After twelve deaths of cerebro spinal meningitis within a week, the epidemic which Ijas been raging in Midville, Burke county, was finally being got under control, according to dispatches received. There were no further deaths and the class under treatment are said to be improving. Dr. T. G. Kershaw, of Augusta, who is in charge of the situation, has instituted a strict v quarantine. He believes that a general spread of the epidemic is not likely. The little -own of Midville is under a quasi-quarantine. The railroads entering the town have agreed not to let passengers off or on there, and one road has agreed not to stop its trains at this point until the epidem ic is under control. A state of quar antine is in eftmt at the homes of families already stricken, and the few physicians on .the ground are work ing hard to confine the disease and cure those patients now afflicted. It is possible that Burke county will be entirely quarantined and no person permitted to leave, its bor ders, for this form of meningitis is highly infectious and so insidious in its attack that a person with the germs in his system might spread the malady to hundreds before he is himself stricken down. Dr. E. R. Parks, of Boston, who was to join the board of health on January 1, is on his way from Bostpn to Midville to assist in relief work. He was ordered south by the board. Governor Joseph M. Brown wired Dr. Samuel C. Benedict, . chairman of the state board of health, not to hes itate to mvoke Federal aid to stay the Midville meningitis -epidemic, if, in the wisdom of the board, that seemed advisable.
