IN ALARMING STATE
CONDITION OF SMALLPOX
IN COLUMBIA.

The Record. lNth inst.

The smallpox situation ir this
city has assumed an alarming
phase, and unless more stringent
measures are adopted to prevent
the further spread of the pest it
will be running riot among alt
classes in II very short space of
time.
Columbia is face to face with II
grave condition of affairs and this
is no time for soft. words or. for
in any manner concealine the
facts.
The disease Is rapidly spreading,
is vcN virUIcnt, and TO these
facts must be added that there is
not much hope of stamping it out
under the present arrangements.
1t is on the authority of one of
the vaccinating and inspecting
committee that there are today no
less than 100 cases of genuine
smallpox in Columbia, and in the
pest house there are fifteen cases.
Whereas less than week ago
there were, according to similar
authority. not more than fifteen
cases all told and onlv three in
the pest house.
Health Officer Swearingen, this
committee says, is utterly power
less to perform his dutyas inspac-
tor. 1t will require no less than
the entire police force to eeep up
with all the cases and have them
turned OXcr to the board Of health.
But this means of orecaution the
board refused to adopt mt its last
meeting. Officer Swcarengen is
doing his best, bat On account of
being alone his efforts for The |
most part are not crec,irp. y, |
fast as he reports cases and before
they can he visited and dealt with,
they take flight out of dread of
the pesthouse and escape while he
makes the report, thus injecting
additional localities.
But perhaps the most dangerous
is the inability of retain
ing the patients at the pest hod dse
after they are formally and df-
cialIy lodged there. A day on so
ago two patients ran away. One

ing with you and Mrs. Merriam on your wedding journey, and the lovely times you had before, they had to go to San Francisco" and now her voice had be- come timid and appealing, for she saw that something was very, very much amiss. Merriam's face had flushed, even through it's coat of tan, but was now a yellowbrown, all its happy, healthful glow vanished. and Billy Whitaker, looking uneasily at him. had linked an arm in his and seemed about to urge him to come away; yet Merriam had to say something, and this, in evident constraint, is what he said:
 "Yes-we-did meet-Mrs. McLane- I'm very sorry to hear she's been i'll, and am much surprised to hear she's coming here. Excuse me, Mrs. Grafton, I must hurry on."
 That evening Floy and her husband failed to attend the formal hop which was held each week, and their absence was noted, for she loved to dance, and had promised waltzes and two steps without number to her old friends of the Iifiers and the cavalry both. Some one proposed going after them. Mrs. Hayne did callson her way home, for she left early, and inquired anxiously for Florence. "She has a severe head ache" said Randy, who came to the door with gloom in his eyes. land she felt too good-for-nothing to attempt it. so I persuaded her to go to her room.'' He asked them in, but did not invite. Both Hayne and his wife noted that, and both felt they knew the cause of all the trouble when they met Whitaker ten minutes later and learned from him from the east on Saturday-Mrs. Me Lane.
