Not Smallpox, But Rash.

A West Tennessee physician advances
an interesting opinion on the disease that
is prevalent in portions of the South, and
which is called smallpox by nearly all
the doctors. He contends that the disease
is not smallpox at all, but belongs to the
numerous family of rashes, This brings
TO mind that some frst-class physicians
in other portions Of the state have taken
diagnosis Of some cases of the disease.
Down at Columbia, DR.. W. X. Sheldon
who is regarded as one Of the best physi-
clans in Middle Tennessee, stoutly main
tanned, against nearly all his professional
that the disease there is not
smallpox. There have been other dis
senters to the general verdict. The West
Tennessee physician who advances the
theory that the prevalent disease Is not
smallpox Is DR.. W. B. York. of Crockett
county. DR.. York does not claim to be
more wise than other physicians. aud
merely gives this information for the con-
siderstion Of the profession. In this con-

Boer Women Help IN War.

None but the elderly women among the
Transvaul Beers, says the New York sum-
can remember the great trek OF $780,
when their fathers and grandfathers aban-
doned their homes they had made in Natal
and toiled up the passes to the lofty pla-
teau where they founded their republic
Those DAYS were more trying than any
the Transvaal women ever saw until the
present war began.
They were still living in their tent wag-
ons when the terrible wars with the Met
abele branch OF the Zulu tribe began.
No women could show more wonderful
spirit and constancv than those wives and
mothers of the Boer pioneers in the midst
of appalling dangers and hardships which
did not end until the Matabe!es had been
driven North of the Crocodile river.
Not few of those women, and their chill
dren with them, persisted by the assegals
of savages, but not one OF them would
have dreamed OF returning to the peaceful
homes and gardens in Natal which they
left behind. The British had proclaimed
that country their own, their cOlonlsts
we're pouring in and the Beers would die
before they would come again under Brit
sh rule.
The wives and mothers Of the soldiers
who now confront the British are the de-
scendants of those stout-hearted women
who loaded the guns of their husbands
and bows while savages rushed upon the
brush heaps that were the sole protection
around their laagers. Perhaps no women
in the world have changed so little in two
generations. The women of the Boer
homesteads now are just what their grand
mothers were when the Matabeles sought
,n.ir lives. The Bible is still their only
ur,k, they still prefer quiet he ana the
.nnol duties of their modest homes; ana
the, are like their grandmOthers III me
courage, consistency and sublime dew non
p4n which they are facing the awiui 'fials
Of another crucial period in the history OF
their people.
A report sent by the French cVnsu al
Pretoria to his government, though "rlei,
is perhaps the best statement yet Re wed
q, the part the women OF the Doe are
ling in The present war. He sayS they
al, dom, tyerything the, can to aiu the
soldiers in the field. Indeed hundreds OF
them are in the field and form the maJ orr
ty of the working force in the ambulance
and hospital service.
In their denunciatiOn Of the British
they are far more bitter and outspoken
than the men themselves, but in their
mission Of mercy they know no enemies
All the wounded British soldiers who have
| fallen into their hands have been treated
as brothers and friends. The Boer nurse:
extend to them the same care that they
! give to their own stricken soldiers. VIZ
all know that dispatches from the Brit
ish army have often referred to the kline
treatment received by their wounded
who are prisoners in the Boer camps.
