While pellagra has been recognized
for several hundred years, 1t Is still
one OF the most battling diseases with
which the medical profession deals.
The public health service has been
struggling hard with investigat tons OF
the disease since its discovery in this

the alarming extent to which 1t has
spread has brought a food Of appeal

has led to determination to urge
congress to act quickly.

In some Of its phases pellagra re-

it is even more to be dreaded than lep-

frequently affects the mental organism
and leaves its victims insane.
One physician. In reporting condi-
tons in his locality. recently said:
Calling it 'peIlagra,' the public does
not know the nature OF the malady
and gives very little heed to its great
menace. but were we to speak OF It
az leprosy the whole country would
be crying out In wild alarm. And, so
far as the public menace goes, we are
not yet justified. in saying that it Is
not just az great dread as leprosy

GEORGIA BANKERS ENDORSE
ST. LOUIS COTTON PLAN
This States Part VIII BE to Raise
$4,000, 600 of $3.50, 900. 900.

ATLANTA.-Georgia bankers, in
session at the Atlanta chamber of
commerce, have endorsed the St.
Louis cotton loan plan and directed
the officers of the Georgia Bankers
Association to inform every bank in
the state just what its pro rata share
of Georgia's subscription will be. The
St. Louis plan is to raise $150,000,-
600 to be loaned for twelve months
on cotton at seven per cent on ba-
sis of six cents per pound on mid
ding. One-third of this is TO be
subscribed by banks in the cotton
states and the rest the other sections
of the country, Georgia's share of
the pool is $9,90O,8O0, and Atlanta
banks will put up $3,5OO,00O of this.
Each Southern bank is to receive So
for every dollar it subscribes, so that
if it gives $4,000 to the pool it will
have $4,000 available to loan on
cotton.

SLATON STANDS FIRM
WON'T CALL LEGISLATURE TO
CONSIDER COTTON SITUATION.
Under Constitution Nothing Can Be
Done, and Tax and Jail Enact
ments Would Be UnwelcOme.

ATLANTA.-All likelihood of an
extraordinary session of the legisla-
ture to deal with the cotton problem
has been eliminated by the announce
ment of Governor Slaton that he will
not call it together for that purpose.
The majority of the requests
which came to Governor Slaton ask
ing for an extra session of the legis-
Iature on the ground of the cotton
crisis in Georgia and the South sug-
gests the enactment of a law which
would enforce the curtailment of the
cotton crop in 1915. Governor Sla-
ton took the view that a law MAX
ing the farmer who happened to
overstep the legal limit subject to
iail or changing sentence would be
unwelcome enactNent to the farm
ers of the state and one bordering on
the intolerable.
Governor Slaton stated that as
lawyer he could not conscientiously
recommend the enactment of such a
law and that he dared not do so as
governor. He points out that the at
tornev general of the state. has adj
vised him that the plans of curtail-
ment by prohibitive taxation or pc
nal statute are unconstitutional and
would therefore be a violation or
Georgia's fundamental law.
One of the main difficulties in the
way, even if the proposed law could
be held valid under the Georgia con-
stitution, is the probability that few,
if any. Of the other cotton states
would adopt the same measure. Lack
of uniformity in action, it is beliey-
ed, would tend more to the failure
than the success of the entire plan
With regard to the cotton situa-
ton, therefore. it may be said that
Governor slaton has gwen his final
answer so far as an extraordinary
session of the legislature is con-
cerned.

DENY FRANK new TRIAL
ENTIRE SUPREME COURT BENCH
CONCURS IN THE DECISION.
His Lawyers May Carry the Appeal
to United States Supreme Court.
Franks Fifth Attempt.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Leo NJ. Frank,
under sentence of death for the muir
der here in April, 1913, of Mary
Phagan, an employe of the pencil
factory. of which Frank was super
intendent, today was denied a new
trial by the Georgia supreme court.
This was Franks fifth attempt to OBJ
tain a retrial or annulment of the
verdict which was returned August
25th last year. He still has pending
before the state supreme court an
appeal from the lower courts denial
of a motion TO set aside the verdict
on the ground that he was not in the
court room when it was returned.
Decision Unanimous.
The decision of the supreme court
today. in which the full bench con-
Cured. was on Franks appeal from
the decision of the Fulton county
superior court denying his extraord1-
nary motion for a new trial on the
grounds of newly discovered evil
dence. The court sustained the rul-
ing of the lower court that the new
evidence was not sufficient to war
rant a rehearing.
Franks appeal on the motion to
set aside the verdict is expected to
be argued before the supreme court
late this month. Should the state
court deny the melton Franks law
yers may carry the appeal to the
United States supreme court, as, it
is said, a constitutional point is in
volved.

PINK BOIL WORM
IS LATEST NENANCE
EGYPTIAN COTTON ENEMY HAS
APPEARED IN FLORIDA NEAR
THE GEORGIA LINE.
DESTRUCTIVE AS THE WEEWL
State EntOmOlOgist Worsham Has
Joined Representative of Depart
ment of Agriculture on Trip
There to Make Investigation.

Joined Representative of DepaFt-
ment of Agriculture on a Trip
There to Make Investigation.
ATLANTA, Ga.--An enemy to cot
ton almost, if not quite as danger
Gus as the boil weevil has just made
its first actual appearance in south
ern cotton field.
This pest, known as the pink boli
worm and evidently brought here
from Egypt, has made its first APP
pearance in a southern cotton field
near Madison, Fla, according to
State Entomologist e. l.. Worsham,
who left Atlanta Tuesday night for
that place, where he met DR.. W. D.
Pierce, of the United States bureau
Of entomology for the purpose Of
investigating the matter and decid-
ing what steps should be taken to
control it,
Before leaving the city Mr. Wor-
sham said that unless the ravages of
the pink boil worm are controlled
Immediately it is liable to spread
and cause even more serious damage
than any of the pests which have yet
attacked the southern cotton crop.
Mr.. Worsham was evidently alarmed
over the reports coming from Mad
ison.
When this pest gets into crop,
Mr. Worsham said, it destroys fully
one-half of it, and while it does not
spread in the same persistent manner
as does the boil weevil it's actual de-
struction is more extensive.
May Declare Quarantine.
Information was received only on
Tuesday that the pink boil worm
had been discovered in a forty-three
acre tract of cotton near Madison,
Fla, and as soon as 1t was commune
Gated to Washington a representative
was ordered there at once. On ac-
count of the proximity to Georgia
Mr.. Worsham considered it impera-
tive that he go and look into condi-
lions in this cotton field.
If the facts turn out as reported
it is said it may be necessary for the
protection of Georgia to declare
quarantine against Florida cotton
seed and to prohibit any shipments
of seed into this state.
The pink boil worm, it is said, evil.
IDENTIFY came into this country from
Egypt. 1t has been brought in from
time to time in Egyptian seed, but
has been prevented from getting into
the cotton fields by the burning OF
the infected seed, which always come
in under strict quarantine reg
ulations 1t has also been known to
come in seed found in bales of
Egyptian cotton. The Egyptians use
rolling gins, as a result of which
sometimes several hundred seed es-
cape and are packed in a bale. The
larva of the pink boil worm is found
in the seed, but up to date stringent
observance of the quarantine regula-
lions has prevented it from getting
into any of the cotton fields of the
South.
Another serious problem in con-
nection with it's appearance is that it
attacks other plants than cotton. The
larvae live in the seed for seven
months. and may be rapidly spread
by seed shipments. This pest was
discovered in India in 1843. and is
found now in all cotton growing
countries in the Orient and in Africa.
