PLIGHT OF LITTLE ONES
 TOUCHES HIS HEART

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 9-One of the most pathetic scenes witnessed at the old union passenger station for many a day occurred a few mornings ago, when from somewhere down on the Georgia Railroad came a destitute father with five hungry and scantily clothed little children. whose ages ranged from to 10 years.
 Some time ago the wife and mother of the family, it Is said. overcome by infatuation for another, deserted home.
 The husband. now left with the care of five helrless babies. made less head way than ever as a provider and de- cided that 1t would be better for the children to be taken care of by rela- lives in Illinois. The neighbors took up a collection for a ticket and the little family started out on their long jour ney. arriving in Atlanta hungry and tired--having had nothing to eat. save a biscuit from a passenger. during their whole days ride.
 Upon their arrival in Atlanta. Mrs Evans, of the Travellers Aid. quickly took 'n the situation and sent out for food for the little ones.
 Soon after this while the father was out on the street, there came in the station a man of good appearance whose sympathy was immediately tQuCntQ Dg IHG ltlttC OIpidhSs Wup "Oi v being taken care of by the little 10- year-old sister. who acted the moth CTS part. He took the little 2-year- old baby. all solled and without any signs of having had a bath for weeks. up in his arms and fondled 1t. Then going to the matron he got her perms sion to take the little family out to his home
 Tn the course of two or three hours. H.t1 dren whose appearance had becn SO transformed that for moment ucither the matron nor the eager crowd knew them. They he'd been given bath and wore new shoes and stockings. Their hair was tied with ribbons. new hats and drescts and large v3lise filed with clothes and also food had cetn provided for the remainder 7f their Journey.

VAST PECAN GROVES TO
 BE PLANTED IN TEXAS

San Antonio. Tex. Oct. s.--(special.) --Edgar B. Marchant. of Clinton, Ok. representing several Northern capital ists, has just acquired large tract of land in Hidalgo County. on which late this fall or early in the spring. a 1000 acre pecan grove will be planted.
 It Is his intention to keep planting alfalfa on the tract until the pecan trees have reached a size making this unproftable. Forty trees to the acre will be planted. and irrigating will be done from shallow wells. He expects that in ten years time the grove will return nuts to the value of $500 per acre.
 Another tract of 1000 acres will be put 10 similar use by Messrs. Dashioll and Curtis of San Antonio. It is to be planted with oranges. The land. part of an Is.00o acre property, Is now be- ing clsared. As soon as possible the entire tract will be planted in oceans and oranges. It is located near Fall furrias and is admirably adapted for this purpose. both as to climate and soil.

Atlanta Woman Re-
 covers From Illness Diagnosed as Pellagra by Discoverer of Al- ment--Physician Re- fuses to Tell Secret.

Has cure st .ast been found for pellagra, that dread disease which for 400 years hs.s mystified and baffied the worlds most skilled physicians? asks The Atlanta Journal.
 Pe,naps so. probably so. If indica- tions continue as favorably as they nov are in remarkable case that |. b1ing treated in Atlanta by an Atlanta physician. Should a cure be perma- nently effected. and there are strong and reasonable hopes that 1t will be, then new chapter will have been re- corded in the mighty book of mediea. science; a dark page hitherto undeci- pherable will have been cleared.
 For some months past the many friends of Mrs. Sarah Miller. one of the most highly connected and widely be- loved women of this section of the hor condition. After suffering a num- Der, of years from indigestion, partieu- larly during the summer months. with out suspecting that it was one of the symptoms of pellagra, Mrs. Miller con suited her family physician. pr. Mid dlebrooks. at Powder Springs. She was then living at that place. His inquiries developed the fact that she had been eating corn bread. Having read much
  quent. pr. Middlebrooks conceived the Idea that this might be the source of Mrs. Miller's maiady.
 Diagnosed an Peiiagra.
 Not being sure in his opinion, how ever, he persuaded her to come to At ianta where her case was diagnosed by pr. H. F. Harris, of the State Board oi Health. Dr. Harris is the first physi- clan who discovered pellagra in the Tfrxf0 0A1 katA 4l rlA la, | h matter has been extensive. He lmme- diately confirmed pr. Middlebrook's E diagnosis The case was one of charac- teristic peilagra. There was the high nervous tension, the improper assimi- lation of food and the irritation of the skin about the hands and face.
 So far as general opinion went the disease was incurab1e. Something like three weeks ago. however. pr. Frank L. Eskridge was summoned to attend Mrs. Miller. He was convinced that the case was pellagra. He began treating 1t. Today Mrs. Miller Is able to sit ur and her friends and relatives are high. iy hopeful of her recovery. pr. Esk ridge declined to go into a discussion of the case on the ground of profes. sional ethics. When called over tht telephone last evening, however. he ad mltted his attendance and expressed q tentative belief that cure could be wrought. Friends of Mrs. Miller stated that for the past week she has shown remarkable signs of getting well and that though she was evidently under the full power of the disease a few weeks ago. she Is now wonderfully im- proved.
 She Is staying with her daughter-in- law. Mrs. J. c. Harrison. wife of Coun- ciiman Harrison on Capitol Avenue. Her hundreds of friends In Atlanta. where she resided for many years and throughout this part of the State will be deeply gratlfied to learn of her i'm proyement and wish for her a speedy recovery.
 To the worldsof science her recovery will come as a revelation and will prove one of the momentous facts in the medical world.

 He Is not only a familiar figure to the people in the Equitable building. put in number of Mir. and Mrs. AL ston's friends homes. and he Is also q church going dog. Among the many instances In which his intelligence is shown Is his cleverness in coming rom the residence to Mr. Aiston's of- ice.
 MT. Aston often slips away in the
 morning from Fuzzy" but immediate- iy the dog discovers he has been left, he is seen skipping down the street straight for the Equitable building. He takes the first eiavator 70 come down and although the elevator man may try to put him on at other floors Fuzzy is wise and will not get or until the seventh is reached. Then he bounds straight to his masters onlce fHu fushes ufounu untit ne mas Mf. Alston. He Is perfectly satiscd to stay down town all day but when 1t is nearing o'clock and Mir. Aston Is seen to take out his watch, ssruzzy.. who for some minutes has been taking In every movement, springs up and Is ready to go home. When tho automo- bile Is reached downstairs he jumps into a corner out of the reach of the steering wheel.
 Another remarkable instance of his intelligence is that he Is able to dIs- tinguish the ring of Mrs. Alston's cleo tric motor car from the countless oth- CT automobiles on the street. A few days ago Mrs. Alston rode up in front of the Equitable building for Mir. AI- ston and gave her signal ring. sFvzzya recognizing this ring rushed ont of the office and In a second was seated by her side in the machine.
 Fuzzy" also likes to take walks but does not like to go alone. and when such a desire strikes him he is quick to make 1t known and grows impa- tient if Mir. Alston will not accompany him. He rushes around and gets hfs masters hat. gloves and cane and any- thing to remind him of thep walk.

 number of corn growing contests have been in progress in this part of the State this year. and valuable prizes are offered for the largest yields of corn. The Albany Herald has offersd several hundred dollars in cash for the largest yields of measured acres. and these will be awarded on Corn Carni- val Day in November.

 There will be an Interesting program of entertainment for visitors and men prominent in the State. including Com missioner of Agriculture Thomas c. Hudson will be invited to address the farmers.

 MT. James E. Downing. expert in stock investigations. of the United States Department of Agriculture, Bd- reau of Animal Industry. was In the city recently and called upon pr. J. A. Kiernon. Inspector in charge of fever tick eradication of Tennessee. Missis- sippi and Alabama. He Is making a tour of the South In order to make a report to the Department on the sit- nation. so far as 1t concerns the cattle tick and the eradication of this pestif- erous Insect.
 He says Tennessee will make a very creditable showing this year In the work of tick eradication. and that the Department is very anxious to have the entire State "cleaned up," especially because of the influence It's example will have ih assisting in a similar cru sade in Alabama and Mississippi.
 The cattle tick" said he. "is costing the affected area in the south some thing like s5o.00o.ooo per annum; and this Is the handicap the South has to contend with at market places and also at home. This condition practically ex- cltides livestock for exhibition pur- poses, discourages breeders from im- proving their herds. and only the hearty cooperation of the States them- selves can eradicate the pest and lift the burden from the twelve states auarantined in whole or In part.
 The South naturally has many ad- vantages over the North in the matter of more months of pasturage and fine climate for profitable dairying and cat tie rearing purposes. and this quaran- tine places this section at a great dis advantage and Is probably a factor in the prevailing high prices of beef.
 "The South as a dairy country fs ,un- excelled. but there Is no inducement for man to engage in 1t until he can have both cows and pastures free from ticks. One of the profitable industries of the North is the shipping of milk to the cities and special milk trains are run out a considerable distance to gather milk every morning. New York city has twelve such lines that gather cream and milk from as far as Ohio and Canada. When the ticks are out of the way there Is nothing to hinder the South from engaging in this same bus mess with profit"
