Small pox would soon be stamp
ed out ?f every community where
it breaks out would do as Laueas
Ur has done.- V ivo years age
when tlx0*Mlisease appeared it
some of our neighboring towni
vaccination was made compulsory
hero and white and black wen
vaccinated. The tirst and only
case in the town developed tei
days ago. The party has beet
; quarantined in his home and wil
bo tintil all dunger of comtnunica
I ting thedisense has pasted. Vac
I oination of the town was orderet
(
l and four days have elapsed sinct
the phybicians completed tin
work. This prompt action or
the part of the authorities hat
doubtless stamped the disease
out here and all fear that it woulc
| spread has subsided. As a fur
I ther precaution to protect th<
town and the people of the surrounding
country who do theii
trading here a strict quarantim
has been inaugurated against the
cotton mill district and vicinity
preventing persons from the mil!
district coming into town and anj
person from the town going into
| the mill district, as will be seer
I from an ordinance published in
this issue. Ten guards were
sworn in and all avenues to the
mill district are kept guarded. Sc
touch for what the towu has don<
and is doing.
At the cotton mill, as stated it
our last issue, Dr. Mackey was
put in charge by the State boarc
of health. He began at once
with vaccination and the entin
population there except thirty
persons, had been vaccinated up
to Thursday afternoon. The dis
oase lms been kept confined to tbc
bouses in which it had appearei
before our last issue- no new cases
appearing. The mill authori
tie8 will keep strictly quarantine!
all houses in which there is small
pox until tho danger of couiniuni
eating it is past and will use even
other precaution.
And now a word to the pan
ioky. The editor of JTbo Ledger
always endeavors to bo hones I
with its readers. When a cast
of smullpox broke out in Lancas
tor we did not suppress the fact
Wo published it at once. Wc
ielt it our duty to put the people
on guard, for then they would
use precaution and the chances of
its spreading would be miminizet
and such has been the case. The
rpeople of the country remainec
at heme until they could feel as
sured they would not come ii
contact with persons infected witl
the disease. .Now, that strict qua
rantine is maintaiued, vaccinator
has been enforced and every
other precaution taken, the people
of the country feel with the
people of the town that the dangei
is over and that the disease has
been nipped in the bud. That is
unr way 01 tmntcing. If wo thou
ght otherwise we would say so
for dollars and cents do not
weigh with us when placed in th<
balance with danger to human life
