SMALL P0X.
How to Manage an 0utbreak-lmpor-
tauce of Vaccination.

The paper read by Dr. Henry w.
Long, of lredell county, at the recent
Health Conference in Winston, on the
Management of an Outbreak OF
Small Pox in a North Carolina Com
munity," is being circulated through
out the State by the Board OF Health.
At the conclusion of this paper Dr..
Long saws that tnew and more strict
legislation is necessary, particularly
in regard to the infectious and conta-
gious diseases. The county superin-
tendent should be given the power to
establish hospital for infectious
diseases whenever he thinks it nee
essary, instead OF waiting for county
and city authorities to act, as the law
is at present. More than this. COM
pulsory vaccination law should be
passed, requiring the vaccination OF
all citizens every three years, with
out regard to previous vaccination
A vaccination card should be the en-
trance card for every child that at
tends a public school, which it should
be rt uiired to show before it enters
the doors Of the school house. Under
proper laws and regulations it would
not be many years until an outbreak
OF small pox would be an impossibility.
We owe il to ourselves and our pos
terity that we should do all in our
power to at least free our State from
the blight of this plague, and this we
can do with only little effort in the
right direction"

ArlATTER OF DIGNITY A. WELL

1t is to be feared that this "era OF
good feeling" which has already
witnessed a good deal of folly, will
wind up with a good deal OF i'll feel
ing. The fraternal words OF the
President, on the occasion OF his recent
visit to the South, suggested to
fellow who had more enthusiasm
than balance to pin Confederate
badge on his coat--a thing which he
could not decline to allow done with
out offering a rebuff which would
have amounted to an insult, and yet
thing which must have caused him
very considerable embarrasment-and
have suggested to other donkeys or
knaves the offering of resolutions in
Congress to open Federal soldiers
homes to ex-Confederate soldiers and
to pension ex-Confederates. And
now comes from the camp at Augusta,
Ga. news of quite disagreeable Incl
dent of Christmas day. A Maryland
company had elaborate decorations
in its street and entwined the Federal
| and Confederate flags in it's decora-
tions. Major Phipps ordered the
Confederate flag down and this made
the men of the company so indignant
that they tore down the whole decora-
ton. Every true Southerner loves
and reverences the Confederate flag
and the Northern man who does not
respect this sentiment toward ii
deserves no consideration in the South
at the same time the raising of 1t in
Federal camp is manifest impro'
priety, which ought never to have
been perpetrated, and which has
caused friction in the camp and else
where, without any resulting benefit
The South can take care OF it
living soldiers and OF the graves o
/! It's dead 1t will also treasure it'
traditions and history and continue
to honor the flag which for four year
hoated over it as its very own; bu
there is no need to obtrude it upol
unfricndly eyes and certainly no oc
casion to unfurl it within any cam
l of the Federal army. This is a mat
ter of dignity as well AS of taste
