Saturday night presented some ex-
citing scenes for the new men at
Trinity College. II was the occa-
sion OF the first meeting OF the two
literary societies and the advocates
OF each organization were exceed
ingly jealous in their efforts to corral
men into the halls Of their respective
societies. The societies are some
what handicapped this year in their
canvass for new members on account
OF the fact that they have no regular
places OF meeting ready for occu-
pancy, the halls which once shell
tered them having been destroyed in
the fire OF last January. But they
can show great promise for the flu
ture, for the new halls, to be located
in the new administration building
that Is being constructed, will be the
equals II not the superiors of any
society halls in the south. They are
to be in the two end sections Of the
building. and will be equipped with
galleries for the convenience OF Wis
itors and also several committee
rooms for the use OF the members in
transacting business.

RATS CAUSE OF PELLAGRA {?
Spartanburg Farmer Believes His
Theory Solves Problem.

Spartanburg, Dec. 16.--M. o.
Westbrook, Of this county, has dis
covered what he firmly believes to
be the source of pellagra, and has
submitted his findings to govern
ment and State physicians and de-
partments of surgery. In a state
ment issued to the press Mr.. West
brook says:
The rat, in deadly combat and
struggle, emits poisonous gas,
fume, film or slime which is invisible,
| or semi-visible, and which infests the
surrounding food, or drink, with bac-
terra, forming poison, and, therefore,
Is the source Of pellagra and tubercu-
losis
Mr.. Westbrook Is certain that his
theory concerning the causes Of the
| disease Is correct, and quotes the fol-
lowing experiment conducted by him
self to prove that the rat is the cause
of the malady:
Place considerable quantity of
crackers, candy, sliced potatoes or
similar tempting food in good wire
rat trap, and when a rodent is cap
tured irritate him with a blunt in
strument for several moments. Then
kill the rat and allow the food to
remain in the trap alone with the
corpse of the assassinated rat for
twenty hours or more. The temper
ature Of the dead rat and the food
should be kept at 80 degrees. This
having been completed, grow bacte-
ria from the food.
Mr.. Westbrook himself tried this
, experiment and when the infested
food was analyzed by chemists it
| was found to contain the germ that
| causes pellagra and tuberculosis.
! The experiments were conducted by
Mr.. Westbrook and Dr. ]. Berry
Smith, Of Charlotte, N. C.
The originator OF this theory,
Mr.. Westbrook, is farmer of Spar
tanburg county, and has never stud
led medicine. He stated that it had
| frequently occurred to him that rats
were the real cause OF this disease,
and led him to make the experiments
that convinced him beyond the shad-
ow Of a doubt.
He was most reluctant about maxi
Ing known his discovery. Mr.. West
brook fears that when the public
becomes aware Of his discovery that
there will be an epidemic, not of
pellagra, but Of murders. He said
that one may kill another by thus
infesting the food and it will take
| probably months for the germs to
develop sufficiently to make known
its presence

Negro Hanged in Opera House.

Jackson, Ga, Dec. 14.-Will Tur-
ner, negro preacher, was hanged in
Kings opera house here to-day for
killing Jesse Singley, near Indian
Springs, Ga, August 26. The hang
ing was to have taken place in the
jail yard, but fear of large crowd
which might attempt race trouble
caused the change in plans. Only n
few newspaper men and officers AMI
relatives Of the man were present.
Singley, a young white man, was
ambushed after trying to settle some
trouble between hotel bell boys, in
which Turner's two sons were impli-
Gated. Race trouble was narrowly
averted at that time.
The negro confessed to the muir
der Wednesday afternoon, saying he
fired all Of the shots and denied his
boys were guilty. In statement
just before being taken from the Jail
to the place Of execution, Turner
warned the members Of his race
against whiskey drinking. He was
cool and collected to the last.
