Dr.
Lewis Savs the Disease
Kxisls at
Three Xew Places.
In the course of an interview
Dr. Iticharil II. Lewis, secretary of the
Slate board of health the latter said, re
garding small pox in N'orth Carolina:
"The disease is at three new points.
Mortal n ton, Lenoir and Dysarlsville. The
lirst case in Ihe State appeared in Wil
mington m January, 1MIS, and up to
May 1, 1800, there were (!1l! cases iu
the State, and 17 deaths. Tho largest
number of cases was not in ltaleigh, but
in the- country in the northeastern part
of the State. The disease came into the
state l mm ..two aireeiions troni isoutu
Cnrolinn and from tidewater Yiririnia. I

tiates refuses to elect n county .superin
tendent ot health. The people refuse
to be disinfected. I look with confidence
for a bad epidemic thei-p next winter.
The conditions arc very dangerous for
it. The people are laying up the dead
ly seed for the winter. Unusually mild
as the lypc of small pox has been, it has
killed 5 tfer cent, of tho whites attack
ed, and 1 per cent, of the -negroes.
There nre people so foolish as to declare
it is not small pox, that It is "red
measles," "elephant itch," "Cuban itch"
and "Georgia bumps." The latter is the
last name given by the ignorant and the
careless." f
There ought to be some way to allow
Ihe State authorities to go directly Into
mi. infected county, so grossly careless
as Gates in this instance, and Institute
a complete system of compulsory vacci
nation. It the disease gets a footing
it Is likely to get them into plenty of
trouble and mortality, too, when the
next eold weather comes. -' .
