MEETING TO DISCUSS PEACE.
Jordan Tells Wilson Of Plans for Con.
ference to Hasten End of War.

Washington, Nov. 12-David Starr
Jordan, president of Leland Stamford
university and head of the Interna-
tlonal Peace congress recently held in
San Francisco, told President Wilson
today that a Quasi-official meeting of
neutral nations probably will be
held some time before Christmas
either at The Hague, Berne or Co.
penhagen to attempt to bring about
peace in Europe
DR.. Jordan conveyed to the presi-
dent u resolution from the Peace con-
gress urging him to cooperate with
other neutrals in calling such a con-
ference.
He said peace advocates had
learned from unoffician sources i'm
Holland, Sweden, Switzerland, Dem
mark and Spain that those countries
would be glad to take part in any
movement to further the cause of
peace.
i' ooi odll SdIu ITldC an unOfflCl2l
meeting of peace adv COATES at Berne
December II at which plaLs for
bringing about peace will be dis
cussed would be attended BY people
from the United States.
He did not reveal what President
Wilson said to him but the president
several times has taken the position
that he will be glad to do anything
of practical nature to end the war.
DR.. Jordan told the president peace
advocates constantly were in touch
with people in the warning countries
and that there were organizations ac-
lively at work in all parts of the civil
lized world bringing pressure to bear
to end the war. Ultimately, he said,
those efforts were certain to be sue
Cessful
The Christmas season is the natu-
raj time to talk peace. Dr. Jordan de-
clarcd, and therefore he is expecting
the plans Of peace advocates to ta,,e
definite form about that time.

CAUSE AND CURE OF PELLAGRA
GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCES THAT
UNBALANCED DIET CAUSES
DISEASE AND BALANCED
DIET WILL CURE 1T.
by Knowing These Facts Scourgc of
South May be acknowledgment
ments Made on COnvicts Have Con-
firmed Opinion That Has Existed
for Some Time.

Washington, Nov. 11.-Discovery of
the cause and cure for pellagra was
announced formally tonight by the
public health service. The an
nouncement follows the recent publi-
cation Of a report by Surgeon Joseph
Goldberger on year of experiments
In cooperation with Southern States
health officers demonstrating the
correctness of the theory that one
sided diet lacking in proteids would
cause the disease and that a we'll
balanced diet would cure it.
THE spread OF this dread malady,
which has been increasing in the
United States at a terrific rate dur
ing the past years, may now be
checked and eventually eradicated."
says the service statement. 1T is
estimated that $4,000 cases of the
disease will have occurred in the
United States in 1915 and Of this
number at least $500 will have died
before the end of the year. In many
sections only tuberculosis and pneu-
monia exceed ii as a cause Of DEATH"
The final dietary tests were made
by Surgeon Goldberger and Assistant
Surgeon G.. A. Wheeler at the farm Of
the Mississippi penitentiary where
half a dozen of IL convicts were
given pellagara by feeding them for
five months on bountiful meals con-
sisting chiefly Of cereals and sweets
and lacking In meats, milk, eggs,
beans and peas The victims recent
ly were pardoned by the governor
and are being restored to health
through a corrected diet.
Although the occurrence Of ner-
vous symptoms and CASTRO intestinal
disturbances was noted early" says
the service statement, '1t was not un-
til September IL or about five months
after the beginning of the restricted
diet that the skin symptoms so char
acteristic of pellagra began to de-
'OioP' Inc COuNlCtS upon whom the
experiment was made were kept ,,n-
der continuous medical surveillance.
No cases Of pellagra developed in
camp excepting among those men
who were on the restricted diet. The
experimenters have. therefore, drawn
the conclusion that pellagra has been
caused in at least six Of the II VOL
unteers as a result of the one sided
diet on which they subsisted.
"On the basis Of this discovery the
States of Mississippi. Louisiana and
Florida have laid their propaganda
through their respective boards Of
health for the eradication of tho DIS
ease.
In earlier experiments about 900
patients had been cured by balanced
rations and at the end Of a year there
had been a slight recurrence Of the
disease in only one instance"

TO HELP FARMERS.
Cotton Breeding Expert Transfers
Headquarters From Clemson Col
legc to Florence

SOtCon brceOlnS Expert transfers
Headquarters From Clemson Col
legc to Florence.
McLendOn, cotton breeding expert for
Clemson college and the government,
has moved his headquarters to Flor
ence from which place he will con-
tinue to direct the cotton breeding
work in this State.
For the present his work consists
principally of the breeding and dis
tributing of wiltresistant cotton seed
and since Florence is near the wilt
infected section of the State it is be-
lieved that the work can be best di-
rected from that point.
An office and laboratory are being
equipped for the cotton breeding work
in this State and Mr.. McLendon ex-
poets to be in better position than ever
before to serve the farmers who are
suffering losses from this serious cot
ton pest. ID"
IhlS WORK has long since passed the
experimental stage and it is annually
saving thousands of dollars for the
farmers. A large supply Of pedigreed
wiltresistant seed is being harvested
and Mr.. McLendon IS now in position
to help the farmers secure their plant
ing seed to be used on wilt infected
land next season.
Mr.. McLendon is a graduate of
Clemson college and since 1908 he
has devoted most of his me to cot
ton breeding. He is an expert in his
line of work and farmers interested in
improving their cotton through breed
ing operations may v'rite him for in
formation and suggestions.

ARBITRATION Law NEEDED,
GOVERNOR STUDIES PIEDMONT
TEXTILE STRIKES.
Chief Executive Warns "Both Sides,
Against ViOlence-Is Hopeful of
Settlement.

Columbia, Nov. 14.-Gov. Manning
may ask the next general assembly
to pass "a compulsory arbitration law
in the form of a board of conciliation."
He is not definitely committed to the
plan, but is giving it careful consider
alton. That such a board is favored
by the governor was made known in
q statement issued last night, dealing
with the textile strikes in the Pied
mont section of the State. The gov
ernor in his statement declared the
people have the right to organize if
they wish to do so.''
The statement in full follows:
From the beginning Of the strike
at Brogon mills 1 have been making
an effort to get the two sides to an
amicable settlement. 1 have been es-
pecially active along these lines dur
ing the last week, but apparently the
situation is no nearer a settlement
than before. Nevertheless L am not
discouraged, but am still trying to
find common ground on which they
can meet.
AT the Judson mills in Greenville
prospects for a settlement are more
favorable.
In both mills the managing officers
have conceded the right of the en-
ployes to organize.
Thus one of the fundamental
sources of disagreement has been re-
moved.
There is one thing which both
sides should understand clearly. NO
violence will he tolerated.
"The sheriffs of Anderson and
Greenville counties will be held stern
ly to their duty to maintain order.
do not anticipate that they will force
me to take the preservation of order
out Of their hands, but if I am con-
vinced that either of the sheriffs is not
fulfilling his duty, 1 am prepared to
act.
There is right and wrong on both
sides, and the bitterness is increas-
ing. AS good citizens of South CAR
olina, 1 feel that both sides should
agree upon some plan that will ter
inmate the trouble.
"Arbitration in such disagreemen.s
mas been universally recognized as a
safe basis. The public is everywhere
much inclined to believe that the ueo-
pie who avoid arbitration put them.
selves in the wrong.
The communities in which these
mills are situated and the State of
south Carolina are deeply interested
in just settlement being reached.
Private differences of this sort will
not long be tolerated by the people
Of the State. Some means must be
devised to bring all parties to an
amicable frame of mind.
AT present I am gravely consider
ing recommending to the legislature q
compulsory arbitration law in the
form Of board Of Cancellation. am
not committed to this proposition,
but am studying it's workings in other
places.
All citizens will recognize that our
people have the right to organize if
they wish TO do so. 1t will also be
generally recognized that the lives and
property Of our people must be pro-
| tccted.
Il will stand to both propositions. ."

An Wong Ching, who is in the way of being real artist in his chosen pro- fession of cookery and whose delight ful service is at once the envy and admiration of every woman who has ever tasted of his mutitudinous and delicious creations, came near causing a breach of diplomatic relations be- tween the United States and Great Britian the other day, says J. J. Under wood in a Seattle paper. Likewise Ching caused Maj. J. r. A. Strong, the dignified and urbane governor of Alas ka, to become very much perturbed. to say nothing of considerable anxiety that he caused to Mrs Strong.
 Also Ching was responsible for a number of telegrams being sent to the secretary of the treasury and the secretary of state of the United states and certain high officials of Canada. as well as to a number of other i'm portant personages in the affairs of both nations.
