THE SMALL POX SCARE.
RALEIGH MUST BEGIN TO LOOK OUT FOR
IT'S OWN SAFETY.
"A Meeting of the Board Of Health Called to
Meet at Noon To-Day in the
MAYORS Office.

Smallpox is in North Caroina-twO
cases in Charlotte and two in Whining
ton. Charlotte's first patient, William
jackson (col), is 0ead.
The travel between these two cities
and Raleigh is very great. Hardly a
day passes that people do not come
from these places to Raleigh.
This fact, added to the deadly nature
of the disease and the warning letter
from Dir. Lewis, Secretary of the North
Carolina State Board of Health, publish
ed in this paper yesterday morning, has
aroused the people to realization of
their danger
Yesterday a large number of people
were vaccinated. among them Governor
Russell. But. of course, everybody VIII
not do this. and it has been deemed adj
visable by the health authorities to con-
slider the question of compulsory vacci-
nation.
To this end the city Board of Health
has been called by DIR. James Mckee,
the superintendent. to meet today at
noon, in the mayors office. Just what
action will be taken by the Board is not
known.
Though the authorities of the cities
where the disease exists are confident
that the disease is under control and
cannot spread. still it is deemed best to
be on the safe side. and this meeting
is called out of abundance of caution.

McMILLIN STILL LEADS.
The Tennessee Senatorial Situation
Practically the Same.

Nashville. Tenn. Jan. 2S.-Another
vote for United States Senator was
taken by the joint convention today.
Hon. Samuel w. Hawkins received the
vote of the Republican members.
McAIillin received g: Turley. 4. and
Taylor 3. The remainder of the Demo
cratic vote was scattered. The joint
convention will meet tomorrow and
take another ballot.
The Democratic legislative Senatorial
caucus met again tonight and ballotei
thirteen times without making a nomi-
nation. Several changes during the
.alloting were made, but the last ballot
showed that these changes had been
made only as 'feelers" to discover
whether the supporters of any one of
the three candidates could be stampeded
or their line broken. The last ballot,
the 127th, stood:
McMillin 50; Taylor %; Turley %;
one member being absent who would
have voted for McMillin, leaving the
situation practically with one vote gain
ed for McMillin.
The caucus adjourned until next Mon
day night.
