6O cases OF pellagra in its worst form
were found in one small cotton mill

there are only eight cases in this vii
lage, and every one Of these is rapid

DR.. Goldbergcr declared that the af-
ter effects OF pellagra were much
worse than the after effects of Span
ish Influenza. After all active symp-
toms Of Dellagra have disappeared the
patient has invariably experienced fre-
quent and prolonged periods of las
situde and general debility, and in
many cases it has required several
years to build up the patient to his
former state Of efficiency.

Senator Smith Took an
Important Part in the
Democratic Convention

citation movement, and for a number
Of years he served the South in the
field work with the organization OF
the association. When he came to be
elected for the Senate in 1908 his vote
was tho biggest his State had given
for this office, showing the apprecia-
ton in which the people Of his satate
had held his work. In Congress his
committee assignments show the bent
|of his work. They include the Com
Imittccs on Railroads, Manufactures,
Interstate Commerce, Agriculture and
Forestry and he is chairman Of the
UOmmittce on Conservation of Ma
tional Resources, every one of them Il
practical working committee that
works directly to the welfare of the
country.
AS an active member of these in
dustrial and commercial committees,
Senator Smith has chance to know
the needs OF the country in it's pro-
lduction, distribution and foreign
commercial relations. and he has the
conception that realizes the absolute
NECESSITY OF making our railroads and
harbors serve the requirements Of
both domestic and foreign trade. Con-
siderable that has been brilliant has
been written by Senators from South
Carolina in the story Of the country.
The State has contributed its share

never has her representation in Wash
inSton showed a more comprehensive
association with the practical neceSsi-
ties OF the country than Senator
Smith is exhibiting in his committee
work and the carncstncss with which
he undertakes to make this work
count. South Carolina feels great
pride in the names that have repre-
scntcd the State in the Federal Senate
in the past but by the time her pres
cnt delegation there has concluded the
task laid out for the members, it is
| possible a new claim to conspicuous
service, and Il new line will have been

and the South as a section can held

aging Senator Smith in the work he is
