CURE FOR SMALLPOX.

Mr.. D. Reeves, who has been with
Eccles & Bryan since III, hands the
Charlotte Observer a clipping which he
culled from a newspaper II years ago.
He believes in the recipe, and as small
pox talk is in the country now, The
Observer reproduces it for what it is
worth:
A correspondent of the Liverpool Mer-
curry writes to that journal as follows
81 am willing to risk my reputation as
a public man if the worst case of small
pox cannot be effectually cured in three
days simply by -of-tartar. This is
the sure and never failing remedy: One
ounce of cream Of tartar dissolved in a
pint of boiling water, to be drank when
cold at short intervals. 1t can be taken
anytime, and is a preventive as we'll as
curative. 1t is known to have cured in
a hundred thousand cases without fail
ure. I myself have restored hundreds
by this means. 1t never leaves a mark,
never causes blindness, and always pre-
vents tedious lingering. If the people
would only try it, and report the cures to
you, you would require to employ many
columns if you gave them publication"
In sending the foregoing to the Chicago
Tribune, a correspondent remarks that
it is "a well-known treatment of DIR.

SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS.
Enr Admission to the Bar.

For Admission to the bar.
Ex.Slate Detective w. H. Newbold
appeared before the supreme court last
Thursday to be examined for admis-
sion to the bar.
Ex-Governor Evans Married.
Governor John Gary Evans was
married at Waterbury, Connecticut,
last Wednesday, to Miss Emily Mans
field Plume, of that place.
The State Militia.
The annual report of the adjutant
and inspector general shows that the
enlisted militia of the state now num-
bers 2,942 men. Last year the enlist
ment included 1858 names. During
the present. year, Is companies have
disbanded. The figures above do not
include the naval reserves.
More Constables Recommended.
The State board of control is advis.
ing county boards to ask the governor
for the appointment of dispeusary con-
stables, especially in such counties as
are suffering considerably OH account
of violations of the dispensary law.
The idea of the state board contem-
plates only one constable for each
county. The probability is that the
governor will comply with such re-
quests as may be made by county
boards of control.

which is sufficient to induce the in
vestment of capital. Now, what are
these advantages First, that cotton
is conveniently near and that freight
on it can be saved second, that water
power is abundant if you care to utll-
ize it, and that coal is cheap if you
prefer to run by steam third, that Ia
bor is abundant and cheap, and not
inclined to organize against the en-
! ployers; fourth, that the enactment OF
restrictive labor laws is not likely to
trouble manufacturers for many years.
In our opinion the cheap labor, long
hours and freedom from legislative in
reference are the chief advantages,
and the others are unimportant and OF
doubtful value" The committee in
summing up its report says that while
the manufactures in the north, espe-
cially in Massachusetts,, cannot undo
labor legislation, they must meet the
competition by cutting wages.

HON. J. c. WILBORN.
Sketch of the President of the Cotton Grow
ers' Association.

Sketch of the President Of the Cotton Grow
ers' Association.
From the Memphis Cotton Planters Journal
Hon. J. c. Wilborn, president of the
Farmers Alliance of South Carolina
and of the Cotton Growers association
of the same slate, has had useful and
honorable career. He was born in
Guilford county, North Carolina, July
IA, 1856, and is in the prime of physi'
cal and intellectual vigor. His early
life was spent on farm but this did
not prevent him from seeking intellt c
| tual training, and at the age of 10 we
find him first honor graduate of Trim,
ity College, N. c. Subsequently he
taught school, reading law during bis
leisure hours, and was admitted to
practice after a thorough course oi
study.
As early as 1886, Mr.. Wilborn es.
poused the cause of agricultural edu-
cation, and introduced a resolution in
the York County Democratic conven'
lion favoring the acceptance of the
Clemson bequest. From 1888 TO 1894
he represented his people in the legis-
lature, where he served with distinc-
tion on important committees, notably
the judiciary and railroad. In 1894
he was elected railroad commissioner
for his state, to which position he was
reelected in 1896, without opposition,
for term of six years.
In 1897, in recognition Of his devo-
ton to agricultural interest, he was
elected president of the Farmers Alli-
ance of South Carolina, and in that
capacity he called convention of cot
ton growers to meet in Columbia, 5. e.,
November 10. At that convention he
was elected president of the Cotton
Growers association, and instructed to
call another convention to be held at
Atlanta on December IA.
Mr.. Wilborn is a man of splendid
executive capacity, and eminently
qualified by education and training to
render distinguished service to his peo-
pie in their effort to bring about bet
termeut of their condition. He ap-
pears to be the "right man in the right
place." and gratifying results may be
expected from his leadership.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1897-12-18

The action of the Atlanta convention
will be disappointing rather than other
wise to York county cotton growers.
While, OF course, the farmers in this Sec
ton realize that general reduction in the
cotton acreage would materially advance
prices, they do not believe that such re-
duction is practicable. Indeed, OF all the
schemes which have so far been suggest
ed, this would be the most difficult to car
ry out. For instance, while many farm
ers might agree to reduce their acreage
by, say one half, others foreseeing the
possible advantage, would at once make
arrangements to double. But still, it is
too early to become entirely discouraged.
The feeling that organization among the
farmers is absolutely necessary is now be-
coming very general, and the more the
matter is agitated, the more easy will it
be to accomplish the result desired. The
consolidation of the Southern Cotton
Growers association WIN tne aHierlcaii
Cotton Growers Protective association,
will no doubt make much stronger Or
ganization that would be either one alone.
If reduction of the acreage is not calcu-
lated to bring about the end desired-in-
crease of price-the fact will soon have
practical demonstration, and then the as
sociation may be induced to devote itself
to more heroic measures. In the mean
time, while we confess that they will
have to accept a great deal on faith, about
the best course for individual cotton
growers everywhere is to line up behind
the organization just formed, and do all
they can to successfully carry out its rec
concentrations.

the governor made the positive announce
ment that there would be no extension of
time granted this year. The announce
ment is thus made i'm order to give the

Still Another Chance.
Columbia State, Friday: Although it
was generally supposed that the last
chance for registration under the under
standing clause of the new constitution
expired with the days set apart in Deem
ber for the books to be open, it develops
that there is yet one more day upon which
voters can secure registration certificates
under that clause. Attorney General
Barber has received recently numerous
inquiries as to whether the time had ex-
pired. Yesterday he examined the law
and stated that there was yet one more
hay-the first Monday in January. The
present boards will conduct the registra-
ton on that day; then they will close
their books, make up the lists and file
them away. The act says that voters
may register upon the understanding
provision ''up to and including" the first
Monday in January, 1898.

SOUTHERN BANKERS.
Big Convention Held In Atlanta Last
Wednesday,.


Wednesday.
The convention of Southern bank.
ers, which met in Atlanta, Ga, last
Wednesday, was largely attended by
representive bankers from all parts oi
the south.
Quite mum ber of prominent finan'
ciers made addresses, and resolutions
were adopted calling for uniform
system of banking which would take
the government out of the business
and put all kinds of banks on the
same footing with regard to the issu'
ance of circulating notes.
After the adoption of the resolutions,
Julian S. Carr, a millionaire banker Of
North Carolina, was called upon for q
speech. He heartily responded. Most
of the bankers are known to be for the
single gold standard. Mr.. Carr, how.
ever, is for the free coinage of silver,
and his speech made sensation.
II am q free silver Democrat" he
declared. "When l get among bank
ers I confess that I feel lonesome, but
1 have plenty of company when l am
with the rest of the people. am for
state banks all right, and I do not care
if the notes don't circulate outside the
limits of their state. We want money
that we can keep at home. The trou-
BILE with this good money that circu'
lates everywhere is that it circulates
away from us. The gold standard
may be all right for the people up
north, where they have plenty OF
money; but we want something else.
l got my ideas of political economy
and finance by hard knocks. l tell
you that the alarm has been sounded
in the watch tower Of public opinion,
and the people are demanding thai
something be done. We had better
be doing it, too. l am for the dollar
of our daddies, state banks and free
silver"
Mr.. Carr's remarks were heartily
applauded, but there was no rejoinder.

CONTRACTION OF SMALLPOX.
DR.. E. W. Pressly Says There Is Danger
From Start to Finish.

Editor Yorkville Enquirer:
In your issue of December 18th, under
the heading "Contagion of Smallpox" ,"
this statement appears, viz: "There is
positively no danger of infection until
after the eruption develops"
have, experimentally, no familiarity
with the disease, having never seen a
case but in view Of its importance to the
public health in the present emergency,
I have taken the trouble to consult such
authorities as were accessible to me upon
this point and give below their opinion:
In peppers System of Medicine"
Vol. l, page 435, speaking on this point,
the author, James Nevins Hyde, M. D.,
of Chicago, says:
"From the beginning to the end of the
disease it is probable that all the tissues
and fluids of the infected body are in
various degrees capable of producing the
malady in those who are unprotected"
In the article on variola (smallpox) in
"Keating's Cyclopadia of the Diseases of
Children" on page 722, Vol. l, the author,
a. D. Blackader, NJ. D., University OF
Montreal, says, "The contagion is most
likely communicable from the onset of
the initiatory symptoms"
In his work on practice of Medicine" "
Roberts Bartholow, writing Of smallpox,
says, page 7O2, "There is no period from
the initial fever to the final desquamation
at which the disease may not be commu-
nicated to the susceptible"
William Osler, Johns Hopkins univer-
sity, in his practice of Medicine" page
Al, upon this point says: "The disease is
probably contagious from very earl!
stage, though 1 think it has not yet bceI
determined whether the contagion is act.
i've before the eruption Develops"
In view of the opinion of these men
than whom in America none are better
informed-I would advise all parties not
to risk too much on the faith of its i'll
communicability prior to the period of
the fully developed eruption.

smallpox; in view Of the fever that
would he caused among the students by
vaccination, and in view of bad sanitary
conditions about the college, the commits
sion thought that although they did not
consider that there was any pressing dan
ger of an epidemic, it would be just as
we'll for the students to take a vacation
until it was definitely known whether the
disease was spreading or had been sup
pressed. All but 10 or 20 young ladies
have gone to their homes.
Except for the know-it-all gentleman
that scared individual who is always try
ing to get up a sensation-the situation
now is quiet enough. The man referred
to has had in circulation during the past
few days a story to the effect that there
have been three deaths in Rock Hill,
and that Mrs. ]. B. johnson and one OF
her children have developed cases OF
smallpox. Just before THE ENQUIRER
went to press the reporter called up Dr.
J. b. Johnson through the telephone.
"Hello That you, Bony?"
"Yes."
| lOW are JOu lccililB
"As well as anybody could feel in quar-
antine."
"How is the little boy?"
"Setting up today, clear of fever, bright
and cheerful"
"And the rest of the family ?"
Gall quite we'll, thank YOU"
"Going to have any more cases of small
pox over there?"
Don't know; hope not, and consid'
ering all the circumstances, we don't fee
very much alarmed"
From other persons over the phone, the
!. reporter learned that the temper of the
people in the town Of Rock Hill was one
of general cheerfulness. Many of the
people who have been vaccinated are
nursing sore arms; but except All occa'
sional reference to these, the smallpox
is not mentioned. The people also are
disposed to preciate the manner il
which Yorkvi..e has been behaving al
along, and some have taken occasion tc
express admiration at the fact that the
people here have not worked themselve:
into the panicky feeling that has prevailed
elsewhere.

wILBORN is ENCOURAGED.


In response to request from Editor
CAN'T, President Wilborn, of the South
ern Association of Cotton growers, has
written the following:
DEAR SIR-In reply to your request for
my impression of the Atlanta convention,
I beg to enclose the report Of the COM
mittee on resolutions, which will give
you skeleton idea of what is to be done.
It is proposed to organize every township
i'm the state, close and compact, to have
presidents and secretaries of townships,
counties and states, and to enroll every
name that is willing to enlist in the fight
and to spot the man that sulks in his
tent.
Through state, county and township
bodies bureau Of information is estab-
lished, this for the purpose of informing
ourselves as to acreage and yield, etc.
Said information first compiled to be
communicated to state. county and town.
ship organizations, and afterwards given
to the public, if the bureau sees proper so
to do. most earnestly urge upon every
community to at once proceed to enroll
and organize and send delegates to their
January county conventions.
The people must realize that the organ,
ization is necessary. We want individual
actl"ity. The southern states nave only
com:;:Hnced to act. Itwould have thrilled
the healt of every cotton grower to have
heard the report of the commissioner OF
agriculture of Alabama ; they have called
state, county and district conventions and
are proceeding with an activity that will
he effective; every state is proceeding on
similar lines. Please remember that this
association is not yet 40 days old, first
springing into existence by my hum
ble call for convention of November
10th. There the association was formed.
History does not show where any army
was organized and modified in so short
a time. l have been surprised, almost
overwhelmed, at the unanimity of the
cotton growers of the south. All admit
that the time to act is at hand, and are
ready to fight fire with fire, to meet Or
ganization with organization.
Respectfully, J. C.. WILBoRN.

A SCIENTIFIC WONDER.

DIR. Miles Walker, or Yorkville, has
Just received from the manufacturers, a
microscope that is very well entitled to
be called a scientific wonder. The instru-
ment is exactly similar to those used III
the big hospitals throughout the country,
and by scientists whose investigations re-
quire the greatest possible magnifyipg
power.
Through the kindness of the doctor,
the reporter has been permitted to look
through the instrument at various objects,
including microbes of various kinds.
The instrument has magnifying pow
er of 1000 diameters, and speck of blood
no larger than the point of pin, and
scarcely distinguishable to the naked eye,
is made to appear as large as silver quar-
ter. In it also are to be seen numerous
cells, as large as and resembling those OF
honey comb.
Another drop contains typhoid fever
bacilli, another cholera, another diphthe-
ria, another tuberculosis, and still others
germs of different deadly diseases. These
germs are all safely imprisoned between
plates of glass. To the naked eye they
are invisible; but placed under micro
scope, they are as easily distinguished one
from another as is a crawfish from tad
pole.
With the knowledge of microscopy ac-
quired while in Baltimore last summer,
and now possessed of the most powerful
instrument made, along with authentic
specimens of various kinds of bacilli,
DR.. Walker thinks that he is in po-
sition to quickly determine, with scien-
tifc accuracy, the proper diagnosis OF
many diseases which, in the absence of
such facilities, have remained a source OF
doubt and perplexity.
