Jackson Argus – Butts County March 4, 1898
Ordinary Carmichael has had six cottages built out at the detention camp, near 
the poor farm, and will remove all suspicious cases there at once.  At present 
there is only one family, consisting  of the five Negroes from near Flovilla, 
who were removed there this week.  Of the five at the camp there is only one 
case of smallpox, the others being held as suspects on account of their being 
thrown in company with the case under treatment.

Messrs. Matt McMichael and B. T. Deason have been employed as nurses and have 
entered upon the discharge of their duties in this capacity.

Dr. W. C. Bryant will be the physician in charge and he will remain at the camp 
until the disease is stamped out.  He went out yesterday morning and took 
charge of the affairs at the camp.
