The Facts About Small Pox.

In view OF the continued excitement
ana unrest over the smallpox In Edge
combe, the Tarboro Southerner last
week made the following clear state.
meat
"In August, 1898, lady with her
Child living in No. 3 township, visited
Norfolk, Va, and on their return about
September LIST, the child had small
pox. Before the disease was recognized
other mem ers OF the same family had
had 1t. AS soon as this became known
the quarantine law was enforced. Bu:
prior to the quarantine the neighbo-s,
| Harris by name, came over to nurse the
first cases. and in short while all OF
Mr.. Harris family except himself, who
Was vaccinated, had the disease. A
family near Mr.. Harris then moved out
OF the neighborhood, but In three
weeks his children had the disease.
Still he did not call in physician, or
report the cases till others had deyelop-
ed. There have been about IS cases
and one death. At present there ere
foar cases, all convajescent and the
neighborhood under quarantine.
''At no time have the cases been
nearer town than five miles.
"The county Is now furnishing vac
cine virus free, and the medical men
az body are vaccinating free of charge
eat the present time about eight
thousand people have been vaccipated.
upon the recommendation of the
board Of health, the town aldermen
passed compulsory vaccine ordinance,
which went into force on the sixth day
OF February. The county commits. on
ers will pass a similar one at their first
meeting.
sit is nov incumbent upon the town |
and county officers to build we'll !
and modern hospital and
house of detention, but it is not wise to |
build temporary or cheap affair, for
such al equipment is necessary, and
should be owned by all towns and cities
But OF all measures employed to pre-
vent the spread Of mall-pox none are
20 important aud efficacious as vaccina-
Ion, and In view Of this fact it seems
strange upon first sight that smallpox |
should prevail in civilized commit
lity."
