THE SMALLFOX CASE.
On last Monday Dr. H. T.
Chapio, the county superintend
ent of health, paid a final visit to
the home of Ruffin Headen, the
negro afflicted with a, mild case of
smallpox near Siler City.
The negro and his family of
nine, all of whom were taken sick
with the disease, were found to
have so far recovered from their
attack, as to- be able to go about
their usual employment. The
doctor tells us that lie had all the
articles of clothing of the -family
thoroughly overhauled and dis
miecteu ana that, as all daug-er of
the disease spreading had passed,
the quarantine, which for some
time past had been rigidly en
forced against the inmates of the
house, was ordered to be removed,

mile below Hot Springs at the
Lime Kiln, showed unusual pres-

Sitting in the doorway of his
home he heard the sound of fall
ing rocks and upon going out
found a rock on the railroad track
weighing several tons. It had
slipped off the side of the moun
tain. The evening west bound
passenger train was due, so Uncle
ijreorge sent his son running up
towards the depot to stop it while
he himself ran about a mile in the
opposite direction to flag auy train
which might be coming up from
Paint Rock. The slide occurred
at a very dangerous part of the
road and it would have been dif
ficult for an engineer to have seen
the obstacle in time to stop his
train.

wore destroyed by the flames. In
getting out some mules, Mr.
Pope's son, Charles, was painful

The fire was discovered about 9
o'clock, and there is little doubt
but what it was of incendiary
origin. About one year ago an
other barn was burned in the same
neighborhood by an incendiary.
Both of these look very much like
the work' of the same party; If
the guilty wretch is caught, he
