Colored People Smallpox Protective Association Formed in Columbia
In Columbia a new organization called the Colored People’s Smallpox Protective Association has been formed. It offers weekly sick benefits of 10 dollars to members bedridden with smallpox, with an initiation fee of 2 dollars this year rising to 3 next year. When benefits are drawn, other members contribute 25 cents each to sustain a $500 treasury, with Rev. M. C. Johnson as promoter and president. The move appears more insurance driven than reflecting a high smallpox threat locally.
