A MOUNTAINEER IN TOWN. ri Milton Nicholson, of Oconee County, ^ In the City. (Anderson Mall 14th.) One of the most Interesting visit ors In the city ls Milton Nicholson, who arrived ia the city this morning fresh from his home in the moun tains In the Whitewater section. This ?8 his first visit to Anderson in eigh teen years. He came to visit hts nephews, R. E. and W. P. Nicholson. "I'm In my 79th year," said Mr. Nicholson, "and I have been living on my place up In ihe mountains Bjnce I wus married- 55 years ago. My wife, myself nnd one child stay together. My son Pick lives a short distance away. We live a mighty cod life up In my country-notti ng much to worry us, and we live peaceably." . Mr. Nicholson is a typical moun taineer, and he ls proud of it. He came wearing a homespun pair of blue trousers and a homovuin brown shirt. "Yes, my old woman made my trousers and shirt for me. We raise our ov;.: sheep, and she does the spinning. I walked in Moss & Ansel's store at Walhalla to get me a coat i his morning. The one I had was a little too heavy for this low country. 1 told the clerk who wait ed on me that it was the first coat I had bought since I got married. | Fifty-five years is a lon*' time to go ; without buying clothes, Isn't lt? j Well, that's a fact." Mr. Nicholson wears a Masonic badge quite prominently on tho lapel of his new coat. "So you are a Ma son, are you, Mr. Nicholson?" Inquir ed a representative of the Dally Mall. "Yes," he replied. "I have been a Mason for fifty-one >ears. My first membership was with old Keowee lodge at Plckens Court House. When the district was cut up, ai d since 1 was living on the east side of the river 1 got a demit and became urin ated with Blue Ridge lodge at Wal halla. I'm still pretty well versed in Masonry. My mind is clear and I remember a great deal of the work In the lodge." When asked as to the hunting and fishing up in his sction Mr. Nicholson said that Whitewater is full of fish, but on account of the preserves be ing established no fishing or hunting there is allowed. Mr. Nicholson looked up some of his friends while in thc city. He remembered all of those he met years ago, and seemed very glad to talk with them once more. The old mountaineer asked the re porter his name before leaving him. "Why, I remember well that name. Some men by that name from the Pee De? section were in the army. I remember them perfectly." "You served during the war, then, Mr Nicholson? What regiment were you in?" he was asked. "I was a cavalryman," said he, while hts eyes became dim with tears. "I sen ed under Wade-Wade Hampton. He was a good and great man," said thc old mountaineer very tenderly. Mr. Nicholson expects to return to his home In the mountains to-mor row. "All Wool and a Yard Wide." Mr. Nicholson returned to Wal halla last Wednesday evening, de lighted with his trip, and with but one regret-that he could not stay longer In Anderson. He was look ing well, happy as a lark, and was on his way back to lils home whore "everything is free as the wind and cool as a cucumber." Ile was spick and span as Mr. Anybody, from Any where, wearing with ease and grace his first blue sorge coat. Mr. Nich olson has not only consistently stuck to the all-wool home-made suits, but his life has measured up so consis tently through all these years as to bear, along with his wife's famous "blue jeans" cloth, ( 4he full guar antee of "All Wool and a Yard Wide." May this good old couple live yet many years as peacefully and happily in their pleasant mountain home as they have during the past fifty-five years, with added pleasures, happi ness and prosperity. Here's our best wishes and highest regards for this good couple, netthor of whoa? has ever blushed at wearing the badges of the mountains-home-spun, blue jeans and honesty!

The Night Cure is sold by Dr. J. W. Bell. "The Human Polecat." (Southern Druggist.) Which are the worst? The ciga rette fiend or a wild onlou fiend? The cigarette fiend will say "onions." The onion eater will say "clgarottes." Considered strictly from the stand point of pure offensiveness there is perhaps little difference, except that the cigarette has tho onlou boat in staying power. The smell of onion disappears with tho next meal, pro vided no more onions are eaten, leav ing the onlon-oater sweet and heal thy; but the smell of the cigarette remains. It is In the "fiend's" clothes, In his hair, in fact his very Uesti is so thoroughly impregnated with the sickening and unwholesome odor that nothing short of the most modern method of fumigation would kill lt. Of course, fumigation ls never resorted to, for the cigarette "fiend" is oblivious to hiB own bad odor, and consequently it never oc curs to him that he is anything but a "sweet-smelling" savor in the nos trils of others. There are, of course, some few execeptlons. For those there ls hope. Some years ago the editor of the Southern Druggist ad dressed a few lines in this column to the o'garette-srnoklng drug e?*?rk. calling his attention to the "impres sion" he make*, on thoso of his cus tomers who do not smoke cigarettes. A prominent New York magazine copied our lines, and placed over them this caption: "Tho Human Polecat!" Think lt over, Mr. Cigarette Fiend! THE CLEMSON TRUSTEES MEET.

Milan, Italy, July IC.-Au Ameri can physician, James Woods Bab vock, superintendent of tho State Hospital for the Insane at Columbia, S. C., has succeeded In solving the question which has been under in vestigation for a long time as to whether the disease pellagra, com mon among the peasants in Italy and the south of Europe, exists in the United States. Dr. Babcock, who has been aided In his researches by the Italian authorities has .proved that the Italian pellagra and a disease common in the Southern States hav ing almost identical symptoms, are olio and the same. The disease pellagra, which is also called Italian leprosy, Alplue scurvy and Asturlnu rose, is accom panied by a redd?ning of the skin and sometimes a hypotrophy of the skin and marked mental symptoms, and lt is sa.d to be caused by poisonous maze taken as food.
