yet. while experts and laymen have bean familiar with both yellow fever and mosquitoes the intimate con- nection between the two has been so lately made clear that we may almost speak of 1t as an occurrence of yester- day. In fact, we may say that 1t was only established by the experiments and Investigations carried on around and in Havana a year or two ago. It was thus established beyond the possibility of dispute. apparently, that the fever is carried and communicated by the mosquitoes and in no other way It cannot be conveyed by bedding. cloth ing or personal contact. In short, there seems now no reason to doubt the con- clusion that the disease is conveyed and communicated by a certain variety of the mosquito family, and in no other manner.
 All this being true there can be no doubt as to what should be done. If it were positively known that some dead ly disease could be carried from place to place by English sparrows, and by no other means, it would not require much titme to exterminate the spar rows. To get rid of the other Is a more difficult problem, but it is not impos- sible. We know how and where they breed. and how they can be prevented from multiplying, and Knowing all this the next thing is to wage e vigorous war on the entire breed. The non-sci- enlist need not worry because he can not tell the dangerous from the harm less varieties. Let the war on them be indiscriminate, remorseless and unceas- ing. None of them should be spared. All of them are nuisances. even If they are not dangerous. and all should share the same fate. To destroy the embyro is the first duty; to kill the fully-g grown specimens Is the second, and to protect all from their bites is the third one or all these can be accomplished, and 1t is not the part of wisdom to neglect any precaution. If both citizens and officials do their duty we will have no yellow fever in Montgomery. Careless ness and negligence may cause 1t to get foothold here. Is it not a plain case of self-preservation on the part of all citizens to assist in keeping 1t out?

URGED TO RUN.
Friends of John B. Ward Want Him

 Abbeville. Aug; 2;-(special, )-The him to enter the race for Commissioner of Agriculture next year. The Abbe- vile Times in its last issue makes mention of the fact that he Is receiving solicitations from various sections of Southeast Alabama to enter the field and that he would be a most excellent man for the place. Mir Ward has rep resented Henry County four times in the legislature and for two terms was chairman of the Committee on Agri- culture. He is one of the largest and most progressive farmers In the State and Is now holding two hundred bales of cotton for better prices MT. Ward has not yet declared that he even con many friends are extremely anxious for him to announce himself as a candi- date.
 It is now raining every day in this section. The farmers are having a difficult time in saving their fodder. In fact, but very little Is being saved. The rains have not only ruined the fod- der but have badly damaged the cotton crop. Sandy land cotton was already poor and is now rapidly deteriorating.
 Judge Gordon has one of the finest pieces of corn ever seen in this sec ton. It is estimated that he will make at least seventy-five bushels per acre.

fact that in many instances capital was overbearing and unjust and partly to the other fact that the working men were, or seemed to be, oppressed and unfairly dealt with. For these reasons we have seen the excesses of the strik- CTS excused and their unfair demands approved.
 But the conduct of the union men themselves has driven from them the, sympathy of the public, to a large ex- tent There has hardly been an exten- sive strike in months that has been marked by such violence and open defi- ance of the laws and of the rights Of others, such resorts to the methods or the thug and the assassin. and such in- science in their demands on employers that the people are beginning to see that their sympathy was wrongly be- slowed and very largely undeserved. Another thing the public is coming to understand Is. as The Kansas City Journal puts 1t, that some of the main principles of union labor are unfair, ar bitrary. bigoted, and narrow; in short, destructive of society. There is no jus tiication, for example. for the refusal of union labor to work with union labor. Such a position is contrary to the spirit of American institutions There is no room in this country for bigotry. intolerance or industrial ostra- cism Neither can there be any justi- fication of the attempt of an employe to dictate whom his employer shall or shall not employ. The mere statement of the proposition is its own sufficient refutation."
 That labor unions have done much good is beyond dispute. we think, but that they have done much harm is cer- tAinly true. Among other things, they have tended to take away from Amer ican working men that spirit of inde- pendence and self reliance that has been one of the boasts of our citizen ship, and to virtually place them at the orders of men no better than them- selves but who make their living and sometimes enrich themselves by foe menting disorder and keeping the real workers n a condition of practical serv- itude and dependence on orders.
 Another and much more dangerous thing these unions have taught labor ing men is disregard for the plain rights of others and defiance of the laws of the country. When one man, who belongs to the union. resorts to intimidation and force to keep a non- unionist from work. he not only de- prives that other man of his rights but violates the law. and these are things which take place every time strike of any extent is instituted. In short. the spirit of unionism is contrary to the American spirit of fair play, and its practice Is too often in contravention of the laws of the land.
