PENDER'S SMALLPOX CASE.
Prompt Action Retards a Possible Coots
glon Drs. McMillan and Lacas Re
tamed to the City Yesterday.
Dr..W. D. McMillan, superintend
ent of health of New Hanover, and Dr,
George F. Lucas, Pender county's
wide-awake superintendent, returned
yesterday from 81oop Point on the Pen
der coast, .where they went Thursday
to look into a reported case of small
pox near there. ,
Dr. McMillan tells the Stab that he
and Dr. Lucas .found a well defined
case of the disease near Edgecombe, on
the W. & N. railroad. James Clayton,
a young colored man, is the patient.
He was quarantined in Norfolk for the
disease and after three attempts, it is
said, he made his escape from the
guards and came to his home near
Edgecombe. Dr. McMillan, in his
characteristic way of "getting on" to
everything concerning health matters,
heard of the presence of the disease at
Edgecombe and reported the matter to
Dr. Lucas, who came to Wilmington
to secure Dr. McMillan's services in
diag osing the case. The doctors saw
the casa ten days after eruption, and
the disease is very pronounced, so Dr.
McMillan says.
Dr. Lucas upon the diagnosis
promptly took the matter in hand and
quarantined Clayton's family of
twelve persons and ten other "con
tacts," placing them all under guard.
He and Dr. McMillan vacinatedoin
all about 133 residents of the neigh
borhood and it is believed that the dis
ease is now under control of Dr. Lucas,
whom Dr. McMillan highly com
mends for his prompt, active and ef
fectual services in the matter.
Dr. McMillan says that Dr. Lucas
notified Dr. E. L. Cox, superintendent
of health of Onslow county, of sever
al exposures which escaped over into
his territory. All of these were over
hauled, vaccinated and quarantined.
Dr. Cox speaks in very complimenta
ry terms of the kindness to hisa in the
matter by Drs. McMillan and Lucas.

derer in the jail here from Sampson

for Kinsauls upon his (Divine's) re
ease at the expiration of his term for
court costs. The negro was subse
quently released but failed to return
with the articles wanted by Kinsauls.

so grave, Justice Bornemann decided
not to take him from the jail.as a safe
guard against possible escape, and the
investieation was held in the office of
the building. Divine was charged
