with twenty years imprisonment
in the penitentiary was the verdict
returnedafor Dune B. Cooper and
Robin Cooper for killing Senator
e. w. Carmack. Tennessee was
virtually on trial in this case, and
the verdict isregarded throughout
the United States as at least par
tial triumph of justice.
While the verdict seems light to
the friends of the dead statesman,
sigh Of relief went up from the
State and the nation over the an
nouncement of the verdict There
is little hope that the trial judge
will grant new trial, and there is
nothing between the defendants
and the penitentiary except pos
sible reversal on some technicality
by the Supreme Court, or pardon
by the Governor.
A threat of death had been sent
by Cooper to'Carmack. Through
partisan sympathy, Cooper being
Patterson's close political adviser,
attempts have been made to Justify
the Cooper challenge by referring
back to the contest for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Governor
last year. Carmack lost, but he
had not given up the fight for
Statewide prohibition, and some
time in September became editor
of the Nashville Tennessean.
In the meantime Governor Pat
terson and former Governor Cox,
deadly enemies, had become rec
onciled. The Tennessean charged
that Colonel Cooper brought about
this reconciliation, and referred to
it in rather humorous vein in its
editorial columns. Mr.. Carmack
also intimated that in order to save
Patterson the Democratic leaders
were preparing to trade Bryan for
the Governorship.
On Sunday, November s, the day
l
before the assassination of Mr..
Carmack, the editorial "Across the
Muddy Chasm" appeared in the
Tennessean. The liquor interests,
led by Governor Patterson, had
declared in favor of localoption,
and though elected on pledge
that he would support Statewide
prohibition bill, former Governor
Cox was summoned to Nashville,
and later we find him leading the
fight in the Senate against the
Statewide measures.
In this editorial Mr.. Carmack
humorously referred to the recon-
ciliation Of Cox and Patterson as
"happy reunion of congenial and
confuxible spirits separated by
evil fates although born for each
other" giving Cooper the honors
of being peace maker. In ending
the editorial Mr.. Cariback spoke
Of the honors of Office and substan-
tial rewards to be distributed, and
said mo doubt, the main thing was
that Governor Cox agreed to join
himself with Ban Murray, Dune
Cooper and Spared Hill" and aid
them in their fight against prohi-
bition.
On reading this Colonel Cooper
sent message and threat to Mr..
Carmack demanding that his name
should not appear again in the
paper. This was delivered to Mr..
Carmack, who said that Colonel
Cooper's threat had made the ces-
sation Of the editorials impossible;
/ that if the Tennessean never again
used Cooper's name the public
would believe that the paper had
been bluffed and it would lose
caste. SO on Monday, November
9, the day of the killing the fol

ALL MEN PRIESTS
REV. ROLLINS EXPLAINS SPHERE
 OF LAY ACTIVITY.
Delivers Expressive Address ut the Ma 5estic Before Large Audience Of Men On Christian
 DuffHa

Rev. William Rollins brought home forcefully to every one of the hun dred and more men who attended the monday meetings in the Majestic The atre yesterday. that all were duty bound to be a lay priest. His theme was continuation of his subject for the previous day, "The priesthoods of all mankind"
 If we know the truth" he explain ed. I've must tell it to others and therein lies our duty as priests of Christianity
 What is our sphere as lay priests?
 We have first of all our duty to the family. The family existed before church or State. What the family is, If the family is impure, 1t makes the others impure. We have our great op- portunity in making the home and its relationships noble.
 Every father Is priest to his child. What the father does, the little boy or girl thinks is right. A man stands, to them, in the place of God. What kind of a God have you been to your child?
 Then there is the relation of hus- band and wife. Each should influence the life of the other for the better. You should be a priest unto your wife. Your very actions and words play | great part in her attitude towards God, and you are responsible for 1t. How much. also, the sister depends on the brother! How she looks up to his strength and opinions! Her whole l conduct may, at times, change because of some action of his.
 There Is, too, sphere of friendship | This relationship makes each man powerful influence on the other for good or for bad. If a man brings Christian principles into his living. he will throw his friends life into better channels. Each man is responsible for the soul of his friend. We should tell him about the truth that we have learned.
 Another sphere is that of the busi- ness relationship. The business life Of of a community Is bound to reflect the morals of those who go to make 1t up, It is inevitable that each individual affect 1t more or less. Whether It's tone is high and Christian. depends upon you.
 There is. finally. the relation Of all mankind If one part suffers, all suf- fers. Our neighbor needs us. This Is our greatest opportunity. It has no 1 limit, it is worldwide.
 "The truth of a universal priesthood gives dignity to life, such as 1t can- not have otherwise.

 NOUNCES FOR CONGRESS-.
Thls Means There VIII Be . Three COrnered Fight Between Cap thin HobsOn, w. c. Da-

Eutaw. Mch. 2s (Special)-Hon. W. B. Oliver, of Tuscaloosa. several years Solicitor for this circuit, has announced to his friends here that he will be a candidate for Congress in the Sixth District and has solicited their support.
 The announcement of MT. Oliver means that there will be three-cor- nered fight for Congress between Capt. Richmond Pearson Hobson. Hon. w. c. Davis of Jasper and MT. Oliver.
 While the Congressional race will excite much interest the announcement of Mir Oliver complicates local politics. Judge S. H. Sprott. of Livingston. will retire from the Circuit bench and Mir. Oliver would. of course. resign as So- licitor. This would leave two impor- tant offices to be filled. MT. Oliver had been regarded as e probable candidate to succeed Judge Sprott. No other name has been brought forward as yet for the office.
 The friends of John Mcqueen of Eu- taw have suggested him as likely candidate for Solicitor and 1t Is prob- able he will make the race to succeed Mir Oliver. James A. Mitchell, of Livingston will probably run for So- uCltOT.

 The formation of the company to manufacture alcohol utilities Is re- suit of the removal of the government tax on industrial alcohol, which has put 1t once more within the reach of the people as a fuel. The company Is putting on the market at present, one and two-hole stove, and a self-nea ting revolving Iron, made in two sizes. one being six and a half pounds, for regu- lar use, and a larger one weighing eighteen pounds. to be used as press ing or c tailors' goose iron.
 The irons have been put to the se- yerest tests. They have proved to be easily operated, and perfectly safe to handle. The small tank or fuel reser- voir holds two ounces of alcohol and will burn one hour, costing little over 1 cent an hour.
 Beginning Monday there will be a demonstration of both the irons and the stoves at the Montgomery Fair.

PELLAGRA,
The Disease That is Now Found in
Parts Of the South.

The Disease That is Now Found in
Parts Of the South.
(From a bulletin Of the United States
Health and Marine Hospital Serv-
vice.
Pellagra has been known in Spain
since 1885 and was first described by
G.. Casal Of Oviedo, who, observing the
disease among the Austrian peasants
and finding nothing on the subject in
medical literature, called it NAL de la
rosa from its characteristic erythe-
MAJ. He regarded it. as a kind Of lep-
rosy. Later it was observed and de-
scribed under a variety of names in
Spanish literature.
It seems to have appeared in Italy
about 1850, but was first described
there about 1771, and F'rapolli of Mi
Ian, first applied the name Of pellagra
%(Italian, pelle-skin, and agra
rough) to the disease. Here, as in
Spain, the disease was described I'M
der several different names. BY 1884
il seems to ave become of such i'm
portance thai a hospital was estab-
lished under royal authority for a
study of it's nature and the elder
Strambio was placed in charge. About
1910 MarZari first called attention to
the relation between maize and pella-
era. and in 1874 Balardini first sug-
gested the theory that the disease
might be due to spoiled m~aize--that
is. maize which nad undergone a
change by reason Of the growth Of
fungi on the grain.
The disease has been and still is a
yeritable scourge to certain parts of
Europe. 1t seems to have followed
close Upon the Introduction of maize
culture from America, first in Spain
in 1900, and later in other parts Of
Europe. The original homes Of maize
(America and Asia) have, however,
escaped. probably by reason OF eli
mates better adapted to maize culture.
The pellagra zone is small when COM
pared with the area over which maize
is cultivated. Yet pellagra does not
occur except Where maize is grown
and extensively used as food by the
poorer classes.
Without quoting full data, some
idea of the extent Of the disease may
be gained from the figures which fol-
low: TrilIer states that there are
$1,000 10000 pellagTins in Rumania;
thai in certain parts of Italy as much
as 80 per cent. to so per cent Of the
population have the disease, and that
in 1899 there were nearly $4,000 sick
with the disease in all Italy, this be-
ing upward OF ten to the thousand or

dress before the Nurses Association
which met there, spoke concerning
pellagra, first tracing h origin of
the disease from 1875 when in Spain
it was thought to be leprosy. In its re-
port of the address of DR.. Wood the
Wilmington Star said that he declared
conditions growing more serious. the
the public should be aroused, that pei
lagra is second only in Importance to
tuberculosis. In it's of his
address the Star continues:
1t was in 1898 that the first case in
this country was discovered in New
York City. The present epidemic was
discovered by an Alabama physician
ana the disease has spread very rap
1dly in this State and South Caro-
Ina. The speaker was given the op-
Ortunlty to see his first case in Will
mlngton in 1905. Four respectable
coiored people were afflicted with the
disease and three of the patients died.
The speaker and DR. Bellamy attend
ed the patients. The disease was un-
known to them and they were very
much puzzled over the cases. He
came to the conclusion that it was a
form of malaria and read a paper in
Atlantic City to that effect. He dis
covered his mistake and set about to
study the disease in all it's phases.
The death rate for the first year and
a half was 95 to SO per cent, and since
then there have been no deaths here
from the disease. The disease has
assumed chronic form and is of the
Italian type, but there is no mention
in Italian literature of the disease.
The disease is not confined to any
particular class Of people as the
speaker had seen persons in all sta
tons Of life afflicted with it.
Insanity invariably results where
the disease runs for as long as three
years. Sometimes insanity is mani
fest before any of the other symp-
toms are shown.
A to the causes the speaker did
not hold to the theory that it was
from Indian corn. He and DR.. Bel
1amy are conducting a number of
experiments now and they hope to
be able in a short time to clear the
good name Of corn. The cause, what
ever it is, must be ascertained if pos
slble. said the speaker, who admitted
that there were but very few physi-
cianes who did not blieye the disease
was caused from corn.
How to Prevent Pellagra.
DR.. William T. Woodley, of Char
lotte, in an article as to peIlagra, has
this to say Of the prevention of the
disease:
W have 2 sure method of pre-.
ventlOn. Let the millers grind nc
corn into meal unless it is cured fol
them unde contract. It should Ia
stated in contract that the fodder
must not be pulled, thus giving thu
bread corn all the nutriment possible;
that the corn must be cured on tn
stalk standing in the field until colo
weather and fully cured, as evidenced
by the cob being dry, and then stored
in we'll ventilated barns. Adopt this
method Of curing corn for milling
purposes, and if fermented corn is The
cause Of pellagra the cause will be
forever removed.

Better Than Driving a Hog.

The handiest little contraption We
have is for moving 9 hog or pig from
one place to another. It is a common
shipping crate mounted on an old
walking cultivatOr. h arch has to
be raised near the opposite end from
the open one, SO that when that end
is resting on the ground the slant is
not too steep for the hog to walk
onto. Tt is easy to get a hog into
this. as he thinks he is going TO walk
through, and with two handles on the
exit end it is not difficult to wheel a
hog where wanted.-A. Homan.
