S The Quarantine Against the Mtll District liaised At a meeting of the Town board of health Saturday, Dr. J. F. Mackey. tho physician placed in charge of the smallpox cases in the cotton mill district by the state board ot health, furnished the board with the requisite certificate that all cases of smallpox in the mill district and all exposed persons had been pluced under strict quarantine and guarded and would be kept so until all danger of their communicating tho disease to others had passed, and that all poisons except a few invalids bad been vaccinated and that they would be as soon as their condi tion would permit, the board decided to raise tho quarantine which was done. The town council was notified of the action of the hoard of health and at a call meeting there appearing no further necessity for tho continuance of the quarantine on its part also raised the quarantine it had established against the mill district. As stated in our last issue we think all danger is passed, and wo feel as safe from smallpox "as a coon feels up a tree with the axe lost." Everybody else seems to feel the same way and to be 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 sure means to stamp out smallpox. Child Burned to Death Marie Rodgers, a child of Rainey Rodgers, col., living on Mr. B. Cunningham's place West of town was seriously burned Mon~ day afternoon and died that uight. Another child of Rodgers was also badly burned.
