Columbia. July 1.-THE people Of
South Carolina who have been fol-
lowing the work of the San Francisco
Convention will be interested in the
important part which Senator ,IG ID.
Smith played in the deliberations.
The work of Senator Smith Is best
described in the following article
from the Florence Daily Times:
Friends Of Senator Ellison I'd. Smith
IN Florence county are beginning to
interest themselves in his behalf as
a candidate for re-election to the
United States Senate. not that they
are fearful OF the Senator's failing to
carry the county by a large majority,
as usual, but because of the fact
that they arc anxious to rcconiZc
the Senator's great work in the Sen
ate by giving him much larger
majority than ever before.
Senator Smith has ben at San
Francisoo attending Inc National
Democratic convention. He will re-
turn to his home at Lynchburg to-
morrow and is expected in Florence
in the week. senator Scnith will he
late entering the campaign, his op-
ponents having already covered a
large part of the State
In his letter to the people Of tho
State which was read at the opening
meeting OF the campaign he recount
ed his achievements in the Senate and
stated that he felt 1t his duty to at
tend the convention and as 4 member
or the platform committee, do what
he could for his state and the South

only item in which his influence was
felt Senator Smith happily has the
knack Of getting things done and his
activities at the convention bore fruit
Just as they have done in the Senate
The following rather remarkable
tribute to Senator Smith is taken
from the Raleigh News and Observer
the paper owned by Josephus Daniels
Secretary Of the Navy and will be OF
interest as pointing out the esteem in
which Senator Smith is held in the
tar heel State.

WILL DISCONTINUE
PELLAGItA HOSPITAL

DR.. G0ldbcrger Says Disease Now
Stamped Out. TOO Much Prospect.
ty.
Spartanburg, July 1S.-Pellagra has
practically been stamped out in the
Piedmont section of South Carolina,
where the disease formerly ragged in
its worst form, and as result the
pellaera, hospital in this city will be
discontinued December 81, it was an
nounced toay by Surgeon Joseph
Goldbergcr of the United States pub
lie health service. The laboratory and
other equipment Of the hospital here
will be distributed among the other
hospitals Of the public health service
and SO far as the local force Of pei
lagra investigators is concerned, the
research work will come to an end.
The biggest single factor in the
stamping out of this disease has been
the post war prosperity that has ere
atcd marked Improvement in The
among whom Dcllagra was most pre-
valent, Dr.. Goldbcrgcr said People
who formerly suffered from pcnn
in its most virulcnt form have enjoyed
an era of prosperity since tho war
that has enabled them to purchase al!
! the necessities and many of the lux
uricS of life. 1t was recognized long
aG0 that Wcllagra was most prevalent
among those pconlc who did not en-
! Joy the best quality OF food or else
lwho did not live upon a diet conducive
to keeping themselves in fit physical
condition.
Several years ago DR.. Sambon, the
eminent English pcllagra expert. came
to SDartanburg and adTaltccd the
theory that pellagra was caused by
the buffalo 2nat, and his argument
gained much crcdcncc among local
physicians. Later, however, The re-
search work here exploded t.!
theory, as the disease was found to
exist in sections where the buffalo
! snat was not to be found.
Many physicians attributed the dis
case TO too much eating of corn, but
the investigation he disclosed that
the disease existed ng many poo-
Iplc who ate little or 40 corn, while
mo traces Of the disease could be
found in many homes where the dict
was largely composed Of corn.
1t has been ncontrovcrtibly cstah-
lishcd by the local investigators thai
pcllagra is caused by wrong, i'll bal
anccd combination Of foods, and tho
workers here have Systematically con
pie concerning proper diets. In 1916

COAL DEALERS IN
DESPERATE PLIGHT
Besieged With Demands They
Cannot Fill; to Appeal to
Patience of Patrons.

Where local coal dealers are going to
get anthracite coal sufficient TO accom-
modate their trade Is a question that is
Worrying the dealers just now. Orders
placed nearly wear ago have been but
partly filed, and as conditions are today
there Is practically no coal except pea
coal in the yards of any dealer.
The dealers held a meeting yesterday
10 discuss the situation and 1t was de-
. eided TO prepare a letter and send II TO
those who have ordered coal, explaining
their position. They have been driven
almost frantic by the hundreds of tele-
uhone calls made daily from anxious
householders, but they are helpless. Tins
nornir with the coming of cooler tenn
peratures. the telephone calls trpied IL
number
The statement that the dealers Will
send 20 their customers will outline the
fact that they have DO large sizes OF coal
on hand now and that they are depending
entirely on the mine owners for shipments.
That all shipments of large sizes now are
being directed 10 the New England States
before cold weather stops transportation
northward AS soon as the cold weather
arrives. the shipments will come this way,
but when, rs d question the local dealers
cannot learn.
The dealers have agreed TO stand by
order received and fill them in their
'order" One of the questions discussed
WIS whether il would not be advisable TO
send 10 each patron, as soon as they re-
ceived the large sizes, small amount of
has order so that he might not suffer. It
was the opinion of most Of the dealers
that would be the most satisfactory
wav TO meet present conditions.
Two weeks ago there was a bountifu
supply Of pea coal on hand, but this has
been gradually diminishing.
