s. g Ias,ssSsted for ssegseef OF Duties as
= Quarantine 0ffieer.
Charlotte, Sept zs-Dr. G. S. Nc
Laughlin, county superintendent OF
Health. also county Quarantine officer
under the new State Enidiology law,
was indicted here yesterday for fall
ure to discharge his duties in refer
ence to his Office as quarantine officer
for Mecklenburg County This is the
first prosecution under the State quar-
antine law recently enacted by the
General Assembly, and was instituted
for noncompliance with the Public
Laws of North Carolina, 1917, chap
ter. 263.
Three counts were brought against
DR.. Mclaughlin by DR. T. M. Jordan,
representative of the State Board
of Health. These were: Failure to
register to householders the proper
instructions regarding the control of
contagious diseases; failure to pre-
pare for pub blication in county newspa-
pers monthly report of cases of con-
tagious diseasts in the county and
neglect to supply the public school
teachers of the county the Instructions
they should havr regarding the con-
troll of contagious diseases. DR.. Nc
Laughlin readily pleaded guilty to the
charges and submitted to the action of
the court.
The particular incidents that led TO
the investigation of DR.. Mclaughlin
work as quarantine officer of Meek
1enburg county were reports made to
the State Board of Health by the citi-
zens of Davidson Of an increasing
number of scarlet fever cases at that
place. also at Cornelius. The Board,
determined as it is that contagious
diseases shall be controlled as far as
passible by means of the law. inme-
diately sent a representative DR.. Jor-
dan, to Mecklenburg to know wherein
lay the responsibility of these newly
developed cases of scarlet fever. It
was found that sixteen of the schools
in the county had been open two
weeks and that neither the parents or
householders no the teachers had re-
ceiYed literature or Instructions from
the county quarantine officer regard
ing their duty in regard to Infectious
and contagious diseases. as is reQuir-
ed by the State Quarantine law. This
responsibility was centered on the
county quarantine officer and constf-
tuted the charges for his indictment.
