GALLONS IS THE
TRAGIC END Of
'AbYSSINIANS'

When the mind runs wild and leaps
from the realm of common sense into
the mysteries of Grand Priests, High
Exalted Rulers and Head Potentates
then mischief goes afoot and disaster
comes as the sad finale.
Grover Redding. Prince of fan
tastic and mysterious semi-religious
cult and Oscar Macgavock, have paid
with their lives for their folly. On
Friday they were hanged by the neck
until dead 1t was last summer when
Abyssinia appeared in Chicago. 1t

build his empire and raise his throne
He claimed to have supernatural power
and the gift OF the Almighty was his
The back to Abyssinia talk and the
gay colors OF the high priest made easy
prey OF the superstitous and gulliblc
Southsiders. Readings following grew
and one Sunday while leading a
bright hued crowd of his followers
through the crowded throughfares the
Prince deliberately burned the flag OF
America and with his Lieutenant was
successful in killing Robert Rose,
sailor who attempted to prevent him.
Thus the Prince of Abyssinia offended
the Commonwealth OF Illinois and for
his crime he paid with his life.
Warning to Fanatics
The story OF the Abyssinians may

DOES NOT WANT
To S|CKEN THE
PUBLIC WITH
NAUSEOUS TALE.

GREENSBORO, N. c, July 2. -
The entire book dealing with the sen
satlonal Warner litigation, save that
chapter concerning a divorce between
II. b. Warner and his wife, Mrs. Flor
encc G. Warner. was settled Thursday
afternoon to the satisfaction of all
concerned, when the attorneys repre-
senting the three parties interested,
namely. II. B. Warner, Mrs. Warner,
white, and Baker McRary, agreed up
on the conditions of the compromises,
and signed the necessary papers TO
make the agreements binding.
Proceedings Kept Secret,
The suit OF Warner against Nc
Rary Tor 100000 is withdrawn. Mrs
Florence {. Warner gets a sum of
money said to be about $4,000, the
SUIT OF Fritts vs.. Walser is settled,
Mrs Warner is to go to her home in
Utah, and it is understood. she will
enter suit there for divorce, which
SUIT, it is said, will not be opposed
The exact provisions of the settlement
OF the cases are not known, the law
yers agreeing among themselves to
keep the terms a secret.
As to the innocence or guilt OF Mrs.
Warner, the courts have not yet said,
and rather than 60 through the ordeal
OF another trial and rather than air
the nauseating case again before the
public. all parties concerned desired
TO effect compromise.
Perhaps not in the history OF the
country have the people of both races
been SO thoroughly aroused concern
ing litigation as they were during the
tme and Immediately following the
trial Of the case in federal court in
February. The trial lasted Tor ten
days, and in ii over 100 witnesses ties

auto rides, love notes, telephone con

disclosing the intimate private lie OF
Mrs. Warner and McRary were aired
and contested,
According to evidence presented.

Mrs. Warner, one night last August.

Hardwick's bill pro-

viding an income tax to supply
revenue for the state in place of the
present ad valorem system, which it
proposes to abolish, appears to be up
against a very stiff fight in both
branches of the assembly, and likely
will be defeated The income tax
plan has many attractive and allur-
ing features, but to US it possesses a
fatal feature which makes it dan
geTous substitute for the present
plan. This fatal feature is that in
times Of financial or business de-
preston, which constantly recur in
regular cycles, a tax based on in
come-which virtually means profits
would produce far less revenue
than would be required to meet the
constant cost of upkeep of the states
institutions, which must be cared for
regardless of conditions, unless the
rate We're made tremendously and
ruinously high. In flush times it would
operate easily and successfully, but
not in times Of stress.
We, are favorable to any tax
change that will improve the system
in any way, but the assembly should
think carefully before swapping our
present plan for something inferior.
THE talk Of pellagra and the black
eye given the South by the wide
spread reports Of its increase and
semi-famine in the South continue
We of the South know that there are
more food stuffs this year than ever
before, and that we have no condition
Of semi-famine. However, there are
more cases of real poverty and in
some Instances Of actual hunger and
general want now than in recent
years because Of adverse economic
cohaltlonS--a situation true in other
sections as we'll as the South But
the fact remains that the South has
much pellagra, despite denials, and it
has had much pellagra all along. The
facts and figures are appalling when
it is considered that it is an ailment
easily avoided, not caused by bacteria
and therefore not communicable. 1t
does not spread from one person to
another, but originates within the vic
tim himself as result of improper
and unbalanced diet-lack of vegeta-
bles and fruits. Families may be
ever so poverty stricken, and have
only the plainest food, but they need
not have pellagra in the South, be-
cause nature provides the foods with
lavish hand and at little or not
cost that will prevent the malady.
Every physician and every student of
dietetics knows this.
