The Quarantine Against the Mtll District Itaisod At a meeting of the Town board of health Saturday, Dr. J. F. Mackey. the physician placed in charge of the smallpox cases in the cotton mill district by the state bdard ot health, furnished the board with the requisite certificate that nil cases of smallpox in the mill district and all exposed persons had been placed under strict quarantine and guarded and would he kept so until all danger of tlieir | communicating the disease to oth| era had passed, and that all poisons except a few invalids bad been vaccinated and that they would he as soon as their condi tion would permit, the hoard decided to raise tho quarantine which was done. Tho town council was notitied of tho action of the hoard of health and at a call meeting n | thore appoarina no further necessity for the continuance of the quarantine on its part also raised the quarantine it had established against the mill district. As slated in our last issue we think all danger is passed, and we feel as safe from smallpox "as ft coon feels up a tree with the axe lost." Everybody else seems to feel the same way and to he entirely over the scare of two weeks ago when it was announced that Mr. Dunlap had the disease. Prompt quarantine .and vaccination is certainly the suio means to stamp out smallpox. Child Burned to Death Marie Rodgers, a child of Rainey Rodgers, col., living on Mr. B.
