Tick Infested Cows.

IN old cow infested with ticks
strolled across the fair grounds sew
eral months ago.
This breach of far ground "edicet"
on the part OF the old cow caused
some severe criticism at the meeting
Of the South Carolina Agricultural
and Mechanical society last night and
developed the fact that the cattle ex-
hibited by John @. Mobley came from
tick territory and that they were
infected. Mr.. Mobley did not deny
that his cattle were infected but
stated that ne had used every means
to stamp out the tick and that his
work for the fair for several weeks
before the opening had prevented
him from examining the cattle before
they were shipped to Columbia. While
the tick situation was under a heavy

WHAT SUMTER NEEDS.

Sumter needs new hotel.
Built on a modern plan,
To accommodate the tourist
And the travelling man,
a hotel large and roomy
With table fare the best.
To induce the pleasure seekers
To be the City's guests.
Then the travelling people
Wont shun the city so.
They'll be glad when they come,
And sorry when they go.
Sumter must have what she needs.
But who will undertake the task
OF building this hotel?
Is the question now being asked
If none of her citizens are willing,
Who have the money to spare,
Induce someone from without
To build hotel here.

it was no less interesting. In all
about 20 cases of the disease were
demonstrated. The meeting was
very informal, resolving itself largely
into a matter of questions and an
swers and the exchange of individual
opinions and experiences.
In reply to the question of the
causation of pellagra Dr. c. IT.
Lavinder said that he was open
minded on the subject and certainly
less devout in his belief in the spoil
ed corn theory than he was q wear
ago. He thought the diagnosis OF
pellagra difficult without the skin
symptoms In other words, that
the presence or history of skin symp-
toms was essential for the diagnosis.
The Italians, however, made the dag
nosis regardless of the presence or
absence Of the skin LESSONS. 1t had
been we'll said that until the skin
SYMPTOMS appeared. the case was
like an unsigned letter. The skin
symptoms were the signature by
by which the letter was identified.
OF course, tentative diagnosis can
be made and treatment instituted.
The disease in Italy was very mild.
DR.. Lavinder saw there in two or
three months several hundred cases.
of which only three or four could
be considered really i'll.
Spreading Southwark.
In Italy the geography of the dis
ease is shifting and it appears to be
spreading southwark. DR.. Lavinder
considere a generous dietary, care
full attention and good nursing highly
important as We have no specific
remedies.
Gloomy Outlook.
AHo Speaher again deprecated the
gloomy outlook usually taken by the
public regarding peiiagra. He does
not entertain the opinion that pella-
gra is communicable. He would not
hesitate to bring a pellagra patient
into his own home. He also thought
that the general practitioners of South
Carolina have a great opportunity
for studying the epidemiology of the
disease; that is, to collect data re-
garding the home surrounding OF
patients. their dietary and habits.
Such data would prove of great VAL
ue in helping to solve the mystery
surrounding pellagra. Sambon thinks
the disease occurs in the foothills,
near swift-running streams, accord
ing to the speaker.
Most From Piedmont.
DR.. j. j. Watson stated that he had
seen cases from all parts Of the State
from the mountains to the sea, but
most of them came from the Pied
mont section!
Shipped Corn.
In Italy, the speaker said, the dis
ease was largely confined to the peas
! antry living in the country. but in
this country pellagra patients were
mostly urban and suburban and from
| those in the best circumstances. ply
sically and socially. His patients had
for the most part eaten h'pped corn.
AS already noted with us the dis
| ease differed from the Italian in in
tensity. over so per cent of his
! cases were women.
The disease was further discussed
in many of its phases by Drs. Napier,
Thompson, ]. H. Taylor. Duckett,

Some Random Thoughts.

Of our cotton prospects very much. A
65 per cent. crop for this section is
cut to not over a SO per cent. crop,
and one-fourth of that will be ting

seasons for the next two or three
weeks as to'whether we pick any Of
the frosted cotton or not. If it is
wet and warm the frosted bolls will
all rot, but dry weather. with mod
crate temperatures, something like
one-half of the frosted bolls will
open. Why this frost, the earliest

teres of the cotton business.
The County Unon will meet in

probably be made by committees Of

prove interesting reading. The great
