PaIIagaa Caused by Eating Corn.

Pellagra appears to be a
poisoning due to using as food
Indian corn which, under the
influence of unidentified fun,
gi, has undergone certain
changes resulting in the pros
duction of one or more toxic
substances Of a chemical ma
ture.
The character of these sub
stances is unknown as yet. AS
for the fungi found on MAJ
ize, they are Of numerous va
rites, and no single one has
been found guilty of making
the mischief, The disease is
not contagious. Neither is
it hereditary, but the chil-
dren Of generations Of ''pel-
lagrins" are feeble and OF
lowered variety.
Pellagra generally occurs
among poor people who sub
sist largely on corn. But it
also occurs in others not poor.
Observation also shows that
in pellagrous countries the
corn is often Of poor quality,
gathered before it is ripe, and
not properly cured or stored,
50 that fungi more easily de-
velop on it.
Within the last two years,
for reasons unknown, the
disease in the United States
has rapidly preponderate,
and the mortality is high
But the chronic types OF the
malady, with their slow,
steady advance, are not in
frequent. - Statement by

The big circus has a reputation for
producing remarkable surprises in
it's arena until the public has
learned that it can attend an ex-
hibition of the Sells-Floto Circus
expecting to see something new
and different.
There is an unusual number of
features with this show this sea-
son. It is different to pick the
best. Some will like the trained
wild beasts exhibition or horse
wonders. Others will perfer thu
Nelson Family, Bartik Troupe,
the Riding Rooneys, the Rhoda
Royal Horses, the Elite Troupe
while some will spend most of the
time laughing at the host Of
clowns listening at the Park
Prentiss famous band, enjoying
the races, admiring the animals
or petting the beautiful Armour
Prize Horses. No matter which
way one looks while under any
one of the Sells Floto tents, he is
sure to see something out of the

Harrisman's WiII-HOW he Avoided the

Averell Harrison, one of the

for the disposal Of an estate
Of such magnitude. All his

Mrs. Hartman will inherit

erty between S75, 600, 900 and
500, 900, 900. Mr.. Harriman's
private fortune is supposed
to have been greater than

there is reasonto believe that
his children-three daugh~

sister and other relatives have
been substantially provided
for in gifts out of hand and

Hartman during his life

The will was filed today
with the surrogate of Orange

Put More Bagging on Your Cotton.

Again We Would urge our cot
ton growers to put on more bag
glng and ties to the full 6 per cent
limit this season. If you put on
less than 6 per cent that is to say
80 pounds on a 5O0-pound bale. 26
on a ,450-pound bale, etc.,-it is
simply a matter of giving the cot
ton buyer good cotton worth 123
cents a pound when he is pay
ing you only for bagging and ties
averaging about 81 cents a pound.
This is a matter our farmers have
been entirely too slow to under
stand.
The gist of the whole matter is
simply this: The price of cotton
lie fixed by the manufacturers who
buy on a basis Of 6 per cent de-
duction for bagging and ties. This
is to say, they figure on 80 pounds
tare for each 50O-pound bale; and
on each 5OO-pound bale, therefore,
they allow a price for the gross
bale sufficient to pay for only 47O
pounds net of lint cotton. In
other words, the price paid per
pound for the whole 500 pounds is
lowered 80 as to allow for 30
pounds tare.
Now, the average farmer instead
of putting 470 pounds of lint cot
ton and 30 pounds of bagging in
to a 50O-pound bale, puts in 47S
pounds of cotton and % pounds
of bagging-thereby putting in 8
extra pounds of 125 cent cotton
worth 81 instead of s pounds of
bagging and ties worth % cents.
Moreover, all the evidence goes
to show that if the farmer does
not put on full 80 pounds tare to
each 5OO-pound bale, the exporter
adds the extra 8 or 10 pounds IN
secondhand bagging and makes
the extra dollar that really be-
longs to the farmer. At a meet
ing of foreign manufacturers with
representatives of the Farmers
Union in Washington City a year
or two ago, the manufacturers in
CURED: "Why is it that when
cotton leaves the farmers gin it
has only 20 to % pounds Of tare,
but has 81 pounds by the time it
reaches us?" This is the expla-
nation.
Put on bagging to the full 6 per
cent limit. Mr.. Ransom Hinton,
a well known North Carolinian,
illustrates the matter thus: He
says a man would be foolish by
taking a box of meat to market
when he knew they would knock
off thirty pounds from the gross
weight for the weight of the box.
wouldn't you be foolish to use ~
ly a 20-round box instead-give
them 10 pounds of meat instead
Of 10 pounds of box?"
Even so it is with the farmer
who gets pay for COTTON on a ba-
sis of 30 pounds deduction for
bagging and ties while he puts on
only 20 pounds.
Put on all the bagging and ties
that you can buy for 81 cents a
pound and sell for 121 CENTS

Objectionable Words.

The following letter, which appeared
in the London Saturday Review" con-
tains g. hint for editors Of papers 9TH
or than the esteemed contemporary to
which it was addressed:
"Sir: May be allowed to point out,
with all respect, that two incorrect ex-
pressions have somehow crept into
your interesting review of tho Catho-
lie clopedia-'Romanist' and
'Romanism,' where Roman Catholic
and Roman Catholicism are meant?
Not only do these two expressions ut
terly fail to convey their intended
meaning, but there are unfortunately
still people who use them deliberately
in a contemptuous sense. Certain it is
they are resented by Roman Catholics
as offensive and meaningless. The
sturdy old Anglican, the late DR.. F.. G.
Lee, thus defines 'Romanist' in his
Glossary Of Liturgical Terms:' "A
vulgar world, used chiefly by the UNI
educated, to designate a member. of the
ancient and venerable Church of
Rome There is characteristic over
vehemence of statement in this, no
doubt, but who will not forgive a little
latitude Of expression in the condem-
nation of word which should never
have been allowed to defile the pure
wells Of our noble mother tongue2"
