TIE DEATH OF WILEY RUSH.

be matter of interest to the people OF
North Carolina, and possibly surprise,
to know that the late Wiley Rush. of
Asheboro, died of smallpox-more es-
pecially since it was reported that he
died of congestion of the lungs. The facts
are these:
Mr.. Rush, who was solicitor was holl-
ing court at Salisbury. 1t was a two
weeks term. On Sunday, at the end of the
first week instead of going home he ran
down to Gastonia To attend the Meth
odist conference, then in session. At
Charlotte Mr.. w. w Burroughs, travel
ing representative of the Oglesby De-
Witt Co, of Lynchburg. Va, boarded the
train bound for the same place on the
same mission.
At the supper table at Gastonia Mr..
Rush said: ''Will, / have a cousin in
town l haven't seen in fifteen years.
want you to go with me around tonight
to see him"
The cousin referred to was Mr.. James
Neill, and they found him quite sick in
bed with an affection of the lungs which
was supposed to be pneumonia, so they
did not stay long.
From Gastonia Mr.. Rush returned TO
Salisbury and Mr.. Burroughs started ou-
on the road. On November Both Mi.
Rush wrote to Mr.. Burroughs the fol
lowing note: (The original was shown
me tonight ard is, perhaps, the last let
ter ever written by Wiley Rush..
"Asheboro, n. c., Nov.NSO, 1901
Dear WILL have just received a
letter from DR.. Wilson. of Gastonia, say
ing that James Neill - has bro
ken out with smallpox. l write you so
that you may take some precautions if
you think necessary. The doctors whom
l have consulted say there is no danger,
but l think l shall be vaccinated and be
careful to hide out if l get the least bit
sick. / am awful sorry asked you to 50
along, but of course / didn't dream Of
anything like this.
Trusting that we may both escape,
with best wishes, hastily,
"Your friend,
WILEY RUSH"
In exactly fifteen Gays both men were
taken sick. Mr.. Rush was at home in
Ashebcro where he had been holding
court, and Mr.. Burroughs was in Fay
etteville. In three days NJ. Rush died
with congestion of the lungs" Mr.. Bur
Ioughs, finding that he was desperately
sick, started for Charlotte, his home.
When he got to MaXton he was almost
crazy and found he could proceed no
further. He went to the home of a
widow lady, Mrs. A. w. Morrison, his
wife's cousin. Dr. McNatt was summoned
and he pronounced him suffering with Il
severe affection of the lungs aud treated
him for the same.
In four or five days he broke out with
a case of smallpox in it's most malignant
form. 1t may be well to remark here hat
neither Mr.. Rush nor Mr.. Burroughs had
ever been vaccinated. Several physicians
were summoned from other towns and it
is said they pronounced it one the worst
cases ever seen in the State.
Shortly after he received the above
letter from Mr.. Rush which was forward
ed him from Charlotte. At that time Mr..
Rush was dead and buried, but Mr. Bur
roughs' nurse did not let him know it
until sometime afterwards
