I/be ?uDman auit ^at??arait WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 27,1893^ The Fever at Brunswick. The situation at Brunswick. Ga., is serious and experts at the marine hospital service who have investi? gated the condition of the city agree that the pest has come to stay until frost stamps it oat. In view of the rapid ?pread of the fever, physicians will do well if they prevent its spread to other southern cities. Surgeon-General Wyman tele? graphed Surgeon Murray, who is in charge at Brunswick, ibr full details ot the situation, and received a full response to his inquiry. Surgeon Murray after thorough in? spection, reports on Sept. 18th twenty cases under treatment, and one death. There is, he says, no need of physicians until they are asked for, and adds that volunteers will not be welcome. No nurses are wanted at present beyond those at the disposal of the doctors and now on the ground. Surgeon Murray further states that the fever pervades the entire city, and the most favorable outlook that he can see indicates a six weeks seige, which will carry it almost to the time when the first frost may be expected. Arrangements have been made for the opening of a local hospital and all m complete at the detention camp at Waynesville. Citizens of Brunswick do not ap? pear to be panic stricken, but meet the calamity with fortitude and patience, and will care for the desti? tute through private subscription The precautions that have been taken lead sanitary experts to believe tliey can confine the fever to the stricken city. The detention camp will accommodate 300 persons and every one desiring to leave the city will be required to remain there until the period of infection has passed. A strict cordeu on land was thrown around the entire infected district and complete water guard established. Acting Assistant Sur? geon Horsey now at Fernandina, has been put in charge of the Cumberland river patrol to prevent the escape of refugees into Florida. A Senator in Disgrace. COLUMBIA, S. C., Sept. 19.-"J. L. if. Irby-Drunk, disorderly conduct. -Count li J. L. M. Irby-Carrying concealed weapons.-Count 2." The foregoing appears to-day on the official records of the police con rt of the city, and they are the charges up . on which tiie successor of Wade Hampton in the United States Senate j will be arrested, should he return to j Columbia The junior senator from South Car-j olina arrived here from Washington j early this morning, under the influ? ence of a very lively jag which he; accumulated on a Pullman car after leaving the capital yesterday evening, From the statements of those who are mentioned on the polic court docket as witnesses, the following tale of Senator Irby's adventures is obtained After being assisted from the sleep? er by m the porter, who also showed signs of having looked upon the jag water when it was red, Senator Irby shambled through the ladies waiting room, and jerking a pistol from his hip-pocket caused consternation among the hackmen, who promptly took to cover. The porter assisted him into the carriage of an unwilling Lackman, and the senator gave orders to be driven to the executive mansion at once. Though pretty well fright? ened, the hackm?n complied, taking him along frequented streets. The senator is said to have presented a very comical picture as he lay there with his legs thrown across the front seat, and the rest ol his body jumbled up on thc back seat. The hack m an says that Col irby had his pistol drawn on him most of way the until he went to sleep ; he states that when he was met at the door of the gover? nor's mansion, Col. Irby stumbled out with the remark: "We are ruined. Vve come to bring you bad news " This interesting secret of possible . disaster to thc reform cause in South Carolina, is for the present lost to thc world, by reason of the fact that a frightened hack mam valued an ab sence of body on that particular oc? casion more than he did a presence of mind. "1 never stayed to hear what the bad news was/' said he. "1 drove out of there as fast as 1 could. 1 was 'fraid all along that he was going to shoot i?e." What went on at the mansion is unknown, as Governor Tillman declin? ed to have anything to say about the matter The affair began to get nois? ed about the city and called for in? vestigation by the chief of police. But the bird had flown when the officers made their appearance. Ac? companied by Governor Tillman and a servant, Senator Irby was taken to the depot, and placed on a train bound for Laurens, his home. Befe rc leaving the servant was dis? patched for a bottle of dispensary liq? uor. Charges were preferred against Senator Irby by Policempn E. J. Jones, whose statement is as follows : I was informed this morning that Senator Irby had arrived in the city under the influence of liquor ; that he thrust a pistol in the face of a negro ; hackman, and then at another ; that he was taken to the house of a friend in tiiat condition. As he arrived at the hour At which the police are re? lieved, no officer happened to be at the depot, but I have the names of four reliable witnesses, two whites : and two colored, and as soon as Sena? tor Irby returns he wiil be arrested for the offense. He left on the ll o'clock ? train for his home in Laurens, or he would have been arrested this morn? ing, i The "bad news" which brought Senator Irby from Washington and j which is probably responsible for the condition in which he ' came, is thought to bc the ; confirmation by the senate in ex? ecutive session yesterday of R. I W. Harris and Josiah Doar, as post masters at Union and Georgetown, i Colonel Irby had shorn that Harris 1 should not get the position because ; he voted for Cleveland at the Chicago ' convention, and that Doar should be defeated because he deserted the Till- j maulles. Itappears that Irby was i turned down by his own committee on postoffices, and postroads of which he is chairman -Atlanta Constitu? tion. Arp on futures." . Let os tote fair with the figures. Bishop Keener says in the Nashville Christiao Advocate that "the mercan? tile world io the South is now controlled by the wholesale gambling and massive frauds of cotton futures : that the centers of New York, Liverpool and New Orleans have yielded to this colossal scheme of hazzard un tit the production of the staple has no effect upon its market value." He says that "during the past three months there have been sold to New York and elsewhere 56,000,000 bales of cotton." This would be 224,000,000 bales for the years crop. All this, he says, "is purely imaginary value ex? cept the 8,000,000 bales that were raised and this ideal cotton that was not made would yield $7,840,000,000, and this is the figuring against which the planter has to make headway. All the gambling deos io this coootry aod in Baden Badens of Europe are child's play compared with this huge monster that envelopes in its coils the fortunes and even the lives of myriads." Gambling in futures is a sin. Betting on anything is a sin, for it is. a mode of getting something for trothing lt is demoralizing in the extreme and results in ruin to thousands of those who engage in it, but I cannot see how dealing in futures affects the price of cotton, for in its analysis it is bettiog whether it will go op or down. There were no 56,000,000 hales bought or sold, neither real nor ideal. The speculator says to the bucket shop : "i'll bet you that cotton will go up within thirty days and I will put up a margin cn 250 bales n ?'All right,7' say s the bucket shop, "put up $500 and TH take the bet/' Cotton drops instead of rising and the $500 goes up the spout aod the specu? lator is a sadder but not * a wiser man. Another speculator bet the other way, perhaps, aod ?on, and of course he tries-ifr again The- shop wwill bet either way., and like the dealer io a faro bank, always comes out ahead in the end The shop bas no interest to butt or bear the cotton. The shops koows its consumers aod thc average of all the bets, aod cao hedge to suit it. Now that is the way I uoderstaod it. It is oo gettiog op a corner on cotton. It is simply backing a man's judgment with his money. That $500 was the stake; and while it represented ,250 bales, it was really the value of only fifteen bales. This solution would reduce the bishop's figures from 56,000, 000 bales to 8.400,000 bales as the amount lost or won in three months. What it has to do with fixing the price 1 cannot see Liverpool still fixes the price and has the India crop to help fix it, and it seems to be uniformly fixed every year io proportion. It is the farmers really who fix the price wheo they fix the acreage to the crop Eo gland-A ni erica agents still examine carefully and cautiously into the crop, condition of every couuty io the South. England koows the condition and ex? tent of the crop in Bartow County better to-day than any farmer in it, for she does not rely upon one source of infor? mation but on several. There is not a buyer or dealer io Georgia who does oot rely opoo the last reports seot bim from some great house io New York that is coonected with Engli>h or Ne? England mills I cannot see where the bucket shops come in or how they ean influence the price. Miiliooaries like the lomans pot large moneys io cotton every year and make money, for it is their business, and they uoderstaod it, but they ruo oo bucket shops, oor do they make colossal fortunes hy specula? tion. They back their judgment with their money and are able to hold their purchases until there is a point. I re? member a Charleston coffee merchant by the name of Samuel Farrar who made in thirty years a million dollars by dealing in coffee. He had a large map in his private office, and it was checked off in years and months aod days, and the price of coffee for every day was marked, and a green line marked the ops and downs, tb?? rise and fall, and it was a very crooked line. Then there was a straight red line that split the difference and showed the average price for the year. Brazil was the market where he bought. If the crop was short he made allowances for it and raised the red line according to bis best judgment and his most reli? able information. "I buy," 6aid he, "when (be price is below that line. I sell wheu it ts above." Just so it is with shrewd men everywhere. I believe there is too much odium heaped upon rich men, too much malignant abuse of money kings aud millionaires I reckon we would all get rich if we could-even the preachers. ? It grieves me to hear some of these politicians trying to array the poor against the rich and to stir up strife and bitterness among the people. It did not use to bc that way. Men who prospered were respected io my young days-respected by everybody Riches were not consi ed a sio The Scriptures speak approv? ingly of Abraham and Job and Solomon and tell us of their great wealth, and bow the Lord blessed them. I believe that there are gc^d men DOW who are rich and they do good with their money. If they did not I don't know what would become of the poor and suffering when pertilence or famine er stormy afflict them. But there seems to be a feeling of un? rest and bitterness among certain classes ail over tbe country. Somebody is making the working people believe that they are imposed upon by the rich and by the government. I see io a Rome paper that they have organized iu Cbulis district, in Floyd county, "a bread brigade," and have 400 members and they have signs and grips aud pass? words, and have sworn that they "will have 10 cents a pound for their cotton, debt or no debt, and they will hold it at the muzzle of a Winchester " Surely that can't be so. Is it possible that the spirit of anarchy aud communism is taking bold of our people? Bread bri? gade ! Why, there is not a farmer in Fioyd county who is suffering for bread. There is none in this county Corn is abundant everywhere. It used to roll in here from tbe West by the carload, but it don't come now. There are hundreds of farmers in Bartow who will have corn and fodder and meat to sell. Our farmers are better off to-day than ?cy other class in the community. They come and go when they please. They have health and strength and good water and are never visited hy storms or pestilence, such as have lately I come upon our sea-coast They have j cattle and hogs and chickens aud eggs and '"garden sass" and the schoolhouse and the church are not far away-what a pity they cannot for a little while look in upon the poor of Europe and have their hearts touched with gratitude that they live in this blessed land. La? bor is too hard upon capital-too threat? ening-too exacting. These may seem strange words for me to use, but they are true. I am as hostile to monopolies and trusts and combines as anybody, but when I read of these great strikes tn a time like this, it shocks my sympathy. What are these organiza? tions anyhow, but monopolies. The watchword of most of them is "if you dont't pay so much, we will quit and when we quit nobody else shall take our places." That did not use to be the law and how it comes to be the law now, I cannot understand. But we are gratified to see such kind relations between Mr. Thomas and his employees on our road from Atlanta to Nashville. That is all right and we hope it will contioue The mystery is how a railroad can pay its men at all while our whole financial system is paralyzed. There is hardly enough freight busiuess now to pay for the axle grease. One day last week there were only seven loaded cars going North over this great road, so I was told. Below Atlanta there is nothing to load and yet the lease of the Western and Atlan? tic costs $120 a day. Railroads and factories have their troubles, and but few make a fair rate of iuterest on their cost. The wooder is that any sane man will invest in them where strikes and violence prevail. Now, I do not wish to be misunder? stood. I have respect for all the organizations where, they respect these rights of other people, but when those employed ou one road say to their employers yon shall not carry any freight that comes over another road where there is a strike, their demand shocks the judgment and the common sense of mankind When the strikers assault and intimidate others who would gladly work, or* whep they allow violence to be doue and the track torn up and the locomotives disabled, it is simply an outrage upon the law of the land and if persisted in, will surely bring this government into a monarchy like thos*t of Europe, where it takes a standing army of half a million soldiers to protect citizens and their property. The very class who are now importunate for the government ownership of rail? roads should remember that strikes are not tolerated among government em? ployes, neither in the army or naval or publto works or the railway mail service. Strikers do not dare now to stop the locomotive and the car that carries the United States mail. Well of course, these brotherhoods have an answer to all this, and I have read it till. Papers and periodicals come to me weekly that breathe out enmity to capital and are tainted with communistic principles and in my opin? ion these publication^ are doing a world of barm They are educating the working people) to-the idea that there should be a division-a division In the awful days of the French revolution three communists went into the Bank of Rothschilds and cried "liberty, equal? ity, fraternity-we have come for our money." The Jew said "all right ; I have 60.000,000 francs in the hat*. There are 60,000,000 people in France; here are yours," and he threw three france upon the counter. "Now go tell the rest to come and get their's," said he. But we have not come to that and I hope we never will. U becomes all our considerate people, whether poor or rich, whether employers or employed, to be reasonable and tolerant, and to respect the rights of others and teach others so to do. BILL Aitr. - - - - - A Word to Farmers The following advice is given by one who knows what he is talking about, and is a warning that should be heeded by every cotton planter in the county : "You will find that the sale of storm cotton is very slow and the price very low unless you take special care to dry it and get the dirt and water out of it. And 1 would suggest that you keep it sepa? rate from your good cotton, as no exporter will take storm cotton for export, as it will not stand shipment, it being.subject to damage in transit across water. Damaged - cotton is like damaged goods, subject to more discount than there is real damage. Now, should you deeide to hold your cotton off the market, be sure you put it in a house or under a dry shelter, as it will hold weight better and will sell for a better price than cotton exposed to the weather and ground, and will-save a great deal of disagreement between buyer and seller. Let me urge you to handle your cotton with care, as your crop is short, and you will need the highest price for it, and to obtain this you should avoid trash or having your cotton ginned wet." --.??.-^B-^ The New York Advertiser, com? menting OB the complaint of the At? lanta Constitution that while money is "congeith" in the East there is only about $3 per capita left in circulation in Georgia, asks: "Suppose we had a per capita circulation of $250. What is to prevent tile money from congest? ing in the East again?" Nothing.* While the present tariff laws stand to levy tribute on the South and thc West and thus force money from those sec? tions to the manufacturing East and the present financial system prevails which enables Eastern bank? rs to control the volume of currency it will always be so: and while with the tariff tribute which the South pays she also must pay her proportionate part of the immense sum annually paid out in pensions to pensioners on thc other side of the line, whatever the per capita in tho Soul h may bo, the hulk of it will eventually go in the paine direction and find lodgement in the coffers of the Eastern money lords. The finaucial question can never be permanently and satisfactorily settled until the tariff and pension questions are fairly and hon? estly adjusted. i m II The silver question is fast assuming thc proportions of a (/hiriese puzzle. The reports from Washington declare that none hut. a few silver cranks ever con? sider the question of continuing the pres? ent ratio of IC to 1 ; that Senator Voor hees acd Secretary Carlisle have proven conclusively that none of the proposed bubstitutes contemplating a change of ratio are at all practicable ; and yet Mr. Voorhees was most vociferously ap p'auded when assuring the people Cleve? land and Carlisle are both bimetallists. The logical conclusion is <Lat Mr Cleve? land, Mr. Carlisle, the ora;.rs and the people all want bimetallism, but it is impracticable at any ratio. This may be said to be important if true - -- - When the Legislature, next, winter, gets to tinkering with the dispensary law, they could be acting for all the people if they would leave the estab? lishment of dispensaries to the voters of each county. If a majority nf the voters of the county say they want no dispensary, do not establish one in their county, in that way the Prohi? bitionists would have a 9ort of showing. -Carolina Spartan. - mm* -imxm - Macon, Georgia, ts preparing for sewerage and the city voted ?200.000 for that purpose. They seemed to think that the work could be done in a year, or le99 time. B .S. Church, a celebrated hydraulic engineer of New York was in Macon and stated to the authorities that it would take five years to com? plete the system unless they went at it in a very expensive way. Samuel Gray an expert engineer of Rhode Island, has been employed to do thc work and he agrees with Mr. Church. Sewerage, if well done* is not the work of a week or a month. "All work and no play has its tradi? tional disadvantage, and is not to bo de? sired.
