Negro cropper, who lives on the G. l..
Cherry place. Recently he has been
attacked with a virulent case of small
pox, and has made his home with the
family Of Bob Jones on the Abernathy
place. Monday Roddey left Jones's
house and went to Catawba Junction,
and from there took in the country, de-
claring he was going to give "every
id white man" in the community
the disease if possible. The neighbor-

ed of the conditions, it's editor called on
DR.. J. E. Massey, Sr., and notified him
of the situation, and extended request
that he, as the representative Of the
state board Of health outside Of the

antine Roddey. DR.. Massey went to
Catawba Junction that day, but had
not returned up to noon yesterday. In
order that the public may understand
the scope of DR.. Massey's authority, we
make the following extract from the
commission issued to him by DR.. Jas.
Evans, secretary of the state board:
II will authorize you to act as the
agent Of the state board Of health, and

and keep away from infected houses,

| ing, or interferes with your work, In
controlling the disease, go before
magistrate and sue out warrant for
their arrest" In another letter he says
to DR.. Massey that he would prefer for
him to take charge of all cases in the
country surrounding Rock Hill.
