pointed Special Healtn Officer for
Sumter County by County Supervisor
P. M. Pitta, to take in hand and see
what could be one to prevent the
?prer.d of the epidemic of small pox
at Hagood. has reported to Supervisor
Pitta that there are only seven cases
of the dlseaee at Hagood but that
these cases are of a most virulent
type. There are only three negro
families which have the disease and
these families live about a mile from
Hagood.
Everything possible is being done
to prevent the spread of the disease,
and much vaccination is being done
n carrying out this idea.
Mr. Reardon reported that he had
already vaccinated several hundred
negroee and it was probable that
about 1.200 or 1,500 persons would
have to be vaccinated in the commu?
nity. Dr. Kirk is also vaccinating the
white and colored people, and as he
and Mr. Reardon are working togeth?
er to prevent the spread of the dls?
eaee It la probable that it will be
stopped before Mother persons are at?
tacked by It
