Raleigh Officials
Believe Report ON
Pellagra Hurt South

Raleigh, Aug. 2-The United States
public health services report of a
semi-famine and pellagra epidemic in
the cotton belt is viewed in Official
circles here as an effort on the part
of the Harding administrator to in
jure North Carolina and the other
southern states.
The plan is suggested as having
been well planned by the officials at
Washington. The public health ser
vice turns the statement that there
was widespread famine and disease in
the south over to President Ea1d5ng
and he gaze publicity to the report
in calling upon the Red Cross for
help even before the news agencies
had ben given an opportunity to make
an investigation as to the truth1ulnFss
Of the statements.
Because of the method used 10 tuff4-
ing the story loose the charge is heard
here that Hatding's statement ana
the report of the public health service
were intended to deceive. The poll
tics is easily seen in the Whole
scheme. A Republican admin nistrat1on
with it's hands we'll filled with labor
difficulties throughout the 'north ana
east sought to prevent further d1s-
sension bv calling attention to what
thew weer pleased to term semi
famin eand pellagra epidemic in the
southern states.
Iaborers in the north and east
who MIGHT have considered coming to
tho south at this time would, OF course,
have been scared off by PreslGetlt
Earding's alarm which pictured ter
, rible condition throughout the cottoI
belt t with people dying of starvation
and disease. 81
State health officials point out
that pellagra, north or south, IS not f
contagious and is not considefea 3;dasas as
coming under the classes OF diseases
from which epidemics occur.
