have a ball team this year?"
If you want a new census of Louis,
burg speak to your commissioner
about it.
VV no said "ball?" lVe would like
to see I.ouisburg have a good team
this season.

It wilj be interesting to watch the
Harmon-Wilson lace for the Presidential
nomination in 1912.
With Simmons, Aycooke, Clarke
and Kitohin in the Senatoiial race
there is no need for drawing.
It now looks as if the Amerioan
Tobacoo Company has had it handded
out to them, but not on a "silver
waiter" this time.
If the people of Louisburg would
get to gether and oombine for the
upbuilding of the town you would
see "the tall oaks from little acrona
grow." .
Tub average citixen in case of contracting
small pox would not need
to be quarantined in order tp.be kqpt
in, but would prefer being^quarantined
in order to keep bis friends
away.
Wi can't help but feel- confident
that our present Board of County
Commissioners will continue the old
quarantine law. At least until the
"public can be educated to the advantages
of the newly suggested system.
The last census gives Louisburg
a population of 1776. According to
several estimates, including one from
the voters and one from the school
* census, we have not less than about 1
2650. VVhv not have this oorr*
racted ?
Would you like for your baby to
be vaccinated? If not you may have
to keep it home, as smallpox patients
will be allowed to walk the
streets from now on. unless the
county commissioners take action
in regard to continomg the old quarantine
law.
It now remains to be seen wheth
er or not the Government will stand
behind the tecent decisions of the
Supreme court, in the cases against
the Standard Oil Co., and the
American Tobacco Co. If it does
it will mean the honest interpretation
of the anti-trust law, otherwise
it will be time thrown away.
Tusks seems to be no doubt bat i
that an error of almost one thousand,
has been made in the population of
Louisburg as - reported by the last
oensus. -This is a matter, that to es
tablialrthe correct figures, ?oald be
benefioal to the town, and effects the
pride of every citizen here. Let
someone start a movement that will
bring about a new and correct census.
The Supreme Coart on Wednesday
of this week banded down a decision
in the esse of Trustees qf;
Tonngsville township vs. Charles A.
Webb db Co., from Bunoombe, in
which the court holds in effect that a
, township has the right to issue bonds
'for road improvament Dy an act of
thqjegislature without a vote of the
* people. The opinion practically
holds that good roads are necessarj
township improvements.
MO MORE QUARANTINE.
Below wo publish a circular that
iias been soot oat by tfie Stale
Hoard of- Health to be posted for
the benefit of the public. It will be
noticed trom H that the quarantine

Smallpox, the most oontagious
disease known to science, has reoently
appeared in your community.
All who have not been successfully
vaccinated within the last five years
are in danger of contracting the die
ease unless they are vaccinated at
onee. If you bave not been vaooinated,
you have good cause for alarm; if
you have, you need bare ne fear of
contracting smallpox.
Until lately the State required
smallpox to be quarantined. Tbe
State Board of Health shall now no
longer advocate or insist upon the
quarantine of smallpox. The Hoard
takee this position for three reasons:
First. Quarantine is an uncertain
protection, vaccination a certain
protection. Quarantine works positive
barm in many cases by'-giving
people a false senae of security
against the dieease, thereby tempting
them to forego tbe certain protection
wbioh vaocination would
give them. "
Second. Quarantine is a very
expensive protection. The cost of
the quarantine of smallpox to tbe
State in reoent years baa approximated
$104,000 annually, or enough
to more than maintain the State 1
University.
Third. Quarantine ia inequitable.
By it the taxes that all oootribule
are used to protect a class. The majority
of the people, having been
yaooinioated, secure no protection
from quarantine, as they are already ^
protected.
Vaccination ia a duty?a duty,
first, to one's self, and, second, to
one's oommumty. You shonld pre
serve your own health in order to
accomplish the most good possible
in the world, and you should take
precautions to pi event your carrying
diseases to others.
We believe the above stated principles
represent the consensus of
opinion of North Carolina people,
and we believe the management ol
smallpox, based upon these principles,
will represent the will of a
majority of our people. ,
We are giving this warning because
the old way of attempting to
handle smallpox by quarantine has
caused many people to rely upon
the State to protect them, and have 1
net been vaccinated. Jls quarantine
will oo longer be enforced through- |
out the State, thoee who have neg- |
lected to be vaocinated during the 1
laat five rears are hereby notified of |
the danger of their negligence in
this matter exposes them to, and are i
erged to be vaccinated at the earli- i
est opportunity, t
Remember that smallpox is the 1
penalty for your own negligence, ]
and that you will little deserve the
sympathy of the public if you oon- j
treat the disgraceful disease. Tour
case is m your own hands.
" ;W-S. RAKXXN,
Secretary North Carolina State
Board of Health.
To our way of thinking the arguments
for the repeal of this law
aria very unreasonable. It matters
not if quarantine is an uncertain protection,
the majority of our people,
even who believe in vaccination,
feel a great deal safer whan the
quarantine law ie observed.
The fact that it is not enforoed or
observed is not sufficient reason to
repeal the law, but en the contrary
to make it more rigid. Even though
vaccination is a positive preventive
there are few citizens who are
willing to beve their babies and
younger children vaooineted, end
tbey are certainly entitled to asms
protection. We have in mind ?
family who according to their .statements
we would under ao^dreumstances
have anything^to do with
forcing vadcinatiopdpon them as tbey
are booesl in^their beli.it and in oar
opinion thdy sre entitled to protee*
/Wt learn that although it is u
Stole taw the County Commission
en can recognise it or not as they .
please. That is the law provide*
for such oountiee aa wishes to do so
[to oontinue under the old law. We
verilv feel that the Commissioners of
Franklin county will be acting
according to the wishes of the
largest ipajority and of the beet
people of this county if they will
keep the old quarantine law, and t(
the past baa been too expensive let
them buiM them a house near Lou
ieburg to be known as a heepital
and confine every suspect therein.
Do away with ao many guards by
the use of a wall. By this meana
there will be a guarantee of the observance
of the quarantine lsw and
at a muoh smaller cost than the old
style ani^j then let everybody who
wishes t6 be vaccinated be vaocinated,
and those who do not like
the process let it alone, and at the
same time give the additional protection
to all.
