The litigation over the Office of
Sheriff of this county, caused by
the death of Il. L. Hackett. last
summer. and which is now pend
ing in the Supreme Court. will
soon be settled. The case was
tried in the Supreme Court last
week but no decision has vet
been handed down. but it is look
ed for in short time. The case
for the new sheriff, John B.
Gam, was argued before the
Supreme Court by H. B. McGin-
ness, and L. A. Lyon, and for
NJ. ]. Malone. by Judge T. j.
Fisher. Both the men interest
ed were present and heard the
trial of the case.

in bad shape now and that
tobacco il bringing low prices
just the same as mules are selling
at q low figure. There are many
reasons assigned for the low
price of tobacco this year, chief
of which is the European war.
The price of expectation to for
eign countries is almost prohibi-
tive and the large foreign trad
ers are unable to get any ma
rlne insurance on the goods. It
is also insisted that on account of
tightness of money the specula-
tors are handicapped and this
makes the market the more. dull.
A tobacco man from Louisville.
who happened to be in Carthage
last Saturday, spoke encourag-
ingly of the sale and said the
prices offered here for leaf were
better than was being paid in
Louisville at that time. The
average price paid in Louisville
last week was only $500, T. j.
Samson. an old Smith county
boy who formerly lived at Lam
caster but now proprietor of the
samson Tobacco Co. of Glasgow
was one Of the bidders here last
Saturday Mr. Samson is con-
sidered one of Kentucky's best
judges of tobacco and while here
he gave sbme reasons why the
tobacco On the Carthage floor
did not bring better prices. He
said the tobacco in most in
stances was not properly graded,
that he would find baskets con-
tanning a mixture of good, COM
mon and Tugs. This he said
would naturally result in the
tobacco bringing poor price. He.
also said that while a good por-
ton of The tobacco here looked

number OF Instances almost rot

was largely due to improper
handling during the wet season
last fall.
Severalbuyers have been on
the floor this week and have
bought a large amount of the
tobacco. 1t. has not been an.
noun@ed when the next auction
sale will be held. Farmers are
continuing to haul their crops
here and preparations are being
made for another sale.

really means to our county
There are new pupils entering
almost daily. Eighteen entirely
new pupils have enrolled with us
since the holidays, besides quite
a number!of the old ones who
have been out for several weeks
have returned. The attendance
is fine and the interest is very
satisfactory indeed.

FIRST TOBACCO SALE HELD BY
UPPER cUMBERL AND " AREHOUSE

The first sale by the Upper
Cumberland Loose Leaf Tobacco
Warehouse Co., was held at
carthage last Saturday. The
opening Of the Carthage loose
leaf floor was the most auspi-
cious ever enjoyed by a house of
this character. There were
225, 900 pounds of tobacco on the
floor and the SALE being the first
of its kind ever held in this sec
ton caused widespread interest,
hundreds Of farmers being pres
ent to witness the sale.
Previous to the sale the crowd
congregated on the main floor of
the large warehouse where short
addresses wer made by Auc-
tioneer Bohanan, A. q, Read
and w. E. Myer. Mayor Read
welcomed the farmers to Car
thage and predicted that the es-
tablishing of the warehouse
would ultimately prove to be of
great benefit to the farmers of
Smith and adjoining counties.
Mr.. -Myer expressed himself as
being proud of the new enter
prise and in a general way gave
all his hearers some very timely
suggestions by advising them to
study the needs of the county,
their neighbors and to form the
habit of pulling together and
working to each others interest.
The following is about an aver
age Of the prices at which the
tobacco was bid off at the sale
last Saturday:
Extra good leaf, $3.50 to SO. 90
Fairly good leaf. SO. so to So. 90
Common good leaf 800 to $50
Lugs, -- so to $50
There were nine buyers bidding
on the tobacco, j. q. Davis,
Carthage: T. j. Samson. and d.
q. Jefferson, Glasgow: NJ. M.
Ford and Ed Anderson. GalIatin;
B. r. Miller, Clarksyille; C. F.
Britton and Dolphus Puyear,
Nashville; Lee Compt., Louisville
The sale. as a whole, was not
very pleasing to the farmers and
a large number of the sales were
rejected, while other farmers ex-
pressed themselves as more than
pleased with the sale and that
they received a better price for
their tobacco than they had
thought it would bring. 1t has
been suggested that the farmers.
forget that the tobacco market is

PElueRA IN MISSISSIPPI INCREASING At An ALARMING RATE
Article Galloway Mississippi
Containing Muchv

For the year 1914 there were 10, 954
cases of pellagra reported to the State
Board. of Health through the county
health officers, as compared with 6,99l
for the preceding year. This shows more
of an increase than probably actually ex-
listed, but without fear of contradiction,
it can be said that pellagra is increasing
at an alarming rate. With practically
the same number OF deaths from all causes
reported for the past two years, the num-
Der of deaths reported from pellagra for
the year 1914 was ], 1872, as compared with
795 for the year 1918.
This means that the death rate for 1914
increased over AZ per cent over that for
the year 1918.
Pellagra is one, if not tile most import
ant disease with which we are confront
ed at this time, and it deserves more at
tention than it has received to date.
During the year 1914 in the number of
deaths it was third, being only exceeded
by tuberculosis and pneumonia. Pella-
gra caused more deaths during the year
than typhoid fever, small pox. measles,
scarlet fever, influenza, epidemic cerebro-
spinal meningitis and acute poliomyelitis
combined. Pellagra affects both whites
and negroes; for the year 1914 the white
rate was 30.S, and the negro rate nearly
three times'as large, being s7.6 per hun
dred thousand population.
The mortality from pellagra, based on
the number of cases reported for all deaths,
was l0.9per cent; white mortality Ga per
cent and negro 1874 per cent. On this
basis the negro mortality is more than
twice that of the white
Pellagra is not confined to any particu-
lar section OF the state, as it was reported
from every county in the state, and every
county had deaths from pellegra for the
year 1914, with the exception of Hancock,
Pearl River and Winston. The greatest
number of deaths from this cause was
reported from counties having hospitals,
Kinds led with 10 deaths.
A great many investigations of this dis
