Smallpox ta reported to have broken ont io Camden, io the Rafting Creek neighbor? hood, and near Mannvil.e, within the past week There bave been no new cases reported io the town of Manning within the past few days and as nearly every one in the town bas been vaccinated, is boped by tbe residents of the place that there will be bot lew if any more cases in the town Tbe town authori? ties and the resideni physicians are sparing oo effort to prevent ao epidemic and tbe situa? tion at present gives ground for bops that tbev will ne successful ic their undertaking. From the most reliable sources it is learned that at this date smallpox is prevalent in nearly every section of th ; State aod is grad? ually spreading io tbe country districts, where, ic a majority of cuses, no precautions have beeo taken to check its progress or to vaccinate those who are not immune. In the t )WD9 and cities where the pieper precautions have be?n taken there ts bot little danger efl the spread of the disease, but in tbe coco ry districts and towns that have not enforced compulsory vaccination great danger does exist, for without vaccination quarantine reg? ulations are nut little better than useless, for smallpox is now scattered broadcast, and it is impossible to successfully quarantine any place against all points ot infection.
