FRIDAY, JAN. 12. 1900.
CtlATtlAil SflALLPOX AOAIN.
Our good friends down in Cha'ham,
the Pitta bo ro Record and the Siler
City. Messenger, are unduly frustrated
over the Telegram's reply to the Rec
ord last week, when that jjaper charged
that all the smallpox in Chatham was
carried there from Greensbcro and
that it was "strange that the city au
thorities of Greensboro would continue
to allow negroes sick with smallpox to
lea re that city and spread the disease
over the country." Our reply wa
based on facts as they have beeu re
corded in this city, what the authori
ties say and what every well informed
man in this city knows to be true, and
not what some negro says. We did
not reply to the Record in order to ad
Tertite -the misfortunes of Chatham;
far from it. We love the old county,
which contains some of the best people
on earth, and are sorry that anything
in the shape of itch, measles, smallpox
or any other pestilence has ever in
vaded her borders; but the imputation
on the part of the Record that the
presence of smallpox in that county
was due to carelessness or wilfull
negligence on the part of the authori
ties of Greensboro was putting it
rather too strong, and we again em
phatically state that the Record is in
error.
One thing we must admit, however,
and that is, whether or not the Chat
ham health authorities are sufficiently
alert in dealing with the smallpox
cases they are so unfortunate as to
have, they are moving in solid phal
anx to prove the Telegram in error in
stating that the cases did uot go there
from Greensboro. Both the Chatham
papers dwell at considerable length on
a correspondence in October betwee
Dr. Chapln, of Chatham, Dr. Best, of
Greensboro, and Dr. Lewis, of the
state board of health, in regard to a
negro named Headen, who, it is al
leged, left Greensboro early in Octo
ber, s'ck with some kind of skin erup
tion; that he had been working in
a factory here and that he boarded
with the family of one Peter Hanks,
four members of which were sick with
the same complaint. This story end
fn both papers with the statement that
"Dr. Lewis wrote Dr. Chapin that he
' had notified Dr. Best, the county su
perintendent of health at Greensboro,
and that the latter had written him
that he had examined the sick mem
bers of the family of Peter Hanks, and
that they were not sick with smallpox,
but with a skin disease called impetigo
contagioso."
Yet, the Chatham papers say that
mOre smallpox has spread from the
case of Headen than any other. Do
they mean to say that the physician
here is mistaken and that the Chatham
physician -is right in the diagnosis?
An old doctor, eminent in the profes
sion, and who has treated undisputed
smallpox in the army and elsewhere,
states emphatically that the suspected
cases here last spring and one or two
reported in the city limits since the
outbreak at Terra Cotta Works, were
not smallpox. There has not been a
single death here, and not a serious
case; but it is reported that there have
been several deaths in Chatham. We
are sorry if this be true. But in view
of results, where- has the greatest
effort, not to say skill, been displayed?
At the outset we did not intend to
say but a few words, but the charge
that Greensboro authorities are care
less in this matter is a grave one,
tnough positively untrue. As we
stated before, the authorities here have
dealt with suspicious cases as though

they were smal'pox, in spite of the
differing opinions of the doctors. The
county commissioners have used all
possible diligence, but they have not
yet quarantined against Chatham,
though the disease has proved fatal
there in several cases. There has been
no failure in this county to look after
every case reported, and as we stated
before, a strict quarantine of the in
fected district at Terra Cotta has been
maintained.
Not a single suspicious case has left
Greensboro or this county with the
knowledge or consent of the authori
ties." By "the wav, may we ask what
Chatham has done more than Guil
ford to prevent persons leaving there
and carrying the disease to other
places. It would not be "strange" if
some get away if they want to. It
was not "strange" that Fentress broke
the lines of quarantine at Newport
News last spring and got away.
The Telegram, on the occasion of
its first reference to this matter, mad
only such statement as was abundantly
warranted by the facts, and Uuch facts
as we were personally familiar with.
There has been no attempt at smug
gling or suppressing the-truth, as the
Messenger alleges by inuendo. and we
shall not further notice that.
We suggest to our county commis
sioners, not in a spirit of reta.iation,
but as a matter of protection, that they
quarantine against Chatham county,
in view of the fact that the disease has
assumed a fatal aspect there, and a
number of Chatham negroes are fre
quently, seeking (and finding) employ
ment in Greensboro. There are many
r asons why we would regret to have
to reverse the order and lay the
charges at the door of Chatham which
her newspapers are now so energetic
infixing upon the "authorities" of
Greensboro.
We have a strong impression that
the state has lost a good deal in the
resignation of Col. W. H. Osborn from
the board of directors of the peniten
tiary. He was giving the penitentiary
problem much and valuable thought;
and the board will miss his counsel.

The Observer is right. Col. Os
borne has done much toward bringing
about the conditions on which the re
cent excellent report of the peniten
tiary was made.
CAPT. GLENN ANNOYED
Didn't Expect His Announcement to
be Published.
Winston, Jan. 11 Capt. R B.
Glenn is greatly annoyed over the an
nouncement in the papers that he is a
a candidate for the United States sen
ate. A representative of the Atlanta
Journal did talk with him while in
Washington, but Capt. Glenn did not
know his statement would be pub
lished Capt Glenn says he considers it too
early for him or anyone else to declare
himself a candidate for the senate,
but ihit every good democrat should
devote his time and attention to the
ratification of the constitutional
amendment, as he considers this of a
great deal more importance than the
question of a succes.or to Senator
Priujaa-d.
There is one error in the Ailantsi
Journal's interview with Capt Glenn
which be wishc s corrected. He is made
to say, "We are tired of being ruled
by the ignorant vote." What he said
was, "We are tired of being cursed by
the ignorant, vicious negro vote "

'THE LOST CAUSfi.
Perpetuated la Painting Wanted
for Confederate museum.
The following circular, received a
few days ago by the president of the
Guilford Chapter of the Daughters of
the Confederacy, cannot but appeal to
every southern heart.
These pictures were on exhibition at
the Confederate Museum the -olu
white bouse of the Confederacy dur
ing the national convention of the U.
D. C's in Richmond in November last;
a.nd only one general criticism was
heard concerning them, from the hun
dreds who viewed them that they are
grand in conception and perfect in ex
ecution. Every stroke of the brush
shows the young soul fired with patri
otism. Ia exchange for a studio in Rome,
where his genius was fast gaining him
name and fame. Conrad Wise Chap
man chose a southern battk field in
his native land, and painted these
lovely pictures with shot and shell fall
ing thick and fast around him.
The Guilford Chapter of the U. D
' 's wish to help toward securing these
pictures for the " useum but cannot do
it alone -hence asit the aid of Confed
erate Veterans and all lovers of the
Lost Cause" to aid them. The edi
tors of the Record and the Telegram
will gladly receive donations for this
noble work and turn atuie over to the
U D C's.
Richmond, Va , July 15, 1899-There
has been on exhioltlon in ihs city a
series of thirty-one (31) oil paintings,
made at Charleston, South Carolina,
between the dates of September loth,
18ti3, and March 16th, 1864, by Mr.
Conrad Wise Chapman, who left his
studio, in Rjme, to take rart with us
in our struggle. The paintings are of
extraordinary interest, not only as
works of art, but because they repre
sent vividly ihe actual dally life and
appearance of the men, batteries and
boats, who successfully defended
Charleston against every attack made
on it from the waterfront.
These pictures would have great
value for any museum as works of
art, but for the south for this muse
urn, which holds the memories and
relics of the entire confederacy, tney
are priceless. Tbey were executed on
the spot, often under heavy fire; and
were painted under the strong impetus
of personal enthusiasm, by the joung
artist who was detailed for the specific
purpose. They exist today without
parallel or copies, and, above a 1,
they prove the fact ( too often over
looked ) that the conf deracy achieved
remarkable results in the field of mili
tary service and invention.
To describe them as they deserve
will be impossible at this time: only a
lew striking points can be mentioned
in this briet letter.
Picture No. 14 represents the sub
marine to pedo-boat 'H. L. Hunley."
mis was the first submarine boat ever
constructed. She sank the'tKeokult,"
and was herself lost, with all her crew.
vVe have, therefore, the only authen
tic picture of a boat whose creation
showed the power of the southern mind
to indent, and w nose end p oved once
more the courage of the Confederate
neari to dare any peril for the cause
for which we fought.
In No. 4 we have the only picture of
"The David," the first torpedo-boat
ever used in naval warfare, and thus
made forever famous.
No 17 shows a night bombardment
by calcium search-lights since Dec me
one of the most powerful aids in wag
ing war.
Thus it will be seen that in each of
ne thirty -one (31) pictures is re pre
sented some notabe event of historic
Interest to us and all future genera
tions which we cannot afford to let
pass away from us. We look to you
to help us in securing them; we aonot
do it alone. Can you not raise for
this purpose one hundred dollars
($.00) in your honored state? If each
state will raise (9100) toward this fund
we will soon have the privilege of pla
cing them in a permanent form in the
Confederate Memorial Museum.
It is necessary to act in concert and
with expenditure in this matter. The
failure on the part of one means fail
ure for all.
Surely there are twenty men in your
loyal state who will each give $5 tow
ards this purchase. I. trust that your
state may take the lead in this import
ant work. In all Confederate work
we have never yet appealed In vain to
you nor will we now.
Please publish this letter in your
daily papers, and also take such steps
as may seem best to you for the ac
complishment of this end.
I am yours cordially in the work,

President Confederate Memorial Lit
v erary Society.
