Citizen; Another case Of smallpox has de-
veloped, the patient being the 12-year-o old
son of A. q. Gordon. late deputy sheriff.
Since the death of the colored barber,
Edward Owens. last Friday night, with
out the knowledge of the board of health,
public sentiment has been aroused. and
the board Is being roundly denounced by
the three daily papers OF the city and
citizens generally. II has been discov-
a negro boy living in an adjoining house,
have had the disease and recovered with
out the knowledge Of the board of health,
although sanitary inspectors are being
paid TO ferret out such cases. Since these
new cases have cropped out the people
have become alarmed at the thought that
they were not isolated, and that prob
ably hundreds of persons came in con-
tact with them Gov. Mitchell Is also be-
ing criticized for failing TO institute an in
quiry into the action of the president and
secretary of the board of health in visit
ing at quarantine some weeks since a YES
sci from a South American port where yell
low fever is reported. II Is claimed that
the vessel might as well have been al
lowed to come to the city as for the Off
GERS of the health board to visit her and
then come back to the city and mingle
with the people. Speaking of the gov
ernor's action in the matter, after the
case had been reported to him, the News
of yesterday, editorially says: HE
should know that the Escambta county
board OF health has not the confidence
of the people, and he should institute an
inquiry to determine the cause therefor"
