SMALLPOX IN THIS STATE
The Disease I'm Twenty Counties-In
speetor Long at Work-Compulsory
Vaccination Probab bic

Raleigh, " c.. March l5.-Smallpox
continues 10 spread in this state. Up
to tonight its appearance has been re-
ported in twenty counties OF the state.
The latest cases reported are from
Guilford, Moore and Warren. The
counties in which cases have been re-
ported TO the state board OF health are:
Currituck. Pasquotank, Perquimans.
Gates, Bertie, Tyrrell, Edgecombe,
Warren, Wayne, Johnston, Wake Ala
nance, Guilford, Buncombe, New Han
over, Northampton, Columbus, Halifax,
Mcdowell and Moore.
So rapidly is the disease assuming
the proportions of an epidemic that
the state board of health has appoint
ed a smallpox inspector. DR.. Henry F.
Long, who successfully treated seven
ty-five cases in Iredell county last
summer, was selected. He will visit
infected districts, compel quarantine
of patients and direct their treatment.
He began service this morning, going
first TO Warrenton. From there he
will so to Burlington. The disease is
worse at these points than anywhere
else. 1t is especially bad among the
mill operatives at Burlington. Compul-
sorry vaccination in the town and coun-
ty has been resorted to.
At Greensboro, the authorities have
given the people three days notice 10
be vaccinated and failure 10 comply
with the ordinance will subject the
offender to $50 fine.
There is one case in Wilmington and
it is rigidly isolated.
The town of Clinton, in Sampton
county, has quarantined against Will
mington and Norfolk.
The greatest secrecy prevails in in
fected districts as to extent and fatali-
ty Of the disease and this is one of the
reasons that induced the board of
health to appoint an inspector. Unless
the epidemic is speedily checked, COM
pulSory vaccination will be ordered
over the entire state.

SIXTH IIMUNES DISBANDED

1t was a white regiment The men
were from North Carolina, Tennessee
and Kentucky. In consequence of the

the men at the time they got their
wages. Five special trains over four
roads left the city tonight for the ac-
commodation of the ex-soldiers. Dur.
ing the day the men behaved excellent
ly. AS one train was pulling out to-
night there was a liberal discharge of
firearms. 1t was reported that there
had been riot and that the regulars
had been ordered out but that was in
correct. 1t seems that some of the men
in exuberance of gladness at having
escaped military discipline celebrated
by firing pistols into the air and shout
ing. About 100 shots were fired No
damage and no arresA made:- Four
of the trains left with utter absence
of boisterous demonstration. There

Correspondent of The MeSSenger.)
Fayetteville, n. c., March Is.
Fayetteville is assured of a new and
very beneficial enterprise. A few days
since Mr.. Arhley, of Paterson, n. j.,
owning large silk manufacturing inter-
ests in New Jersey and Pennsylvania,
paid a visit to this city, induced by
correspondence with Messrs, Holt
president of the Holt-Morgan and Holt
Williamson cotton factories, and A.
H. Slocomb, a public-spirited and sue
cessful business man.
Mr.. ,Arhley's stay here was brief, but
eminently satisfactory-so much so
that after studying our labor condi-
tions, climate, ETC., Mr.. Arhley has
purchased large body Of land, south
west of the town, from DR.. T. NJ. Hun
ter, where he designs erecting a silk
spinning mill, to be followed probably
by a weaving factory, if success at
tends the first enterprise.
Let your correspondent put himself
right here. He knew all these facts
three days ago, but they received pub
ication in advance of this letter in the
local papers, for the reason that the
writer held himself bound by promise
to the parties interested to withhold
the matter until now from the news
paper.
Work is being pushed night and day
to equip Hope Mills factory No. 2 with
a steam plant, on account Of the de-
structiOn> Of the dam by a freshet a
