MORE VICTIMS
OF PELLAGRA
FIVE DEATHS IN BUTLER coUN-
ALABAMA-cITlZENs ARE
ALARMED.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Aug. 25.-
With five deaths from pellagra in But
Ter county, three others dying and five
other cases under observation, there
is almost panic In that section. The
state department of health has been
'importuned to send health officers, but
cannot now, as Dr. d. NJ. Mason, the
only expert of this kind in the service
of the state, is investigating in Clark
county, where more than 100 cases are
reported
The health department is up in the
air. Nothing can be done either TO
suppress or control the disease. II is
not thought that It is contagious, and
for this reason there has been delay
in getting in medical experts. County
healthy officers in these and other
counties have been instructed to iso-
late all cases and watch them with
a view to determining their nature.
Reports say that the victims pass
away in great agony, the pain being
like pouring water on wounds already
scalded.

". C. WHITTHORNE
FAVORS ASPHALT
HAS PROPOSITION FROM STAND.
OIL co. THAT WILL INTEREST
WiDE-AWAkE CITIZENS.

The construction Of roads seems L
be the all important subject with 1
number Of Maury county citizens
Those who have made a study of the
methods of building roads and the
necessity of good roads, take the
stand it is the greatest asset tina; a
county can possess, and it is a well
AIKEN view of the matter.
One of the most interested factors
in this necessary move is the Hon. W.
c. Whitthorne, and after having made
a close study of the matter he took il
lpon himself to have some figures
-aade on stretch Of road, SO as to
arrive at the possible cost of putting
{ road into first-class condition. Mr..
saw that the Standard Oil
Go. was offering to build roads with
the ssphaltam taken from their oils,
and he wrote to the head office about
the matter. An expert of the com
pany's was sent here and figures were
made on the stretch of road from the
corporation line to the Hampshire
pike. The expert proposed to build
he road and furnish the asphalt this
distance at total cost of about $500.
The road is guaranteed for five
ears and it is stated that it will last
| quarter of a century with a small
amount of repairing. There is posi-.
lively no dust from these asphalt |
Dads. 1t is said to be far superior to |
he tarviated roads.
Mr.. Whitthorne hopes to get enough |
interest aroused to have this stretch |
f road treated with the process and
hat in time the roads of the county
ill be constructed along the same
Ian.

At MIDNIGHTs DARK HOUR
Harris Arranged in The City Court
And Initiated Into Select Circles.
The Fee Was Sixteen Dollars And
Twenty Cents.

Between eleven and twelve O'CLOCK
Tuesday night the citizens residing or
West Seventh street we're alarmed by
the piercing screams of a distressed
woman. Those who looked out to
find the source of the bowls saw a
man hurrying down the north side
walk, and following MIN at a close
interval was a woman. 1t was she
who had emitted the bowls and as she
came nearer the screams increased in
volume and terror. The woman,
who when seen in the light proved to
be of dark complexion and charac-
ter of the same hue, went to the police
headquarters and reported to the off,
GERS that she had been numerically
beaten by her Observation-Disclosures
rage. The officers went in search of
the man, and while on his trail heard
the screams repeated and found that
the colored lady was the victim of a
second spanking at the hands of her
erstwhile lover. Before they could
reach the scene, however, the said
lover had taken to his heels, but soon
after was captured and lodged in Jail
This morning at the City Court
there was charge of wife-beating
registered against Harris Gray. Har-
ris appeared, but he was not at all |
gray, for the smile on his countenance
would have made an August Sun seek |
10 hide it's face in shame. With +
merry twinkle of the eye he plead
guilty and Judge Erwin, with his ac-
politieness told Harris that
ng courage he would elect him to the
and Protective Order of
Wife Beaters and Eaters, and that at
he next regular meeting of the Order
e would recommend him to the Elk
cutive Committee for Grand High
Vielder of the Bludgeon. This seem
d to please Harris nightly, but when
e was informed that the initiation
ee was 1920 and that he would be
cid on bond until this fee was paid,
is smile vanished like a ghost and
is proud head dropped in submission.

RESIDENCE BURNS
TO THE GROUND
HOME OF r. SPENCE DEMoLISH-
ED BY FIRE-SoME IN
SURANCE.

The fire department was called out
Monday night by fame in the resi-
dence of F. Spence between Thir
teenth and Fourteenth streets on High
street. The house was the property
of Lynch and e. c. Perry and was val
ued at about twelve hundred dollars
with insurance of seven hundred dol
lars in the Columbia Insurance Agency.
In addition to the household furniture
Mr.. Spence had stored in the house
three barber chairs and considerable
BARRIERS fixtures. The furniture was
insured with Hendley, Frierson &
Cochran to the amount of four hun
dred dollars and the BARRIERS fixtures
with the same company and for the
same amount The house was COM
pletely demolished and only a small
part of the BARRIERS supplies and prac-
tically none of the household furniture
was saved
The origin of the fire is shrouded in
mystery. Except Mr.. Spence the
entire family had been away from
home for several days and Mr. Spence
says there had not been a fire in the
house since his wife left. The blaze
began in the kitchen and Mr.. Spence
has no definite idea as to how it orig
mated. BY the time the fire depart
ment reached it, the house was unable
to be saved.

POPULAR JURIsT RECEIVES MANY
ASSURANCES OF

FROM LOCAL ELECTORATE
Stands Flat-FOOted For The improve

Tells What Putnam County is
Doing.

Judge D. L. Lansden, of Cookeville
Putnam county, is spending today il
Columbia in the interest of his candi
dacy for Supreme Judge of Tennes
see. He spent this morning in calling
upon members of the local bar, and
other citizens, and everywhere re
ceived assurances of support. He was
the guest of Hon. ]. H. Dining, who
devoted the day to showing him about
the city.
Il am here in the interest of my
candidacy" said Judge Lansden,
when interviewed by a representative
of The Herald. And | am pleased to
say that / have received many assur-
ances OF support and expect to be
elected. Everywhere / have been l
have found that my friends are active
in my behalf, and are doing all they
can to further my interests. The out
look is certainly bright" Judge Lans-
den declined to discuss current poll
tics, naturally feeling that the dignity
Of the bench prevents his doing so.
He said that it hadn't been long ito
wait when referring to his last race,
the history of which is well known to
the public.
ptlf IN hn nh Of dc hoI
distinguished jurist was not at all re-
ticent. Il am thoroughly in favor of
good roads and have noted with much
pleasure the strides in this direction
that have been made by my home
county, Putnam. Recently Putnam
voted $150,000 in bonds for the con-
struction of good roads, and will do |
even more than that to perfect her |
highways. l think that no question |
before the people is of more vital in
terest." !
There is no stronger advocate of the
improvement of Tennessee highways
than Judge Lansden, and his inter-
views on the subject have recently APP
peared in many of the state papers
Judge Lansden is at present Chan
cellor of the Fourth Chancery Divis-
ion and enjoys the distinction of be-
ing reversed fewer times than any
jurist who has occupied the bench for
an equal length of time. He is pop
ular throughout the state, and there
is little doubt but that he will make
the best race of his life this year.

INSANE NEGRO RUNS AMUcK
AT MONROE, LOU

WAS A COCAINE FIEND
Three Men Fatally Hurt, And The
Remaining Two Dozen More or
Less seriousIy--Fouoht For Half
An Hour.

MONROE, La, Aug. 25.-Tuesday
morning at about 10 o'clock, Edward
IS. Wade, or Way, a negro supposed to
be from Pine Bluff, Ark, apparently
while crazed with cocaine, ran amuck
on Grand and Desiard street, the prin-
cipal thoroughfares of this town,
shooting Unfortunately to the right
and left at every man and woman he
sighted, fatally wounding three men
and injuring twenty-four others less
seriously. The negro is supposed to
have arrived at Monroe Monday night.
Early Tuesday morning he went In
to hardware store and purchased
double-barreled breech-loading shot
gun. He walked to the corner OF
Grand and Desiard, the business GEN.
ter of the city, and without word Of
worning got the gun in position and
opened fire on everyone who came
within sight
Policeman Hugh Bigger, who was
stationed at the corner, attempted to
take the gun from the negro, but was
shot through the bowels and will die.
Deputy Sheriff T. A Grant, who
went to the assistance of the police
man, was shot in the neck and breast
and was injured fatally. Simon
Marks who joined in the attempt to
stop the negro, was aftally shot in
the breast
By this time, nearly everybody had
run from their Offices and stores.
When anyone approached the corner
of Grand and Desiard streets the me-
gro would fire both barrels of his gun,
then step out of range and reload his
weapon. The battle was kept up for
half an hour. Besides Officer Bigger,
Deputy Sheriff Grant and Mr.. Marks,
all fatally wounded, George McCor-
mack was shot in the arm. Judge A.
A. Gunby, formerly district judge and
4 candidate for congress; A. A. For

The insane negro was finally
rought down by well directed shot
through the heart, which caused in
tant death. Some of the men tied
ope around the negros neck and
ung him up to an adjacent telegraph
ole that the crowd which assembled
light see him. The body was then
AIKEN down, and removed to the old
