HOSPITAL CORPS
COMPLETES WORK

such consummate skill and wisdom by
Maj. Windell l.. Simpson, of the
United States army, ably assisted by
Maj. b. K Ashford, chief medical Of
flyer and his efficient colaborer, Lieut..
Howard H. Bailey. In addition to the
government officials named, DR.. H. R.
Hermish, of the United States navy,
and DR.. Chamberlain, of the army, both
rendered very intelligent service in the
early days Of the relief work.
The closing of this work of govern
ment relief is now at hand. Maj. Simp-
son, DR.. Ashford and Dr. Bailey all
leave Wednesday night for their re-
spective posts of duty.
Never, perhaps, in the history of ex-
tensive relief has there been shown
such fidelity on the part of those en-
trusted with the execution of the plans
as in this case. Perfect harmony has
prevailed between the government Of
ficials and all of the relief committees.
These have worked together with the
common end of rendering all aid
needed.
The entire hospital corps left last
night as did the Red Cross nurses.
Major Simpson is closing his accounts
today, all purchases having ceased
Saturday. 1t will be matter of strik-
ing interest to note that perhaps not
exceeding 100000 of the government
appropriation of $25O,OOO was used in
the states of Louisiana, Mississippi,
Alabama and Georgia.

major Simpson Closing His Accounts
Today-Less Than $4,000 of the
Government Appropriation Has Been
Used.

When the people of Hattiesburg
heard on April "a that the flying
clouds which passed with such speed
over their beautiful city, were nothing
less than dreadful cyclone, there was
naturally a sigh of relief at the thought
that we had escaped its fury This
fact doubtless Intensified the interest
felt by everyone when it was learned
that our neighboring little city of Pur-
Wis was practically destroyed.
With commendable promptness the
New Orleans and Northeastern Rail.
road Company placed at the service
of our city train to be used inc
veying relief to Purvis and for bring
ing the wounded to Hattiesburg. Near
ly every physician in our city with
hundreds of our people boarded this
train. On their arrival at Purvis
everything possible was done to care
for the dead and wounded, two hun
dred or more of the latter were
brought to Hattiesburg at once, where
from that moment they received every
attention needed for their comfort and
" elfare. Never was there more prac-
dcal demonstration of the broad SYM
pathy men feel for their fellows when
in trouble than waa. given by this oc-
casion.
Men, women and even children
seemed to vie with each other in their
efforts to show sympathy and render
aid. We are quite sure there has not
been case since the days of-slavery
of the negro, when racial lines were SO
nearly obliterated as in,this instance.
We are sure not one negro patient
would say that. anything but the great
est kindness and largest liberality was
shown him. This fact applies as
well to the work of the local committee
as to that of the government and of the
Red Cross
When the conditions became gener-
ally known our congressman, Eaton ].
Bowers, at once took up with his usual
promptness and energy the question of
government aid. Congress at once au-
thorized the secretary of war to render
such aid as was found necessary and
Mater made an appropriation of s250.0OO

T. Mclean, past assistant surgeon
