SMALLPOX IN ROCK HILL.

There is a genuine case Of smallpox IN
Rock Hill. At least so think all the local
physicians, and the excitement there
and in surrounding towns, has naturally
grown very great in consequence.
The victim is 12-year-old son OF MIR.
J. B. Johnson. The little fellow went to
Atlanta about two weeks ago to have his
eyes treated, and returned to school IN
Rock Hill last week. On Monday he be-
came ill, and DIR. Strait was sent for.
Soon after taking charge Of the case, Or.
Strait observed symptoms OF what he
diagnosed to be smallpox, and communi-
eating his suspicion to the other doctors
of the town, all agreed with him that ne
was correct. 1t was on Monday that
suspicion was at first aroused; but not
until yesterday morning that the doctors
were willing to give out positive opln-
ion to the public.
Soon after DR.. Strait reported his suspi-
cions, the board of health took the matter
in charge and ordered that all the chill
dren at the school which the child had
been attending, must be vaccinated.
With this order, Of course, the excite
ment began to grow apace. Many people
who had not been in direct contact with
the child, had been i'll contact with others
who had, and accordingly the board OF
health extended its order Of vaccination

HEALTH RULES.

The Yorkville board of health met re-
Gently and passed rules and regulations
to govern the health conditions in the
town of Yorkville, as required by law.
Under the law, such rules and regula-
tions must be ratified by the town coun-
Gil before they can have the force and ef-
feet of ordinances.
. At a meeting of the council on Wednes-
day night, Intendant Lowry and War
dens Moore and Propst were present.
The rules and regulations as submitted
by the board of health were discussed at
length.
AS the result of the discussion, it devel-
oped that the members of the council did
not care to concede to the board Of health
so much power as appeared to be implied
in the rules and regulations submitted,
and in that portion of the paper which
provides for the abatement Of whatever
the board might consider nuisance, in
serted an amendment providing that the
town council should also have sayso be-
fore such nuisance could be removed.
The amendment referred to completely
emasculates the health ordinance and di-
yides with the town council power and
responsibility which the statute imposes
upon the board of health alone. The
board of health has not held q meeting
since this amendment was made, and as
to whether or not it will be willing to &C.
cept the amendment, the authority for
which is very doubtful, has not yet de-
veloped.

co11NTy COMMISSIONERS.

The county board of commissioners
held meeting in the Office of the super
visor on last Thursday, for the purpose
of passing their 'supply bill' for the
year commencing January l, 1898.
But little business was transacted dur
ing the forenoon. 1t was because OF
rather more pleasant employment. Upon
pressing invitation from Superintend-
ent Gauldin, the board went down to the
County Home and took dinner. They
were gone about two hours or more, and
upon their return they were as satisfied
looking set Of men as has been seen about
the court house this year. Still COM
placently picking their teeth, they told
stories of baked turkey, locust and per-
simmon beer and other things which
seemed to help out the reputation of the
County Home wonderfully. Their testi-
mony to Mr.. Gauldin's bounteous hospi-
tality was unanimous.
The business of the day was transacted
after dinner. To most of the commits
sioners this business was distasteiul. 1t
dealt with past Indebtedness, next years
tax levy, and other things which men do
not like to think about, especially in
such times as these. But, well fortified
with Mr.. Gauidin's good cheer, they got
down to the task like little men and did
the best they could.
Figures produced by Clerk Brice, and
the discussion of different members, de-
veloped that last year the tax levy was
81 mills. This is the levy that is now be-
ing paid. There are outstanding a note
for s., 900, and accounts footing up some
thing like $500 or $4,000, for this years
business, and all to be paid out Of the
present collections. 1t is estimated that
these debts will run up to some $4,000 or
81, 900, and this taken out of the present
| collections, will not leave a great deal
