A Hundred Cases of Smallpox. ^ The State has information that there arc nearly a hundred eases f of smallpox at the mill town of ,j Pelh'im in this State. In a letter h to the Stato it is said: 'The chair- e man of the Greenville hoard of ,, health is authority for the state- p ment that there are nearly 100 cases of small pox at Pel ham, a j mill town on the lino between Spartanburg and Greenville coun ^ ties. Dr Jones, the chairman, I understand, has instructed the j secretary of the hoard to write to 'j the State hoard of health, sug- c gesting that they take hold of the { matter. I do not know that the ^ Greenville secretary has done so, A hut Dr Jones seems to think the situation a grave one. , 'The mill authorities held to the chicken pox theory and called in Dr \V C Black of Greenville, who was the chief supporter of the J chicken pox idea. The disease has assumed such large propor- i tions that the mill men and Pel- < ham doctors are now coming to their senses, and two or three ' physicians went to Dr Jones for 1 advice.' i Woman Killed in Greenville. < Special to The State.
