Since the increase of pellagra is being discussed in and out of the state and the president and state officials are taking the matter up it is timely at this time to give further space to this subject. Dr. W. w. York, county health officer, in conversation with the editor, said that there had been an increase of the disease in this section, and he feared further increase. Since many of these people are not reached through the public prints he thought it advisable to reach them through the business houses with which they do business. The cause of the malady is not using a varied diet and eating too much corn bread, fat meat and cheap syrup. Ii is sug- gested that the people, especially the poorer people among whom it is more prevalent, buy peas, beans and pota- toes. Many people do not take pro- per advantage of the home garden, which would give them the varied diet needed, both as a preventative and as a cure.

ADDOintmentS Are Guar

(By Clio Harper.) )

 Little Rock, Ark, July 25.-Gover- nor McRae has adopted the policy of making appointments to fill vacancies with the understanding that in the event there should be any opposition to his appointees, a special election shall be held to enable the people to select the man of their choice. Here tofore it has been the rule with most governors to fill vacancies in any office whether township, county, dis trict or state, by appointment for the unexpired term. Only in the rarest instances have there been special elec- tions called.
 Governor McRae has called num- Der of special elections for township officers where vacancies have occurred after making temporary appointments. With each of these appointments the governor sends the following letter: Your commission goes forward to- | day. It should be understood that when a Justice of the Peace or Con- | stable is appointed to fill a vacancy caused by resignation or otherwise, the appointment is made pending the next general election unless there IS seeming demand for a special elec- 1 ton, ill which instance a special elec- ton will be called by Governor Me l Rae
 Amendment No. 3, adopted in 1895, makes the following provision:
 '"rhe governor shall, in case a va cancy occurs in any state, district county or township office in the state, either by death, resignation or other~ wise, fill the same by appointment, such appointment to be in force and effect until the next general election thereafter"
 There have been two notable in- stances in Governor McRae's adminis- tration of appointments being made that have been so popular that no special election was considered neces- sary. These were the appointment of Fred Galloway as sheriff of Lee county and w. E. Atkinson of Clarks- vile as Chancellor of the Ninth dis trict In neither of these cases was any recommendation made to the gov ernor and there has been no remon- stance whatever, but interested citi- zens have commended the governor $ selection as the most popular that could have been made.
 It is Governor McRae's policy that government should be deferred in all instances to it's source, which is the people. Frequently there is more in terest locally in the identity of town ship officers, since they are closest to the people, than in district or state offices, which are more remote. For this reason the governor does not desire to deprive the people of their perogative of voicing their sentiment in tke selection of these minor off cials

If the town of AshdoWn is going to get anywhere in the management of it's public affairs it's officials are go- ing to have to get together and work together, cut out petty politics, friction among the various members, and put a little pep and team work into the job If you are member of the city administration, it would be well for you to remember that your fellow member was also elected by the people and has the same right to be taken into consideration that you have. Old Nero is said to have fiddled while Rome burned and went to the devil generally. The News knows that you have some knotty problems before you, and it also knows that you are going to have to get into the collar as one man to solve them. It also be- iieves that this is not being done. We had just as soon you set of men would solve these problems as any other set of men, preferably so since the people have handed the job over to your Keeping. We play no favorities.

Board reported it in the vicinity of Hattiesburg, Miss. It is of Japanese origin and very little is known about 1t. The scale is known to attack as many as one hundred different kinds of trees as we'll as greenhouse shrub bery at New Orleans. Plant Board au- thorities do not know whether it will attack orchard trees or not, but all agree that it should be kept out of the state if possible. The San Jose scale was discovered here in 1898 and has done millions of damage. The camphor scale might become equally destructive.

Boys Will Spend Week On
 River With the Y. IA. (. A.

Plans are being laid to hold the County Y. M. c. A. Camp August 17th to 24th on Little River.
 With the expectation that large number of boys will attend the County Committee are making arrangements so that the expense of the camp will cnly be $2.00 instead of $500. To dc this it will be necessary to obtain al least twice the attendance of last year and present indications are that this will be accomplished. The camp is conducted with a test ed program and for definite purpose It offers both healthful recreation and helpful training. This years caml will especially stress the clean life as an asset to a successful life, and this part of the program will be brought to the boys by man who has had years of experience in this work The camp is open to any boy twelve
 or older, and the following rules we here will be the only ones necessary fer the camp. No fire arms, and nc tobacco in camp.
 There will be an adult leader fol every seven boys in attendance, mak ing the camp as safe as though the
 boys were out camping in a fami'5 cimp. A complete program occupying the entire day and all work and plaI under competent supervision, witt two periods for swimming with oX-
 rert sWimers in charge reduces tb6 chance for accidents to a minimum This is the best kind of an opportunity
 fur a boy to learn to swim who doe,
 not already know how.
 As it will be necessary to secur:
 a large number of boys for the camI
 to atke advantage of the minimum eN'
 pense, we are asking the help of al in securing the desired number. As the success or failure of canil | is determined before the boys get tC
 camp, the present indications are tfa tIlS CdIlD IS dll dSoul Cu ouCCCoo, 'li''
 while the county committee realize | that they are doing something redic ally out of the ordinary in trying t. l put the camp over for the minimum
 charge of $2.00 yet they feel that if nj:
