He stood . stupidly staring tit the ap

The Work to be Commenced t nn.
SXetboi Adopt by FbrsltanH. :
Tbi fctiyslcUnsi in the! ciij iheld a
meeting at D. pdnogbfie's? tofflce tS
devise a method fdr- carryingrout the
proposed vaccination authorized by the
board of aldermen. Various plans
were discussed, among others that of
laying the city off in a certain number
of districts and apportioning one physi
cian to each district. , The several
wards were taken as a guide, but it
was found that the great proportion of
the poor upon whom the physicians
were especially desired to operate, were
congregated in one or two wards and if
these were assigned to the physicians
bn those wards they would have ? ail
the work to do.. It was finally decided
that the physicians should i open their
bffiees certain houjte of the; day I to pa
tients' for the space "I of two? weeks, in
which time all who desire to be vac
cinated at the expense of the city are
required to apply.
Those who have agreed to this and
the hours at which they desire to be
called upon are as follows: Dr. Miller,
from 12 to 2 p.m.; Drsj Jones and Gra
ham, 12 to 2'and 4 to 5 p. m. $ Dr. Moore,
9 to 10 a. m. and 1 to 3 p.m.; Dr. Brat
ton, 12 to 2. at Dr. Miller's office ; Dr.
McCombs, 12 to 2; Dr. O'Donoghue, 12
to 1 and 3 to 5, and Dr. Gregory from
12 to 2.
The vaccination will begin Monday
The importance of this matter is once
morei desjred be brought to the at
tention, -of ?the citizens. ' Already
small-pox has appeared in Richmond.,
witlnwhich city we have direct com
munication by means of two passenger
trains daily, and freight trains besides
which are said to be more dangerous
as a perveyor of the disease.
It is feared that a prejudice may exist
among the more ignorant class of peo-
Ele against vaccination from an appre
ension that it may be attended with
some danger. This, however, should
be entirely allayed by the readiness ef
the physicians tq pledge their profes
sional reputation upon the result, and
the further fact that it is as notoriously
safe as it is universally applied as a
preventive of small-pox.
The mayor, will Have, a number of
posters printed to-day ianii distributed
among the people enlightening them
on the subject
Monthly Cotton Statement.
The cotton receipts for March were
2,780 bales. j This makes the total" of re
ceipts up to date of the present cotton
year, extending i from May.. 1880. to
March, 1881, 11 months inclusive 49,516
bales, lacking only 484 bales of the 50,
000 predicted earlier in the season and
leaving one month still to hear from.
For the same period last year the total
of receipts was 37,060 bales. Excess for
the present year 12,456. The total of
the receipts tor last year was 87,992
bales. The probability now is that it
will exceed 50,000 for this year. .
Whom It Would Effect and Wben.
Should the recent action of the coun
ty commissioners, to grant no licenses to
sell liquor, be construed to bear with
equal force upon dealers in the city, as
upon those outside of it and some
lawyers vigorously -maintain that it
will the effect of this measure will by
no means be immediate in the city, but
upon the already existing bar-rooms in
the county outside of the city, it is un
derstood, that the commissioners have
already refused to grant or renew li
cences to iijijmhar qf applicants. The
majorityjiOf the city liquor retailers, as
shown by trre" books of the city mar
shal, have already secured licenses ex
tending to December, 1S81, a few of
themkilo February, 1882, and only one,
so fa? as it is known, is in imminent
danger of being affected by the decision
of the commissioners. This is B. H.
Cawdor, who does business at the cor
ner oil Second and College streets,
whose4icense expires on the 6th day of
May.
Tbe Coming: I ttne Taking- Shape.
The discussion of prohibition and
anti-prohibition was given consider
able impetus yesterday in consequence
of the prohibition meeting at the opera
house night before last. Col. William
Johnston was prominently spoken of
as a sort of compromise candidate,
while Mr. F. A. McNinch was canvass
ed as a Straight-out whiskey man. It
was stou-tly maintained by those nore
particularly : interested in the event
that only one candidate , would be run
in opposition to prohibition and that
all the forces would be combined upon
him. Meantime the probable prohibi
tion candidate remains a mystery.
Public sentiment does not seem to
have crystalized around any particular
man. The prohibitionists say they
have so many good men to choose from
that they cannot immediately settle
upon any.
Building and Loan Association.

The meeting at the mayor's office last

secretary. The chair explained the ob
ject of the meeting and was followed
by Col. Jno. E. Brown, who, after stat
ing the object of building and loan as

effect of the nrecenC law in regard to
them, and made a motion that a com
mittee of five be appointed to submit a

a well known citizen, With whom he
has resided since coming here, and at
whose residence he breathed his last.
The deceased gentleman had made a

who will regret to hear this announce
ment He contracted a severe eough
about a week ago, which developed in
to something like pneumonia, which,
combined with his extreme age, pro
duced death after a short illness. The
funeral services will be held at the res

Col. A, Pope has also been interview
ed in Atlanta touching the Air-Line
and its policy. Being asked if he in
tended to maintain the interest which
he Company had manifested in the
matter of immigration, he said: "Yes,
continue the good work the Air-Line
has begun. We shall endeavor to make
the country through which we pass a
populous country. We have now in our
employ one of the most learned gentle
men in the South engaged in preparing
a book which will set forth to the world
the great advantages, of every nature,
of the country through which our roads
pass. This book, when completed, will
be scattered throughout the country.
and we hope by it to induce a big influx
oi people, uur nrst oDject, ot course,
will be to secure their location alone
our route, for thereby we will be bene
fitted. In addition to this I have been
appointed by the Governor of North
Carolina an honorary member of the
ooara of immigration for that State. I
assure you it has always been the policy
of our management to secure settle
ment along our road, and there is no
reason why we should not continue our
ertorts in this direction just now.
lie also assured the people of Atlanta
that that city would experience none of
the evil effects of discrimination.
Three Railroad Accidents The Pol
icy of Concealment.
Yesterday afternoon, as the freight
rain, in two sections of about fifteen
minute's interval, on the Carolina Cen
tral Railroad was near Pee Dee. the
first section, for some cause, stopped in
cut wnere mere is a curve in tne
road and was run into, a short time
ater, by the second section. One re
port prevailed at a late hour last night
that, the fireman on the engine of the
second section had both of his legs
broken. Another was to the effect that
both the engineer and fireman saved
themselves by jumping. The exact
amount and nature of the damage sus
tained could not be learned.
On the Air-Line road an accident of
character nearly parallel with the
one above, is reported to have occurred
near .Liberty, S. C. The second section of
a freight train ran into the first, and the
engineer and fireman saved themselves
oy jumping. In this case it is charged
that the engineer was asleep until it
was too late to stop his train.
The colliding engine which, was
entirely new, having made only
two trips over the road, was totally
wrecked, the cab part, in addition,
catching fire and burning up.
in tne accident, day berore yesterday,
near Trenton, on the Charlotte, Colum
bia & Augusta road, it is reported that
the conductor of the freight train
which was wrecked had his arm broken
at the wrist
In all of the above cases names and
other particulars are withheld in ac
cordance with the policy of the railf
road authorities to keep hid from the
publitirall occurrences of this kind on
their roads. For this reason the threat
of discharge is held over the heads of
employes, and it is liKe pulling a jaw
tootn to get anytmng out or them, it
is for them to consider whether the en-
velopinlgin mystery of these accidents
which cannot altogether be kept from
the public does not make them appear
bigger than they really are.
