THE BOARD OP HEALTH GIV? EN EXTBAOBDINABY POWEBS'BY LAW. There are some people in Sumter who have questioned the right of the Board of He Mb to enforce the compulsory vaccination order and the rule requiring smallpox patients and suspecte to be removed from tbe city to the pest house or camp of detention, end for their benefit ai,d enlightenment the following opin? ion obtaioed by the Chairman of the Board cf Health is published : Dr S C. Baker, City Dear Sir: Under the acts of tbe Legisla? ture creatiog tbe Board cf Health a*d defin? ing tba powers and dotie* thereof, tt e Board has be?n given extraordinary powers. It can use such force ag may be necessary in order to carry out any orders made by tbe Board in reference to vaccination, removal of persons from the city who have infectious diseases, or who should te isolated by reason of having com* in contact with such persons. Your powers are absolute, and it would be worse tbao madness for anyone to attempt to successful combat them. Yours trnlv, R 0. PURDY, Chairman Police Committee The following extracts from a letter from Dr James Evana, secretary of the State Board of Health will also be found interest? ing : Dr. S. C. Baker, Sumter, SC: Dear Doctor-I do not know if Sumter ha3 any town ordinance on the tulj?ct; if it has oot, the Town Council ought to meet at once and pa?s,ooe, to give the Health Officer au? thority to arrest any one with a loathsome and contagions disease, and carry and detain bim at a piare sufficiently removed from other residents of the town as to render it impos? sible for him to communicate the disease to others You have as much right to do this 88 you have to artest him to prevent him from inflicting injury and death to one of his neighbors with a weapon. Of conree, you most obtain the authority from your towo authorities The various Acts of the Legisla* ture in regard to sanitation aod the estab? lishment of Boards of Health in towns and cities, give them authority io rass such an ordinance. Ia the country districts, I have sanitary inspectors, duly empowered by the Governor, who have the power and are or? dered, wheo necessary to have smallpox pa? tients arrested and removed to some pest honse and there gnarded until tbey recover; also to arrest and remove to a detention camp efery o?e who has been exposed to others and detain for 16 days. Yours, &c, JAMES EVANS. Smallpox News. Dis S. C Baker a,nd H. V Stuckey, the medical members of the Board of Healtn have decided to take charge of the pest bou3e and will attend all patients who may be sent the.-e for detention Dr Baker will have charge cf tbe pest boase for one week and then Dr. Stackey will be on duty for the same length .of tims The Board of Health endeavored to employ a regular physician to take charge of tbe psst bouse, but none of the local physi sians would Hccept the positon, cooeequenly the two members of the Board volunteered to perform the unpleasant bot nectssaiy duty. No new cases of the disease have been dis? covered or reported to the Health Officer. Tbo8 far tbere have been but two c?es, and both of these are on a f?ir way toward re? covery. ----*?. ?. A Great Lecture. Rev. Thomas Dixon, of America, spoke in the Opera HouseTbarsday night aod bespoke as no other man who bas ever vi it d Sumter has ever spoken nor could opeak It waa ? ltrciu<e tbat will ?ive tn thc m mo ries of bis bearers so long as recollection and reason bold doa.inion io their minds There is no teed to speak io pr i.eof such a speaker, tboee who have beard him, know all tbat could be said, while those wbo bave been denied that pleasure would attribute to enthusiasm the expressions or siocete appreciation and ad? miration that might be peoned. Tbere could be nothing finer, stronger, more inspiring, more patriotic than bis intro? ductory remarks io reference to the Cuban situation. The mao who would not feel thai a war with Spain ts justifiable iu the eyes of men and approved of God, after bearing Thomas Dixon's indictment of Spain and his views of the duty of tbe United States, is a creature unworthy of c:tizership in any coun? try and a callous hearted villiao The lecture on the "New Woman" was admirable in conception and so delivered that to sit and listen for an bcur and a half was a rare pleasure that ended all too soon Dixon is an original thinker and his point of view is ofteo far different from that cf the average mao, bot bis premie*a are always well taken and his arguments onfioswerable.
