New Quarantines Are Being Put on. j
Fruit Vessels May Be Forced to
Seek New Ports of Entry—News
From Other Points on Situation.
New Orleans, July 25.—No early re-,
ports of deaths from yellow fevt r
were received at the board of health |
today. In today’s mail was sent out i
a circular to every physician in the i
city urging the prompt report of ah ;
cases of fever, typhoid, malarial, yel-1
low and otherwise, so that the appear-;
ance of new foci may be immediately
established, screened and watched.
The doctors are also asked to stir- i
render individual opinions they may j
have and to co-operate with the state j
and federal authorities in as rigid an i
application as posisble of the general ;
screening of houses and cisterns and
the prosecution of sanitary measures.
Meantime the city board of health is j
today making up a careful record for |
the state board of all cases of sick |
ness and of the deaths since the fe*;
ver appeared.
Subscr'ptions are being taken to a:
fund of $100,000 for the maintenance I
of a detention hospital. Sanitation in

In the Senate.
Two important bills relating to thei
banking laws of the state were intro-j
duced in the senate by Senator Mc
Henry.
The one which will likely attract
much attention relates to loans to of
ficers of the bank. This measure
seeks to amend section 1914 of the
code of 1895 providing for additional

A
No Yellow Fever in Mobile.
Mobile, Ala, July 25.—Dr. Eugene
Wasdin, surgeon of the Marine Hos
pital service, detailed by the govern
ment to make an inspection of the
coast cities, arrived in Mobile last
night and made an inspection of the
conditions at Mobile. He had a fur
ther inspection this morning and stat
ed emphatically to the Associated
1‘ress corrsepondent that Mobile had
“nothing,” meaning that there was no
yellow fever here. He will leave for
Scranton and other Mississippi coast
towns this afternoon.
Dr. Wasdin stated that he had every
confidence in Dr. Rhett Goode, local
health officer, and if there was any
fever that gentleman would report it.
Dr. Wasdin, in discussing the fever
! situation, said it was better to let the
fact be known that there is fever in
a city than to hide it.
He is Arrested and Held in Jail
a Murder Charge.
Albany, Ga., July 25.—At Beloit, in
Lee county. Sheriff Denny shot and
killed Joseph M. Oliver, a middle-aged
white man. The tragedy was the re
sult of a disagreement growing out of
a note Oliver is said to have written
to the mother of Denny. The sheriff
is just 21.
Oliver Denny and Wesly Pye met on
the rairoad track and began to discuss
the matter. Denny, it is alleged, in
vited Oliver to step aside a few paces
and settle the affair. YY’hen they
stepped aside Denny drew his revol
ver and shot Oliver twice through the
body, killing him instantly.
Denny was arrested and is in jail
at Leesburg, charged with murder.
Oliver’s body was brought to this city
for interment.
Oliver is survived by a wive and sev
eral small children.

Advertising is called by
some an art.
If it be an art it is the art
of telling a story simply and
convincingly.
Nobody knows more
about the strong qualities
of an establishment than
the proprietor who oversees
it. Other things being
equal, nobody should be
ab.'e to write more convinc
ingly of the articles he of
fers for sale.
In a store where the employer sella
goods side by side with his clerks It is
rare that the employer will not b« the
best salesman.
The reason is simple. He
knows the goods from A to
Z. He probably has pur
chased them." He knows
his aims. His arguments
carrj weight because they
are convincing.
The same arguments pre
sented in the same way,
with the same enthusiastic
spirit, the same knowledge
of detail, would attract
new customers if presented
through the advertising col
umns of this paper.
