son who could not show a vaccination
scar was subjected to vaccination.
The work started among the negroes
where the disease was first discovered
and house to house canvas has been
made ever since. The officers will
reach the business section after all
the residences have been worked and
every proprietor and employe will be
subject to the vaccination.
The vaccination of school children
has been compulsory and it is safe TO
say that when the campaign ends the
disease will be effectually checked in
Hattiesburg.
The officers vaccinating the negroes
tell many amusing stories and say
that the colored population have a
horror of vaccination In many in
stances they will hide under the beds,
in closets or most any place that
can be found, on hearing that the
physicians and officers are in the
neighborhood They are invariably
caught and after they have been sub
jected to the process of vaccination

Reports Grossly Exaggerated;
Only II Cases SMALLPOX

So many exaggerated reports are
being circulated in regard to small
pox in this city, and the News office
is beseiged with so many inquiries,
that an effort was made this morning
to get at least near the truth. One
would think, from the wild rumors
afioat that smallpox was epidemic
here; that it was "all over town." but
inquiry at headquarters reveals the
fact that, so far as the health officers
know or can trace, there are only
fourteen cases in the entire city. Now
don't that shock you?
Out of these fourteen cases, only
three are white people. There is one
case on East Pine street, one on
Laurel avenue and one on Katy ave-
nue.. Every precaution is being used
to prevent the spread of the disease.
Every case among the negro popu-
lation is thought to be known to the
officials and these are housed safely
in the pest house. They were found
in the Johnson and Crymes quarters
and in the bottoms" on Mobile

Primaries.

Concord, n. H., April 24.-Victory
in the Republican presidential pr-
maries in New Hampshire practically
was conceded to Taft last night by
Roosevelt leaders, including Governor
Bass. Returns received at the Roose-

cities and towns gave Taft $50 dele
gates and Roosevelt 234, out of a to-
tai of 81 in the state convention.
The Roosevelt leaders conceded the
first district to Taft, but claimed a
fighting chance in the second district,
although admitting incomplete re-
turns showed Taft lead there.
