taolishment Of the state highway com.
mission and the erection Of a bridge
across the Santee river. He related a
great deal Of interesting history of the
State. especially of the low country
and promised his best efforts in behalf
Of both measures.
Mr.. r. B. Belser thought that q
bridge across the Santee would aid in
the development Of the low country
and had been working for a state high.
way commission for several years, he
stated.
Supervisor Davis of Clarendon
county pointed out natural ridge in
the swamp, where he thought that q
causeway and bridge could be built at
least cost to the State. He stated
that the people of Clarendon county
were in favor Of having such a bridge
erected.
Messrs. r. F. DesChamps and w.
N. Rush promised that they would aid
in the adoption of q measure for the
erection Of tho bridge and the estab-
lishment of a state highway commits
sion.
Judge T. r. Richardson thought
that the matter Of erecting a bridge
across the Santce at the point men.
toned was Of such Importance that it
should be called to the attention of
congress. where it should be pushed
by the South Carolina representa-
tives.
The discussion showed that such a
bridge across the Santee would prove
very convenient for automobiles and
other vehicles in crossing from the
eastern to the western side of the riv-
er. and would aid in developing cer-
tain counties of the State.
The matter was brought to a head
by resolution offered by E. I. Rear
don, secretary of the Sumter Chamber
of Commerce. who asked that the
meeting go on record as favoring a
state highway commission and the
erection Of a bridge across the Santee
river. and asking the members of
the county legislative delegation to
support such legislation. The resolu-
ton was unanimously passed.
The board then adjourned.

McADOO CALLS FOR RUSH AP.
PROPRIATTON.
secretary OF Treasury Pleads With
Congress to Furnish Sinews of War
for Campaign in South.

washington, Jan. 4.-Pellagra has
become such menace in the South
that Secretary McAdoo today asked
congress for a rush appropriation of
100000 for studies and demonstra-
ton work in rural sanitation with q
particular view to checking that dis
ease and typhoid fever. He submitted
report from the public health service
which said:
Increased demonstrations are ur-
gently required to prevent pellagra
from becoming veritable scourge in
many rural communities. In Missis-
sippi alone there were 10,549 cases
and 1.024 deaths from pellagra last
year, and in certain other States It
has exceeded tuberculosis as cause
lof death. 1t is estimated that there
have been approximately $4,000 cases
of pellagra throughout the country
this past year, with more than $500
deaths"
The report states that the country
population has not kept pace with
urban communities along sanitary
lines and that improper food has been
shown to have a profound influence
on the health Of populations and ia
be directly responsible for the in
creasing prevalence Of pellagra.
