The source of selling orders in the

and Inferences usually drawn from the

are almost invariably at fault.
The conditions which prompt the
liquidation and the probable limits of
its extent are consequently the subject
of grave disquiet pand apprehension.

veillance. The detention, however, :
does not apply to through passengers ;
from points beyond the yellow fever
district in Mexico, the only thing ex-
acted from such passengers being a
certificate from a United States con-
sul in Mexico showing they have not '
been in an infected region within ten
days.
Drs. Guiterrez and Tabor have per-
fected the organization of their forces
to carry on the work of placing the
city in a sanitary condition by sending
our four gangs in charge of competent
physicians whose duty it is to super-
vise the disinfection of all houses
within the neighborhood where yellow
fever patlents have died and where
cases now exist.
While the federal and state officials
are working in harmony, there is a
difference of opinion as to whether or
not the disease is contagious.
Dr. Guiterrez in an interview urged
the necessity of fighting the mosquito
as the only means of stamping out the
disease. He said that this theory of
communication of the disease was ac-
cepted by the international medical
congress held at Havana in 1901, and
although there are many learned men
who do not accept this theory he is
firmly convinced of its correctness. He
said if the city had been thoroughly
drained before the advance of yellow
fever from Mexico there would have
4 been no spread of the disease here.
Dr. Tabor said that he believed the
fever could be transmitted by infec-
tion, and that while the mosquito un-
doubtedly communicated the disease,
he thought it could be acquired by in-
fection as well. As there are many
things not absolutely settled to the
satisfaction of all men of science he
said it would be well for the inhabi-
tants of the city to take every pre-
caution both against infection from
contact with the disease and by being
bitten by the yellow fever mosquito.
Every case of fever has been isolat-
ed and the doors and windows of the
houses covered with mosquito netting
to prevent any spread of the disease
from the patients now under treat-
ment.
Little information of a reliable na-
ture can be learned.from Nuevo Lare-
do, but it is reported tonight that sev-
eral cases developed there today. It
is also reported that several of the
patient* are not protected from the
mosquitoes, some of the medical gen-
tlemen there not believing in the
transmission of the disease by this
means.
They escaped from the hundred and
eleven villages which have been whol-

to have been slaughtered.

Lexington, S, C.. Sept.« 28.—J. H.
Tillman, former lieutenant governor
was arraigned in circuit court in Lex-

charging him with the murder of N.

State,
Judge Frank B. Gary presided. It
was 11 o'clock when the prosecutor for
this circuit, J. M. Thurmond, announc-
ed that the state was ready to proceed
with the trial of the case. By the time
the midday recess was taken at DIO
p. m., the defendant had been arraign-
vd, a jury drawn and sworn, and all
was in readiness for the introduction of
testimony. There was every indication
earlier that a jury could not be se-
cured today. The court room was well
filled, but not crowded.
Probably never in the history of this
judicial circuit has there been so great
an array of counsel engaged in the
trial of a case in the circuit, or perhaps
in the entire state. The solicitor* were
assisted by five attorneys, while the
defendant* has eleven lawyer*, with G.
W. Croft, representative in congres*
from Aiken, as chief counsel, condut-
ing the defense.
Mrs. J. H. Tillman and the mother
of the defendant were present at the
opening of court and remained

'The paramount issue of the senn-
torial contest in this compaign is the

"It is simply a fever which must run
its course. Just as we had a buying
fever two years ago, and even last

hold of the people and reason counts
for nothing.
"No matter what may be said as to
the cause which has brought about the
present situation, prevailing conditions
do not Justify the existing decline in
substantial securities. The time will
come when people will wonder how
conditions such as we see now could
have existed. It does not appear to
be that the much feared monetary
stringency will materialize.

with the inability of corporations to

may seem paradoxical, that when rail-

values of railroad securities will again
