GENUINE SMALLPOX
Nest Raleigh Case So Pro.
nounced Yesterday.
coIorsd Wom IN Name Eta HI---Contagion
Believed TO Have Come From Dunh---
To Remove Patient.

Yesterday afternoon DR.. j. j. l.. Nc
Cullers, the county physician. and DR..
A IT Gotten, went out to West Raleigh
and finally pronounced tie case of the
colored girl, Eta Hill, to be smallpox.
DR.. McCullers said last night that an
effort would be made this morning to
have the patient removed to the city
pest house. This can be done, he thinks,
by the county paying the expenses of the
patient.
He was first informed of the case, he
says, on Friday by DR.. M. 7. Pope, who
was attending the woman On Saturday
DR.. McCullers visited the case, but was
unable to determine whether or not it
was smallpox, as the eruption was very
irregular and not at all typical. He
concluded to wait for Il few days, and
again on Tuesday saw the woman, but
was still unable to pronounce the case
smallpox. Yesterday afternoon, he again
went out there, with DR.. Gotten, and
they agreed that it was smallpox, al
though not typical case.
In the meantime DR.. Jas. r. Rogers
and Sanitary Inspector T. p. Sale had
seen the case, and neither one was will
ing to pronounce it smallpox.
DR.. McCullers says that on Saturday,
when he first visited the woman, he
warned all the inmates of the house
not to leave it, and notified the neigh
bors not to enter the house. He further
saw Dr.. Pope and told him not to allow
anyone to leave or enter TIE house un-
til the matter could be determined def
nitely.
For several days it WAS impossible to
learn how smallpox could have got to
West Raleigh, but on yesterday the story
came out 1t seems that an old colored
nan has been tramping the country from
Dunn N. c., mendng clocks. There has
been some smallpox in Dunn, and the old
clock repairer has been going through
the country, calling at every house on the
road from Dunn to Raleigh. He boarded
for some time with Angelina Hill and her
daughter. He has not been seen or
heard of since he left their house
So it would be well for everyone to
avoid an old colored clock reparer from
Dunn.
AS stated the other day, the patient
lives close TO the Hillsboro road, next to
Prof. Capehart, and opposite Mr.
Schwart's place

who did more than any other one
man to defeat Bryan in two cam
paigns, an unreconstructed bolter,
the chief conspirator and traitor,
has less claims on the Democrats
