SEEKING CAUSE OF PELLAGRA.
Government Experts at Work in
South Carolina.

Columbia, March 3.-The depart
ment of agriculture is alive to the
study of pellagra in the country. AS
a result of the initial inquiries made
by DR.. Babcock, the department is
pursuing the investigation to deter
mine the cause of pellagra. Mr.. L..
O. Howard, chief of the bureau of
entomology, and Mr.. Hunter, chief
of the department of insects, have
ben directing the inquiries. Mr.. w.
V. King, who came here from the
West, where he had been studying
the relations of the tick to noun
tain fever, has been at work here for
some time. The department has now
sent two experts to this State.
Mr.. King and Mr.. Allan T. Jen-
nings are now in the field. They go
to Newberry, Ninety-SiX, Abbeville
and other points to make inquiries.
Messrs. King and Jennings are max
ing particular Investigations along
the possible effect of animals.
The Sambon theory is that the
sand fly is responsible for pellagra
and the government at Washington is
alive to the dangers of pellagra and
is directing careful studies in the
hope of getting starting point.

SMART GINSENG GROWERS

A dispatch from Lexington says
a well known local firm
which makes a business of buying
and exporting ginseng has been
heavily muicted by shrewd noun
taineers who gather, dry and market
the root. The ginseng is worth 81
per pound, and to make it weigh
heavier the tricky mou1taineers
loaded the roots with lead, and il
was done patiently and so artistic
ally that lead was completely hidden
With the blade of a knife an inclu-
sion was made TO the heart of the
young roots and the lead, rolled into
the thickness Of a telegraph wire,
inserted and cut off to the length of
about half an inch. The root grew
about and over the lead, covering it
completely. More than 100 pounds
Of the loaded ginseng have been
handled in kentucky this season
according TO representative Of the
firm here.

WILSON CARRIES KANSAS
New Jersey Governor Gets State
Thought Safe For Champ Clark

st. Louis, Mo-, March 9.-The
indications are that Champ Clark
has lost Kansas. Wilson is now
leading the Missourian, having 147
delegates TO the Speakers 14l, and
they were selected out of counties
that were confidently relied upon to
give Clark an overwhelming MAORI
~.
Conventions in these counties were
calico early by the Clark men to
stampede kensas TO Clark. But the
loss of a majority Of their own
counties has assured Clark's defeat,
the Wilson men say.
OF the "a counties that have held
conventions Wilson carried is. di-
vided the delegations in three more,
leaving Clark only l3 counties and
n minority of the delegates.
The county conventions of last
Saturday proved severe shock to
the confident Clark men. Up to that
time they had been having things
pretty much their own way. OF Is
county conventions last Saturday
Wilson carried nine. Clark three and
three were divided.
Then it became apparent that the
Clark men had called conventions
in the counties which they were con-
fident of carrying in an effort to
stampede the state. But the STAN
pede failed. The Wilson sentiment
from the rural counties last Satur-
day brought Wilson ahead Of Clark,
and every big county in the state that
was counted friendly TO Clark has
held its convention. The Wilson men
predict that Clark will not have TO
exceed go votes Of the 80 in the
state convention.

HUsT0NvlLLe

BY some inscrutable combination
of confusing complications, the post
office department has manifestly
been nushed into playing favorites
in our mail service, which is not
simply a grievious discrimination
against many patrons of Liberty and
Moreiand Star line, but is dis
grace to the Department.
The best practicable service Is
assumed to be paramount to convent
ence or even profit of officials.
! "D-n the people and their inter-
lists. conflicting with officials is the
sentiment controlling autocrats who
are entTenched or wire-workers who
have the pull.
For wears carriers have supplied
Iiberty 'and Moreland Star line a
morning and afternoon service. and
one Sunday service, the equal to
city service. Letters delivered by
morning carrier could be answered
bv afternoon service. Now delay
of "a hours is inevitable without a
special messenger.
All mail brought by morning car
lier from Moreland TO Hustonville
for distribution along Liberty Star
line is now given Rural 2 carrier for
afternoon distribution. instead of be-
ing handed Star carrier who leaves
Hustonville for Liberty at same time
with rural carrier. Star carrier
could serve his patrons 6 to z hours
earlier than rural carrier now does.
Daily papers Star carrier brings to
Hustonviile for his patrons and
could deliver before S A. NJ, are dis
tributed after . p. N. by rural car
rier.
Rural carrier has also imposed on
him Star carriers afternoon collec-
rions which involves possibility OF
rural carrier not getting matter to
ITustonville in time for Star carrier
to get il to that days mail train.
Postmaster at Hustonville declares
that Rural . has ample volume of
business without a division with Star
lines over which is half its route.
but carrier is too generous to protest
IN consideration of having been per-
mitted. without cause. TO abandon
part of his original patrons and pro-
moters and substitute four more
miles of turnpike Star line. which
imposes on him most of that Star
lines work on which are two daily
carriers with a schedule which nd

Now if there is any politics in this
it is n safe bet that there

for Taft against the only man this
side of China. who feels that he is

Eve can say truthfully, from an
intimate personal knowledge of the
situation, that the people of no dis
trict of the State have been more
ably represented during the present
session of the Legislature than the
people of the Third, and no mepber
Of the Senate has striven harder TO
do what was best for the people of
the entire State than Senator Glenn.
There is a bright future for him, and
if he follows the line which he has al
ready laid out for himself during the
past sixty days service at Frank
fort. there is no doubt that the day
is not far in the future when he will

broader field Of public service"
Now, that's what we call being a
big. broad minded citizen, and we
think that Henry Lawrence de-
serves just as much credit as Seldom
Glenn.
We personally know that every
thing nice he says about Glenn would
have applied just as well in his case,

amenities as this between opponents

the State government. Whenever it
had been found necessary to increase
the States revenue, he said, the as
sessment against land owners had
been raised, but that against cor
porations was left at the old figure.
He declared that railroad compan-
les and other public utilities had been
assessed at only about tenth the
real valuation Of their holdings, and
that the state, as a result, lost from
81 100000 to $1,500,000 annually in
revenue. The State Board of Vaiu-
alton and Assessment, as at present
constituted, has not the authority to
probe into the truth of financial
statements filed with it by public
service corporations as they should
be inquired into, he declared, and
consequently must take the word of
railroad companies and others. He
asserted that there was not railroad
company in Kentucky that was re-
porting its proper mileage and that
not a public service corporation in
the State was paying its just pro-
portion of taxes. Mr.. Hamilton fur
Their said:
81 found that there was at least
0,000,0 900 in the state of Kentucky
that was not bearing its part of the
burden of State Government.
"All of this property was owned
by public utility companies. l found
that there was one Kentucky cor
poration that paid a dividend on
$340, 100000. 1t paid on an assess
ed valuation of seven millions. An
other corporation in this State listed
for taxation one and one half million
dollars, and paid a dividend on fif-
ten million. / found, on examination
of the report of one other railroad
company to the auditor and its
stockholders. that there was a diff
ference Of $40, 900, 900 and by anoth-
Ell railroad company there was a
difference of $S,000,000. l found,
upon investigation of such corpora
tons as had an opportunity to in
vestigate, that the property that es-
capped taxation amounted to millions
of dollars"
And yet the power Of these cor
porations was such that they were
able to force the chosen represen-
tatives of the people of Kentucky
to vote against their best interests
Representative viii Shanks, Of
Lincoln, was i'll at home and not
present to vote on this bill, but we
are mighty glad to note that able
and splendid young son of Garrard,
John NJ. Farra, registered his vote
N its favor.

THE PEOPLE LOSE AGAIN

Under the influence of the most
powerful lobby seen in Frankfort in
years, the House last week defeated
by 81 to % the Public Utilities Com
mission Bill. This measure was de-
signed to force the corporations OF
the state to bear their just proper
ton of the burden Of taxation and
give some relief to the already over
taxed farmers. The bill was cham
pioned by administration leaders and
opposed by Auditor Bosworth and
his adherents who feared it would
deprive them Of some of the patron
age Of their officers.
Representative Elwood Hamilton,
Of Franklin county, who is proving
one Of the ablest leaders in the Gen
eral Assembly, made a powerful
speech. for it and turned the lime
light on the influences desiring its
defeat. His speech made a profound
impression. 1t was an arraignment
that will open the eyes of the tax
payers of the State to the wrongs
that have ben visited upon them by
the tax-dodging corporations, who
every year by differentiation of
their property, deprive the treasury
Of from 100000 to $l,O00,000 of
revenue.
No measure, he said. had ever
been lobbied against more bitterly.
The moment it became noised about
that bill seeking to require cor
porations to be taxed had ben in

those corporations began to flock

measure. He said he had made a

situation and had found that the
farmers and real estate owners Of
the State were paying three-fourths
of the cost attached to maintaining
