The Plague and fhe Hog.
To the Editor of The State:
The progrrssive thought of the day is in
terested Jin the subject of pellagra, its
cause, treatment and cure. Dr. Chelius S
Pixley of Winnsboro has in my judgmeni
evolved the cause of this disease and a me
thod of cure in the first and second stages
and which has given to the patient in th<
late stage great relief.
Dr. Pixley attributes it to the use a*
articles of diet of hog meat, fats and theii
extracts that become rancid before, 01
afte;, being taken into the stomach.
This is as much as I have been able t<
gather from him in a general conversatior
al way. He will read a paper at the pefla
gra conference to be held during tho wee I
of the State fair at Columbia, and I ven
ture to say that his hearers, however edu
cated or critical, will be entertained, an(
the discussion following will benefit al
concerned.
I shall watch the development and test!
- of his therory in the future with great in
terest. W. W. Dixon.
Winnsboro, Sept. 18.1909.
The State.
People believe just about what the;
want to believe and nothing more. W
have taken the corn bread theory cui
ffrano salis from the start, and now whei
fat back is proposed as the source of pel
agra we fall In line immediately. Fa
back is sufficient unto itself to initiate an<
propogate any disease from pelagra t
DimDles. Single handed and alone fa
back has slain its thousands.
The good Book put the ban on fat bad
four thousand years ago, but man is i
herd animal to convince. They are all froc
Missouri and have to be shown things
It is a great pity Jthat we cannot lean
some lessons without being shown1 Th
good]Book says that it won't do for a wart
climate and it looks like we might a
least Investigate.
We do not know what Dr. Pixley has t
say on the subject or how far he has push
ed his investigatiods, but we like the trai
. , he Is barking on better than the corn flel<
trail of the other medicos.
When it comes to a choice between fa
back and corn bread we chose the latte
and whoop for Pixley. Fat back is only fl
to grease a cross cut saw with any way
and then it will rust the saw teeth.
There are plenty of things that will tak<
the place of fat back in cooking, in fac
almost anything will take the place of i
with us. In tropical countries where th'
cocoanut grows, cocoanut oil is the sub
stituoe. We can find a substitute for i
here if we search diligently.

J Editor Hugh Wilson.
Although Mr. Hugh Wilson announced
1 some time ago that he had retired from f
" the editorship of the Abbeville Press and c
- Banner, he is still contributing to the
| columns of that paper every week. His
1 mind has not lost any of its vigor, and his f
articles are as clear cut and as full of kind3
ly humor as ever. We always enjoy read
inw lanvt.hinir that Mr. Wilson writes, _
whether we agree with it or not. In fact J
we think we will not read the Press and \
Banner any more after Mr. Wilson quits (
? writing for it. The new editors, Messrs.
Bradley'are all right, but the old paper 1
e will never be the same without the old
n editor.?Anderson Mail. I
i ?
Somehow we feel much the same way. \
t The Messrs. Bradley are fine fellows. We
i know them both. They are capable. * But
since we have known the Press and Ban0
ner it has always been one of the papers
,t we missed when itjfailed to come. We
hope Mr. Wilson will continue to write for
, it. We did not always agree with him, but
^ we always enjoyed reading what he wrote. !

;1 A family in a neighboring county was ]
recently afflicted by sickness. When the
t child i died the incidental kindness of
r the neighbors was so much out of the (
t ordinary that the father and mother of 11
, the dead child felt called upon to make
public declaration of the fact.
8 People in Abbeville are always kind to i
t the afflicted, and no such notices or decla- ]
t rations in the newspapers are necessary 1
a here. We don't know however, what sort J
K of people live in some other communities

Back From Texas
Mr. Thompson, who has been in Texas
or a long time is back again in the town
>f his nativity.
He says that the land is rich and plentiul
in Texas.
People must haul water for domestic
ise, for cattle and other stock. Gins in
Texas arc run by water that has been
muled in barrels. When asked why they
lidn't dig wells, he said, because the
veils in many instances arc salty.
Mr. Thompson carries a good avoirdu>ois
and looks the picture of health.
Many friends welcome Mr. Thompson
lome and we believe that all wish that he
nay stay with us.
Family Trees.
Some people in the world arc anxious to
show us the records of their family tree
for ages and ages, but some of us want
the history to run so far back as to show
ivhen our distinguished ancestors were
nonkeys. We have no record as to when
;he ancestors of any distinguished family
tvas thrown out of the great family of
nonkeys and when they were disowned by
;heir parents. It is not desirable to remind
some people when their great-great

The Circus.
John Robinson's circus will be here Fi
day, October 1. This circus is one of tl
largest that conies to cities the size of A
beville. It requires 3G cars to handle
and is one among the largest in the coui
try.
The show is making its way into the pei
nut country of Virginia. It is a little carl
to show in the cotton bolt as yet, but tl
peanut crop is on. It comes earlier the
the cotton crop.
The circuses go into the country who
conditions are most favorable in that coui
try for them. They go out west when tl
grain is just harvested; they go to Cal
fornia in the midst of the fruit seasoi
they come south in the fall. During othc
seasons of the year they make the larg
cities and manufacturing centers whei
crops do not affect the attendance on ci
cuses.
Robinson's circur is not playing in tli
south at present but just passing throug
on its way to get its share of the peam
crop.
