MAY REDUCE EXPRESS rATEs.
Express and Freiglit Rates Now be-
ing Considered.

Columbia, Oct 5.--Examination
into the evidence submitted by the
Southern Express Company Is still
going ON at the office of the Railroad
Commission. Pursuant to an order
issued over month ago, General
Manager John B. Hockaday and Su-
perintendent o. NJ. Sadler have sub
mitted very voluminous pile Of
typewriter manuscript, which is
said to contain all the essential facts
in regard to the rates and methods
Of the Southern Express Company.
Mr.. Hockaday has intimated that
his company will not oppose reduc-
ton in the rates now charged, and
1t is the general opinion that the
formal hearing will not be necessary,
and that there will within Il short
time be effected considerable reduc-
ton in express rates.
No date has yet been set for the
hearing Of the arguments in regard
to the proposed standard freight
tariff, which has been asked for on
many of the principal roads of the
State. 1t is thought probable that
the matter Of the express rate reduc-
tions will be settled before the STAN
dard freight tariff matter is gone into
again.

DROPS 700 FEET TO DEATH.
John Blodie Meets Accident at Tifton,
Ga, Fair.

Tifton, Ga, Oct. 5.-Capt. John
Brodie, who does the high-diving act
for an amusement company, fell 700
feet from balloon on the exposition
grounds at SIS this afternoon and
was instantly killed Capt. Brodie
had just finished his high-dive act
and Prof. Gowdy, an aeronaut, was
preparing to ascend. Brodie volun-
teered to take the other balloon for
race. The ascension was a beautiful
one, both balloons cutting loose to-
gether and ascending side by side
only few yards apart, a distance of
between 700 and 1000 feet, when the
gun was fired as a signal for them to
cut loose.
Brodie dropped slightly in advance
OF his fellow. The drop is made al
quadruple parachute He cut loose
the first two safely. Whether the
third became entagled or lack of ex-
perience caused him to bungle will
never be known. The third para
chute failed to fill, and like a shot
from gun, Brodie came 700 feet to
the ground, falling with a crash that
could be heard a quarter Of a mile.
Despite the fate Of his fellow, which
he could not fail to see, Prof. Gowdy,
with wonderful nerve, cut loose his
three parachutes and descended in
safety nearly half mile away.
John Brodie was unmarried and
has mother and sister in Crystal
Lake, Wis. He had been with the
amusement people long time and
his death cast a gloom over the en-
tire company.

CORN MEAL CAUSES pELLAGI,A? /?
Tennessee Health Report Gives Sum-
mary of Dread Disease.

Nashville, Tenn, Oct. 5.-That 95
per cent Of the victims Of pellagra in
Tennessee use corn meal is the report
OF the specialists appointed to in
vestigate the malady in the State.
The report was submitted to the
State Board of Health yesterday.
The report shows that the disease
must have been prevalent in the
State fifteen years ago, although 1t
was not generally known until an
phanage in this city. 1t further
shows that women have within the
past few years proved to be more
susceptible to the disease than men,
as nearly one-half the patients ex-
amined were housewives and two
thirds OF the total number OF pa
tients examined were females. The
married, too, are specially suscepti-
BILE, as 204 patients out of 3l6 cases
are married.
Another interesting fact featured
by the report is that the large ma
jority of the patients examined lived
in poor surroundings. Dug wells
supplied the water that quenched the
thirst Of 1853 of those examined, mos
quitoes and gnats had bitten 223;
269 had used cotton products in
cooking.
The Insect Theory.
Spartanburg, S. c., Oct. 5.-For
the purpose Of Investigating the theo-
ry that pellagra is caused by an in
sect, w. V. King, an entomologist
of the United States department of
agriculture, came to Spartanburg
yesterday and will remain here in
definitely pursuing his researches.
The insect theory was first pro-
posed by DR.. Sambon, Of the London
School of Tropical Medicine, in 1905.
He expressed the belief that the spe-
cies Of fly, commonly known as black
flies, of which the buffalo gnat is the
most familiar local species, carried
parasite which produced pellagra.

BItEAzEAI4E FAMILY REUNION.
Meeting ut Bolton September 30 Was
Largely Attended.
(AndersOn NIail.)

On Saturday, September 30th, at
/ Bolton, a large number Of descend
ants Of Kenon Breazeale, Sr., met
and organized for the purpose Of
holding an annual reunion and per-
petuating the history Of this large
family. There were present at the
meeting over one hundred descend
ants, many Of whom did not know
that several of their friends who were
present were descended from the
same ancestor.
Kenon Breazeale, the senior, lived
in the latter part Of the eighteenth
century and fought in Washington's
army. He moved to South Carolina
from Virginia and raised a large fam
lily. He lived to be more than one
hundred years old. There were nine
children. and estimating the present
descendants, it Is thought that they
will number over two thousand.
The first generation of nine chill
dren Is as follows: Enoch Breazeale,
Peggy Breazeale Major, Griffin Brea-
zeale, Sarah Breazeale Pepper, Will
Hanson BreaZeale, David X. Brea-
zeale, Matthew Breazeale, Aiken
Breazeale, Laura Breazeale Cox.
Each Of the above defendants
raised large families, and to enumer-
ate the children OF each of the above
would occupy too much space.
The organization was perfected as
follows:
John E. Breazcale, chairman; Leon
l.. Rice, secretary; Miss Eva Stringer,
historian.
The following committees were ap-
pointed:
arrangements for next reunion-O. J.
Copeland, chairman; e. T. Breazeale,
Bailey B. Breazeale, Jr., o. X. Poore,
W. K. Stringer.
Committee on publicity-T. J.
Martin, chairman; Leon l.. Rice, o.
l.. Copeland.
Committee on family tree'-Miss
Eva Stringer, eX-officio chairman;
Miss Allie Major, T. J. Martin, o. J.
Copeland, J. w. Eirod, Mrs. Mary NJ.
Kay, Mrs. Tiney Austin.
There will be two additions to this
committee by the chairman later.
The committee on family tree has
In charge the preparation Of a plat
showing the branches Of the family,
and any aid that can be given this
committee in the work will be ap-
preciated.
Any descendants who read this ar
ticle are requested to write to Miss
Eva Stringer at Bolton, S. c., giving
such information as they have in
hand.
The next reunion will be held some
time next summer. Due notice will
be given.

The "Dcfcat" of Taft and Hearst.
{ Montreal Starr

oldI.
Ontario was not set against Que
bee. The opposition wade as dra-
matte gains in Quebec-when the
tremendous magnetic power of Lau-
rier is remembered--as they made in
Ontario. And the maritime prov
inces tell the same story. Hostility
to reciprocity swept the decks in all
directions. Fishermen hurried home
from "the banks" to vote against a
policy which they were expected to
favor, but which they heartily dis
liked because it gave their markets
to their old rivals from Gloucester.
1t was a great national uprising
against an anti-national proposal; !;
and no section nor community can
boast Of it as victory over any
other. Lifelong Liberals went to
the polls against 1t in thousands; !;
and it is poor courtesy and worse
tactics for Conservative papers to
treat it as party victory--as some
Of them are doing
The only defeated parties were the
President Of the United States and
the group about him who planned
this "coup,' and his journalist "evan-
gelist," William Randolph Hearst.

horse over the cotton belt is less than
six bales to the horse. This we state
as certainty, though VIC do not now
