Recently right much has been said
about those dying Of Deilagra. who
had never eaten corn products, alsol
about proper cooking Of corn prod
nets AS Il prevention Of pellagra.
There are two points connected with
this subject that require thorough in
VestigatiOn before one can arrive at
a definite conclusion.
First. Does fermentation of un-
cured corn produce a germ or a pois-
or? Second. Does the fungus COM
monty known as corn smut" produce
g poison or germ that will cause nell

would suggest that it be converted
into corn whiskey. If fermentation

Of corn products would produce pel-
lagra much quicker than eating them
because of the greater degree of fer
mentation, and therefore the more
concentrated the poison If fermented
corn produces a germ and not a
poison, then corn whiskey and thor,
oughly cooked corn products will not
produce pellagra. Pellagra or no pei

and corn cured in the shock should
not be stored until February, and not
then unless the cob is Dry. 1 earn
estly urge all farmers to thoroughly
cure their corn, thus preventing, it
may be, pellagra in man, blind stag
gers in horses and the plague in
swine.

They should be made to utilize the
litter on the place. when available.
Unfortunately, whites and blacks are
too prone to clear all the woodland
and leave no trash with which to
make homemade fertilizers.
1t is a suicidal policy on the part
of landlord and tenant to destroy this
most valuable - unct to any farm,
for the sake of temporarily increas-
ed rental. He should be made to
plant peas and not allowed to mil
the vines by the roots. The great
curse to our rented lands is the lack
of vegetable ma tier. Peas should be
furnished just as guano, for a negro
is as sure to sell his pea seed as he
is to dispose of his cotton eed.
That the system in vogue hereto

miserable farce and failure is fast be-

the change for the better will grad

situation is that the landlord, and not

land (entirely too much) which are

too strong drift of substantial white

best we can until more favorable con-
ditions arise for it's settlement The
materials which this class Of land
owners have to contend with are,
necessarily, more or less crude and
unsatisfactory.

the defence was ready, Attorney
Cochran made a motion for a con-
tinuance Of tho Farnum case. Mr..
Cochran stated that the defendant
was arrested eighteen months ago
upNn warrant charging conspiracy,
that he catered into a recognizance
to appear and meet this indictment.
At the present term of court, two
counts Of bribery were AIDED to the
two charges of conspiracy. the brib-
cry charges being entirely distinct Of
fences. said Nj. Cochran. That the
defendant had had no preliminary ex-
animation. and that the charges of
bribery were made only last week,
and that he had had no time to be
prepared for the trial. Mr.. Cochran
cited several cases in support of his
contention for a continuance. urging
that no notice had been given of the
bribery charge.
Attorney General Lyon. for the
State. said that he was not surprised
that the defence was not ready. That
he felt sure that the defendant had
no desire to meet the issue at this
term. Mr.. Lyon pointed out that in
the case cited In support of a con-
tinuance, the offence was capital. and
that in the present case 1t Is a mis-
demeanor and that the defendant had
not said that he was lacking any ma
terial witness or given any other rea-
son for asking the court for a con-
tinuance. He stated that 1t might
have been assumed that bribery
would be one Of the charges from tn

tgation. Attorney p. l.. Abn, j, for
