VACCINATION IN SCHOOLS.
An Intelligent Statement by
Prof. sampson, Of the Clay
Street school.

EDITOR LEDGER-Underth the special
supervision of that eminent physician,
Or. Thornton, many of the pupils Of
Clay street school we're vaccinated last
year, but as vaccination was Jon
Quoted in the building, the pupils
consequently received no certificates.
Others who were occasionally ad-
mitted presented certificates from
Drs. White, Sims aud others Of our
best physicians. Knowing that the
work had been made very thorough in
our school, and that the greatest care
had beeen exercised in receiving only
such as we believed should be ad-
mitted, we naturally supposed that
the learned young physicians who Wis.
tied us g few days ago were acting in
compliance with an order to revacci.
nate the school. But such seems not
to have been their purpose. They
came to vaccinate such as they be.
lieved needed vaccination. Hence, as
doctors differ, it was not difficult to
find out Of seven hundred and forty
even pupils some whose vaccination
was not satisfactory. We had already
turned away nearly two hundred
pupils since last October, because
they were not vaccinated, at least we
could not feel safe in admitting them.
But so anxious were We to serve the
gentlemen calling on us, that we in.
structed all children applying for ad.
mission to remain and present them.
selves while vaccination was going on
in the building. We do not plead ig
norance Of the law. W. believed then
that we were acting in obedience to
her mandate. The law is very specific
as to the penalty, but it does not seem
to prescribe any special method for
our protection. President Hadden,
however, very kindly suggests that we
require every pupil to present a salts
factory certificate. A large number of
the pupils vacrinsted in the building
hold no certificates at all.
Other gentlemen may see fit 10 re-
vaccinate the same pupils. What
protection will principals have from
the penalty, in case this is done? In
the face of such a dilemma, VIZ earn
estly hope that certificates will
be ordered also for children v4ccina.
ted 10 the schools by the visiting ply
stefan. This seems to be very neces-
sary, because the testimony given in
court by one Of our physicians showed
that while one doctor bad certified in
writing in successful vaccination, an.
other d%issented, thus placing the re
sponslbility upon the principal Of the
school. 1t will be remembered, too,
that before President Hidden, other
schools mot colored) according to the
best evidence, we're found in the same
predicament.
That our honorable Board of Edu.
s%ation, the Superintendent of Schools,
the city authorities and His Honor,
Mr.. Hadden, may see with what con.
Germ We have been actua.ed in regard
to this very important law enacted in
the interest of health and life, we most
respectfully submit the above.

k~NfGHrLY's NIGHT
OF Horror at the Mouth OF =
Loaded Revolver.

Old John Knightly, who has driven
a hack In Memphis for nearly q year,
and who bears an excellent character
IN every respect. had an experience
last night thatshook every nerve In
his body and will be aeraphic picture
in his memory.
Shortly after midnight he was re.
quested to take a message to the cor
ner OF Hill and Robson streets, and
driving his hack to a point within a
square Of the place, where he left his
team, he made the balance of the
trip on foot, on account Of the diff.
Guilty Of driving it through the heavy
mud. The moment be dismounted
from the hack and stepped
upon the pavement, he was
accosted by a man who afterwards
proved to be Charles hanow, who de
manded if he had driven two men out
in his hack. Knightly said he had
not, told his name and business, ex-
hibited the numbers on his hack aud
started away. Finishing his errand,
he started back toward his hack, and
when about half way was again halted
by Hanow, who forced him to accom-.
pany him to his house, No. Sc Market
street. Here be took him into a room
where Mrs. HanOw was in bed, and,
drawing a pistol, presented it at
hnightly and threatened to kill him.
Knightly, expecting every moment to
be his last, dropped to his knees and
with hands uplifted, begged for
mercy for the father Of his family.
Hanow seemed determined to shoot
and Mrs. Hanow mingled her en-
treaties with those Of the terrified
hackmau. Knightly declared his
willingness to go anywhere with
HanOw, who finally put up his weapon
and, mounting the hack with him,
drove to the statiOnhouse. Arrived
there, be complained that he had been
assaulted twice by robbers aud mar
rowly escaped with his life; that one
oftbe robbers, whom he had knocked
down on Market street bridge, called
loudly for Joe and my hickman"
and for that reason he suspected
Knightly. AS the police knew the
latter to be a harmless, inoffensive old
man, they paid no attention to the
matter, and as no marks of violence
we're found on Hanow, the matter
would probably have ended there ex-
c1pt for his request to have an officer
protect him home, as be was unarmed.
AS he showed some symptoms of in
t%oxicatiOn, Captain Hsckett, who hap.
pened to be present, ordered him
searched, aud a pistol was found in
bis pocket. The case was finally dis
missed, as much ado about nothing.

pie the alternative o! getting out Of

that he is now known as Must Leave

hardly worth the time of SO valuable
a man as Mike Garvin except for the
