New York, Nov. 5.-William
Rockefeller, Standard Oil multi-mil-
iOnaire, appeared to-day in the GRIM
inal branch Of the United States Dis
trict Court and entered a plea Of not
guilty to the Indictment charging him
with conspiracy in connection with
his acts as a former director of the
New York, New Haven & Hartford
Railroad Company. He was placed
under 50, 900 bond to insure his ar
pearance for trial.
Mr.. Rockefeller appeared feeble as
he walked from his automobile into
the building and to the elevator. In
a husky whisper, audible hardly 10
feet away, Mr.. Rockefeller said "Not
guilty" after the clerk had asked
him how he desired to plead Judge
Foster stated that Mr.. Rockefeller
would be given until November 90,
the date that has been fixed in the
case of the other defendants, who
have already pleaded. OF the 21

Rev. Rigdon Thankful.

Salem, Nov. 4.-Last Saturday the
good people of Welcome community
and Walhalla mill paid us a visit
which will long be remembered.
Ibere were just 81 in the party, and
.hey had well-filled baskets. The
laDle was spread under the shade Of
he trees in the yard, and after all
sd gathered around appropriate
prayer was led by Rev. II. f. Press
ley, and then each presented his gift,
and all were fine-all good, first
class, serviceable gifts. We were so
oVerjOyed that we could hardly keep
quiet. After supper all went to
Mountain View church to service, and
after the service we began to exam
inc the gifts and found that several
who could not come had sent theirs.
We thank the good people for
their kindness and pray that you may
ever be true to Jesus. May the God
of Peace and Love ever be with you

ANDERsoNIAN AT PETRoGRAD.
Capt. McCully, Naval Attache, Now

(Anderson Mail, 4th.)

Mrs. Carrie McCully has received
a letter from Capt. n. A. McCully,
dated October 1lth at PetrograI, =,
Russia. Another letter was received
from him several days ago, and this
was dated at Irkutsk, Siberia. Fe
stated in this letter that he was pro-
cecding to Petrograd.
Capt. McCully is Uncle Sans ma
val attache with the Russian forces.
He says in his last letter that he cx-
poets to reach the firing lines in
few days, and that he will remain
with the Russians until the war is
ended.
Capt. McCully's health is good and
he is enjoying the experiences at the
front. He had very little to say
about the war; in fact at the time
he wrote he had not seen any ac'uaI
fighting.
Capt. McCully is captain of the

Even If we suppose that the com
conduct the warehouse business in a
manner wholly uninfiuenced by po-
litical considerations, there is no
guaranty that his successors would
be similarly independent and un-
biased.
The merit principle should be in
troduced in the State government
anyway. The people are entitled to
the maximum of service in return for
the wages they pay. That they can
not obtain except by the enforcement
Of the merit system by civil SER
vice commission. 1t would take
away the power of appointment from
politicians and make safe the faith
ful and competent employee in the
place that he had won, not by favor
ism, but by proving his qualifications.
Opposition to the civil service laws
Of the United States is confined to
spoilsmen. No man covets the be-
stowal Of patronage except for his
own aggran dizement; no man objects
to surrendering it unless he is more
solicitous for his private interest
than for the public benefit.
What the people of South Carolina
would be rid of is the mingling of
politics with the administration of
public affairs, resulting in unceasing
waste and inefficiency.
The Warehouse Commissioner, we
suppose, would welcome a law that
would relieve him of the appoint
ment of subordinates and we suppose
that heads of other departments, in
most instances, would doubtless look
upon it in like manner. The only
conceivable objection Of weight that
could be urged against it would be
its cost, and that vanishes when the
tremendous volume Of business and
ultimate cost incidental to cotton
warehouse system is considered. For
the State to enter upon such an en-
terprise without erecting every pos
sible safeguard against its corruption
by politics is to invite disaster at the
start.
How this suggestion is received
will be awaited with interest, as it
will point with practical certainty to
whether the warehouse system is to
be launched as business or a polit-
ical scheme.
A civil service law could and
should be enacted next January.

STILL A DEEP MYSTERY.
Public Health Department Says Pei
lagra Is Not Communicable.
News and COurier.)


The suggestion Of the United
States Public Health Service officers
who have been making special
study of pellagra that the disease Is
not communicable is one that all Of
us will wish to believe. OF course
this is merely an opinion on the part
of these doctors and as vet it is un-
supported with proof
The further theory which the Pub
lie Health Service advances that pei
lagra is probably dependent upon cr-
rors Of diet is one which has all along
been held by many Southern physi-
clans and which has found ready ac-
rcptlDcc among the laity. The Pub
lie Health Bureau contends that "by
using an abundance of fresh milk,
eggs, fresh lean meat, beans and
peas (fresh and dried-not canned)
not only may pellagra be cured when
the disease is not too far advanced,
but prevented"
The finding of the thompson Nc
Fadden Commission made it evident
that this view would find wide sup
port, since 50 per cent of the cases
which came under their observation
occurred among poVerty-stricken
people whose food was poor and
badly prepared and who lived under
bad economic conditions. AS yet,
however, the correctness Of this con-
ception has not been established sci
ontifcally and opposed to it stands
the fact that many Of the victims of
pc!lagra have been people of educa-
tion and means. An article in the
cal Record, written by two California
physicians, states that as regards the
cases Of this disease which have
made their appearance on the Pacific
coast 'the patients were largely
those from the better walks of life,
or at least were persons accustomed
to good food and the hygienic sur
roundings of the middle classes"
The fact is that so far the study Of
pellaSra has been confined to rather
narrow limits. This is not surpris-
ing in view of the fact that it was
not generally recognized in this
country up to ten years ago or less,
leading textbooks on medicine stat
ing that it did not occur in the Uni
ted States. Most OF he research
work which has been done so far in
the effort to discover it's cause has
been done in the Piedmont section OF
the South, whereas II appears that
the disease is now widespread
throughout the land, and that it
manifests itself under conditions
which vary rather sharply. 1t is very
probable, of course. that n person
who is impoverished through lack of
proper nourishment will succumD to
HellaGra more readily than one who
is healthy and vigorous; that is true
as to many other diseases What
the world wants, however. is to learn
definitely how pellagra is caused. Not
until the battling mystery is cleared
should the inquiries be relaxed. In
stead their scope needs to be cx-
tended. If the money is not avai!a-
bic from private sources, it ought to
be provided at the public expense.
