NEGRO RESPONSIBLE
DR.. Stiles Declares Hook Worm
Disease infectious
AT THE NATIONAL CONFERENCE
Declare That 25 Per Gent Of tho Cot
ton Mill Operatives Are Infected
Lack of Sanitary Conditions.

Atlanta, Ca, Special.-"The most
srious infectious disese in the South
today is that Of the hookworm," "
declared DIR. Charles Wardel Stiles
of the United States Public Health
Service, in addressing the session Of
the first national conference called
for the study Of this disease here.
While specimens of the hookworm
have been found in the t,ew England
States, middle West and in the Nor
thern Pacific States, the disease il
primarily one of warm climate and
is generally prevalent in the South
Atlantic and Gulf States.
On the negro is placed the respon-
sibility for the presence of the dis
eae in the United States.
DR.. Stiles said that the hookworm
found here has been turned to the
west coast of Africa, "and it un-
doubtedly was brought here by the
negro"
In this connection DR.. Stiles called
attention to the fact that while the
negro had given to the whites the
hookworm, tuberculosis had been pre-
sented to the negro bv the whites and
to-day the death rate from consump-
tion among the negroes of the South
is three times the toll of that disease
among the whites.
twenty-five per cent CT the cotton
mill employees of the South are in
fected with the hookworm, said DR..
Stiles, who based the statement on
personal visits made to 12S mills in
North and South Carolina, Georgia,
Florida, Alabama and Mississippi.
The mills in the sandy sections of
these states showed a much higher
percentage of infections than did
those of the piedmont, or clay, sec
tions, In the mills of Atlanta the
infection was found to be less than
five per cent.
In some of the rural communities
of the South where there is an abb
solute lack of sanitary arrangement,
80 per cent of the inhabitants are
infected.
More than $50 physicians and rep
resentatives of life insurance o~~
panies and commercial organizations
from all sections of the United
States were present.

NEPOTISM AT
CLEMSON COLLEGE.
President Nell Criticises the School
Board.

Columbia, Specialize the report
|of the Legislative committee ap-
pointed last session to investigate the
State colleges, is appended a state
ment from former President Nell Of
Clemson severely criticising the board
of trustees and holding it responsible
for the long years of friction at the
college, and making several sensa-
tional charges against them, among
others that nepotism is so prevalent
in their employment of teachers and
others that friction is inevitable.
Specifying as to nepotism he makes
this statement: "R. w. Simpson,
three sons-in-law on the faculty; w.
w. Bradley, a brothe on the faculty;
j. Z. Wannamaker, a brother-in-law
on the faculty, nephew on the sta
tion staff, a niece in the Office of the
president; a relative in the treasur-
er's office; w. ID. Evans, a son in
the treasurer g office, a son holding
the position of fertilizer inspector;
Alan Johnstone, a nephew on the
faculty"
The report foreshadows the bitter
fight that is coming in the present
Legislature on the management Of
Clemson. Already a bill has been
passed by the House forbidding nep-
otism on the part of trustees of State
colleges, and Representative Brown
ing's bill providing for a thorough
legislative investigation of the affairs
of Clemson will likely be deemed nec-
essary under the charges brought by
DR.. Nell, although the committee con-
cludes by saying:
1--WE do not think it advisable for
the Legislature 10 take any radical
:tion at this time. as we hope. that
With new set of BYLAWS and a
new president, conditions Will socn
oc vastly improved
The committee consists nf Senator
t. L. Rogers and Representatives E.
w. Duvall and l.. VI. lawson.
The committee ~encws the recon-
mendation of its iasr report that
steps be taken to place the Stale
entirely in control of the institution.
Commenting on the C!cr,soa situa-
tion the committee says:
We find that there has been a
deplorable lack of cooperation be-
tween the trustees and the president
and the commandant 10 the serious
detriment of the institution. The
retiring president feels that the
trustees have usurped his powers and
by interference with the details of
the institution, which are directly the
duties of the president snch as
discipline of cadets, orders T. his
subordinates, taking charge of buv-
ing the books of the library. and
debating the curricu!um--made a
successful administration impossible
for him.

THURSDAY. Jan. 2oth.

The Senate-Senator Clifton sue
eeeded IN getting into the Graydon
injunction bill an amendment doing
away with that portion of the bill
That provides that the application for
injunction may be made before
circuit Judge anywhere in the State.
The effect is to leave the law as it
now stands, practically, it being
provided that the application shall
be before the judge of the circuit or
the Judge who may happen to be in
the circuit at the time or the nearest
Judge in an adjoining county.
The House-The Statewide prohi-
5ition bills were introduced in the
senate and house by Senator Carlisle.
rms years measure has practically
the same provisions as the bill of
last year except the compromise fea-
ture that was last session added in
the senate in reference to the cleo
tlons IN the several counties. There
are several new features, however,
IN the bill introduced. The first Sec
ton provides a prohibition for the
manufacture, sale. ETC., of liquors
Just as was provided in the former
bill, which is in force now in prohi-
bition counties. This section also
provides that wholesale druggists NAV
lawfully sell in wholesale quantities
pure alcohol. The retail druggist Sec
tlon OF the present prohibition law
is inserted in the bill, and the other
medicinal sections of the law. A sec
ton that was probably inspired by
some debate in the senate this wear
is:
THAT nothing in this act shall pre-
vent the sale of wood or denatured
alcohol or the social serving of such
liquors or beverages in private resi-
lenceS IN ordinary social intercourse,
or the manufacture and keeping of
wines made from berries and grapes
Tor domestic purposes onlv.''
A drastic section of the new bill
is that there is no alternative of fine
in case of violation of the law. The
violation section is:
THAT any person who violates
any provisions of this act shall be
guilty of misdemeanor and upon
conviction shall be imprisoned at
lard labor for a period of not less
than three months. nor more than one
year and for the second or subsc
luent otfense. upon conviction there
of. shall be imprisoned AT hard labor
for not less than one year. nor more
Than five years.
The druggists fine is the same as
IS now the case. viz. revoking of
license for one year for each otfense.
The bill concludes: "That nothing
IN this act shall be construed 10 pre-
vent the indictment, prosecution and
conviction of any person who has
been guilty of a violation of any law
aow In force relating to the subject
of alcoholic liquors and beverages
IN this State or who may violate said
law at any time prior to the time
when this act shall take effect or to
affect or abate any indictments, pro-
secutlons or warrants now pending
tor violation thereof
The act. if passed, would take eff
feet April l, 1910. The bill also has
repealino clause.
