IMMIGRATION DISCUSSED.
Important Meeting of Decatur Business
 MenJa LNawma


 Decatur, May 24.-(Special l)-A reg ular meeting of the Business Mems League was held last night and the en- tire session was taken up over a dis cussion on the labor problem in the South. It seems that some of the rail- roads are making an effort to flood the South with foreign emigration. and the Business Mems League of Decatur is opposed to making a dumping ground of Alabama for the undesirable class of foreign immigrants.
 At the meeting of the League last night, Walter J. Nesbit, Secretary of the League. introduced a resolution on foreign immigration, which was adopt ed by the League. The resolution pro- vides that the delegates of this body to the annual meeting of the Alabama Commercial and Industrial Association body "an immigration movement that will not entail so much danger to the South as would flow from the opening of Southern ports for the landing of promiscuous immigrants in the South"
 The farmers of this section report that the rains for the past week or more have put them very much behind with their farm work.

every year, and wherever the origin
was traceable. it could be traced TO
Cuba, Brazil or other places of the
south of us.

They Didn't Have Time.

A short time ago some men were
engaged in putting up telegraph poles
on some land belonging to an old farm
er who disliked seeing his wheat
trampled down, according TO the vera
cious Register of Great Bend, Kan.
The men produced a paper by which
they said they had leave to put the
poles where they pleased. The old
farmer went back and turned large
bull in the field. The savage beast
made after the men, and the old farm
er, seeing them running from the field,
shouted at the top Of his voice: SHOW
him the paper! Show him the paper?

Daily News Says 1t Will
Support Bond Issue?

We are glad to note that our even
Ing contemporary, the Daily News,
now avows its friendliness to the pro-
posed bond issue for public improve
nents which Pensacolians will be call
81 to vote upon next month. In yes
terday's issue it says:
The Journal in an editorial to-day
asks if this paper is opposed to the
issue of bonds for municipal improve
ments, and quotes an article from yes
terday's News as the cause for the in
quiry.
There was nothing in the article
oCOted that could be distorted into
opposition TO the issue of bonds on
the part of the News. We have al
ways been in favor OF bonding the
city and still favor it. Il was that
there might be no hitch in the adop-
ton of the ordinance that We advO-
Gated publicity.
When such frivolous affairs as the
landing of the carnival king or the
suspension of the fireworks ordinance
are deemed of sufficient importance
to warrant the widest publicity, GER
tainly a matter that to a great extent
involves the future prosperity of Pen
sscola should have at least as much
publicity.
The importance of this was sug-
gested 10 the proper committee and
by them to the council. who OBJ
jected to informing the public any fur
Their than had already been done.
Since the establishment Of this pa
per in 1883 IL has used its influence
in the upbuilding of the city, and not
once during that time has its editorial
columns been used in wholesale de-
nunciation of its officials and adver-

leprosy that was said to exist in our
midst.
Yes. we are in favor of bonds and
trust that the ordinance will be adopt
ed. We are also in favor of the coun-
Gil taking the people into their conf
dence and letting them know what is
being done.
This is all very good and We are glad
20 see it. Now if the News really
means what it says, We trust it will
quit kicking. No one else has any
complaint about the matter at all.
For the information of our contem-
porary, however, We may state that
the bond ordinance to which it refers
has already been adopted. The coun-
Gil voted for it unanimously and
the mayor signed it. The bond issue

KICK VIGOROUSLY
AGAINST THE QUARANTINE.

Birmingham, Ala, is one of the few
Southern cities that has entered a
protest against being included in the
quarantine, and the papers published
there have joined in a vigorous kick
against the action of Governor Jelks
in ordering a general state quarantine
against cities between New Orleans
and the Alabama state line. The Biz
mingham Ledger has the following to
say upon the subject:
Birmingham is quarantined against
New Orleans. That means a great re.
striction on business and great incon-
venience to many people. 1t means
that we advertise to the world that
Birmingham is afraid of the fever.
when really not one person in one hun.
dred feels the remotest uneasiness.
IL is true that a quarantine affords
several men good salaries. for four
months if the salaries begin now.
A quarantine is a cobweb so far as
protection is concerned. If it be mos.
Quitoes that carry the disease, the mos.
quitoes cannot be quarantined. They
can fly from house to house from New
Orleans to Birmingham.
Still, some Of the doctors want a
quarantine and they have it. 1t is a
kind of mind cure. Many nervous. peo-
pie can be frightened, and as the fever
cannot come here. nor stay If a case
comes. 1t really doesn't matter. We
simply advertise ourselves badly. That
is the only bad thing about a uuaran-
tine. The city will suffer by it. but
the nervous people will have their
mind cure, and perhaps it is all right

lessons in recent years. The first is
the value of sanitation, and the second
is not to get panic-stricken when the
words, yellow fever, are mentioned.
There was a time when these words
" ere as carefully eliminated from a
Memphis newspaper as the mention
OF any kind of intoxicating drink is
forbidden in the pages of the Ladies
Home Journal. An enthusiastic jag,
enormously labeled "a suspicious
case" once sent several thousand peo-
rle out of Memphis and must have
cost the town at least 100000. The
mere mention of the disease was once
as disastrous to the business of the
city as the rife shot in the Alp that
may jar loose the avalanche.
But We of the South have outlived
all that Of course there are some
people who thrive on "scares," but
the public can no longer be stamped
ed. Sanitation has made epidemics
thing of the past in this country.
New Orleans has been criticised in
some quarters for not having publish
ed to the world under scare heads the
fact that there were several cases of
yellow fever in her confines.
There are a number of good rea-
sons why she should do nothing OF
the kind. When typhoid fever appears
in a city, it is never featured" in
such a way as to alarm the entire
country; yet typhoid is much more
deadly disease than yellow fever.
Philadelphia and other Northern cities
have thousands of cases of typhoid
every year; almost enough to make
1t epidemic, but it is not made the
news sensation of the day. Why
should the press and the authorities
Of New Orleans make any more of
yellow fever than Philadelphia makes
o. typhoid, or some other city does Of
smallpox?
There Is hardly any more danger of
yellow fever becoming epidemic any
where in the South than there is Of
typhoid becoming epidemic in the
North, indeed there is hardly as much.
We have learned thoroughly the les
son Of sanitation and we no longer
fear the once dreaded visitant. We
should therefore treat yellow fever
just as we would any other undesir-
able disease. Whenever it appears,
We should be ready to battle with it
with the best weapons that sanitation
can provide. Least of all should we
fear il. There is no need to court it.
Of course, but no man ought to let the
mere name of the thing inspire him
with terror. So far as Memphis is
concerned, the alert DR.. Jones is on
deck, and II it should ever become
necessary. he may be relied on to do
everything to keep the disease out.
The most troublesome thing about
the appearance of the disease in New
Orleans seems to be the quarantine.

THE MAGNIFICENT
FLORIDA CLIMATE.
Tampa Times.
x e e * :; e !; s Z x

A careful comparison between the
climates Of the north and the south
leaves such a tremendous balance IN
favor of this section that 1t is to be
wondered the subject is not better
understood. that the masses OF the
people of the country do not univer-
sally recognize the climate OF the
south as more promotive of health
as well as more comfortable. The
recent heated term which extended all
over the north and slew and disabled
people from the Rocky mountains TO
the Atlantic affords a very appropriate
text, a fair and reasonable starting
point
Such Affections never visit this sec
ton, even in those sub-trcpical regions
to which Florida belongs. The heat
OF summer-is by no means too intense
as to be accompanied by those disas-
trous consequences which decimate
the north. In Florida sunstrOke is I'M
known and in the southern states gen
orally the same thing is true.
The rayages of winter, the freezings
are of course unknown in the south.
The priyations and injury to health
of winter are a negligible quantity.
Or the contrary the diseases due to
the winter season are very common
and deadly at the north.
Besides possessing the advantages in
those two extremes, the south is equal
ly blessed in the bearing and influence
of those medium temperatures which
are denominated good and normal
weather. There are fewer diseases of
all kinds incidental to the tempera-
ture and moisture. The notion that
malaria abOunds more in the south
than in the north is only half truth,
mainly arising from the classification
of diseases by physicians. Of actual
ague there are sections of the north
which rival the most maligned
swamps of the Mississippi valley.
And when it comes to the industrial
feature of life the south has sufficient
advantages to redeem it if the count
were against it on all the other points.
The saving of fuel, the number of days
in the year in which the ordinary avo-
cations of life can be pursued with
comfort out of doors, and in every
particular relating to the effect upon
dollars and cents, the south is infinitely
superior. Notwithstanding the i'm
mense number of stricken northerners
who come south to spend their last
days in a condition of mitigation of
torture to gain a new lease of life,
the death rate of this section is far
lower than in the north.
With all these truths patent and
plain it Is difficult to understand why
people at the north persist in believ-
ing and spreading baseless ISLANDERS
to the detriment Of the south. Il is
"a matter of wonder that they do not
flock in this direction by hundreds of
thousands to gain the benefits and
blessings Of our superior climate They
would be far happier and live longer.
