Correspondence of The Messenger1
Clinton, N. c., March I.
Clinton is now entirely Tree OF small
pox and there is no apprehension of anv
further outbreak of it here. In view cf
disappearance of the disease the quar-
antine at Warsaw against travel from
Clinton has been removed. This is
cause for rejoicing to the travelling pub
lie interested. on account of the annoy
ance which this rigid quara ntine mas
given. People can now pass through
Warsaw to and from Clinton without
interruption or inconvenience.
1t is due the town of Clinton AMI
Sampson county to say that no effort
has been spared on the part of the au-
thoritieS to stamp out smallpox ever
since it was discovered. DR.. r. Z. Lee,
superintendent of health, has managed
the situation with great skill and Ge-
serves the highest praise for his untir-
ing labors in the official position hell
by him. Though not an immune. re at
tended every case brought TO his atte l.
ton and incurred personal risks that
were not pleasant to contemplate. The
community owes him a debt of graf
tude which it will not overlook.
The Joint cost to the town of Clinton
and Sampson county in stamping ous
smallpox is said to be s415. which Is
considered a very close figure. all thi@gs
considered. The town bears one-fou'th
Of the expense and the county three
fourthS.
The news from DR.. John A. Stevens
who is in St. Joseph's hospital. Bal:i-
more. where he recently underwent
dangerous operati ton, is not encourage
ing. His relatives and friends here are
apprehensive as to the result. 1t Is
said now that a second operation fs
necessary and the attending physiciarS
hold out very little hope of recovery:
still such is possible and is prayed for
by the many friends Of DR.. Stevens in
this community.
DR.. Windy. lately located at George
town. s. c.. has located here for the
practice of his profession. He and Mrs.
Windy are for the present living at the
Murphy house.
