Daath from Small Pox.

We learn from a neighbor that a
MIR. Hare, wholives on Clouds Greek,
10 Saluda county, contracted case of
small pox from a negro on his place
and died from the effects. The same
authority states that there are several
more cases in that neighborhood.
It ssems that itenerant negroes carry
this disease about with them and
their trail is marked with an out
break of this loathsome disease.
Our authorities should be yigilant
in their efforts to prevent vagabonds
and tramps from being harbored
among us. We cannot be two care
full in this respect.
