and never see a particle of corn bread.
But the very poor eat 1t, because 1t Is
cheap. And they do not know how to
grow It or to care for it after 1t Is
grown. They sow ii thick in drills
and then cut 1t green and take little
intelligent care of it. so that. it has
become soured and mouldy when they
cat ii. Large quantities of corn go
to Europe from this country, and Is
bought and eaten over there by the
poor on account Of its being 80 much
cheaper than wheat.
A good deal Of the corn that comes
to this eastern section of the United
States from the west Is not fit to eat.
Sometimes, as the farmers know. 1t
kills horses and mules. No doubt
much Of the meal that comes from the
west is made from that kind Of corn.
Two things are impressed upon us
by the spread Of this dreadful disease:
One is that we Of the south should
raise our own corn for food.
The other is, that our state law for
the inspection of foodstuffs should be
rigidly enforced. A few years ago
the legislature passed a pure food
law, introduced and carried through
by DR.. Wyche, of this county. Some
thing ought to be done to see that its
provisions are carried out.-Newberry

DREADFUL PEllAGRA.
Common Belief That It Originates
From Diseased Corn.

Some idea of the professional inter-
est that is being taken in the new dis
ease, pellagra, may be inferred from
the fact that at the meeting of the
county association at Abbeville on
Friday, physicians were present from
many of the nearby towns and coun-
ties. There were eight physicians
present. That shows the professional
interest. There were fourteen patients
present. That shows the prevalence
Of the disease to some extent.
The discussions were all on this one
subject; but they amounted to little
more than variations of cases, for 1t
appears that the doctors are just as
much at sea now as they were when
the disease was first noticed, a hun
dred or more years ago, in the old
country.
The cause is attributed to the eating
of maize or Indian corn--supposed to
be in a damaged state. One physician,
DR.. r. B. Epting Of Greenwood, at the
Abbeville meeting, stated that he had
made experiments in several cases that
he had treated that seemed to verify
this theory. When a patient would
show signs of Improvement or conval-
escence, he would give him corn bread
to eat, and the bad symptoms would
return invariably. This was not in one
or two cases, but in several
The conviction is general among
the physicians the world over that the
disease comes from damaged corn.
Where damaged corn is most common
the disease Is most common also. For
instance. in ROumania there are 10000
cases; in Italy 10000: in Spain 10000

THE American Prison association In
session at Seattle, Washington, has
agreed upon the following as part of
the report of the committee on crimi-
nal law reform:
Nothing in the administration of
criminal law is so impressive as swift
ness and certainty. Consequently,
nothing so describes it in the minds of
the public as lame and hating proce-
dure in the trial courts and disagree
ment of juries and delays and rever-
sails, for apparently technical reasons,
on appeal. Such things weaken pub
lie confidence in the administration OF
the law, discouraging sheriffs, police
and prosecuting officers and encour-
age criminals and increase crime"

SPECULATIVE MARKET,

Following are the developments in
the speculative market yesterday as
summarized in a New York dispatch
of last night:
Continued dry. hot weather in the
south and bullish private crop ac-
counts did not stimulate demand suf-
ficiently to maintain an early advance
in today's cotton market, and the
close was steady, net 4 points lower to
2 points higher, generally a point or
two higher on the active months. The
opening was steady at an advance Of
3 to 5 points and the market soon
sold 8 to 10 points net higher on COW
ering and bull support inspired by
steady cables and a renewal Of very
bullish reports from the southwest
Realizing was heavy at the advance
and while there was no change in the
character Of the crop news, or in
weather conditions beyond indications
for somewhat lower temperatures in
the southwest, the market gradually
eased off and was unsettled In the la
ter trading when there was a renewal
of local bear pressure. The close was
within or 3 points of the lowest

ALL DRY BUT six.
pispsnsary Election Came Close to
State Wide Prohibition.

pispensary Election Came Close to
State Wide Prohibition.
Only six of the twenty-one counties
that voted on the dispensary question
last Tuesday decided to remain wet
and they are Richland, Charleston.
Georgetown, Florence, Beaufort and
Aiken.
The election passed Off quietly and
without especial incident except In
two or three of the counties, notably
Richland, Aiken and Florence, where
there are charges Of irregularities In
the voting and threats Of contests.
In Charleston the vote was 1858 Tor
the retention Of the dispensary and
341 against. This Is complete with the
exception Of one box.
Aiken gave 1908 for the dispensary
and 1,148 for prohibition, failing to 60
dry by a vote of 100.
Beaufort was very close; 277 for the
dispensary and 239 for prohibition.
Bamberg gave only 162 votes for the
dispensary and 663 against 1t.
4. The Dorchester vote was light. but
prohibition won overwhelmingly.
Pretty nearly complete returns from
Lexington show 702 votes for the dis
pensary and 1,164 against 1t.
Georgetown ii pretty ciose' put Tue
dispensary wins on the face Of the re-
turns.
Complete returns In Florence coun-
ty show 883 votes for the dispensary
and 839 against 1t.
Lee county gave prohibition 5S6
votes and dispensary 304.
The vote in Sumter was quite small,
but prohibition won, 55S to SS2, ma
jority Of 176.
Kershaw county's vote was 674 to
$40.
Fairfield, Hampton, Colleton, Barn
well, Lee, Lexington, Orangeburg and
Williamsburg. all went dry by safe
matorities.
Reports have gone out that the pro-
hib ltionists will certainly contest the
counties Of Richland, Florence and
Aiken; but there are no contests an

1T is generally impossible for any
body to do anything that somebody
else cannot kick about: but as we see
it, the trouble involving President
Nell at Clemson college has been set
tied in a way that ought to meet with
general approval In rendering his
resignation, President Nell did the
right thing, and the trustees did the
right thing in accepting the same. as
well as in making the changes that
President Nell suggested in the by
laws governing the college. But will
everybody now be satisfied? We
hardly think so. The resignation in
cident seems to have developed that
after all President Nell is the very
best man for the place and many
thoughtful men will now insist that
just as he was right in rendering his
resignation, and just as the trustees
were right in accepting the same. there
should be some public pressure
brought to bear to secure a reconsid-
Grafton of the whole business Presi-
dent Nell is the best head that Glenn
son has had and it will be difficult to
find his superior for the place.

Coroner Louthian was summoned to
Pinckney Ferry last Tuesday morning.
to hold an inquest over the dead body
of a negro man who had been found
in the river at that place the Day De-
fore. Investigation developed that the
body was that Of Robert Young, who
had been drowned at Ninety-Nine Is
land on the Friday previous. Young
and another negro were trying to cross
the river in leaky boat which sank
on the way over, and Young being
unable to swim, went to the bottom.
The other negro escaped. The dead
man was identified by people who
came down from the construction work
at the island, and by watch, papers
and other articles in his pockets. The
body was badly decomposed when
found; but It was taken OF the hands
of the coroner by friends Of the dead
man. After learning the facts in the
case the coroner decided that an in
quest was unnecessary.

Abuse Of tho Credit systsm.-A New
Jersey man writing one Of the New
York papers, advocates q return to the
old plan Of Imprisonment for debt. OF
course, nobody will take his recon-
mendation seriously. Imprisonment
for debt belonged to a less civilized
age than this. And yet the license to
get in debt is woefully abused. Many
people make bills that they never in
tend to pay, taking care that they are
not large enough to justify an action
at law. Others are reckless to q de-
gree in incurring obligations with new
er q thought for the welfare of the in
dividual or firm extending credit. I'm
prisonment for debt will never be re-
vived, but there ought to be some way
to correct the growing abuse Of the
credit system.-Greensboro Telegram.

IT looks now as II the general as
sembly will, at its next session, enact
a statewide prohibition law. The
fact that so many counties have de-
clared for prohibition as against the
dispensary, will no doubt have a
strong influence in causing the gene
raj assembly to vote prohibition on
those counties which, by majority
votes have said that they did not
want It. We are afraid the politics, the
turmoil and the strife connected with
the whole subject are not yet over.

Farmers who have not already done
so, should now begin to examine their
corn with view to seed selection and
while they are about it, they should
take out Of their fields all the stalks
that show signs of disease.
The crops along the Howell's Ferry
road, between Yorkville and the four
mile post, are hardly up to those on
the Rutherford road to the six-mile

The conspicuous body so readily
noticeable in the east between and
10 o'clock at night Is the planet Mars.
Not only Is It now the most luminous
object in the heavens but its color is
peculiar, in that 1t is Of a distinctly
ruddy hue. Venus is the mistress of
the western sky, rising early In the
twilight Mars will continue to be
conspicuous for several months, its
greatest brilliancy being reached in
September. 1t has been moving ap-
parently eastward in the heavens since
the first Of the month but in a few
days, astronomers say, that it will take
a course westward by south and con-
tinue in that apparent direction until
about the end Of October when 1t will
resume its eastward direction. This
seeming change in course gives these
heavenly bodies so acting the name Of
planets, meaning to wander. A glance
