Announcement
To the voters of Richmond
County:-
I will be a Candidate for the
Legislature subject to the action
of the Democratic Primary.
As I am so very busy making
food for the Sammies I will not
be able to make a canvass of the
County, and as this is to be a fight
less year in politics, I shall enter
into no controversy with anyone
in regard'to this nomination.
I have served the people of
Richmond County two terms in
the Legislature and during that
time I have done some legislat
ing for the county. I may have
made some mistakes -I do not
claim to be infallible, but upon
my record as a Legislator I pro
pose to stand in this Primary and
I earnestly urge every tax payer
in the county to scrutinize that
record closely, and if you find
that I have made good, I will
very greatly appreciate being re
turned. Very respectfully
M. C. Freeman.

HEALTH LAWS
Parents to Notify
Quarantne Officer.
"Sec. a It shall be the duty of every
parent, guardian, or householder, in the
order named, to notify the county quar
antine officer of the name, ' address, in
cluding the name of the school district,
of Bny person iu their family or house
hold about whom no physician has been
consulted but whom they have reason
to suspect of being afflicted with whoop
ing cough, measles, diphtheria, scarlet
fever, smallpox, infantile paralysis ty
phoid fever, or other diseases declared
by the North Carolina State Board of
Health to be infectious or contagious."
The State Board of Health at
a meeting held on April 17 at
Pinehurst, passed a resolution,
under authority of Chapter 263,
Section 8, Public Laws 1917, de
claring the following named
diseases also reportable, viz: ;
Measles (both kinds,)
Chicken pox
Septic sore throat
You are directed to make re
ports of these and others as re
quired by law and regulations,
to the county quarantine officer
or to the local officer, as the case
maybe.
In this connection, I would
state for your information that a
very large number of the com
municable diseases have been
reported to this office during the
winter, and even now the num
ber is large. In many places
these prevail in epidemic form.
The law and the rules made
thereunder for the control and
prevention of communicable dis
eases are believed to be ample
and sufficient. There seems,
therefore, to be but one explana
tion for this condition of affairs,
and that is, the law is not being
enforced. If it were otherwise,
this condition would not exist,
nor would this letter be neces
sary. The War Department views
with no little concern this un
usual prevalence of communica
ble diseases among the soldiers
arriving at the several camps,
who have come from from North
Carolina. The Surgeon General
requested that fullest cooperation
and mutual assistance be given
by the Board to the Army in
order to keep the soldier boys
from this State free from com
municable diseases. The board
has gladly availed itself of such
opportunity, and has therefore
committed itself to this policy.
In accordance with the request
of the Board, the Surgeon Gen
eral of the Army has detailed
two officers of the Medical Corps
for duty With the board to ren
der such aid and assistance as
may be possible for the better
enforcement of the law and reg
ulations, and at the same time
supply the Medical Department
of the United States with in
formation regarding the health
of the State as will enable it to
better protect the health of the
soldier.
Three inspectors, representa
tives of th e Board and the Army,
will be sent to the several
counties, to aid and assist in
making the law and the regula
tions regarding contagious dis
eases more effective.
Respectfully yours,
W. S. RANKIN,
Secretary.
Dr. J. M Maness, Quarantine
officer for Richmond county.
