Smallpox In CASTOR.
Gastonia Gazette, Thursday: What
is the smallpox situation now, Doctor?'
was the querry The Gazette put to DR..
]. H. Jenkins, the county physician,
yesterday afternoon. II think I have
it under complete control and believe
we are near the end Of 1t for this sea-
son. The last case was brought IN a
week ,ago from McAdenville, and the
time is now past for fearing any new
cases from that point. There may pos
sibly be some further developments at
Stanley, though I am not at all appre-
hensive. By the way, ought to tell
you of the highly commendable action
Of two young men from Stanley. They
walked all the way from their farms to
my house and reported to me that they
had been exposed to the disease and
wished to go to the pest house. I told
them I would not send them to the pest
house, but would vaccinate them and
place them in the detention house. Their
names were Mauney and Armstrong.
I think their behavior cannot be too
highly commended" And so do We.
II everybody took the same sensible
view that these young men did, small
pox would soon play out.
