Early Returns Site Must be Quarantined by the Au thorities of Polk County She Is Nov In Wasldngton City Letters From Dr. McLean and Dr. Thomas. Acting Attorney-General Hayden Clement yesterday rendered his opin ion to the State Board of Health con cerning the disposition of the leper, John R. Early, a citizen of North Carolina,-now quarantined in the Dis trict of Columbia, lie holds that the stAte is not reaulred either to re ceive the leper or-to pay the cost of nis quarantine. The full text of the letter is as fol lows:. . " ' "Sept. 3, 190S. "Dr. Geo. G. Thomas. President SUte Board of Health. Wilmington. N. C. Dear Sir: Replying to your letter with reference to the Early matter, I beg to state that from the corres pondence placed In my hands I gather the facts to be about as follows: John B. Early, a native and citizen of North Carolina, was a soldier in the" Spanish-American war. and was In Cuba in 1898 and 189. going to the Philippines In and return ing to this country In 1903. For the past two years he has been living with his wife and child in Lynn, N. C. That on August 14. 1908. he went to Washington, D. C, for the purpose of securing a pension and that while there, to-wit, on August 21,- 1968, he was discovered to be suffering with leprosy. Thereupon a mlscroplcal examination was made and the lepra baccili was found. He was then quarantined by the United States government In the District of Colum bia and the government authorities have now written your board asking what disposition they should make of him and stating that they were de sirous of returning him to North Carolina. After a careful examination I beg to submit the following: "1st. That the State of North Car olina is not required to support Its 3ick and Infirm citizens who are without the bounds of the State, nor is it the duty of the State to send for and receive Is citizens in this State in order to support and care for them. The only exception to thU rule is that class of citizens enumer ated in Article 11. Section 10 of th Constitution of North Carolina, which provides: .The General Assembly may provide that the (Indigent) denf mute, blind and insane of tha State hall be cared for at the charge of the State.' In compliance with this provision the General Assembly lias jo provided, but It has limited Its provision In compliance with the Con stitution, Neither the Constitution nor the Statutes of this State require that the State provide and care for its citizens without the boundaries of the State, who are suffering with sme 'pestilential or contagloty disease. Nor is thr-in the Constitution f ths United States or the Statutes passed In compliance therewith any provis ion which requires that a citizen of another State suffering with a con tagious or pestilential disease shall be transported to the State of his citizenship and requiring that State to support him or to provide for his support. 1 consider that the United States government owes the , same duty to this leper as the State of North Carolina would owe to a citi zen of another State found within her borders that Is, the duty to quarantine, support and care tor him in compliance with the Act of March 27, 1890, chapter SI. 26 Stat. L. 31. "2nd. Even were It the duty of the State to receive this man it would be almost impossible to have him transported, inasmuch as no common carrier would knowingly carry him. it is equally true that It would be quite Impossible for this man to make the Journey from the District of- Columbia to his home in Polk county through the country, because this would mean communication with people over the route, and if it was known, and it would certainly be known, that he was a leper, the be nevolence of the people would be entirely destroyed by their fears. "3rd. Mr. Early states that he con tracted leprosy while In the Philip pines and while in the service of the United States government. If this is so. and we have no reason to doubt it.. he was a leper when he was dis charged from service and the fact the disease had not manifested Itself is immaterial. Therefore, from a moral standpoint, it Is the duty of the United States government to care for him. "Now, with reference to the wife and child of Mr. Early. I beg to state, that I notice she Is now in Washing ton, D. C, and that. In my opinion, you should write her and acquaint .her of the fact that If she returns to tnis state it win imj necessary tor the authorities of Polk county to quaran tine her. .This, I think, should be ,' '-I Combs Brushes' Brushes Combs The asMtrUitciiJ NEVER was excelled. l'or ladle gentle men, c-ldldren and all.

Dr.4 Thomas. jrctoUe. t. bejieving that the State should not take the leper back, and feeling; that the question was one of national Importance, com municated with Mr. Clement and en closed to him a letter from Dr. Harry C. McLean, acting health otneer of the District of Columbia. ' Dr. Mc Lean's letter was as follows: "I have to Inform you that one John R. Early, a white - man, 32 years of age. who states that his home Is at Lynn. N. C, arrived in the Dis trict ot -Columbia on Friday, the 14th Instant Augrustl and was discovered on Friday, the 21st Instant, to be suf fering with leprosy. .A microscopical examination has been made and the lepra bacclll has been found therein, thus confirming the original diag nosis. ..... "It appears from' the patient, that the diseaee first made Its appearance about one year ago. It Is learned from Mr; Early that he was a soldier In the Spanish-American War,- and was In Cuba In 1898 and 1899. going to the Philippine in 1901 and re turning to this country In -1903. In conversation with him it has been ascertained that his wife and child are now living at Lynn, X. C, and he expresses himself as being extrmely anxious to return to his home: for obvious reasons we are desirous that' his request be complied with at the earliest possible date, and to this end I am now communicating with you. This department is. now considering the cuestion of the patient's return to his-home which Is in your-jurisdiction, but before taking definite action we .desire to hear from you fully on the subject. Please , advise me at once." - -v ' , Dr. Thomas letter. Dr. Thomas, In his letter to Mr. Clement, said in part: "I feel inable to handle the matter .Involved In the tiuestion of the disposition of John K. Early,, jhis: wife, and child. John K. Karly. it seem to me. is necessarily from thin time on a ward of the. Dis trict of Columbia. I do not see how it is possible for him to be trans ported back to North Carolina, as no railroad, or railroads, would know ingly take him upon their trains, and the Question also arises whether or not we could land him now at Tryon, which would be the point at which he would leave the train, without serious disturbance. It la equally true that it would be Quite impossible for this man to make the Journey from the District of Columbia to his home in Polk county through the country, because this . would mean communication with people over that route, and if It was known, and It would be known, that he was a leper you can realize that the benevolence the people would be entirely de stroyed by their fear. "There-4s sjtllt -the wife and child to be considered. They are, as you are aware, now at Lynn, a small set tlement, one mile.. and a half 'from Tryon in Polk county. , At this time Tryon Is enjoying the best part of Its summer colony, and the publication of the fact that there has been a leper a mile and a half from - them, more or less mingling with the peo ple, and that his wife and child., who (have been his constant companions, the wife for two years and the child for six months, are - within easy touch of them, will creat, I fear, a panic in Tryon; certainly it would stir, up the community If an "attempt was made to return Mr. Karly through Tryon to Lynn, and the question also arises, what disposition shall be made of Mrs. Early and her child. It must be evident to you that fearing the octaglon no one will employ this woman to do anything that brings them In contact with her, or anything that she touches or handles. I do not mean by this to, say - that I be lieve that Mrs. Early has leprosy, but a fear of a possible condition of this sort would make everybody fearful of any contact with her. Bo that, I wish to ask you if I cannot advise the health officers of Polk county that for an indefinite time Mrs.' Early will be necessarily a dependent upon Folk qpunty and should be Isolated for. ob aervaUon.'
