C., JANUARY 7, 1*97. | We most emphatically deny the report that there Is a case of small pox la Union. - * ? SMALL POX. VACCINATION, ETC. On Monday quite u commotion was created in Union upon the report that there was a ease of small pox or variola at the eotton mills. , Dr. W. B. Nott. went over and examined the ease, and at that time he could not tell whether it was a case of small pox or not, but we are informed that he saw the patient on Hi Inly a Auspicious one if all the statements we heard made were true, and well bears watching, lie having come tfrom Atlanta, where there is, and lias lbeen small pox. We are liable to 'isve small pox at any time, and no o ie but a fool or ignoramus will deny it. Wd are on a main thoroughfare of travel. Wc are In close touch with the outside worM. and by contact of mail* or persons this dreaded disease is liable to spread. Any hitelligent person can state the truth of these facts. The question immediately arises, *-!> n ?f| y < unuu'aa ??J as simple as the question. Vaccination. Throw up your bunds in holy horror you smurt old women, who have learned more by twist of tongue, than was ever told by Moses and the prophets, bray louder thun ever you knowing wiseacres, who only differ from that well known musical animul, in having two legs instead of four. The poet never mudc a truer statement than when he said "a little j learning is a dangerous thing." As \*e said above there is danger of small pox reaching Union. There are thirteen cases in the pest-j';ousc in Greenville now, and a strong probability of some cases in our truthful sister city, Spartanburg. Well, suppose it does come, and lands over on factory hill, where houses are thick, what would lie the result? Why, it would shut down those mills, probably for months. All operatives that wero able would liy to some other mill and produce a regular panic. Beforo being used svgain the houses would have to he thoroughly fumigated or burned, What would all of this cost tin- city of Union, ill dollars anil cents, mil. Mile of fear, feelings anil sufferings'' Bias any one figured it. up? We say it would bankrupt Union. Tills all can be prevented by vueriiiution. "<>, J don't want to be vaccinated, I iniglit lose my arm!" "I will run the risk of small pox!" ( Jt is the duty of every parent to have his child vaccinated, lie does not I i know where his child may have to go, sooner or later, moving about from I place to place and liable to contract small pox at many points. Very few , of the children in Union today will | spend all their days here. We would Im- very much pleased t o see a person . who had lost an arm or suffered to an I unreftHonuble degree from vaccinat ion by u docent and competent pliys- j Jcifu. We liearl of mouy. but j hare seen none. Nearly all tho lymph or vaccine matter used now is taken from the calf, and is only used on one person. In old times they vaccinated persons from the lymph taken from tho scab of a recently vaccinated person. In that way many diseases were contracted. Hut that custom is about discurtled, and animal lymph has been generally used sinco 1870 in the United States. Wo give below some important facts concerning vaccination and small pox, which will do for all to road and rememoer: "Various objections have been brought forward against vuccinulion; the only 0110 to which importance is attached by medical men is that a danger exists of introducing syphilis into the framo by the use of infected lymph. Dr. Farr deduced from the statistics of the small pox epidemic of 1871, that if 100,000 vaccinated persons be exposed to certain risks of contagion, 100 will bo attacked, ten of which will die; while if 100,000 unvaccinated people be exposed to the same risks, at least 700 will be attacked, of whom 270 will die. The English Commission of 187J1 settled the question in the minds of legislators, as all statistics have since done. The German Vaccination Commission of 1884 came to the following conclusions:" "With rare exceptions, one survived attack of small pox confers immunity against subsequent attacks Vuce'.nation exerts a similar protection. The duration of the protectioi varies within wide limits, but is, or the uverage, ten years. At least twc well-developed vaccino vesicles ar? necessary to ensure an efficient protection. Kevaccination is neces sary ton years after primary vaccina tion. The vaccination condition o the community Increases the relative protection against small pox acquire* by the individual and hence vaccina tion is beneficial not. only individual ly but generally. Vaccination mat have an injurious elTeet under certait circumstances. In the use of liumai lymph, the danger of transferrin* syphilis however slight, cannot b< entirely excluded. Any other bat effects are apparently only due to tlv consequences of the wound, e.g., ery mum as to make the benefit of vncci nation infinitely outweigh them Since the introduction of vaccination no scientifically-proved increase o uny particular disease or of the gen oral mortality bus occured. Slnct the dangers to health and life (vncci -syphilis, etc.) occasionally connectei with the use of human lymph can b< avoided by the use of animal lymph and since vaccination with unima lymph has been recently so perfectcc as almost to equal vaccination will human lymph, the latter is to bt gradually superseded l>y animn SANTUC. Santtc, .Juno 4. Clnistmas li;ts uonte and gone and the New Year is in again. Old Santa t'iaim put lii his appearance, as usual, and tin children were made happv. We have had Christmas trees, big dinners, line suppers, etc., and every Imdy, Ih?iIi old and young, have lieen made to forget for the time, at least, the hard times. Everyone enjoyed the festivities, and we have not heard of an accident to mar the pleasures of the holidays, and our jieople are braced up for the stern realities of another year. The citi/ens held a meeting last Saturday and elected delegatus to the Cotton Wrowers' Convention to meet at Union on Monday (salesday). There lias Ihtii more wheat sown than for a long time, and the farmers say they will sow a large area in oats in the spring, and plant more corn than usual. This, I think, is a long stride in the right direction. The schools have ail opened again, after the holiday vacation. There has lieen so much coming and going during the holidays, that I will not attempt to give any personals this time. I enjoyed reading the Souvenir tiuiuhcr of Tiik Timks very much; it was certainly very interesting.
