It is the industrious, hard worker
who succeeds in life. With judg-
ment and economy he cannot fail.
He cares not for hardships, extra
labor, but overcoming all obstacles,
commands the respect and esteem
of his fellow man. 1t is this sort of
man who leads his fellow men, and
who is a blessing to them, not only
by precept and example, but by
finally giving employment to others.
We say all honor to the hard-work-

Vaccination Cures

1t ought to be Unnecessary. at this
late day, to argue the question of the
value of vaccination against SMALLPOX.
But it is not. Between ignorance and
prejudice, operating singly or in COM
bination, there is still a very n
neglect of a precaution which parents
should take in regard to every child
in every civilized community. Hence
the timeliness of the lesson drawn from
the recent experience of the people of
G~louchester, England.
During a period of thirteen months,
which included a small part of the year
1895 and most of 1896, no fewer thar
1879 cases of smallpox were reported
in that city, and 434 of them (more
than one-fifth) proved fatal. The story
of FIX epidemic has just been told in
an official document by DIR. Sidney
Coupland. 1t appears from this that
over "a per cent of the mortality oc-
CURED among children under 10 years
old.
DR.. COPELAND remarks: Viewing the
subject with as impartial a Minis as I
cam, the conviction is forced upon me
that Glouchester would not have suf-
fered as it did a its child population
been ~vaccinated." And he backs I'D
this opinion with figures. Combining
himself for the moment to children
under 10 years old, who were actually
attacked with the malady, he says
that the percentage of mortality among
the vaccinated was 3.9 per cent, and
Al per cent m o the unvaccinated.
In other words, from among those
children who We're sick at all. death
took more than ten of the unvaccinated
to one Of the vaccinated children. Here
is an equally significant statement.
The disparity is quite as marked when
he type of the attack is ~contrasted,
for Of 507 cases Of severe attacks Una
lignant, continent, inderminate) there
actually occur only three among the
v~accinated."
Going somewhat more into detail.
DR.. Coupland points out that the cases
observed in 1895 were few and mild.
whereas h greatest prevalence occur
red between February and April, 1896.
As showing how in a community with
a large proportion Of unvaccinated
children the disease may spread rap
idly, we have the fact that there was
an Simultaneous invasion of
many homes through children who
were infected while attending certain
of the public elementary schools"

About the first of May 1896, a board

As a result OF the GROWING OF the

factor that appears to have had any

about this abrupt cessation OF the dis

ITO whatever figures or tables We

the disease more readily. but they take

clearness, and II Glouchester a one
lesson more than another to teach, 1t
is that Jenner, by his advocacy OF a

was received here tonight of the lynch
ing of John "A. Belin, the negro who
shot Mr.. r. j.. Cox, a prominent bust
ness man of the Savage section, thirty
two miles below here, in this county
on Pee Dee river. The lynching look
place last night, and only a meagre
account of the affair can be obtained
at this time. The cause that led to the
1ynching, 1T seems, was that Belin had
been for very near a year rObbing THE
store Of MT. S. r. Daddy at Savage
A warrant was issued against Belin
and MIR. j. T. Eaddy was appointed as
constable to execute the warrant. In
attempting to arrest Belin Mr.. Cox was
called upon to assist Mr.. Daddy, when
he was shot and Instantly killed. Belin
made hits escape and went to George
town. where he was captured and
brought back to Savage yesterday.
Las night he was taken by a crowd
and carried down the road and swung
up to a tree, where his body was left
dangling fn the air.
Savage is a small place on Pee Dee
river and forty miles southeast of here
and the only communication between
the two points is by private v
-ance, hence the meagre accounts.
