BRUNSWICK, Ga., August 20. Nurg-eon
Branham died today at 5 o'clock after
lingering" twenty-six hours in an un
conscious state.
As soon as the death was bulletined,
a large crowd of sympathizing friends
gathered on the street corners and dis
cussed the unfortunate man's fate.
Surgeon Hutton ordered the finest
steel-rolled, silver-mounted casket in
the city sent to the house. It was left
near the gate and Surgeon Carter
and his assistants carried it into the
house.
The body was wrapped in sheets,
soaked in bichloride of mercury and
around the lifeless form a large na
tional flag was rolled. On leaving
Washington Surgeon Hutton had a
premonition that Surgeon llranliam
would die and prompted by this placed
the flag in his trunk.
The casket and body were brousrht
to the quarantine limits and there
Surgeons Hutton and (iuitcras, Under
takers Moore fc Son placed it in the
hearse. It was quickly transported to
a grave in the new cemetery.
Brunswick, (1a., August 21. S. II.
Harris was pronounced ill with 3ellov
fever at the Presbyterian parsonage
today. Immediate afterward Sur
geon Hutton assumed control of the
case for the government and moved
nim inside the quarantine limits to
City Physician Branham's house. Yel
low fever signs were stuck around the
parsonage and the house was thorough
ly disinfected. Harris's brother, who
had been nursing him, was sent to the
quarantine station at Sapelo.
Mayor Lamb, as soon as the case was
announced, issued the following pro
clamation: "To the Public Whereas, it has
come to my knowledge that a new case
of yellow fever has developed irt our
midst, I, therefore, urge every one
'who can possibry do so, to leave the
city."
PASSES FOR THE POOR.
Superintendent Haynes, of the
Brunswick and Western railroad im
mediately notified Mayor Lamb that
he would issue a free pass to any ol
the deserving poor of Brunswick.
Mayor Lamb at once started the min
isters of the city to getting the names
of members of their congregations
who are unable to pay, and gave all
that wanted them passes. The old
and infirm, crippled, maimed and poor
gathered in large crowds around the
mayor s otnce and were accommoda
ted as fast as possible with transpor
tation. THREE THOUSAND HURRY OFF.
Tonight twelve coaches full left over
the Brunswick and Western and later
the East Tennessee train went away
jammed. About 3,000 people will leave
and this alone will prevent it spread
ing rapidly if at all.

Charleston, S. C, August 19. Dr.
Horlbeck, city health officer, says in
regard to reported cases of yellow
fever on board a schooner at Philadel
phia, that no ships of any description
whatever had left this port with any
sickness on board. The list of the ves
sels sailing from Charleston since Au
gust 1st does not contain the name of
the "Betty Lester." There is evident
ly a mistake in the name of the port
from which the. vessel sailed.

A Sensible ami Timely Article From
the Philadelphia Times.
Stop croaking and get down to
business. It is the croakers who
are locking up money and distress
ing themselves and business gener
ally. We have big erops with a foreign
market for our snrulus. The neo-
j j
pie were never more generally sol
vent. Money is abundant for all
legitimate business: but the croak
ers are on top and cowardice kills
1 , T
w n ere courage would cure.
Let the calamity howlers ?o to
the rear. Manv banks and business
establishments have suspended, but
not one in fifty of them has failed.
They are solvent; ready to resume
whenever the croakers are through
with this work, and soon the calami
ty organs which have heralded fail-
j -
u res in startling headlines will be
recording the resumption of the
suspended concerns.
Stop croak in sr. It is as serious
for the time as if bankruptcy were
upon us as a people, when business
could be revived at once if honest
and well merited faith in the gov
ernment, in the country and in in
dustries were restored. Stop hoard
ing money; put it into circulation
lis . .. .
Ly buying, depositing or lending,
and don't wait until business has
enough money without the locked
up resources of the croakers.
We are now adding a million a
day to our national bank circulation;
we are getting gold from Europe at
a rate of a million a day, and money
must soon become abundant without
the croakers hoarded wealth. In ad
dition to these sources of enlarged
circulating medium, Congress will
surely give us an enlarged and more
flexible circulating medium, and
money is more likely to be too abun
dant than too scarce before the
close of the year.
Stop croaking. It doesn't pay;
it is all loss and no profit to all, and
whenever the croaker shall cease to
ply his vocation money will be
plenty and business prosperous.
Stop croaking.

The Raleigh Correspondent of
the Wilmirig-toii Messenger says :
A number of delegates to the
htate Farmers' Alliance were here
returning from the meeting at
Greensboro. They report that
seventvsix counties were renm-
sen ted and that over a hundred
delegates were present. They
expressed themselves p. eased with
their new officers. Pres. Marion
Butler was disposed and J. M.
Mewborne, of Lenior county,
placed in his stead. The latter is
one of the leading lights of the
Third party- It will be remem
bered that he was once an indes
nendent candidate for Cnnfrrpss
- n '
in the Second district, and was
endorsed bv the Democrats. Tn
the last campaign he was one ol
the Third party electoral candi
dates. This, of course, please the
Third party men in the Alliance.
J. 8. Bridges, of Catawba county,

free coinage of silver, and several
said that the Sub- Treasury plan
would relievo the situation. One
of the delegates proudly stated
that the doorkeeper had said that
during all t he meeting he had not
smelt the breath of liquor on a

Wits due to 'the temperance of the
