A SANE FOURTH
No Casualties Reported-One Negro
Beaten by White Man

Shreveport experienced sane Fourth
of July No casualties were reported
The rainfall marred the outdoor sport
planned at the Gladstone park. At
night, however, large crowd were at
this park enjoying the musical pro-
gramme.
The only serious occurrence reported
to the police was the beating of negro
by white man. The negro with others
was standing on the sidewalk rejoicing
in the defeat of Jeffries by Johnson. As
this white man passed, the negro applied
vile epithets to Jeffries which the white
man resented. In the roundup the ne
gro was badly beaten. The white man

PAVING SUITS
Trial Continued on a Decree of the
Supreme Court.

The paving suits having for their pur
pose the annuliment of contracts for
street paving were fixed for trial today
before Judge Bell, but on a plaintiff S
writ of prohibition the Supreme Court
had directed that Judge Bell show
cause why the suit should not be con-
tinued as prayed for to the next term
of the court in October Judge Bell is
to make answed on July I8. This Sc
cures a delay of thirteen days from to-
day. 1t is not possible to surmise why
there should be delay since it was gen
orally believed that the complainants
were ready to prosecute the suits. This
broad sense may be taken of the pro-
ceedings: If the allegations of the con-
testants are true they should proceed to
trial; and if not true, then the city
should be relieved of every embarrass-
ment and be permitted to proceed with
the paving contracts.
It would seem that any delay, is TN
necessary if the complainants can main
tain thier plea If there has been fraud
or such irregularities as would vitiate
the contracts, all these should be ex-
hibited and the sooner this is done the
better

such as is calculated to overcome the
bacllwardness. While such drawbacks
as exist have somewhat shaken the be-
lief in big crop, there is actually moth
ing in the situation which makes a big
yield impossible.
The corn crop continues to promise
WELL and from practically all portions
of the South a good corn crop is re
ported. This promise of big yield of
this important cereal is of the utmost
consequence, as it tends to cheaper the
cost of making the cotton crop by re
lieving the farmers of this section from
the necessity of purchasing corn from
the West.

CAUSE OF PELLAGRA
Due to the Bite of Gnat Well Known
in Europe.

New Orleans States If the cases of
Pellagra in the United States were as
numerous as the discoveries of the
cause of the disease, the situation would
be alarming, but fortunately the causes
greatly outnumber the actual cases. An
other and the latest cause has been dis
covered by Dr. Louis Sambon who has
made investigations of pellagra in some
of the most unhealthy regions of the
world, and says it is due to the bite of
a gnat that is we'll known in Europe and
this country as the simulum vorans
If it be true that this insect breeds in
running streams and has the power to
inject the pellagra parasite into the
blood of human beings it will rank in
deadliness with the tseste fly of Africa.
DIR. Sambon announces that his inves-
LEGATIONS have satisfied him that the eat
ing of corn does not cause the disease,
because in many districts where no corn
is eaten at all it has existed for many
years, and, on the contrary, it has never
been found in certain other districts
where corn has been the regular diet
of the people for many generations.
This seems TO be reasonable state
ment, in view of the fact that corn has
been eaten in all sections of this coun-
try for more than two centuries by the
Indians and the whites, and until few
years ago pellagra was an unheard of
disease
1t appears that Dr. Sanlbons theory
was announced FIVE years ago at a meet
ing of the British Medical Association,
but it was not tolerated because of the
general opinion that pellagra was caused
by eating moldy corn. In the event that
the Sambon theory is established it will
revolutionize the attitude of medical
science toward the disease, and here
after the scientists will have to devote
themselves to the study of the gnat and
devise means for its determination or
for the protection against its attack as
they have done in the case of mos
qutoes that breed yellow fever and

WEATHER AND CROPS
Too Much Rain in Some Sections with
Increase of Boil Weevils-The Situa-

New Orleans Picayune July 5: The
weather during the past week has been
somewhat variable in the cotton belt.
On the Atlantic coast there has beer
distinctly too much rain, and as a re
suit there have been complaints Of
grassy fields. In the central belt, while
some localities have reported too much
rain and others an increase in the boil
weevil pest, others have reporfed nearly
ideal conditions, In Texas ther, has
been less rainfall than could have been

GOVERNOR NOEL AND SEN
,ATOR BILBO.

In Sundays Picayune there was pub
lished statement by Governor Noel OF
Mississippi of which the Picayune oi
Monday, July 4, gives its opinion as
follows:
The political situation in Mississippi
has reached state of astonishing inn
propriety and indecency when public
men i'll the highest positions, men who
have been intrusted with important pub
lie responsibilities, can descend to the
scurrility and billingsgate with which
they are assailing each other on the pub
lie hustings in the political campaign
now going on in that State.
BY regretted inadvertence, a sour
rilous screed, alleged to 'embody state
ments made by the Governor of Mis-
sissippi against State Senator Bilbo, of
that State, was printed in Sundays Pic
ayune.
ut is impossible to believe that the
Governor of that great State could de-
scend to such improper utterances in a
public speech or i'll an interview for
publication by the press, and the Plea
yune here condemns any political debate
conducted on so low plane. The mat
ter in question would not have been ad-
mitted to its columns if it had not been
received at late hour and hurried into
type without due inspection"
REPLY FROM BILBO.
I'm a special to the New Orleans
States from Poplarville, Miss, it is an
nounced that State Senator Bilbo has
issued slashing criticism of Governor
Noel, attacking the administration which
he declare shas been a failure. and
challenging him to Join the debate He
also pays his respects i'll similar way
to others whose names have been used
in connection with the alleged legisla-
tive bribery and offering in conclusion
to debate with the Governor, the af-
hrmative of the question: Resolved,
