CORN CAUSES PELLAGRA.
Disease Caused Many Deaths and
Insanity in Italy.

Washington. D. C.-In view of reports
Of pellagra in some parts of the South,
and the Investigations which have fol-
lowed, a report just issued by the pub
lie health and marine hospital service
bearing upon the spread of the disease
in Italy is of special interest as showing
the methods that country is following
to stamp out the contagion.
Deteriorated maize and corn smut are
regarded as the special GEOLOGIC factors
in producing the specific poisons. Pela-
grins in Italy, it is stated, number about
5000, and during 1906 and 1907 the
disease was the cause of 1873 deaths
and 1928 cases of insanity.

C.. R. Smith Is a Convict.

BY overruling the suggestion of error
filed by counsel for Charles R. Smith,
sentenced to life Imprisonment for the
killing of E. A. Laurent at Artesia last
January, the mandate of the supreme
court is that the conviction and sentence
must stand, and the wealthy planter and
citizen of Lowndes county must go to
the state penitentiary. The members
of the court conferred together, and after
going over the lengthy document pre-
pared by Smiths counsel, an order over
ruling the motion was made by justices
Mayes and Smith, Chief Justice Whit

Petition for Soil Survey.

A petition Is being circulated In the
Seventh congressional district asking the
department of agriculture at Washing
ton to authorize a soil survey for that
district. The chief reason offered by
Congressman Dickson for asking a soil
survey at this time is the fact that the
boil weevil has invaded every county in
his district, and he believes that a soil
survey would enable the agricultural
interests to more i~ntelligently determine
the crops, other than cotton, to which
the soil of that section is best adapted.

Both Have Histories.

Among the companies comprising the
Mississippi National Guard there are
some of them that boast a historic
lineage and a glorious past, among which
may be mentioned the famous Volunteer
Southrons of Vicksburg, which boasts Of
no less illustrious a founder than Jeffer-
son Davis himself, which was organized
back in the latter '40s, and formed a
part of the First Mississippi regiment,
which he led at Buena Vista and Cheru-
busco. Just as historic and interesting
is the organization known as Company
C, Second infantry, or the Columbus
Rifemen, which was organized in 1887,
and was engaged in the Mexican War
along with the Volunteer Southrons;
went to the Confederacy in the early
part of 1861, and has the distinction of
having furnished four brigadier-generals
to that service.

May Maneuver in Mississippi Battlefield

May Maneuver in Mississippi Battlefield
The proposition and movement being
launched in certain circles, especially in
Vicksburg, and by others interested, to
have Mississippi reach out for the gen
eral maneuvers of the Regular army or
CARNATIONS in conjunction with the
several State National Guard organiza-
tions in 1910, has received a fresh inn
petus by the discussion which has nat
urally grown out of the mingling to-
gether of so many practical military
men here the past ten days. 1t is not in
any sense a competition for an encamp-
ment of state troops along with regu-
lars, such as is in progress here now,
but the scheme is more ambitious. 1t
contemplates the bringing of from 5000
to 10000 troops to Mississippi soil, and
transfer the periodical maneuvers from
~Chickamauga to the historic heights and
| redoubts around Vicksburg.

the formation of trusts and combines.
Suit against fifty or more fire insur-
ance companies having membership in
various fire prevention and inspection bu'
reaus alleged to be engaged in rate max
ing is being prepared by District At
torney George H. Strange, of the First
district, and will be filed in the chaneery

The contents of the injunction bill
have not been officially announced, but
it is learned that the penalties claimed
will even exceed two penalty suits IN
Clay and Harrison counties against the
Standard Oil Company, aggregating $22,
100000, and the suit against the alleged

eral, asking for penalties aggregating
more than $14, 100000.
Best Eneampneht Ever.
Major-General Keesler, speaking IN re-
gard to the encampment, remarked:
This is without doubt the best camp
the Mississippi National Guard has ever
had, which is correct from several differ
emit points of view. First, it is a work
ing camp, and second, we have instruc.
tors in every department, infantry, cav
airy, artillery, signal corps, hospital
corps and general staff work, who are
regular army officers, who know how to
do things and when to do them. In ad.
dition, this is undoubtedly the best camp
site, taking it all round, that we have
ever had, with the sanitation as well
looked after as possible. We are outside
the city, yet convenient for all practi'
cal purposes, and have most every con.
venience that a soldier could have or
expect"
