A BIRTHDAY PARTY.

Quite a number of boys and girls
gathered at the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs NJ c.. Stublefield, ON the first
Saturday after the closing of school
May %, 1909.
We started from our homes abou
2:30 and arrived at Mr.. Stublefield's IS
about 3.
Webb, who gave the party, met us
at the gate and welcomed us in.
We entered the house and took
off our hats and went into the back
yard where bench and number of
chairs were under a chinaberry tree.
I'm the center was small table with
a talking machine ON it. We lis
tened at it talk, sing and laugh
a while, them we went into the lawn.
Here we played tap and hide-in-see
There were four swings and one fly
ing jennie in which we spent many
happy minutes.
When we were singing We heard
some one call us and We all went to
the house. We were counted and
there were thirty of us. We all went
to the front porch and fixed to go
to the table We drew card from a
basket with a number ON it. There
was the same number ON two cards
and those who got same numbers
went together. The table was in the
shade under a large tree. In the
center of it was a boquet of beautiful
magnolias and pansies. Around these
were four of the best cakes ever
baked, pineapple, banana, white an
yellow. There was not room for all
around the table, but We got seat
ON the steps or bench
Mr.. White and Stubblefield served
the delicious creams. 1t was served
DIN small courses with spoons about
four inches long. There was half an
hour spent at least in eating it.
Then we went into the lawns and
ram the wild geese in the pond and
watched them swim while. The
geese we're quite amusing as we had
not seen any before. We also spent
much time in watching the pea fowls.
They were of amusement also.
We were sorry, but we had to- go,
for we had stayed one hour over time
already.
We, the thirty, returned home after
spending one of our joyful afternoons
of nineteen and mime.
We hope that this will not be the
last party Web will give us.

believe, from the description of a ne
gro held din jail at Senatobia, Miss.
for a minor ofense that he was the
Wi1l Mack wanted in this county ON
charge of rape. He asked George
Owen, Marshal of Pelahatchie, to go
to that place to see If the negro
was Win Mack Owen did SO and
phoned Sheriff Write that the negro
was Mack as he knew him we'll and
could not be mistaken. Mr.. White
phoned him to bring the prisoner to
Jackson ON the next train and that
he would meet him there and place
the fiend in the Kinds county jail
for safe keeping.
Governor Noel had telephoned the
sheriff of Tate county to detain the
negro there, but receiving a reply
that Owen had already left with the
prisoner, the Governor then wired
the sheriff of Grenada county to tax
the prisoner away from Owen at
that place and confine him in the
Jail there. On OWENS arrival at
Grenada he had to- turn Mack over TO
the sheriff. Owens went to bed and
the next morning proceeded to the
jail to get the anklets off the negro,
which he had just bought at Senate
bia with his own money, the sheriff
informed him that General Arthur
Fridge, Maj. Seutter with few mill
teamen had come there late at might
presented orders from Governor Noe
for the negro and had gone with him
where he did not know.

The Drinker and the Drunkard.

There is a significant distinction
drawn by DR.. Aked in his discussion
of christianity and Temperance" in
Appleton's Magazine, the distinction
between drinking and drunkenness.
The evils of drunkenness are no.
torious, he says. Nobody denies
them. Few people seek to minimize
them. And nobody on the face of
the earth defends drunkenness. And
yet, on the whole view, it seems GER
tain that the harm done by the
drinking which never passes into
drunkenness is greater than that
caused by all the drunkenness in the
world. This is not the same thing
as saying-as temperance advocates
are often accused of saying-that the
moderate drinker is a worse man
than the drunkard. 1t is a simple
statement of fact that in bulk the
injury done by the constant use of
alcoholic liquors in quantities in
sufficient to create drunkenness is
greater and more widespread than
the more patent and demonstrable
harm done by alcoholic excess.
Drunkenness has stained some of the
noblest names, destroyed some of the
finest intellects, ruined some of the
bravest souls of pulpit and pew. The
priest and prophet have erred
through strong drink All this is
known, indisputable. But there is
more. Every man or wo-
man familiar with the work of the
churches has rendered, sometimes al
most in agony of spirit, the problem
presented by the mass of SNUG, cal
lous indifference which no preaching
Or pleading can pierce. The preach

effort to seek and save the lost, re-
cetving branded upon his soul the
stigma of Christ, sees in his congre-
cation and in the circle of his friends
such easy, such cOmplacent indiffer-
ence to human sin and human suf-
fering as comes near to making ship
wreck of his faith in man and in
the power of God to save man from
himself Is there not cause? The
habltual use of intoxicating drink in
quantities which never go beyond
what is called moderation, which
has never caused drunkenness, and
which probably never will, creates
more than anything else with which
we have to do the type of character
so hard to move. The aspirations
have been a little dulIed, the con-
science made a little less sensitive,
the emotions a little less responsive
by the daily use of a drug, a drug
called alcohol" Would any rea-
sonable human being ask the most
eloquent Of living preachers to speak
his message to number of persons
who had been drugged into insensi-
bility by chloroform? Would a rea-
sonable person expect the best re-
suits from preaching to people who
had been chlorofOrmed into semi-in-
sensibility! Why make people dull
and heavy and stupid, and expect
swift responsiveness, generous ardor,
warm-hearted zeal? 1t is only a
question of degree. The drink habit
as practiced among really nice peo-
pie, good men and good women, peo-
pie who have never been what is
called the worse" for drink, and
who never will be, has a certain
physiological effect, and that effect
is demonstrated in the Indifference
found among 10000 congregations
throughout the land. 1t is not
drunkenness which is the preachers
deadliest enemy; it is drinking.

ease is essentially chronic, although
an acute Tor fIorid) type is usually
mentioned by writer's on pellagra.
DR.. J. w. Babcock of Columbia, s.
c., who was a classmate of former
President Roosevelt at Harvard,
says
I'VE have reported 1877 cases, the
distribution of which indicates that
the disease prevails in nearly every
county in the state (South Carolina.)
Making allowance for possible dupli-
cation of cases in the reports re-
ceived, and considering the number
of physicians who did not reply, we
believe a conservative estimate would
place the number of cases of peIla-
gra in South Carolina at about 500"
The most important conference on
pellagra in this country was that
held some months ago under the
auspices of the state board of health
of South Carolina at the state hos
pital for the insane.

Five Hundred Cases of Pellagra
Are Reported in South Carolina

NEW YORK.-The physicians of
the south have a new enemy to fight
in pellagra, a disease which has ap-
peared in this country only recently,
but which has prevailed for a long
time in Italy. Roumania, France,
Spain, Corfu and Upper Egypt. It
has been reported frequently in other
European countries, and occasionally
is heard of in India, Africa, Mexico
and South America.
At least one case has been discOv-
cred in New York, according to
Passed Assistant Surgeon c. H. Law
inder of the public health and marine
hospital service.
The spread of this disease in the
southern states has been rapid and
alarming. 1t has been the subject
of several conferences and cOnven-
tons of physicians in the last few
months. In spite of the generally
accepted theory that the dreaded all
ment comes from eating spoiled
maize it is the opinion of a great
many physicians that its origin really
has not been established. All must
agree that determined efforts must
be made to stamp it out in the south.
DR.. LaVinder, in an official report
to the government after an exhaust
i've study of the disease abroad, says
that the literature on the subject in
English is meager and unsatisfac-
tory. He says:
More or less recently there has
appeared in the southern states
disease which is possibly true pella- |
gra, and there is reason for believing |
that perhaps this disease may be !
quite prevalent, but unTecOgnized. !
Since it is of a serious nature, and |
epidemic in character, knowledge |
concerning it is becoming of much ;
importance to the American physi-
clan, and more especially to the prac- /
titioner in the southern states"
DR.. Layinder summarizes the .
symptoms of the disease as follows: .
'Pellegra is both an endemic and .
epidemic disease, which occurs in
those who feed on spoiled maize, and
is characterized by an erythema of
the skin, digestive disturbances and |
nervous disturbances. It may ter
inmate in such serious conditions as
grave cacheXia or insanity. 1t is

Of spring, ameliorates during the
summer and ordinarily in winter the

tent as often to give the false idea
Of recovery. So long as the cause
persists it reappears each year"
The disease usually begins with
disturbances, fol- +
owed shortly by erythema, and in
short time there is more or less in
rOlvement of the nervous symptoms. h

WILL BARR WHITE FLOUR
Its Sale in Georgia Will Be Forbid
den Under National Law.


An order has been issued by the
state department of agriculture for
bidding the sale of bleached flour
in Georgia after October LIST next.
This is in line with the order of
the national department forbidding
bleaching after May LIST.
The extra extension is allowed in
Georgia in order that the millers may
have time to dispose of their bleach
ed stock.
1t is stated that the millers will
cease bleaching at once, which
means that after a short while there
will be no pure white -four on the
Georgia market.
The national law prevents any be-
ing used in interstate commerce, and
| the state order will stop domestic
manufacture and sale.
1t is said that rs to so per cent.
of the -four now sold in Georgia is
bleached by the nitrogen peroxide
process, because it results in making
a whittier -four and enables the mill
to use larger portion of the wheat
than is the case where flour is not
bleached.
1t will readily be seen, therefore,
what an extensive effect this order
will have on the -four trade in this
state.
Most of the flour mills in Georgia
employ the nitrogen peroxide pro-
cess in bleaching. They will have to
discontinue this and stop the use of
expensive plants.
1t is urged that the use of nitro
gen peroxide in bleaching -four has
la deleterious effect upon the con-
sumner, and it was for this reason
that the national government for
babe its sale.
