Smallpox Epidemic
In South Carolina
Jovernor's Office Receives Numerous
Reports?Said To
Be Of A Virulent T ?pe
The State, 12th inst.
Smallpox ie alarming the peo>le
of many sections of the State.
vt _ A - * - "
moi since lis nrst appearance in
.896 bas the pest been run out
if the State although it was not ]|
anifeated in a serious form at *
11 times. Reports indicate that 1
here is a larger number of oases ?
ow than at any other time, and
hat in some seetions the type is 4
aslignant There is only one
ray to prevent the spread of the
isease?and that it by vacination. (
t is difficult to get the consent of
eople to be vacinated until the
isease is almost upon them.
Within the last fortnight there "I
seme to have been a great spred 4
f the disease, particularly in the
aunties in the eastern part of the
tale where the colored popular
on is dense. Got. Hey ward has .
een in receipt of numerous let- v
irs and telegrams acfuaiating
im with the condition of affairs
1 respective localities, and he has
>ferred the communications to
le secretary of the State board
f health, Dr. James Evans of
lorence.
The legislature has made an ap- ?
ropriation and the State board
I health is authorised to uae
lat fund in stamping out the
nallpox, but communities can U
sip a great deal bj having vaciation,
without falling baok on
le State to furnish the vacoine
>ints and the medical services, m
he only preventative is vacinatm
and when so many people are
iffering with smallpox it is singu*
r that there is so little interest is
iken in vaccination at places reote
from tbs seat of conttagion.
or with the rapid transit of these
lys smallpox can be carried
iross the State in 24 hours and
quentlyr is carried from one'
)int to another by passengers
ho ought to be in a pest house
While there have been reports gi
1 smallpox ever since the beginng
of the fall, there have been
ore alarming statements in the
it 10 days than since the first
itbreak of the disease just after
e Atlanta exposition,
