YELLOW FEW
Err IN NEW ORLEANS
Continued from first page.

est things on earth to me are my wife
and childrn. Now you are privileged
to take the most virulent case al
yellow fever in this city and allow me
to make the proper mosquito screen

and children to sleep in the adioin-
ing room with myself all during the
patients illness or until he dies. That
is just how much confidence I have
in the theory"
Governor Blanchard. upon this re-
ply said that, although medical law
man, he would henceforth subscribe
to it fully without hesitation.
This story became public property
in New Orleans with the result that
there is every confidence in the theory
1t is not expected that the applica-
ton OF the yellow fever dogma will
be an absolute success here for
several reasons. two principally: The
first is that the great bulk of the pub
lie here, in the absenc of fever, re-
fused to heed the patient efforts of
DIR. Kohnke andthe medical fraternity
to educate the community to take
even the most primitive precautions to
rid the city of the stegon1yia The re-
suit is that there are now being bred
here thousands of these mosquitoes
which would never have come into
existence if the people had been will
ing to take their lessons before the
present emergency arose
The other reason is that the abs
ente OF sewerage system. the lack
of modern water works system to
furnish filtered water necessitates the.
retention Of system of obsolete

TOO BAD TO
ALLOW 1T

While the city is putting on such a
strict quarantine and trying to make
the city as healthy as possible, there
are things which really ought to be
looked into in regard to the dump
pile where the city's filth is dumped
People who have free access to the
city go there and from morning until
night dig through the filth trying to
find something OF value Some poor
people go there for food and in the
most stagnant and unseemly place
find things to bring into the city.
The place is only a rendezvous for
bHzzards and other scavangers. as it
is probable the city intended it, hav-
ing the 9Th dumped outside Of the
city limits, but the practice OF people
going through the filth and then COM
ing into the city ought to.be topped

briS makes bad odor for the adj

DO YOUR
DUTY

No citizen in Greenvile should re-
fuse to respond to the call for vol
mtecrs to help protect the city from
refugee, or persons from the injected
cities of other States. 1t is duty
we all owe to our country in peril 1t
is a duty we owe to the women and
children, who from circumstances car
not leave the city and are compelled
TO remain.
The keeping out of strangers and
the keeping within the gates our own
citizens IS the greatest safeguard to-
day from he fever plague, and we
should do this if it calls to guard duty
every citizen in the city.

righteousness of the building was
due only to the presence of the in

Every attempt was made to infect
individuals by means of articles that
had been soied by patients suffer
ing with virulent yellow fever. Young
Americans slept for twenty consecu-
tive nights in room from which
mosquitoes were excluded, in contact
with articles soiled with discharges
from fatal cases of yellow fever They
suffered no disturbance of health.
Four of the non-immanes were sub
sequently infected by blood infections
and by means of infected mosquitoes.
The following are the conclusions
drawn from the experiments:
The specific agent in the causation
of yellow fever exists in the blood of
a patient for the first three days OF
his attack. alter which time he. cease
to be menace to the health of others
A mosquito of single species, the
"setgomyia fasqiata." ingesting the
blood of the patient during this infec-
tive period is powerless to convey the
disease to another person until
about twelve days have elapsed, but
can do so thereafter for an indefinite
period. This mosquito lives about
two months.
Yellow fever cannot be spread in
any other way than by the bite OF
the previously infected "stegon1yia. =
Articles used or soiled by patients do
not carry the injection

waged against mosquitoes generally.

 Washington. July 2l.
 The new statistical board, under the guidance of Assistant Secretary w. N. Hayes of the Agricultural Department, which will hereafter handle the prepa- ration of all crop reports, including cot ton. 1t may be remarked Is interesting as to its personnel. MT. Hayes is from Minnesota, Victor H. Olmsted Is from Ohio, s. D. Fessenden Is from Maine, George K. Holmes is from Massachu- setts and w. w. Long is from North Carolina.
 The last named is the only represent tative from a cotton State. This phase of the proposed reorganization should be interesting to the cotton growers everywhere in the South. @:.... The preparation for publication of a new June cotton report Is now an ab- sorbing topic, that subject having been discussed by the department officers and others interested and with differences of opinion. The authorities of the Southern Cotton Growers Association and growers generally believe a new report Is advisable. ...- ..t-" s:.
 The secret service men who first in vestigated Holmes soon learned that he had grown suddenly and wonderfully pr1Aperous. while receiving a compara- lively small government salary; that he was a high roller and free spender and that he had accumulated a large amount of tangible assets. Since the inquiry into Holmes affairs has been conducted with more thoroughness, 1t is alleged that the former associate statistician made between a quarter and half million dollars by his manip- ulation of cotton figures.
