REHOBOTH NEWS.
Very Able Addresses at the w
o. w. Picnic, Delightful
measuring" Party.
Meeting at Rehoboth.
Written for last week.)

At this writing Monday afternoon
we are having splendid season of
rain which is very beneficial to the
young crops.
The W. .. w. picnic at Lii berty
Hill last Thursday was a most en-
ioyable gathering. The crowd was
large and good order prevailed. The
dinner was most delightful one
and the program was well carried
out. Prof. w. w. Fuller in very
appropriate speech welcomed all
visitors and also presided over the
meeting. The first speaker intro
duced was one whom all delight
to honor, the Hon. ]. G. Sheppard,
of Edgefeld, who stood in a few
hundred yards of his old native
home and who as usual made an ex-
cellent speech. In his opening re-
marks he became reminiscent and
spoke of his boyhood days and paid
a beautiful and touching tribute to
some of the heroes of the communi-
ty who had been called up higher
and whose faces he sadly missed.
He also spoke Of the great advance
ment of the American people in the
last century and of the confidence
and brotherly feeling now existing,
encouraged largely by the great
fratelnal orders.
The next speaker introduced was
Rev. J. T. Littlejohn, of Red Hill,
who has the happy faculty of making
himself at home everywhere. He
spoke at some length of the great
good that has been accomplished
by the Woodmen of the World and
other fraternal organizations. His
speech was followed along the same
line by Rev. J. P. Dendy, of An
derson, who is the pastor of Betha-
ny church. Rev. S. R. Bass of Nc
Cormick also made capital speech.

been of great benefit to our camp

Mr.. McColl commended the peo :
ple of Edgefeld for having nine
school districts i'll which special
Tux is levied for the support of tn e
public schools but said that num-
ber should be increased. He de-
plored the fact that the average
salary of the teachers in this county
is only s267.
The splendid address of Mr.. Nc
Coll, SO fraughtwith timely admo-
nitions and wise counsel, made an
exceedingly favorable impression.
DIR. G. E. Burts was next called
upon, and in his forceful manner
urged the-people to apply what they
had learned fromS the able speakers
who had addressed them. He said
holiness means Wilderness, the de-
velopment of mind, body and soul,
and that the man who neglects the
public school fails to do his duty as
a Christian citizen.
He predicted that this rally would
mark the beginning of a revival of
education in the county, and urged
that every community in the county
have IN educational rally of its own.
DR.. Burts was greatly pleased that
every speaker who preceded aim
had laid great stress upon the COM
mon schools, the rural schools.

self is a good man, and most ex-
cellent preacher. He is very conse-
Grated, has fine mind, has pleas
ing address, and a magnetic voice,
and is easily among the best preach
ers in the state. He preached the
plain gospel truth with force and
great clearness in the power of the
spiritand love of the Master. There
were no accessions, but we trust
the church was greatly benefited
and strengthened.
Our pastor Rev. L. B. White
commenced a meeting at Modoc
yesterday, being assisted by Rev.
Frank M. Hauser, of St. Matthews.
Mr.. Hauser is no stranger, having
preached in protracted meetings at

pie.
Our meeting brought among us
many interesting visitors but none
gave us more pleasure than that of
Mr.. and Mrs. Ed Prince, of Cold

daughter, Fannie Bell. Fannie Bell
is not only sweet and pretty, but
she is exceedingly smart and inter

hope they will come often.

PELLAGRA INCREASING.
Large Conference of Physicians
Held at Abbeville Saturday
to Study the New Dis :.
ease.

When the newly discovered dis
ease, "pellagra," which possibly is
only an old disease with a new name,
was first discussed, the laity, and
doubtless not few of the medical
fraternity, were disposed to ,teeat it
as joke; but the disease has be-
come so widespread and so disastrous
in it's effects as to cause considerable
alarm.
Saturday las5 some seventy-odd
physicians andi., ,adical students from
different parts Of the state had
conference in Abbeville for the pur-
pose Of studying the disease. Be
sides considerable discussion, sever
al valuable papers were read by ply
sicians, giving their experience in
treating the disease.
A Greenwood physician who has
recently treated nine cases stated
that the characteristic symptoms of
pellagra are discoloration of the
skin on the hands, arms, neck, knees,
and feet, and sometimes face and
breast, that develop a, red blotchy
appearance, then becoming dark
brown, while the skin assumes an
erythematous condition, with ulcer
ations. Accompanying this phenom-
enon there is a persistent dysentary
that will not yield to the usual treat
ment and causes emaciation of the
patient. The mouth and other
body orifces become sore and the
tongue assumes blistered appear
ance with accompanying pain that
extends backward into the throat
and neck"
One peculiarly of the pellagra is
that the mind is affected, resulting
in insanity as the disease progresses.
The mortality is generally about
fifty per cent, being as high as sew
ty-fve per cent in some countries.
DR.. III. E. Mcconnell, of Chester,
who was the first physician in this
country to diagnose and name the
disease, stated that about Is per
cent of his patients are females but
could &ye mo reason why women
are more eptible than men. ~ =
AS it is: generally believed that
pellagra is caused BY eating bread
made from unsound corn, DIR. Nc
Copnell had the following to say:
If the disease is due to eating
bread, ETC., made from musty meal,
then we must see to it that our
johnny cakes and mullins are
made from good sound meal like the
kind our fathers were raised on.
Meal from sound corn, that has
stood in the field till frost, after the
fodder has been pulled and was
thoroughly dry when harvested, and
also selected-the best corn i'll the
crib being put in a bin for meal and
the rest fed to the stock.
L believe the Western plan of
harvesting corn that is fast being
adopted in the South, of cutting and
shocking the corn just when the
fodder is ripe and the grain still
soft, has something to do with the
development # the fungus that pro-
duces the disease"
