WHAT TO DO TO KEEP FREE OF SMALLPOX. Smallpox has recently appeared in this county. There has been a great deal of it Just across the line in Vir ginia.

If vou don't want smallpox, get vaccinated. If you are unwilling to be vaccinated you must bearthe expense and other burdens of smallpox when it does come, vaccination is aosoiute pro tection. It-is entirely safe. It is a public duty.-' Every, child who attends (school should be vaccinated.

The Greensboro News Bays: Dep uty Marshal Luther Blaylock. who is direcUng the searchof government officials for the mountain assailants of Deputy Hardrader and Sheriff Da vis yesterday reported to the Mar shal's office here that two arrests had been made but that the real assailants had taken refuge Jn the ' caves which have made the rugged mountain section along the Virginia Carolina border famous. Mr. Blay lock also reported that the condition of Deputy Harkrader was greatly Im proved and that he had been moved during the day to Dobson. Since the assault Tuesday night Mr. Harkrader had been cared, for in a mountain cabin near the scene of the attack and to which he and' Sheriff Davis crawled while handcuffad together and bleeding and almost senseless from the terrible treatment of the moonshiners. In a later communication Deputy Blaylock etated that the two men un der arrest were heki principally for what they knew rather than for ac tual participation in the attack upon the offficers and Bubsoquent release of Turner Todd, who was held pri soner. It is understood here that from five to seven men were engag ed in the assault upon the officers The government and' Surry county officers have been reinforced la their search for the desperadoes by a com pany of State militia ordered out by Governor Kifcchln.and by hundreds of Mt. Airy and Dobson citizens and poo pie of the surrounding country who sympathize with the effort to stamp out lawlessness. Deputy Sheriff Jno. Weatherly, of this county, returned yesterday from Mt.Airy and he declar ed that every man in the oountry seemed to be on the hunt. The trail of the Tadd clan and Its allies leads over the same wild coun try which was eo dilligently followed a few months, ago by posses who sought Sidna Allen and his clan a portion of whom are nowunder1 sen- ' tence of death in Virginia for shoot ing up the Ilillsvllle court. This country is rugged and covered with a dense and in. places impenetrable growth. The native knowledge of the outlaws, too, stands them in good stead in suoh country. Scores of caves offer refuge and it is easy for a man to lay in the heavy laurel growth without discovery though his searchers may be within a few feet. Sidna Allen declared that everal times while laying under the heavy laurel growth he could have reached out and touched hie pursuers. Up to last night the covert nient had authorized no rewards thou&h It was stated that the necessary steps were beliiig taken, i One . handicap, however, Is the lack of positive knowledge as to the Identity of the assailants other than that they were members of the Todd clan. It is remembered, however, that when rewards were offered for th assail ants of a company of deputies - In Wilkes county recently the search was soon ended, most of the men upon whose heads prices were put coining ki and voluntarily surrender ing. In some oases the government ater charged that the .... men- for whoso arrests, rewards were made purposely surrendered to their frriends and that the reward money was later usecin securing counsel for their defense, The assailants of Deputy Harkrader and Sheriff Davis, if taken, will be tried before Judge James E. Boyd in the United States court here. INTERESTING MEETING OF THE MISSION CLASS. . .
