Because the late State Democratic convention Ud not adopt Russellism, Butlerism and fusionism and make the Progressive Farmer its official organ and political mouth piece, that paper stated that the said convention was made np entirely of lawyers and controlled by railroads and corporations. And altho it was repeatedly stamped as an untruth, still many of the "admirers of the writings of the LATE Secretary of the Board of Agriculture the Rev. Dr Ramsay "believeed the falsehood and made po litical thunder out of it. It was even used in several of the 'most numerous" Pop conventions held here. We recall to our mind's eye now a gentleman learned in the art of statecraft and adored to the, "an' of "popicraft" who frequently gained applause by the use of. this ac cuzationC We also recall another, equally gifted. But to the point Mark what we say. if the Trogessive Far mer be then in existence, watch if it dont, in the next campaign, make the very same accusation against the Legislature that adjourned last Wednesday. See if the statement then m ade will cooberate with the following one we clip from the Raleigh Christian Advocate. Two to one the Progressive Farmer will endeavor to make this Methodist crean out a 1 AVOCATION HOUSE.

He said that 'a - quarantine was not effective to prevent the spread of the f disease the only ef- fective way was .to be vaccinated. JThe spread ,. of the disease is more rapid .in cold weather . than . in hot weather. . ,v .' It is very necessary that the school children V be vaccinated at once. .The law" makes this 7 compulsory. This ofrcourse comes uuder the . supervision of the city board of health. As stated in yesterday's "issue the city board of health has not decided to enforce compulsory vaccination. The members of the board prefer , that people do so without compulsion. If the ' people are loth to do so, however, it is very prob- "able that compulsory vaccination will be enfor ,'ced. , , .; , v The following is the opinion of Anorney-Gen-1 , eraLWalser: .' '"-' . "Dr. Richard H. : Lewis, Secretary of the N. C. Board of Health, Raleigh N. C J - "Sin-; In reply ta your communication of the 10th instant, requesting a construction of section 23, chapter 214, acts 1893, 1 will say: The legislature may confer upon boards of health of cities and towns the power to enact -rules and', ordinances for the promotion of the public health. 4 Am. and Eng. Ency. of . Law, (2d Ed.) 599: ; "Under this section of the law it is competent to require scholars to be vaccinated, and a fail ure to comply with this requirement will justify exclusion from school. 21 Am. and Eng. Ency.-' of Law, (1st Ed.) 775. Abeel vs. Clerk, 84 CaU 1 226. Maine Rev. Stat, Ch. 11 Par. 87. Mass. . Public Stats., Ch. 47, Par. 9. "I think a requirement that the scholars shall present themselves on a certain day for the pur- pose of vaccination would be upheld as reasona- ble, 21 -Am. and Eng. Ency. of Law, (1st Ed,) 774- ", . "A local board, it would seem, is authorized to require vaccination. .However, it should co . operate with the city, town and county authori ' . ..ties..- I doubt the power of the School Commit ' tee itself to make such a regulation. The School Committee may adopt reasonable rules. A re gulation of this nature might or might nqt be held to be reasonable. ' fc.It seems to be clear that the authorities are authorized to vaccinate the inmates of jails and " county homes and" may use an reasonable means .... to enforce this " authority. Nor " would -s they be guilty of an assault in attempting to er " force such regulationi. Such rules and regula ; tions will be upheld so long as they are reason able and do not interfere with the liberty, prop erty or business of the - citizen more than a re quisite to secure the lawful and proper object in view. 4 Am. and Eng. of Law, (2.

The . travel from Norfolk and Richmond to all points in this State is very great and our people are exposed to the spread of this disease unless the proper , precaution is taken. In view of the fact that many - people are loth to be vaccinated and the, public welfare may -make it necessary that every one should be vac- cinated, Dr.- R. H. Lewis, Secretary of the State --. , Board of Health has written to the Attorney l : i General asking his opinion as to whether t com-; pulsory ,yacdaation can be enforced. Yesterday . t - , afternoon Attorney General Walser rendered his i1 . opinion in a 'letter to Dr. Lef is; deciding tha - compulsory vaccination could be enforced. ,- - I a aa. . t .
