REGULARS" IN SULLIVlN.
Condemn Action Of Chairman in
Refusing Harmony Proposition.

Bristol Sept. 80 Some Of the most
prominent regular" Democrats Of this
section are strongly condemning the
action Of Chairman w. o. Vertrees in
turning down the harmony proposal OF
the independents in satirical response
to the letter Of Chairman 0. G. Barton.
Ex-Governor John |. Cox has return
ed from Nashville and is being called
upon from all over the State to take
hand in the efforts to harmonic the
factions Of the Democratic party and
effect permanent peace in the State.
Many regulars" here are in favor Of
peace, believing that the proposition Of
the independents should have been ac-
cepted by Chairman Vertrees. Repre-
sentative Worley, of this county, a
member OF the State Democratic Execu-
tive Committee, and Ex-Governor Cox
are both outspoken in their advocacy Of
a direct primary, which was provision
Of the peace proposition Of the inde-

REPORT ON PELLAGRA.
Dr.. Krauss Finds -Four Cases of the
Disease in Memphis.

I
DR.. William Krauss, chairman Of the
State Pellagra Commission, is preparing
theA Aleport of his investigations, which
will be submitted to the State Board OF
Health at the meeting in Nashville next
week It is probable that the pellagra
commission, which was created Aug. i,
viii ask for additional time, as only cur
sorry examinations have been made Of
TIE field, though particular attention
has been paid to individual cases.
Meanwhile DR.. Krauss is continuing
his investigations. He reports the dis
covery Of pellagra in Shelby County last
week, the case being observed beyond
Bolton College One case was observed
fully developed in a woman whose little
baby was in very healthful condition,
just the opposite from case observed
in Montgomery County. where case
was found in nursing of six months,
while the mother was apparently in
normal state Of health.
Fournew cases were observed in Mem
phis last week. Most Of these cases
were fully developed, though none was
in the violent stage. Cases have also
been found in other communities, where
no report of its existence has ever been
made. When DIR. Krauss went to Crock
EFT County he was informed that there
was no pellagra there. He found two
pellagra patients in one afternoon.
This week will be spent in the field
He will be at Brownsville and address
the physicians there Tuesday; Wednes-
day be will be at Huntingdon; Thurs
day at Cpvington; Friday at Union City |
and Dyersburg, and Saturday he will
be at Somerville. AT each of these
places DIR. Krauss will address the
county medical societies, and make such |
as he can find time for.
AT the conclusion of this week s work
Dr.. Krauss will have visited every coun-
y in West Tennessee. His investiga-
ious have also included five counties in
Middle Tennessee. If the physicians
ire not acquainted with what we are
rying to do, (" he says, then it is be-
.ause they have not attended the county
meetings. The State Board of Health,
is well as the Pellagra Commission, has
elied largely upon the support Of the
in arriving at some definite
concerning the disease.
One thing, however, is settled, I"
tates Dir. Krauss. When the first
ymptoms begin to manifest themselves
he best thing to do is TO consult ply
ician. Above all things, the patient
hould steer clear of calomel, and he
hould Immediately put himself upon
liquid diet. If this is done the dis
ase will not manifest itself so violent

the prisoners violently objected to the

Another set forth as fact substantiated
on the testimony Of Sunday School

of convicts were severely whipped with

1t is intolerabIe to think that convict

mess Of greens, unless, of course,
the said greens combined iimson weeds

to sustain that view Of the matter.
AS to the Sunday school matter, there
is nothing in the constitution compell-

MICROSCOPIC MESSAGES.
How a Single Pigeon Might Carry q

For more than 1000 years carrier
pigeons have been used to carry mes.
sages when no other means sulllced,
and during the siege OF Paris, when
BOB birds were sent out from the doom
ed city, one of the birds performed the
almost incredible feat Of carrying to
the outside world on one trip no less
than 10000 messages averaging twenty
words each. This was 100000 words.
or the equivalent Of five or six average
novels.
This marvel was accomplished by
means of microscopic photography, the
messages being first printed with ordi,
nary type and then photographed and
rephotographed until they had been
reduced several hundred diameters.
The final photographs were, taken on
films or pelllcles Of collodion. each Of
which, about two inches square, con.
tanned 10000 words. dozen Of these
films, rolled up in quill, weighed but
one twenty eighth of an ounce. The
messages could, of course, be read
with n microscope without the neces-
sity Of ephotographlng and enlarging.
Under favorable conditions and for
comparatively short distances pigeons
have carried as much as three-quar.
tiers Of an ounce. Using the photo re
duction method, it would therefore bn
possible for single bird to carry

Matilda Stanley was accorded an al

queens have received all due honor.
