Wsz Qua'raiiliur Rules Against Salis
wr The Report As to Tlieir Case
.China Grove had a smallpox
scare Thursday when it was re
ported that there -was a case
within a few miles of that place.
The negro, though, did not have
the smallpox but the 'excitement
very probably helped to bring
about the step made on Thurs
day night by their mayor and
board of commissioners.
They passed an ordinance that
all personal intercourse between
any and all persons of Salisbury
coming from Salisbury to China
Grove be forbidden and all per
sons of Salisbury are quaran
tined against and forbidden to
come into or enter the corporate
limits of China Grove unless
they show a certificate .of
thorough vaccination v
