VACCINATION CENSUS SHOWS INCREASE Some interesting facta were revealed bribe report of the vaocination com mission to the city council, ThU com- misdou wm appointed by the board of health to cany out the compulsory vaccination ordinance of the city coun cil. .ft consisted of Dr*. Jenkins, Jar rell and BooobeUa. They were in atractad to taka the namee and addresses of alt citizens and Mate whether or not each was vaccinated, immnncs or ex Tha doctors (pent considerable time and did their work earefally. They were paid a dollar an hour to their ser vice*. Ittook them aomething over 1*6 boon to vaccinate 488 people, Dr. Jar- reli 6Ui was HO, Dr. Jenkiua <80. Dr, BoocbeUe, the city physician Who get* a regular salary ot |S0 a month charged 855 extra for his aerTioea in the matter. The doctors were paid 1188 for vaccina' ting the people and taking the census, while the vaonine points cost 825 more, *" , * w **iT the total covt about 8190, not quire 40 cents to eaob one vaccinated. The centos taken by the doctors while necessarily incomplete allows an increased population of several hundred for Thotnasville since the national oen ana in i900. The physicians’ fig ores are as follows COLOHED. Vaccinated by them..... 488 Exjuscd ......... *3 Immune .9987 Total coloreed ...- 8448 WHITE. Vaccinated by them.- Excused ...1001 Imwnne .............1174 >' Total whije...........22C4 ~Total popnlatlon 6850. Those pat in a ct-ss as Immnne have been previously vaccinated or have had' emslt-pox. Marshal Stephens, a man who ought to know says that there are atleast 1000 more people than the 6880 foand by the doctors. It would be vary difficult to find all the colored pnpnlr- lion, and the marshal saya the doctors da not know where the city limits are. Several ot those In tbo council chamber stated that the doctors did not call on tkem. So there can be no donbt of a large Increase in ThomasvUlo'i popula tion. The Mayor states that the work done has put the matter In hotter ehspe than it has ever been before. It appears on the report that the entire odored popu lation save 33, hare either been vacd- si vtod or are immune. The consul book, will give valnable In in cpidfixuio should one break out, salt is atleast a partial report of the towns citizenship. The doctors took the census in pencil, and City Clark Maclean will transfer so much of it aa is legible to the book pre pared for the purpose. At present there are no cases of small-pox in Thomas ville. A Tragic Death. Mr. B F.
