CLARKsBURC3. W va. DECEMBER u 1900
HOW II CAME HERE.
Smallpox Origin Traced Down, and the
Democratic press will howl Again.

After all the acrimonious discussion
that has been INDUCED In by the local
democratic papers us to the origin OF
the local condition of the smallpox,
they have not arrived at the true
cause. Rabid accusations have been
hurled at this,and other county officials
and language more emphatic than ele-
CANT has been used TO substantiate u
given position; but in the light Of
facts that have been recently diyulgcd,
the lifting OF the quarantine at Wal
lace had nothing TO do with the first
presence OF the malady here.
1t is a well.known fact now, that
negro gambler by the name OF Horace
Simms came to this town from the
camps on the Short Line Two weeks or
more before the 9Th OF Nov. last.
He and his partner and wife boarded
with old Mrs. Frazier on Lee street.
He became sick there, and complain
ed OF all the symptoms that charac-
terize smallpox, and even showed the
cutaneous eruptions. No one knew
what was the matter with him, as he
declined to call In a physician. The
attack WAS not virulent, and before he
WAS well he began to frequent GER
tain colored gambling resort In this
city, where the rltf-raff of both colored
and white races assembled To worship
the tickle goddess of chance. Now
what was the result ? Every subject
of smallpox among the colored people
In this town has been some one who
frequented that resort. These have
scattered the disease among their
families, or among those with whom
they boarded, or associated.
James Basel contracted the disease
in Berryville, Barbour county, and
came here. The few cases OF strangers
that have been discovered from time
to time are traceable to exposure to
the disease IN some form, but how,
when, or where can not be truthfully
stated,
The fact that people were slow to
believe that the disease was smallpox,
may account for the criminal negli-
gence of those who were in possession
Of these facts, In not acquainting the
proper authorities OF the presence of
suspicious disease. G.
