WANTS INFORMATION
ABOUT SMALLPOX

A letter has been received from
Judge John L. Buckley of Enterprise,
requesting that information be for
warded him regarding the smallpox
situation in this city. Judge Buckley
is high official in the l. o. o. F.,
Grand Lodge, which will convene in
this city on the 18th inst and desires
this information to disseminate among
the delegates who have been appoint
ed to attend the meeting here.
There has really never been any
smallpox scare among those who live
here and who took time to investi-
gate conditions. There were a few
cases, but they were at once isolated,
and the disease has at no time been
spread over the city," or epidemic.
The cases that were were principally
among the negroes.
The recent campaign of compulsory
vaccination has done wonders to re.
lieve the minds of outside people who
had gathered an erroneous idea of
conditions here. .-.

Washington, d. c., May 10.-That
Woodrow Wilson will have the enthu-
siastic support of the twenty-four dele
gates from Virginia to the Baltimore
convention is the confident claim of
Speaker R. e. Byrd, of the Virginia
House of Delegates, who is the Will
son campaign manager in that state.
A number OF county conventions have
already acted, and the results plainly
show that Governor Wilson is the
overwhelming choice of Virginia Dem
ocrats. A telegram from Mr.. Byrd to
Woodrow Wilson headquarters said:
up to the present time 265 dele
gates have been elected to the state
convention, and of these 1876 are COM
mitted to the candidacy of Governor
Wilson. Many of the remaining sew
enty delegates are openly in favor
of the nomination of the Governor,
and will vote for instructions for him.
The state convention at Norfolk will
certainly declare Wilson the first
choice of Virginia Democracy. The
Norfolk convention will contain 500
delegates

AND MICHIGAN DELEGATES

The Michigan state convention will
not meet until May Is, but its result
is already certain. There will be a
tota! Of 1884 delegates in the conven.
ton. OF these all but 1886 have been
elected. OF those already chosen SOC
are for Woodrow Wilson instructions
and 397 are opposed to instructions.
No other candidate but Wilson has as
yet secured a single delegate. Wilson
will require but 81 of the 1886 yet to
be selected to give him control of the
convention, and the selection of more
than hundred Wilson men is uni
versally conceded in Michigan. This
will add thirty votes to the Wilson
column.
