The Plague and fine Hog.

To the Editor Of The State:
The progressive thought Of the day is in
terested lin the subject Of -pellagra, its
u treatment and cure. DIR. Chelius S.
Pixley of W~innsboro has in my judgment
evolved the u Of this disease and a me-
thod of cure in the first and second stages
and which has given to the patient in the
late stage great relief.
DR.. Pi1ley attributes it to the use as
articles of diet Of hog meat, fats and their
extracts that become rancid before, or
afte;, being taken into the stomach.
This Is as much rs / have been able to
gather from him in a general conversation
oil way. He will read a paper at the pella-
era conference to be held during tho week
ture to say that his hearers, however edu-
Gated or critical, will be entertained, and
the discussion following will benefit all
concerned.
shall watch the development and tests
Of his therory in the future with great in
terest. w. w. Dixon.
Winnsboro, Sept. IS. 1909.
People believe just about what they
want to believe and nothing more. We
have taken the corn bread theory cum
orano sails from the start, and now when
fat back is proposed as the source OF pei
agra we fall in line Immediately. Fat
back Is sufficient unto itself to initiate and
propagate any disease from pelagra to
pimples. Single handed and alone fat
back has slain its thousands.
The good Book put the ban on fat back
four thousand years ago, but man is a
herd animal to convince. They are all from
Missouri and have TO be shown things
It Is q great pity THAT We cannot learn
some lessons without being shown The
cookbook says that ii. won't do for a warm
climate and it looks like we might at
least investigate.
We do not know what DR.. Pixley has to
say on the subject or how far he has push,
ed his Investigations, but we like the trail
he Is barking on better than the corn field
trail Of the other medicos.
When it comes to a choice between fat
back and corn bread we chose the latter
and whoop for Pixley. Fat back is only tit
to grease q Cross cut saw with any way,
and then it will rust the saw teeth.
There are plenty of things that will take
the place Of fat back in cooking, in fact
almost anything will take the place OF it
with us. In tropical countries where the
c~ocoanut grows, cocoanut oil is the sub
stituoe. We can find a substitute for it
here If we search diligently.
Fat back is common and unclean. furth-
ermore no orthodox Jew ever suffered
from Pelagra.

The Circus.

John Robinson's circus will be here Fri
day, October l. This circus is one of the
largest that comes to cities the size of Alb
beville. 1t requires 36 cars to handle il
and is one among the largest in the cOun
try.
The show is making its way into the pea
nut country Of Virginia. 1t is a little early
to show in the cotton belt as yet, but the
peanut crop is on. 1t comes earlier thar
the cotton crop.
The circuses go into the country when
conditions are most favorable in that coun'
try for them. They go out west when the
grain is just harvested; they go to Cali
fornia in the midst of the fruit season
they come south in the fall. During other
seasons of the year they make the large
cities and manufacturing centers where
crops do not affect the attendance on cir.
cuSeS.
Robinson's circur is not playing in the
south at present but just passing through
on its way to get it's share of the peanut
crop.

Editor Hugh Wilson.

some time ago that he had retired from
the editorship Of the Abbeville Press and
Banner, he Is still contributing to the
columns of that paper every week. His
mind has not lost any of its vigor,. and his
articles are as clear cut and as full Of kind
" humor as ever. We always enjoy read
ing anything that Mr.. Wilson writes,
whether we agree with it or not. In fact
we think we will not read the Press and
Banner any more after Mr.. Wilson quits
writing for it. The new editors, Messrs.
Bradley are all right, but the old paper
will never be the same without the old
editor.-Anderson Mail.

larly advantageous to use our potash

will probably get your cotton gathered
earlier this year than usual as the crop

Some Interesting Figeres Going to
 Show Prosperity of this Company.
 That the State of Georgia has re- sponded to the fact that the keeping of money within the borders of the State is a prime necessity to pros perity. and now Is investing more of its life insurance premium money within the borders of the State, is at tested by the splendid business enjoyed by the Empire Life Insurance Company of Atlanta, for the. year. 1908. and the great increase fn this business Tor the first six months of 1908.
 Through figures jest given out by that company, 1t is learned that the insurance written in Georgia by the Empire Life for the six months end ing June 30, amounted to the huge sum of s4.42s,76c. This is a splendid re- cord; for the month of June alone this company wrote business to the amount of s1,l32,750. During the year 1908 the Empire Life wrote paid-for business amounting to 85,s4s.136, which was more than the business of any other fife insurance company doing business in the State of Georgia during 1908.
 This company has established It's Alabama headquarters in Montgomery and has taken a suite of offices in the Bell Building under the management of J. B. Mathis. Supt. of Agents.

ADD LEAGUE MEETS
WILL SEND wnEvEm TO NATIONAL W CONVENTION.
LeIgtAy Dlseussssn ea Live Topics of Advsrt1slng Business, And of
 Metho1s to Increase Loague Nembership.

6. L. 6hulsin. one of the proprietori of the Fashion Shop. read an article before the members of the Advertising League of Montgomery at their lun- cheon yesterday noon at the Exchange Hotel from the magazine Brains" on The Discussion of the Methods and Mediums of the Advertising Problem and Its Solution"
 The article was not only entertain ing. but instructive. as one phase of the subject taken up was the reaching of the individual through the printed mediums directly provided by the advertiser. The article brought out clearly the use of personal, facsimile and circular letters, together with their use and limitations. The value of enclosing postage for reply was brought out some pointed facts con- cerning catalogue advertising.
 Following the luncheon. letter was rsad from Secretary Weever from the editor of the Social World" asking for membership to the Add League. Secretary Weever also read com munication from the National Associa- tion of Advertising Clubs of America relative to the affiliation of the Mont gomery Add League with the Na- tional body. and also concerning the sending of . representative to Louis- vile in August to represent Montgom- cry ct the convention of the associa- ton.
 F. P. Glass stated that Montgomery ought to have a representative at Louisville. and J. T. Gilmer suggested that MT. weever be sent as Montgom- ery's delegate. Secretary Weever stated that he could go at that time. and he estimated that the total ex- penses of the trip at $50. He further remarked that although the program for the convention had already been made out, he was sure he could get on the program somewhere to make few remarks for Montgomery.
 A motion was made to send Secretary weaver to Louisville to attend the ses- sions of the National Association. and stand his share of MT. Viewers ex- penses. J.. T. Gflmer stated that he expected to be up in that section of the country about that time and that he would try and make Louisville dur ing the sessions of the convention.
 Following this there was quite a lengthy discussion how the member ship of the league could be increased. and finally la motion was passed to have a committee appointed to interest the other merchants of the city in joining the league and to get after the present members to attend the lun- cheons.
 Before adjournment. Secretary Weev- CT handed each member July copy of the "Sign of the Times" publi- cation issued from Cincinnati. con- taininR a lengthy write up concerning the formation of Montgomery Add League.
 The meetings of the Add League are growing in favor with the merchants of the city. as the luncheons are not only entertaining but beneficial The topics discussed are generally the live topics of the day with advertising merchants.

BY LAWYER
SCOPES AT STORY OF
 ELLA GINGLEs.
Declares That Hers is . Plain Case oi Larceny And That Miss Barrette Has Been
 Abused.

Chicago. Ill.. July 16y-Tt came to theory today in the Ella Gingles trial.
 Assistant States Attorney Short led off. He tried to present to the jury a plain statement of the issues of the trial. attacking openly the vsractty of the Irish lace maker and stabbing covertly at her lawyer Patrick H. o'Donnell. He will conclude tomorrow morning and the case will end with the speeches of Mir O'Donnell anaSJohn O'Shaughnessy for the defense and a brief reply by the prosecutor.
 The Gingles girl smiled when the prosecutor mentioned the penitentiary sentence that might be given her. She chatted with other women. friends and appeared free from care.
 Tt is simple case" said Mir. Short. ''we are trying this girl on an in- dictment for stealing lace from Agnes Barrette. her former employer. The sensational story that the defendant has told about being mistreated. has nothing to do with the larceny charge. The state did not object because we wanted to see that the girl. poor and unprotected, was not being imposed upon. If she really was attacked in the Wellington Hotel the night of January 4, we wanted that fact aired iu court, so that the arm of the law might reach out and grasp the offend CTS. That is also the reason why the story of the attack of February 16 was brought out.
 "we wanted to learn whether thia story. almost unbelievable and almost unparalleled in the history of this country. was the imagination or hys' terical girl or whether 1t was con. spiracy between the girl and osme one else to make sensational defense to the plain charge of larceny. Whether she had such an advisor is for you to determine.
 "God only knows what this woman Miss Barrette-has gone through dur ing the past six months. She Is summed on the street. People go into her store and insult her.
 "The theory of the white slave is preposterous.
 "They attacked Miss Barrette's repu. tation but they would not let-~Tom TaRgart answer when I asked him about Miss Barrette's good name. Ia 1t true that Pat ODonnell is after Miss Barrettef He lost a good opportunity to be the Abraham Lincoln of the white slaves when he failed to cross examine this woman.
 Why didn't O'Donnell go to the hotel when he got the note saying that Ella was being killed? Instead he went to her home to make sure shs had carried out her plan.
 "why did O'Donnell tell the officers to find Miss Barrette before Ella had been discovered in the bath room! Was the whole affair pre-arranged? These mysterious things and this news paper notoriety all came the same way. Who has helped this girl concoct these stories? do not know, but I know she has had advice that did not help her any.

 All of this anticipation of sensa- ton comes of the knowledge that the Commission is not unanimously com mandatory of the attempts to enforce the prohibition laws in Montgomery. And the anticipation calls for some action on the part of the disapprovins factor in the body.
