r-j" All Nev Pretty Too. Call and F-nminr DAVI5 ROSE. SMALL POX. Dr. W.

Cheatham Submits Some Timely and Thoughtful Suggestions on the Subject of Vaccination, Hexdersox. N. C. Jan. 24th.

1898. Editor Gold Leaf: As the people ol this community. are in a state of anxiety and fear that email pox may be at some time in the near future introduced in our midst, I deem it not oat of place to say something about the importance of vaccination and re-vaccination as a means of preventative and protection against this loathsome and fearfully fatal disease. I am well aware that the people of this community are in no con dition for the introduction of small pox in their midst, I think I can wifely pay that nine oat of every ten persons in this county ore unprotected, having never been successfully vaccinated; and I have no doubt that the same condition of bin irs prevails throughout the State. It is currently reported that small pox is prevailing to an alarming extent in some of the cities and towns in adjoin ing State.

Therefore we should not be backward in taking proper precautions against its introduction in our community. We have daily railroad communication with communities that areinfected and are liable to have some oue who has been exposed to the infection and has the ned of the disease in hie or her sys tem stop with us and, have small pox communicate it to others and perhaps be the means of starting a fearful epidemic. I will give an instance that perhaps will illustrate the danger of being ex posed, or unprotected by vaccination. A most remarkable instauce occurred in Montreal in 1885. had been prevailing in that city between 1870 and 1875, when it- died out, owing perhaps to the exhaustion of suitable material in part, and the introduction of vaccination.

The health report shows that the city was free from disease up to 1885. During the interveninijyears vaccination had Jbeen neglected. Many of the French Canadian were violently opposed to it, resulting in anti-vaccine riot, so that a large unprotected population grew up in the city, and the soil was well prepared and ready for the seed. It was not long, however, before the seed were sown and a frightful smalt pox crop was gathered. In the month of February a Pullman car conductor who had contracted the disease in another city, was admitted to the city hospital.

It was not long before the authorities of the hospital dismissed all patients presenting no symptoms of contagion, who could go home. result was a fearful outbreak of the disease! It spread like "fire in wild grass" and within less than ten months between three and four thousand persons died in flontreal.of small pox. What we have said of Montreal could be said of other epidemics. Small pox is no respecter of race or nationality. It is more fatal in the young than the adult.

Males and females are equally affected. Among aboriginal races it is fearfully When the disease was first introduced into America the Mexicans are said to have died by thousands, and the Indians have frequently been decimated this plague. The negro is especially susceptible and the rate of mortality much greater than among yte whites. A word as to vaccination: It is not claimed that it is an invariable and per manent prevention, but in an immense majority of cases, successful I inoculation renders the person for many years un susceptible. Communities in which vaccination and re vaccination have been systematically carried out are those in which small pox has its fewest victims.

On the other hand communities in which vaccination is neglected are those in which epidemics are most prevalent and the mortality much greater. 1 presume that. the thoughtful and in telligent portion of our population will fully appreciate the situatipn and have themselves and families vaccinated, but it is also of paramount importance that the poor and ignorant should be looked after in order that the protection be made as complete as ery truly, VV! T. CHEATHAM, M. D.

This is True. A newspaper has 5,000 readers for each 1,000 subscribers. A merchant who puts out 1,000 handbills gets; pos sibly 300 or 500 people to read them mat is, ine ooy wno is irusieu iouib-tribute them docsliot put them uuder the side walk The handbills cost as much as an advertisement in the newspaper. AH the women and girls and half the men and boys read the advertisement. Result: The merchant who uses the newspaper has 3, 500 more readers to each 1,000 of the handbilh readers.

There is no estimating the amount of business that advertising brings a meachant, but that each dollar invested brings $20 to $100 worth of business there 'can be no doubt. Greensboro Argus.

Editor Gold Leaf: Will please allow ine space to let the peopled North Carolina know what the youn county of Vance is doing towards carrying out the command of Jesus to preach the gos-nel every creature i Jin January, "1897, a Superintendent, of Alms Housework was appointed by. the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, this being one of the forty departments of this organization. At her request the ministers of our town agreed to conduct religious services ouce a month. The first service was held iu the after noon of the fourth Sunday in Febuary in the home of the.

Superintendent of the Alms House, by Rev. T. M. Johnson. The attendance increased, until, on the fourth Sunday in August, it wlas decided that it was necessary to have a chapel built.

The county commisiouers were consulted and they consented to appropriate su 83 cent money to erect one. The money to furnish the building was raised by the miuistcrs and the members of the Woman's' Christiau Temperance Union. The Loyal Temperance legion, a branch of the Union, raised over twenty three dollars for this' purpose. The first services in the chapel were held the fourth Sunday iin December, and great was the deJight of our poor to hearthe word or God in a temple built for them. Our ministers receive no eurthly compensation for their services, but their zeal is so great that, though they becalf ed to other fields of labor, their successors take up the work where they leave off, and their continued interest in the work still inspires us.

The Superintendent of the Alms House says that the have been more eauily managed during the past hat they are less quarrelsome, and are more contented. The visitors notice the change in them, and snj' that the place is more like a home than' it was before this work was begun. I If the people of the State could ouly realize the comfort it gives these poor uufortunates to hear the word of God and the change it has wrought in their daily lives, it would not be long before the poor of every counjy would have the gospel preached to thetnv.
