Smallpox fears ease as Hickory fights outbreak
The Board of Health urges vaccination for all school children and general vaccination in Hickory amid 16 to 18 mild cases. A colored woman returning from Charlotte is blamed for spreading the disease, but officials say quarantines are in place and the outbreak is rapidly subdued. The city notes reports of 50 cases are false and cites laws requiring doctors to report contagious illness and authorities to disinfect homes and quarantine patients.
