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. - * * > Jf at OaCK IB COminuu ttliu ULiuiean. iui tu ermore, no orthodox Jew ever sufferei from Pelagra.

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. ! a Newberry News and Herald. I a ? I ?. After a newspaper ackuaintance with Mr i Q Hugh Wilson, the veteran ex-editor ot the , Abbeville Press and Banner, (but who is e still "in evidence" on the same paper,) for 1 Q a period of fifty-six years, we can most 1 t heartily subscribe to all our younger , brethren of the stylus have said above.? , Lawrenceville Herald. 0 _ i 1 Strange- | ;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 t and can only judge by what we see. i No More If You Please.

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.

On last Saturday .100 or more Ho Hollers gathered at their bethel in Wc Duxbury, Massechusetts, to await Judf merit day which they thought, would cor sometime Saturday. People of the faith from all over t land were in attendance at (his wat meeting.

It seems that he hi a complication of troubles, floating; kidm a'nd appendicitis, either of which is usual sufficient cause for a man to pass in t cheekp. But Mr. Lomax hauled throuj and is here in Abbaville to tell the tale.

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. caliT and see all the good things I have to otter in WATCHES.
