Lettuce and Smallpox.

Lettuce is an absolute preventive of
small pox. No one is in the least
particle of danger of catching small
pox who eats little lettuce every day.
Small pox belongs to the scorbutic
class of diseases. Sailors at sea, de-
prived of fresh vegetables, get scurvy.
Scurvy is typical scorbutic disease.
Smallpox is another. Small pox always
RACES during the winter season, when
the poor people are deprived of fresh
vegetable foods. Celery and onions are
good for this purpose, but there is
such long interval between their be-
ing gathered and being eaten that
they lose most of their anti-scorbutic
properties. Lettuce is served shortly
after it is picked and hence contains
the valuable properties which will
prevent smallpox. 1t is a thousand
times better than vaccination. 1t has
no liabilities, like vaccintion to pro-
duce other diseases We are willing to
stake our professional reputation on
the broad statement that anyone who
eats lettuce daily will not catch small
pox whether he be vaccinated or not.

PRACTICAL SILK CULTURE.
The Ladies of Goodwill, Sumter

Special to The State.

Special to The State.
Goodwill, April 2.-An experiment
in silk culture is being made by some
ladies here. They made some fine
silk twenty-odd years ago, but found
SO much trouble to market the pro-
duct that they did not continue the
industry. In one of their former
trials they made the mistake of feed.
ing the worms on mulberry leaves of
a different variety, and the change OF
diet crazed the little workers and
instead of spinning cocoons they spun
webs all around on the floor until
death came to their release. One hank
of their silk was exhibitd at the New
Orleans exposition and another was
made into an American silk dress that
was presented to Mrs. Garfield, soon
after the death of President Garfield,
this being the only South Carolina
grown silk that could be procured at
that time.
It is very interesting to watch the
silk worms in their various stages OF
growth, and requires constant atten-
tion to feed them, provide suitable
frames for them and keep mice and
spiders away. The work is light and
pleasant, gathering the mulberry leaves
being the hardest part of it. But not
many persons would take the necessary
pains to make a success

4 GOAGAREE STEAMER
Will Carry Cotton Goods From
Columbia and Reduce Freight
Rates.

Columbia, April 1.-Mr. W. B.
Smith Whaley and the other officers
of the Olympia, CRANKY and Richland
cotton mills have closed a contract for
steel hull, side-wheel freight boat,
to have a carrying capacity of 200 tons,
and to be ready for use on November l.
The boat is to be used for the carry
ing of cotton goods to Charleston for
shipment North via the Clyde Line,
and will cut freight rates in half.
The officers, who are also interested
in the Columbia and Georgetown
steamboat company, decided upon this
short time ago and the contract was
given out in the past few days to
the Stevens Merrill Engineering COM
pany, of Jackson, Fla. The boat will
be known as the Washington A. Clark,
and will be 1s5 by so feet, double
decker, the lower deck being for
freight and the upper for pilot houses.
The hull will be of steel and the
boat will draw three feet of water
when loaded to its full capacity, 200
tons. The speed of the Washington
A. Clark in still water is guaranteed
to be twelve miles an hour. The boat
will cost about $40, 600.
= The boat will be used for the ex-
clusiye'shipment of cotton goods North
by waiter, although, of course, on
the return trips other freight will be
carried. By this route it is estimat-
ed that cotton goods, which now are
shipped North by rail at Al cents
hundred, will cost about 30 cents.
AS the same men interested IN the
Columbia and Georgetown Steamboat
company are building this boat there
Will, Of course, be no competition be-
tween the two, as it is thought that
freight shipped to Columbia as soon
as river navigation is open will re-
ouire several more boats, and the
Washington A. Clark on the down
trip will be used only for cotton goods.

RECKLESS RIDING
ON DANGEROUS ROAD.
Count Elliot Zborowski, of New
York Killed in France.

Nice, France, April Count Elliot
Zborowski of New York was killed to-
day in an automobile hill climbing
race between here and La Turbie.
His chafeur, Baron de Pellange, was
seriously injured. The course, which
is Is kilometres long, is known as be-
ing the most dangerous hereabouts.
It runs around sharp corners along
the road leading from Nice to Genoa.
It was covered by last years winner
under II minutes.
The accident occurred during one of
the trials, along what is known as the
corniche stretch. Just at the moment
the vehicle reached an abrupt angle
the car struck a small rock in the
pathway, causing sudden swerve
which precipitated the two men
against wall. Zborowski appears to
have struck head-frst, as his skull was
smashed in by the violence of the
shock. Although the baron was also
hurled against the wall he did not
strike on his head.
Zborowski, who expected to cover
the course in Is minutes, had a
machine weighing 1000 pounds. He
leaves a widow, but not children.
The body of Count Zborowski was
brought to the chapel of his chateau
here and his wife was notified. When
she arrived at the chapel an affecting
scene took place. The trip today was
the first Zborowski had made over the
route and he was not acquainted with
it's dangers. His machine was going
at a speed of 80 kilometres an hour
at the time of the accident.
The committee in charge of the
trial races has postponed the meeting.
Baron de Pallange, who acted as
Count Zborowski's chafeur, died to-
night of the injuries he received when
he was thrown from the car. The
witnesses of the start Of the race say
that Zborowski showed considerable
neryousnss while awaiting his turn:
Imprudently, he wore white kid
gloves, which prevented him from
having firm grasp of the break. At
the signal to go, he started at half
speed, which was soon increased to
full speed. The accident occurred at
the first turning of the road. The
shock was terrific ana Zborowski was
shot from his car and struck the wall
beside the road with his head
about six feet from the ground. He
fell to the ground dead with his arms
outstretched. Baron de Pallange was
thrown to the left.
At the same instant that Count
Zborowski and Baron de Pallange met
their death, another accident occur
red at another point on the road. The
chain of Baron Gasteux's automobile
broke and the car was overturned
against the rocks. The baron and his
chafeur were thrown out, but both
escaped with severe bruises.
