—For some days a great deal of un-necessary
talk has been Indulged in ia
regard to a supposed case of smallpox
in Greensbore, and many poople have
become unduly excited over the scare.
The facts are these: On Sunday, March
5th, a man by the name of Fentress,
who had been employed at Newport
News, Va., came home on a visit to bis
family. He was feeling unwell at tho
time and called ID a physician. His
ailment was pronounced smallpox.
The family was at once quarantined
and a general vaccination ef the citi-zens
of Greensboro ordered by the
board of aldermen. Fentress has not
been confined to his bed, and but for
the strict quarantine observed, would
have been able to have gone about his
usual occupation. He has never been
separated from his family and neither
his wife nor any of the children have
been sick, although it is now seventeen
days since he came home. Thedocters
say the limit for centractlng smallpox
from another person is fourteen days,
from which it will be seen there is now
no danger whatever. It is also pretty
strong evidence that there has been ne
smallpox in Greensboro, in which be-lief
a great many people concur. All
persons who cams in contact with the
patient have been conHned in houses of
detention, where they will be kept un-til
the supposed danger is passed. The
city has not been quarantined and
everybody is free to come and go as
they please. Persons having business
here need have no fears whatever, as
they can come to Greensboro with per-fect
safety. There is absolutely no
danger of smallpox here. We make
this statement because of the erroneous
and false reports that have gone out
from here and been circulated through
the country.
