peIIaqra In Anderson County.


The prevalence OF pellagra in An
derson county and adjacent counties
Is being given serious consideration.
II corn is the cause, D. A. Gser, a
we'll known business man OF Bolton,
Is OF the opinion that it Is attribut-
able to the Western variety shipped
into this territory. "The continued
prevalence OF pellagra in my section
is causing great deal OF uneasiness," ="
remarked D. A. Geer, prominent
merchant OF Bolton, s c., at the Rem
ert. In my county and several daja-
cent counties the dread disease con
tinues to claim victims, and it seems
that the white people are much Of
tener attacked than the negroes. Most
of those who have succumbed to pei
lagra became insane before death ter
minated their sufferings. Happily
the allment Is not incurable and one
OF our leading physicians recently an
nounced that he had found certain
cure. In the outset | did not attach
any credence to the theory that the
eating OF corn had any connection
with the disease.

SOUTHERN TO BUILD
NEW COMMERCE TRACK

COMMERCE.. Ga. Jan. 26.-Orders
have been issued for the construction
of another sidetrack at this place.
There is already a long sidetrack In the
upper portion OF the town, Immediately
in front of w. D. Mann's store. This
track when built several years ago
was thought would be sufficient for
sidetrack purposes for years and years
to come. But the freight receipts at
this place have doubled and trebled and
quadrupled in the last few years, and
the present sidetrack facilities are en-.
tirely inadequate for the purpose of the
town.
Hence the Southern will shortly be-
gin the construction of another long
sidetrack in the lower end of the town
in front of the residence of Hon. G.
A. Gooding, clerk OF the council. and
extending a considerable distance both
up and down the track from that point.
This sidetrack, 1t is thought. will be
amply sufficient for freight purposes, at
least for the present

ALBANY Is GIVEN
AMERICUS COMPLIMENTS

ALBANY. Ca, Jan. PA spirit of
community fraternity was evidenced q.
meeting of the Americas Board of
Trade this week, when resolutions were
adopted congratuating Albany upon the
fine showing made by this city In the re-
cent census This gives evidence I'M
mistakable that the rivalry between the
cities, so far as Americas is concerned,
is a friendly one. the kind that contrib
utes most to the growth of a section.
This feeling is Deciprocated in Albany,
and the kind words of the Americas
Board Of Trade are sincely appreciated
by local Albany citizens. The resolu-
tions adopted give praise to Albany
Chamber of Commerce for the important
part that Organization has played in the
upbuiIding of Albany, demonstrating
what can be done when the business men
of a city are united and working jealous
ly together.

boycotted at the hotels, refused as a
fare by cab drivers, and is unable to buy

gotta, where he has been forced to take
up his residence. e
DR.. Mendoza was sent to Bogota by
the Panamian government in the hope
Of effecting a reconciliation with the
Colombian government in the boundary
dispute between the two governments.
Government officials themselves. the adj
vices say, are scrupulously polite in
their dealings with DR.. Mendoza, but
have taken no cognizance of the petty
attitude of the populacs.
One of the deputies in the Bogota
house. according to the advices, during
a speech. recommended the arrest of DIR.
Mendoza as a traitor, because he was
one of the men who aided in the sepa-
ration of Panama from Colombia.

changed their minds at the last minute

have not notified the railroad. allowing
the reserved berth to be unoccupied. The
money loss has resulted in the consider
