The SMALLPOX ScOurge im Pike
and Marion Counties.


| IL. w. ConerIy in Magnolia Herald.
EDITOR HERALD have just returned
| from trip 10 Columbia, Marion county,
where learned of the sad condition of the
| people on the line dividing Marion and
/ Pike, about six miles northeast OF ChiHs
! Grove, many of whom are now suffering
| from that dreadful seourge the smallpox.
| [ learn that the spread of the disease in that
section had its origin from an Irish peddier
| named John O'Brien, who had nursed case
of small poX in Brookhavcn. He was taken
sick at the residence of Mr.. Washington
| Bracey.
O'Brien died and was buried. Wash.
| Bracey was lying Mt the point Of death, and
| his poor wife su jected to premature child
| birth. agoniZing with the terrible Scourge.
| Both OF them died on Thursday night, the
| l4th, and were not buried for two days after.
Mr. Bracey's daughter, IA beautiful girl just
blooming into womanhood-the pride and
pet of the family and cOmmunity-and his
. oldest son, young man, were the next to
| the Vaccine COoK well, it Is thought will re-
cover. MIR. Bracey's mother. who was in
feeble health, an0 sent away TO the hons. of
her daughter, Mrs. Rebecca Ratliff, has since
died, aud it is now reported that one OF
Mrs Ratliffs daughters has the disease.
Thus it Is going from family to family, and
God only knows where it will stop. There
has been only one nurse, an old negro wO-
man on Mr.. Bracey's place. to attend to all
these sick. except What lit lie help She re-
ceiVed from VIM. Russell, Louis Bernard
Pearson, before they wero taken down
DR.. Ford, Hon. I. 5. Ford, Richard Lloyd
and myself telegraphed from Columbia TO
the Howard Association last Sunday for
nurses, but leaving there at IL O'Clock, m,
did not hear whether they would be sent.
What these unfortunate. people want is |
nurses, and they should have them TEere |
are few in that neighborhood except ne |
groeS, and it is impossible for them to wait |
on all the sick. Nurses, male and female,
should be sent To the infected district as /
fast as they can be procured until the de-
mand is supplied and funds raised to aid in
paying for medicines and meeting other
necessary expenses. Pike county is equally
interested with Marion, and no time should
be lost while the lives OF so many of our
citizens are in jeopardy.

IT is stated in a New Orleans paper
that the schedule prescribed by the
Barry bill regulating railroad freight or
cotton is higher than the one at present
In force on the Jackson and New Orleans
railroad under its new management.
That road charges under its new condi-
tions of Owners risk" only 81 so for j.
bale of cotton, whereas the above
bill allows SO and 50 so. Hence the
bill, if it had become a law, would not
have affected the charges of this road
As we have before said, the bill origi-
mated in the extortions and discrimina
tions practised by the Mobile and Ohio
Railroad For example, we are inform
that the freight on cotton from West
Point to Mobile is 81 90, and the same
cotton is shipped from Mobile to New
York by the way of West Point at the
same cost.
