ner Wires Report from
New Orleans. r, . ; H .
Following the recommendation of !
the sanitary commission, the resolution
of council empowering him to !
do so, Mayor Myers of Savannah, Ga.,
Wednesday afternoon issued a proc- >
lamation declaring a quarantine
against persons and personal baggago i
from New Orleans, the entire state of-j
Louisiana and all points now infect- ;
ed with yellow fever.
Special sanitary inspectors have j
been appointed to board all incoming
trains and stop all persons unable to !
show they have not been in Louisiana |
within six days.
Though the proclamation declares a j
quarantine against any place which
has yellow fever, only Louisiana is
specified in instructions to inspectors,
and for the present the quarantine
is against Louisiana alone.
Health Officer Brunner of Savannah,
who went to New Orieans to invest!- :
gate conditions, wired the mayor as j
follows:
"Arrived this morning. Inspection of '
situation warrants close quarantine of |
railroads. Alabama 'and Mississippi ;
quarantine compels passengers to go I
through these states. Refugees seem
to be centralizing in Atlanta. Advise
careful inspection of Atlanta trains." j
Quarantine, however, had already j
been declared before Dr. Brunner was
heard from. City officials have given
notice that the city ordinance against !
originating or disseminating false reports
in regard to infectious or contagious
diseases will be rigidly enforced.
The city council-of Columbus, Ga.,
declared a quarantine against All cities
where yellow fever exists or may
exist. Officers will be placed on all
incoming trains. The period of absence
from fever infected localities required
will be twenty days, otherwise admission
to Columbus will be denied. An
ordinance was adopted, broadening the
powers of the sanitary department.
The department is given the privilege
of cleaning private lots when the property
owners are tardy in doing so, assessing
the cost against the property.
A rigorous sanitation campaign is now
on in Columbus.
At a special meeting of the Brunswick,
Ga., board of health and city
council, Wednesday, it was decided
to put on a rigid quarantine against
all infected and suspected points. A
quarantine was also declared against ;
all southern ports, including Savannah.

MANY YEARS OF HATE j
1st ~~ I
Marked Progress of the Carter-Rawl. I
i-ngs Feud Before Fatal Chapter
cf Tragedy Was Reached.
la the morbid interest which has J
centeied in the turning of the scales of |
jus ice in the finai chapter of one of J
the now most famous feuds the south
has ever festered, the public has lost
sight of the origin of the passion which
spread i:s contagious hatred of a fellow
human being, and all that was iiis,
irom lather, J. G. Rawlings, to his
<rS
sous, .\iiiton, Jesse and Leonard.
The leud between Rawlings and j
Caiter dates back over live years.
Loth were, at one time, ministers of
the gospel. Carter was for three years
a member of tne South Georgia Conference,
while Rawlings was a staunch
upholder of the Baptist church. Both
lived in Coffee county at that time,
and in the same settlement. Here, as
ra many sections, it is considered a
breach of good citizenship to decline
to assist in a log rolling or a house
moving. It was the failure of Carter to
accept Rawlings' invitation to come
over and assist at a house moving that
caused the first breach between the
two.
At the time that Rawlings issued the
invitition to Carter the latter was
in almost destitute circumstances. He
had just been burned out, and had
made no crop, and on the day he was
to go to Rawlings he had to go to a
relative s twenty miles distant to get
a side of meat. Several days later he
met Rawlings in the road and was
cursed and abused. This was the
starting of the feud.
For three years Carter's life was
a hunlp.i to him. He was arrest
ed on a dozen different charges, all
preferred by Rawlings. He was charged
with ca.tle stealing, with carrying
concealed weapons, with false swearing
at the polls, for uttering false land
titles and other harassing charges.
He was constantly a defendant in
court with Rawlings as the prosecutor,
until finally he moved out of the
county into Lowndes. Rawlings also
moved his abode, finally settling in the
same district m which Carter lived.
Carter complained many times that
his cattle were killed by some unknown
person, whom he had good reason
to suspect was Rawlings. His
crops were trampled down and he
suffered other ills.
Last summer Willie Carter, the
young toy who was murdered on the
night of June 13, was bathing in a
creek dividing his father's land "from
that of Rawlings. The three Rawlings
boys caught him and nearly drowned
him, accusing him of stealing some of
their watermelons.
In the trial of a case in a magistrate's
court some months ago Carters
throat was cut by a man named
McDonald, and Carter alleges that this
assanlt was instigated by Rawlings.
Last April Carter went out to look
for a cow which had been missing for
several days. While searching for The
lost animal he met tue elder Rawlings.
Carter claims that, without speaking
a word Rawlings unslung his rifle and
commenced shooting, the first bullet
striking him in the hand and the next
one going through the bone in his right
1 VaI/ntw fVo lmno .
ItJg JUSl UCIW" tut nuw.
Carter fell forward and pretended
that he was dead. Rawllngs walked up
to within 30 paces and fired three more
shots, the bullets going through Carter's
hat.
Believing Carter dead, Rawlings
went to the pastor of his church, and
told him that he had met Carter and
that when Carter attempted to shoot
him, he had killed him.
Warrants were sworn out for Rawlings,
and he was to have been tried at
the last term of the superior court,
but he secured a continuance through
the leave, of absence given his attor- J
ney.^The neighbors of both families
then predicted that Rawlings would
kill some member of the Carter family.
He ma&e open threats, which reached
the ears of Solicitor Thomas. The resultSwas
that Rawlings was required
to give a peace bond. He was forced
to give a firm in Valdosta a mortgage
on his place for $1,200 in order to
get them to go on his bond. He is
quoted as saying when he gave the
bond: "There's no use in making this
bond, for I am going to kill old Carter
yet."
The question of bond was not a
mere matter of form, but was personally
looked after by Solicitor Thomas,
who informed Rawlings that he must
give it or go to jail.
Rawlings' life has been a particularly
stormy one. As a result of a fight,
in which he sought to cut an engineer's
head off with an axe, he was
shot in the jaw, and a large portion
of the bone had to be taken out. AT
ways carrying a rifle, he had one ol
his eyes shot out while changing the
position of his weapon, on the pommel
of his saddle one day.

Montgomery Citizens Take Fever Sit

The announcement of a case of yellow
fever in Montgomery, Ala., is taken
in a very philosophical way by the
people, and there is nothing like the

business in the city are staying by it.

There was givut disappointment in 1
Porismo-irh Monday over the delay in |
:!ie arrival of uie Russian and Japan- J
i
c.-e po.ce envoy's.-The news of the .
postponement of the functions had not
reached many of the citizens of ;
Fo:tsmouth, -and its environs, (jonse- ,
qnently, that section of New Hampshire
wes astir early, and by 8 o'clock !
every elec'ric line from the country '
f
was bringing many sightseers. When :
the fact of.the postponement became |
gene: ally known; there were many ex- I
pressions of disappointment, but, upon |
the circulation of rumors of the possi- I
ble arrival of the ships, most of the |
crowd decided to have a holiday any- j
way.
The operators in the wireless sta- |
tion had a very busy day trying to j
pick up the Dolphin, which has the j
Japanese envoys on board. An answer j
to the numerous calls was finally re- j
ceived, stating that at dark the Dol- |
phin was off Cape Cod, 75 miles away. !
She was steaming slowly, and those
on board thought the cruiser would i
reach the harbor about 9 o'clock Tuesday
morning.
Mr. Witte arrived in Portsmouth !
from Boston at 11:15 o'clock p. m., ;
/ nmiria in a snofial car attached to i
v -
the regular Bar Harbor Express. He '
was enabled to avoid a crowd of sev- j
eral hundred people assembled at the j
railroad station, through the train I
s'opping at ai crossing about a quar- I
ter of a mile from the depot. Mr. J
Witte was taken to the Wentworth in J
an automobile. ,
On his arrival at Boston, Mr. Witte
took an automobile' ride about the
city and visited Harvard university |
and Magnolia, the summer home of I
the Russian embassy. Mr. Witte left i
for Portsmouth at 9:45 a.' m. Before j
the train left about a hundred former ;
residents of Russia, many of them i
Hebrews, assembled near Mr. Witte's j
car and cheered him. The envoy appeared
on the platform and spoke in
Russian in a conversational way for
several minutes. He asked his hearers
bow they-liked America and whether
they preferred this country to Russia.
Several of the audience replied, in effect,
that they liked America better,
as there were more opportunities for
advancement. At the conclusion of
Mr. Witte's informal remarks, the
crowd cheered him, which he acknowledged
by removing his hat. As the
train pulled out one of the Hebrews
shouted: "Give freedom to the Jews."
SANFORD JURY TfED UP.
Judge is Asked to Charge on "Unwrit- j
ten Law," But Refuses.
Monday night, the jury in the Sanford
case at Rome, Ga., was still tied 1
up, having been in deliberation, at
that time, for seventy-two hours, without
reaching an agreement. Judge
Wright retired at 10 o'clock, and stat
ed that he would not receive any mes- ;
sage that might come from the jurors i
until Tuesday morning.
Monday morning, Foreman Milam, !
after the jury had filed into the court |
room, stated to the judge that there j
was a desire to have him charge on ;
the point of the "unwritten law of
man," which permitted a man to de- I
fend his home, and on the law of man- ;
slaughter.
The court replied that he could not ,
recjharee on ag# "unwritten law," but 1
would repeat that portion of his '
charge delivered Friday morning,
which was the law relative to man- '
slaughter. After discussing closely ,
this phase of the law the court ex- j
pressed the hope that a verdict would 1
be reached.
Monday night members of the jury, ;
locked up in their room in the court j
house, were heard singing an old-!
fashioned Methodist hymn, and the j
notes and words of the song floated I
out clear and strong on the night air,
hushing to silence the groups conversing
about the corridors and at-;
tract.ing attention from passersby on
the streets. I

matter, and later, after a full inv??- j
tigation, the following telegram, |
signed by Dr. Heber Jones, president j
of the board of health, and twentyeight
leading physicians of Memphis, I
was sent to the governor:
"Dear Sir: We, the undersigned
physicians, practicing in the city of
Memphis, and having been informed
by Drs. Holder and Crisler that you
had communicated with them today
over the long distance telephone to i
the effect that a physician had in- I
formed you that yellow fever was j
already in Memphis, and the knowl- !
edge of its presence was being with- j
held by the board of health and phy- j
sicians generally, beg to emphatically j
state to your excellency that no such j
conditions obtain here to the best !
of our knowledge and belief/ and, 1
moreover, solemnly pledge ourselves j
'to report the first suspicious case that j
comes within our practice or knowl- j
edge.'*
A similar telegram of assurance
was sent by the business exchanges.
The following message in reply
was received from Governor Vardaman:
"Jackson, Miss., August 7.?J. T.
Willingham, President Business Men's
League, and Others, Memphis: I
have your message of today and accept
your assurances that there is no
yellow fever in Memphis implicitly.
Should your city be so unfortunate as
to be visited by this dread disease,
we shall rely upon you to notify us
at once. God grant that you may escape
the pestilence.
"JAMES K. VARDAMAN."
A unique feature of the situation
was presented when George R.

CHILD LABOR BILL PASSED!
i
In Georgia House of Representatl* fcs
by an Overwhelming Vote.
'Measure Up to the Senate.
Is
By the unexpectedly large vote ot
103 to 62, the Georgia house of representatives
Thursday passed the child ,
labor bill by Mr. Bell of Fulton and-'
after the announcement of the result
the measure was, on motion of the'
. V j
author, ordered immediately transmitted
to the senate.
The galleries, crowded to the doors
with ladies and others who had manifested
a deep interest in the debate^
gave vent to tneir .approval w. mo
house's action in loud and prolonged
applause. Frequently during the debate
similar outbursts of applause ?
greeted eloquent expressions in, behalf
of the bill, and once or twice
Speaker Slaton threatened to clear
the galleries unless order was mainr
talned. But the ladies were bound to
have their way, though they had the
assistance of others in giving vent to
these expressions of approval of the
earnest sentiments spoken in behalf
of the measure.
Practically all the amendments of- JS
fered were defeated with the excep- |
tion of one offered by the committee
permitting children under 12 years to J
be employed only when their fathers >?j
are "totally" dependent upon them,
the word totally being Inserted. Fol- .
lowing Is the text of the bill as passed J
