Pellapra In Corn Whisky

Says the South Boston News:
Three cases Of this new and strange
disease were reported in the last
two months by Richmond physi,
clans who say that little is known of
this disease, but the theory is that
it is caused by eating corn bread
made from diseased grain, The doc
tors further state that corn whiskey
is also said to contain the germs of
the dreaded disease, when che corn
from which the liquor is distilled
is unsound.

will be problem to solve as to
whether our people in the country,
especially the ladies, shall abandon
a safe drive to Lexington to do
their shopping or shall the automo-
bile be brought to a check. Already

CONDEM NED THE SPEECH
OF SECRETA OF WAR

OF SECRETA OF WAR
At meeting of Lee. Jackson Camp
of Confederate Veterans OF Lexlng-
tor. held Monday in the Courthouse
strong resolutions were unanimous
" adopted condemning the Secre-
tary of War, Hon. Jacob M. Dicken-
son, for the sentiments expressed
by him in recent address at
Gettysburg The Objectionable ut
terances by Mr.. Dickinson were
"Time has brought clearer Wis
ion of the tremendous evils to all
the States which would certainly
and Immediately have followed upon
the establishment of the Southern
Confederacv. There are
in the South but few if any who
would not turn swiftly, with sentl-
ments of adherence from any sug-
gestion that it would have been
better for the South if it had sue
ceeded in establishing an independ-
ent government"
After endorsing the resolutions
adopted by the Stonewall Jackson
Camp OF Staunton, which are en-
bodied as part OF their own reso-
lutions, Lee Jackson Camp goes on
record in the following,
1T is very significant fact
that these sudden bursts OF patriot
ism, which are invariably coupled
with thrusts at the glorious record
OF the South. emanate from those
who are the seekers after or the re-
cipients of Federal patronage.
Therein seems to lie reason for
their remuneration OF the faiths and
doctrines OF their fathers, that the
South in the great civil strife fought
for their rights as guaranteed by
the constitution of the United States
and as recognized by the statesmen
of the early part OF our history. In
fact, the Supreme Court of the Unit
ed States has more than once made
deliverance in accordance with the
views of the Southern States. And
now, at this late day, for a son OF
the South to express sentiments
counter to the recognized beliefs of
his fathers, is to open up the bat
teries of criticism from those who,
in time of war, barred their breasts
and pledged their fortunes for home
and Preside.

MUSIC

Richmond may not get to hear the
great soprano. Nordica. The demand
for dates for Madame Nordica is such
that the contemplated appearance in
Richmond of this world renowned
artist has been temporarily postponed.
and it is doubtful whether she can be
had at all on this tour. This will be
a great disappointment to the music
lovers of Richmond and vicinity. for
the announcement of her engagement
for Richmond caused widespread inter
est in social and musical circles.
However. some dates still remain
open for the month of April, and as
there is no May Festival this year. it
is suggested to secure Madame Nordica
and company and make their appear
ance the great musical event of the
year.
1t is believed if the management of
Madame Nordica could be shown a
large subscription list thus guarantee
ing that she would be greeted with a
INST class audience. that it would have
a great influence on the management
q giving Richmond a date.
Rutherford B. Jones and E. p. True
hood. who are backing the project
w1H make a thorough canvass of the
chs shortly in the interest of this
ev>nt. and those who are interested
in hearing the best the world produces
will be given opportunity to lend their
aid IN support. Very few cities of the
sizelof Richmond have been able to re
ceivN dates for Nordica this year. and
It WI add distinctly to the reputation
Of OR city to have her appear here
