PELLAGRA SURVEY.
Board of Health to Look Over South
Carolina Situation.

In view of the alarming increase in
pellagra in the last year in South
Carolina, the state board of health is
planning a complete survey of the
state, to take place in the first part
of August. DR.. James A. Hayne,
state health officer, is in receipt daily
of letters from all parts of the state
describing outbreaks of the disease in
new towns and communities, where
it was hitherto unknown.
There are in South Carolina at the
present time 5000 cases of pellagra.
OF these, almost 600 are in the coun-
ty Of Spartanburg. The death rate
from pellagra is unusually high,
eight dying out of every 100 attacked.
as compared with death rate Of SIX
out of every 100 of typhoid fever.
DR.. Hayne was notified Tuesday
morning of family of six in Chester
field, all OF whom had pellagra. A
fact that has become more apparent
recently in respect to the disease is
that where one in a family has it the
rest of the family sooner or later get

PLANNING FOR PEACE
CARRANZA EXPECTS TO MARCH
INTO MEXICAN CAPITAL.
First Chief Says Substitution Of Car
bajaI for Huerta Does Not Take
Away Demand for Reforms.

Fighting and bloodshed are at an
end in Mexico, if the plans announc-
ed Thursday by Gen. Venustiano Car
rama, first chief of the Constitution
alist army, go into effect. Gen. Car
rama declared his main object now
would be to conduct negotiations for
the Constitutionalists to enter Mexico
City and establish their government
without further disorder, shedding OF
blood or damage to property.
How these negotiations would be
arranged Carranza declared he had
not yet determined. He was unable
to say at this time whether they
would be conducted through the med
iators or direct with the Federals.
Unconditional surrender, however
will be the only condition on which
the negotiations will be successful.
Carranza declared that the "re-
forms for which the Constitutional
lists fought must be obtained at what
ever cost. "The resignation OF
Huerta and the substitution Of Car
bajal in itself will not cause the Con-
stitutionalists to compromise on
single point, the principles upon
which the movement was founded, "
said Gen. Carranza.
eff the government machinery
which through those ends may be
obtained is not surrendered volun-
tarily by the party of Huerta, they
will be obtained by force"
Because of the effort to make the
installation of the Constitutionalists
peaceful one, Gen. Caranza said 1t
would probably be month before he
entered Mexico City. He stated that
he did not believe that Carbajal was
strong enough to handle effectively
the reins of power passed over to him
by Huerta-
Gen. CarranZa reiterated, however,
that the Constitutionalists would ac-
cept nothing short of complete sur
render. In a statement the first chief
declared:
"Undoubtedly the first move of the
successor of the usurper Huerta will
be to open negotiations with the Con-
stitutionalists for a complete surren-
der. This is the logical deduction of
the action he will take. Nothing less
than a complete surrender will sat
isfy the Constitutionalists. However,
if Carbajal fails to take this measure
to bring about peace in Mexico, we
shall continue to fight our way to
victory, which already is assured. We
are fighting for justice for the Mexl-
can people and are certain our efforts
will be crowned with success. A
quick victory by the advance of our
troops is certainty if it does not
come through unconditional surren-
der"

CALLS BLEAN DOWN
COLUMBIA DOCTOR SAYS RICHEY
FEIGNED PARALYSIS.
DIR. James III. Mcintosh Says Neither
DIR. Knowlton or Himself Recon-
mended the Release Of Richey.

DR.. James H. Mcintosh, a well
known physician Of Columbia Thurs
day morning issued an emphatic de-
nial of the statement made by Gov.
Cole L. Blease on Tuesday at Able
vile that he had made a report or
the condition of R. A. Richey, con-
vict in the penitentiary from Able
Vile county, convicted Of raping his
adopted daughter, 10 the effect that
Richey was a paralytic and that his
condition would improve If released
from confinement. which report the
governor used as the justification for
later pardoning Richey. DR.. Mcln-
tosh said that, on the contrary, he,
with the late DR.. q. B. Knowlton, of
Columbia, had examined Richey and
had found that he was "feigning'
paralysis and had so informed the
governor.
DR.. Mcintosh said that he,. together
with DR.. Knowlton, had been notified
by the governor that they had been
appointed a committee Of two to in
vestigate the condition Of R. A.
Richey of Abbeville, then at the State
penitentiary. This he and DR.. KnoWl-
ton had done and had found. after a
thorough examination Of Richey, that
he was feigning paralysis and had so
informed the governor in a written
statement signed both by himself and
DR.. Knowlton.
DR.. Knowlton, prominent pbysi-
clan of the city and of the State,
died on last Sunday in Columbia after
a prolonged illness, three days before
the statement made in Abbeville by
Gov. Blease. The following is a re-
print of the report of the section OF
Gov. Blease's speech made at Able
Vile, in which he made reference to
the Richey case, as it appeared in The
Columbia Record:
s"The chief executive, saying that a
number of lies had been circulated
about the R. A. Richey case, stated
that he was not explaining or apollo
gizing for his record, but he desired
to show up the lies.
"The governor read number OF
reports from reputable physicians,
among whom are DR.. James McIn-
tosh and others, that Richey is par
alytic and his condition would i'm
prove if released from confinement. :"
The following is the written state
ment of Dr.~McIntosh, furnished re-
porter for The Record:
"It is true that I was appointed on
a committee by the governor to ex-
anime R. A. Richey. 1t is also true
that with the late DR.. A. B. Knowl-
ON 1 did go to the penitentiary and
make such an examination, But it is
not true that the report of the said
committee signed by DR.. Knowlton
and myself in any way recommended
a pardon or parole Of the said r. A.
Richey. The fact being that both Drs.
Knowlton and fully agreed that his
paralysis was feigned."

PLANS SANITARIUM.
Drs. Babcock and Saunders Making
Preparations in Columbia.

Preparations in Columbia.
J. W. Babcock, M. D., former su-
perintendent OF the State Hospital for
the Insane, announced Thursday that
work had begun on the construction
of his private sanitarium, which will
represent an ultimate outlay Of ap-
proximately 100000.
The new hospital is located on the
Camden road, two and one-half miles
from Columbia. One building has
been completed on the site for the
accommodation Of several patients
and work is to begin next week on a
building, which will contains rooms
for "a patients.
'eFor the present the new sani-
tarium," said DR.. Babcock, will be
called the Waverley Sanitarium. I
have purchased 81 acres Of land for
$4,000 and it is my purpose to even
tually build one OF the most modern
institutions in the South" Eleanora
B. Saunders, M. D., former assistant
physician at the asylum, is associated
with DR.. Babcock.

ATTRACTIVENESS PAYS.
BY Cooperation Transformation Can
be Obtained in Any Town.

If a single merchant in this town
were to adopt the permanent policy
of making his store attractive in all
possible ways he undoubtedly could
hold the best trade Of his town in
the face of competition of every other
kind.
What is true of the individual
merchants is true Of the entire vii
lage. All it needs to hold it's trade
and its population is to be attractive.
Attractiveness is Of many kinds
and is composed Of many elements.
Good roads, clean streets, low prices
and high quality will attract to and
generally hold trade for a village.
But shaded streets we'll sprinkled,
green lawns closely cropped, neatly
painted and well-kept houses and
out-buildings reflect diligence and
prosperity that are almost as per.
suasive as some Of the more tangi-
BILE and material appeals Of cost and
quality.
One may imagine, for example,
what a. transformation could be ef-
fected in this town if every window
on it's business streets were occupied
by a flower box filed with beautiful
Towering plants. Yet the thought
need not remain wholly imaginative;
for at a comparatively small cost to
each individual merchant such a
transformation could be effected.
Many Of the largest stores and hotels
of the great cities have decorated
their windows in this way.
An example thus set by the mer-
chants doubtless would be followed
by many citizens in the decorating
of their residences, and in few
years our village would become
known far and wide for the beauty
of its homes and places Of business.

MUST PROTECT SECRETS
GOVERNMENT ARRESTS AVIATOR
FOR TAKING PICTURES.
Photographs Published in Western
Magazine Showing Defenses Of
Canal Causes Trouble.

Warrants for the arrest of Chas.
K. Field, editor Of the Sunset maga-
zine; Robert ]. Fowler, an aviator;
Riley A. Scott, writer, and Ray A.
Duhem, photographer, were issued
Friday at the request Of John W.
Preston, United States attorney at
San Francisco. The charge against
all four is the disclosure of military
secrets. The penalty is ten years
imprisonment or a $4,000 fine for
such disclosure If made abroad, and
one year, or a $1,000 fine, if made
in the United States.
In April Sunset published an arti-
Gle entitled "Can the Panama Canal
be Destroyed from the Air?" Re-
productions Of photographs taken
from an aeroplane and showing
some Of the Notifications Of the canal
zone and the San Francisco presidio
accompanied the text. As soon as a
copy OF the number was called to the
attention Of the war department it
requested Preston to Investigate.
Field, Fowler, Duhem and Scott
were served with the warrants and
taken before United States Commis-
sioner Francis Krull. They were re-
leased on their own recognition. At
a special session Of the Federal
grand jury the government will pre-
sent its evidence and ask for indict-
ments. The editorial comment of
the magazine on one Of the photos,
against which the war department
particularly complained, was as fol-
|lcws:
t'This is one of the most significant
photos ever published in this coun-
try. Below the aeroplane from which
the picture was taken lie the Naos
Islands, in the Bay Of Panama, on
which the United States government
is mounting batteries Of the heaviest
artillery in the world to protect the
Pacific approach Of the Panama canal
"OE the island, almost directly un-
der the aeroDlane, can be seen the
empIssement for the most powerful
weapsn ever constructed, the first
sixtean-inch disappearing gun, which
has IN effective range Of about twelve
mii&a.
'Esre is the significance of the
phote: The aeroplane might have
come in time of war from a battle
ship cut of range Of the big gun,
flying safe height and carrying five
hundred pounds of high explosives
instead of camera. Would not the
big gun be helpless against such
foe?"
The editor described the circum-
stance in which the photo was taken
and who took it, adding: Shortly
afterwards President Wilson issued
an executive order forbidding such
flights under heavy penalty. The
photos made on this fight probably
are the only pictures that ever will
be taken of the canal from the air,
except for purposes Of war;

WILL SEPERATE FIGURES
Long Staple to Have It's Own Govern
ment Cotton Report.

Chairman Lever of the house com
mittee on agriculture Tuesday held a
conference with Secretary Houston
and Mr.. Estabrook, chief of the bu-
reau OF statistics for that department
as a result of which the bureau OF
statistics hereafter will in its average
and condition reports and its estimate
of the final yield of cotton show the
acre age, condition and final yield Of
upland long staple and ordinary CO..
ton separately.
The census bureau is already re-
porting separately on upland long
staple cotton and has been doing so
for several years at the request of
Representative Lever. It is thought
that the department of agriculture
likewise report separately, and it has
been agreed that this shall be done.

as cowardly liar, for saying that after
the governors defeat in the primary,
he would go into the general election.
This, the governor said, was a lie, as
he had pledged to abide by the re-
suit of the Democratic primary.
Gov. Blease made his characteristic
plea for racial prejudices and put on
exhibit again the catalogue of Bene-
dict college, in which is picture Of
the faculty with white members.

abuse, and Senator Smith again &C

BRYAN FOR SUFFRAGE
SECRETARY OF STATE WOULD
GIVE WOMEN VOTE.
Comes Out UnequfvocaIly for Giving
Franchise to Those Who Protect
Their Children.

Their Children.
Secretary Bryan in formal state
ment Thursday came out for woman
suffrage. He declared he would ask
no political right for himself he was
not willing to grant his wife, and
announced he would support the pro-
posed State constitutional amendment
extending the franchise to women tc
be voted on in Nebraska next Novem-
Der.
Woman, Mr.. Bryan said, had prov
ed herself equal to every response
bility imposed on her, and would not
fail society in this emergency. Above
all other engagements for giving her
the ballot he placed ''the right OF the
mother to a voice in the molding OF
the environment of her children.
"The mother" the secretary said,
"can justly claim the right to employ
every effective weapon for the pro-
lection Of those whose interests she
guards, but the ballot will put within
her reach all the instrumentalities OF
government, including the police
power"
GAS man and woman are cotenants
of the EARTH" the statement says,
.tand must work out their destiny to-
gether, the presumption is on the
side of equality for treatment in all
that pertains to their Joint life and
its opportunities. The burden OF
proof is on those who claim for one
an advantage over the other in deter
mining conditions under which both
shall live. Objections raised to wo-
man suffrage appear to me to be in
valid, while the arguments advanced
in support of the proposition in my
judgment are convincing.
1.-The first objection remember to
have heard was that as woman can
not bear arms she should not have a
voice in deciding questions that might
lead to war or in enactment of laws
that might require an army officer to
enforce. This argument is seldom
offered now, for as civilization ad-
vances laws are obeyed because they
are an expression of public opinion.
As we look back over the past, we
may well wonder whether the peace
movement would not have grown
more rapidly had women been con-
suited before hostilities began.
Second, some urge that woman's
life already is full of care and that
the addition Of suffrage rather would
overburden her or turn her attention
away from home duties. The answer
made is that the exercise Of the fran
chise might result in change of
thought and occupation that would
relieve the monotony of woman's
work. Surely the home will not suf-
fer if the mother, the child's first
teacher, is able to intelligently dis
cuss with her family the science Of:
government and the art Of success.
fully administering it.
Third, many we'll meaning men
and women affirm that suffrage
would work a harm to woman by les
soning the respect in which she is
held. This argument would have
more weight had it not been employ
e dagainst every proposition advanc-
ed in favor of the enlargement OF
woman's sphere This objection once
was raised to the higher education of
woman, but it no longer is heard.
These objections, however honest
ly advanced, have proven impotent
to retard woman's progress"
