THE SMALLPOX SITUATION.

We give In this issue the otll;lal
report as made by the County
Health physician TO the County
Health Board, showing the number
of smallpox cases Ia Maury county,
including Columbia.
1t Is not gratifying to report the
presence of the disease at all at the
same time 1t IL gratifying to con-
tradict with these figures the highly
sensational and alarming reports
with which Madame Rumor has
been so busy OF late.
1t shows that in all of Maury
county-city, country, pesthousas
and all-there are only 1856. Quite
falling off from 800 to 1900, as the
Madam had it. And of these only
% are inside the corporation Of Co.
lumbia 475 short Of the number one
of our very conservative citizens
placed IL at some ten days ago.
When the HERALD first bega n to call
for this report, he threw up his
hands in alarm and said, don't do
1t; there are five hundred cases In
Columbia"
Not only is the number considera-
bly, smaller than was expected, but a
study of the location will show near
ly all of them to be Ia negro quar-
tiers and a safe distance from the
business part of the city. Only eight
white cases reported in the corpora
ton, and none of these live anywhere
near the central or business part OF
the. city. We venture the assertion
that not half of our readers-nOt
even among our city readers, who
are supposed to be familiar with CO.
lumbia-could find half these houses
where the cases are reported, In a
days search, so remote, out of the
way and unknown are The streets
and localities named.
We mention these facts not to
minimize the danger more than we
should no. to discourage the Health
Board from vigorous, prompt and
thorough action, nor TO encourage
anybody in any sort of resistance
The disease is here and should be
stamped out. Aud to that end, the
Health officials and the people alike
should do their duty. But the pur-
pose of this article is to prove by the
facts and cures, as we think they
fairly show, that the people from
this county or neighboring counties
run no risk whatever In coming tc
Columbia to do their trading OF
transactany business they may have
We have agited this question fol
the last week or so, believing thai
the figures would demonstrate, al
we think they do demonstrate, tb'
absolute foolishness of any town OF
county quarantining against Colum
bia, or anybody staying away from
Columbia through fear of the small
pox.
There may be some who will con
tinue to scatter these scare reports
some who are rivals in business
from mercinary motives, SOM
for the pure love of lying. NJ

largely discounted. The facts and thu
figures, the mildness of the type ant
the location of the injected houses
speak for themselves; and will
these to contradict the Eighty i'm
Imagination of the ever active ano
hysterical sensationalist, 1t ought &
be easy now for business to resum
its normal conditions and our mer
chants to be as busy as usual.

TIE CREATION OF WOMAN.

There has always been something more
or less unsatisfactory to woman in the
Bible account of her creation. But it is
the best account we have and the only
true one, as well as the one that gives
woman the highest position The Hindu's
legend for instance about the creation
0f woman, which is offered by the enc
mics of this sex against the Bible ac-
cot'ut of the rib creation is not compli-
men AIRY to woman, and is not likely tc
be accepted by the fair sex as genuine
Here is the Hindu legend of woman's
creation:
eat the beginning of time, Twashtri-
the Vulcan OF the Hindu mythology--cre-
ated the world But when he wished ia
create a woman he found that he had
employed all his materials in the crea-
ton of man. There did not remain one
solid element Then Twashtrl, perplex-
ed, fell into a profound meditation. He
reused himself to do as follows: He took
the roundness of the moon, the undula-
tions of the serpent the enhancement OF
climbing plants, the trembling of grass
the slenderness of the rose vine, the vel
vet of the flower, the lightness of the leaf
the glance of the fawn, the gaiety of the
sun s rays, the Tears Oh the mlst, tHs
Inconsistency of the wind, the timidity OF
the hare, the vanity of the peacock, the
softness of the down on the throat OF
the swallow, the hardness of the diamond
tle sweet favor of honey. the cruelty OF
TIE tiger, the warmth of fire, the chill
of snow, the chatter of the jay, and the
cocing of the turtle dove. He united all
this and formed a woman. Then he made
