The Menace Of "PeIagra.

The rapid development in the
Southern States Of the disease known
as "Pelagra" is causing much dis
cussion among physicians and the
public in general. This disease has
been known for long time in
Europe, where it has wrought great
havoc, but until recent times it was
not known that it had appeared in
this country at all. but the discov-
cry has been made that it has be-
come widespread over the entire
South. 1t is an epidemic disease
which is produced originally by the
eating of corn which is unripe or
spoiled, and develops chiefly among
those people who Subsist largely on
corn meal or other product of the
corn. 1t is now known beyond doubt
that the disease which has played
such havoc among the poorer classes
of Europe for SO many years is
Identical with the disease which has
been discovered to have strong
hold on the people of the South.

The Darlington War.

In commenting on the paragraph
in which we said ut is pity that
the Darlington riot has been dragged
from it's grave by the critics of Sem
ator Tillman to prove that he at that
time did not believe in a free press.
That is one page in the States Jhis-
tory that all of us should strive to
forget" The State says it "did not
mention the Darlington riot nor
Tillman's laudation of free press
until Tillman sent out letter charg-
ing The State and other newspapers
with responsibility for the murders
committed by the desneradoes he
commissioned to search private
homes and to kill citizens when
molested."
That is true, and, to be exactly
fair, as The State asks us to be,
we will state that the paragraph it
comments on was written before The
State had printed anything on the
subject. 1t was based on an edito-
rial The News and Courier had print
ed, which brought forth the letter
from Senator Tillman mentioned by
The State. We had no desire to be
unfair to The State or any other
newspaper. We simply expressed a
wish that such things as the Oar
lington riot would be forgotten.
We did not express that wish be-
cause we are ashamed Of any part
we took in it. We die ell we could
to get the troops to respond to the
call Of Governor Tillman, and we
are proud Of the fact that Orange
burg county sent two companies to
the seat of war and helped end the
riot without further bloodshed.
1t would have been a fearful state
of affairs if Governor Tillman had
failed to put down the riot, and the
State turned over to anarchy, as 1T
would have been had Governor Till
mans authority been successfully de-
fed, as few wished it to be. We
are glad that we were on the side
of law and order then, as we al
ways are. and did what we could to
uphold the majesty Of the law and
the authority of the chief magistrate
of the State. AS The State we'll
says, Those who then stood for
the right have no cause to dread
the lifting of the curtain" but we
wanted it lowered for the benefit of
those who attempted to destroy all
constituted authority and turn the
State over to mob rule and blood

sicians with it. 1t was a timely
discovery, and effective measures
should be adopted at once to stamp
out the disease, which is said to
be a serious menace to the whole
race, producing an enfeebled intel
lect and general racial deterioration.
We would like to know for the ben
eft of the public if any of our ply
sicians have ever discovered case

Question Not Answered.

In reply to our question, ION what
authority does The" State assert that
Senator Tillman coul!. have cleared
from $4,000 to $4,000 through
Legislation he was laying plans to
push through" The State quotes as
it's answer a part of Senator Till
mans speech of vindication in which
the Senator said the lands he wanted
to get are valued at from $1,000 to
$4,000 a quarter section. That
fixes the price of the land all right,
but it does not show that the legis-
lation Senator Tillman was laying
plans to push through had anything
to do with making these lands more
valuable to him than they are nat
urally. In other words, they are
now worth from $1,000 to $4,000
a section if any one could get hold
Of them without any legislation by
Senator Tillman or any one else.
The only bearing the legislation
proposed by Senator Tillman could
have on these lands was to compel
the company holding them to sell
them Ito anybody who sought to
obtain them at not exceeding one
hundred and sixty acres to each
person, and at price not exceeding
$3.50 per acre" Therefore, the
legislation that Senator Tillman was
laying plans to push through had
nothing to do with his clearing from
$4,000 to $4,000 out of these
lands, should he have been so for
tunate as to have gotten some of
it, but was intended to make law
breaking corporation obey the law.
If the law breaking company .uld
have been made to obey the law
without legislation, Senator Tillman
could have made just as much money
out of the lands he spoke of with
out any further legislation, as he
could have made through the legis-
lation he was laying plans to push
through If this is true, and we be-
lieve The State will admit it, We
again ask ION what authority does
The State assert that Senator Till
man could have cleared from $40,-
600 to $4,000 through legislation
he was laying plans to push
through" This question does not
pertain to the value of the lands,
but to the value of the legislation
to him that Senator Tillman was lay
ing plans to push through.
Will The State please inform us in
what way the legislation proposed
by Senator Tillman would have beh-
efitted him any more than it would
any other person that may have
bought some of these lands? Would
not the legislation proposed by Till
man, had it passed, benefited the
public by forcing law breaking COM
pany to obey the law? Could the leg
islation proposed by Senator Tillman
put dollar in his pocket?

Whether or not the plan just car
ried out by several thousand young
people in Cleveland, Ohio, and which
is being initiated elsewhere, of "liv-
ing for two weeks as Jesus would, "
has any permanent value depends
upon the intention of those who fol-
low it. If the attempt is for two
weeks only and with the idea that
the bars may be let down afterwards
it will spell failure. But if the idea
is to make the trial an incentive and
help to a permanent better life of
conduct and service, lasting good
may be expected.

Life insurance statistics show that
in the last twenty-five years the
average duration of life has increas-
ed by two years. This is encouraging
and due mainly to greater medical
and surgical knowledge, improved
sanitation, and general better con-
ditions of life. If more people would
stop burning the candle at both ends
by fast living and injudicious habits
the coming years would show an
even greater increase.

The story of the steamship Repub-
lie sending forth in all directions
it's mysterious and wireless silent
message for aid in it's hour of dis
tress and the quick response by
steamers more than a hundred miles

Of science. This fact not only shows
the great advance in knowledge that

The Cubans have again set up
housekeeping on their own account
and everybody wishes them success.
None the less one cannot view
Cuba's future without a certain mis-
giving. Many of her leaders seem
to be actuated with the spirit of
selfish ambition rather than that of
patriotism, and the Cubans as a
whole, do not seem to realize that
self-government is serious problem
calling for a very large amount of
wise self-restraint and patriotism in
order to make it a success.

Michael RYAN.

Michael Ryan, an old and faithful
.employe of the government, passed

Mr.. Ryan had been in the service of
the engineers department for many
years, the last five having been spent
in this city. Previous to coming

and before that he was at Galveston,
He was born in County Cary, Ireland,
and was about 60 years old. He has
no family and little is known of any

Calvary cemetery.
