Found Patients in Isolated (Jump and Every Proper Precaution Taken. No occasion for Quarantine. To the Editor of The State. I came to Batosburg yesterday j j by request of Or. James Evans, ! secretary of the State board of i health, and Hon. E. R. Stead man, i Intendent of Batesburg. I have I j taken charge of the smallpox out! break here. There were 15 cases, ! j of which 14 were colored and one j white. 1 dismissed from smallpox camp j today eight cases, leaving seven |on hand. I found upon ray arrival a well! regulated smallpox camp and a camp of detention, both in isolat ed places and under guard. With but one exception (one white case' and the family) all smallpox patients and those exposed are in quarantine. I have never found | an epidemic at any place during I all of my exp?riences as smallpox I inspector which was under more careful supervision, and I assure' I that Batesburg is doing al' in its power to stamp out the disease. There is no more necessity for ! ! a quarantine against Batesburg I than there has been against any other town or city in this State in which smallpox prevailed. Peol pie can visit this place with safety ^because they cannot come in con ' tact with smut I pox as all cases are j quarantined. Mr. E. R. Steadman, the intendont. has devoted about all of i his time for the past two weeks in M discovering cases and taking them ! to pest house and camp of deten[ tion. There are some cases in the country districts which I will take i charge of and I will vaccinate all ,of the people in the infected conn, (try districts is soon as 1 receive ; orders from Gov.
