Scraps and facts. ? Wide divergence as to the correctness of the theory that pellagra was due to a lack of protein diet, advised by Dr. Joseph Goldberger of the United States public health service, marked an extended discussion last Tuesday of Dr. Goldberger's experiments before the annual meeting of the Tri-State Medical association, in session at Memphis, Tenn. Dr. Geo. Baskerville of Winona, Miss., declared arguments in favor of the dietary theory "totally untenable," and asserted that experiments conducted by Dr. Goldberger were of too short duration. Dr. B. H. Booth of Drew, Miss., contended that his experience in the Mississippi delta was at variance with the Goldberger theory. "I want to ont?r mv nrntest aeainst this adver Using that the south is starving her people." declared J. L. Jelks of Memphis. "At the convention of the Southern Medical association in Dallas last week. I saw several millionaires. pellagra sufferers, who are certainly not too poor to buy something to eat." Dr. Jelks declared the fly a distributing agent of the disease. ? American Ambassador Penfleld on Wednesday, cabled the state department an official statement concerning the sinking of the Italian steamship Ancona which had been handed him by the Austrian foreign office, apparently before he received the department's instructions, cabled Tuesday, to seek the Vienna version of the tragedy. The text of the communication virtually is identical to that given out in Vienna by the Austrian admiralty and sent to this country by wireless from Berlin. It says that the Ancona fled at full speed when a warning shot was fired across her bow and it denies the allegations of the Italian government that the steamer was shelled after she had come to a standstill and that other shots were fired at life-boats and at persons swimming in the sea. After the receipt of the report it became known that Secretary Lansing considered that the state department now had in its possession sufficient official information to form the basis of an inquiry of Austria-Hungary regarding its attitude toward the conduct of submarine warfare. The secretary indicated. however, that no communication would go forward until a reply had been made to questions submitted to nfflca hv Ambus lilt? AUOll 1CVII 4V? VI0*? VM?W ~ J - - sad or Penfleld. It is presumed that the cablegram directing the ambassador to ask (or specific and detailed information crossed in transmission the dispatch received Wednesday. ? A tentative draft of the new government ship purchase bill which will be urged by the administration at the coming session of congress was considered last Wednesday at a conference at the treasury department. Secretary Redfield and Solicitor Thurman of the department of commerce, went over the proposed measure with Secretary McAdoo. The draft follows the lines suggested by Secretary McAdoo in a recent speech outlining the purposes of the administration as to naval auxiliaries and the upbuilding of the American merchant marine. Before the measure is put in final form to be presented to congress, it will be laid before President Wilson for his approval. The plan described by Mr. McAdoo in his speech contemplated the expenditure of $50,000,000 by a government shipping board consisting of the secretary of the navy, the secretary of commerce and three other members to be nominated by the president. The board would be empowered to organize a corporation, tQ subscribe to its capital stock, and to vote the stock purchased in elections for directors. Through this corporation the board would maintain shipping lines, operating or leasing them to private concerns. Secretary McAdoo also suggested that the board be given authority to reform shipping rules and regulations, study shipping problems and make recommendations to congress looking toward establishment . of a strong merchant marine. ? "Our expedition in the Balkans is reaching a critical stage," telegraphs the correspondent at Saloniki, Greece, of the Paris Journal under date of Sunday. He adds: "Notwithstanding appeals by competent personalities our re-inforeement8 are not anything like the number required. Our enemies have decided to nip in the bud at any cost our offensive in the east and are prepared to resort to any means to obtain the necessary assistance. I hope that this formula is well understood. Serbian resistance is weakening daily. The defenders of Babuna pass will soon be surrounded and the road to Prilep and Monastir will then be thrown wide open to the Bulgarians. The hosts of Austro-Germans hurried southward sending detachments ahead by forced marches on all available routes. Do not expect to find a second Belgium. Greece will not hesitate to permit passage by the enemy through her territory as she now permits ours. We must defend ourselves alone and unaided against the triple attack of the Germans, Bulgarians and Turks. The enemy's plan is being carried out and may be reaiized rapidly. The German fleet of submarines in the Mediterranean has just been quintupled. I advance nothing whereof I am not absolutely sure. We must be prepared for any news, even the most unexpected and even that which seems the craziest. We must have re-inforcements in large numbers at once or re-imbark while there is vet time." ? Representative Claude Kitchin, majority leader of the house, who opposes the administration national defense programme, has declared to a constituent his belief that it will succeed by an "overwhelming majority." In a letter written a few days ago by Representative Kitchin to Charles LCoon of Wilson, N. C.. the new majority leader says: "I shall oppose the big army and navy programme with all the earnestness and power I possess. However, my fear is that the president will push it through by an overwhelming majority. In the first place, practically all the Republicans will vote for it. In the second place, although I know that the convictions of fourfifths of the Democrats are opposed to it, many of them?I fear a large majority?will fling away their convictions on this question to please the president and do his will, as I have seen them do it on two or three occasions before." Representative Kitchin declares that the programme "at one bound, in one year, increases our naval appropriation more than our total increase for the last fourteen years; more than the increase by Germany the whole fifteen years preceding the European war, and more than the combined increase of all the nations of the world in any one year of their history." The North Carolina congressman asserts that "this sudden, radical and stupendous move for war preparation is going to shock the civilized world, and, whatever be the outcome of the present war. will alarm the world again into an armed camp." ? If Lloyd-George, says a London letter, will permit the women of England to win the war for the Allies by solving the question of munitions, they'll do it, they say. Two million of them say it. Under the increasing pressure they are bringing to bear on the minister of munitions, he is showing a disposition to give them a try. They have pointed out to Lloyd-George that England has at least 2,000,000 women who can devote their entire time to shell making. Every woman, they insist, can make at least one shell a day. That means 2,000,000 shells a day, a number far beyond Lloyd-George's extravagant estimate of England's needs. The women would like to undertake the job for the Allies. Recently a military expert established that the French consumption of shells in July was 100,000 a day. It is certain that it is not now over 1,000,000 a day. This would leave a daily surplus of another million per day to pass around to the other Allies. The women say that after LloydGeorge, their next greatest obstacle has been the engineer employers at the munition factories who have used them for fuse making and light electrical work but decline to give them charge of the heavy machine tools. Just to show them how wrong they were, the women at last succeeded in arranging for a full experiment in several of the factories testifying bo h to their ability and capacity for any branch of shell making. They are de dared to have done their work with ar exactitude, thoroughness and cons< ientiousness that could not be ex celled. They put into it brain as well as muscle. In one factory where women were employed exclusively, the output showed a quality superior to that for which it was designed. The women are admitted to have become skilled in far shorter time than is required by men. A week's tuition is quite sufficient to initiate a woman Into every process of complete shell making, equipping her to begin with a plain bar of steel and put it through all the successive stages of turning, boring, screwing and fitting the band and the plug. She showed equal ability in the factories making munitions machines. <?kc llorkiiUr (ifnqnim. Entered at the Postofflce at York as Mail Matter of the Second Class. YORK, S. C.: FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1915. No country on earth yields richer rewards to intelligent industry than this. The day of the big farm seems to bs almost past. The small farm is the thing and the more the better. The A. R. P. synod may not find Yorkville as homelike as Due West, but it will find Yorkville as homelike as any other town it has ever visited. Judge Mendel L. Smith, like President Wilson, seems to think that the people should give more attention as to the selection of jurors. And really, the subject is a very important one. The North Carolina State Farmers' Union, in session at Durham, on yesterday adopted resolutions expressing itself as emphatically against increased appropriations for army and navy purposes. Italy is talking of declaring war against Germany because of the sinking of the Italian steamer by a German submarine. As to what difference such a declaration would make we cannot understand. The treasury department continues to consider the cotton future act as of full force, regardless of the recent decision of Judge C. M. Hughes of the United States district court, pending a review of the matter by the supreme court of the United States. "Every man has a right to live in this country; but no man has a right to loaf in it." says Judge Mendel L. Smith. If South Carolina would adopt this as her slogan and live up to it, she would soon make "German efficiency" look like child's play. The cold weather has failed to put up the price of cotton just at this time and the indications are that the bear interests have big enough supplies on hand to enable them to "sell the market" to at least a very considerable extent. Among the most notable things lor which the United States has reason to be thankful is that it is not mixed up as an actual principal in this European war. It would be better, perhaps, if we should have less to do with the war than we have been having to do with it. The Upper South Carolina Methodist conference convenes in Spartanburg next Tuesday. At the last meeting of the conference the body was divided by a line running through the center of the state. The counties to the north of the line are included in the Upper South Carolina conference, and the counties to the south of the line are included in a conference that holds the old name?"The South Carolina conference." We are printing today a communication from W. T. Walker of Greenville. setting forth the issues involved in the trouble between the Judson mill of Greenville and its operatives. Mr. Walker puts it up to us that all 1 " o ban rlnp" ins pt'upie air aaMiift iui ?o ?. uvu??w0 at the hands of the people of the state, and because he has the reputation of being a safe and sane leader of high principles, we feel that it is nothing more than right to give it to him. His communication speaks for itself. According to his presentation of the case, there is no question of wages involved; but only the right of the mill workers to organize for the promotion of their industrial, social and material welfare. This right is guaranteed by the laws of the state, and in our opinion it is well founded on principles of justice and liberty. Of course, there is opposition to unionism. which has not yet secured a firm foothold in this state; but the right of lab(jf to organize is being recognized by fair minded, intelligent people everywhere, and we are inclined to think that if the Judson mill people will continue to persevere in their efforts and refrain from violence, they will eventually win. But that they have a hard road to travel under the circumstances, goes without saying. It is quite evident that there is going to be a bjg fight in congress over the question of spending something like a billion dollars in preparation for war. The president is committed ??-I_ 11-.. 1 . .1 1 !_ hi una puiiuj unu <1 awuiiK tinu influential section of the business interests of the country is with him. Mr. Kitchin. the Democratic leader of the house, is opposed to it. and he also has quite a following which is being ably backed up by Mr. Bryan and others. The common belief is that the Republicans will vote with the president, especially since they have no real responsibility in the matter. What is the right thing to do is a most serious problem. It is reasonably certain that this country is not now prepared for war in trained men, arms or equipment like any of the foreign countries, and it is reasonably certain that any foreign country could give us a lot of trouble before we could get down to business, if it could get over here. There is considerable doubt as to whether any foreign country could ever get to us to do much good, except through Canada or Mexico. Our coast cities might be laid under tribute for a time; but it would probably be only a matter of time before we could be able to relieve them. However, that is not the point so much. The real point is whether it would be best to go on as we are going and depend upon our ability to conduct ourselves in a wav that will avoid war. or go ahead with the increase of army and navy, and along with it public sentiment to an extent that might eventually make war inevitable. This question of increasing: the army and navy is easily the biggest question that will come befor the next congress. While in Greenville recently, the editor of The Enquirer had the pleasure of being: shown through the Greenville News building by Mr. G. W. Brunson, the editor of that paper. Mr. Brunson decided about a new building about three years ago, and he went into the enterprise on quite an ambitious scale, putting up a handsome six-story structure that ranks with the handsomest and most expenI oiifo KniMincra nf the oltv. Altoeether he spent about one hundred thousand dollars and he made a complete job of the building from cellar to roof. In planning the big building, due allowance was made for the future growth of the paper, and two-thirds more room was provided than is necessary for present purposes. All the surplus room is rented to good tenants at a rate that gives the Daily News its own quarters practically without cost. The equipment and conveniences of the newspaper, .however, are all that could be desired for a Journal of its excellent claps and standing, and taken altogether. Editor Brunson has achieved an undertaking of which he well has a right to be proud. He does not hesitate to say, however, that the period of depression immediately following the breaking out of the European war, took several years off his life, on account of the exceedingly close margin by which he was able to pull through. The News is one of the few daily papers in South Carolina that is run on a strictly cash basis and another peculiarity is that altogether it has less than a dozen exchanges. Care of the Teeth. The greatest drawback to modern dentistry is a foolish notion of ethics that prevents the members of the profession from advertising. Because the ethics of the profession prevent the members thereof from advertising dentistry perhaps, does not receive as much attention from the newspapers as would otherwise be the case. Tnia is natural enuugu, t-uumci but not altogether defensible, because the real sufferer in the premises is not so much the dentists and the newspapers as the general public. While, of course, a considerable percentage of people have a fairly comprehensive knowledge of the possibilities of dentistry?enough people, maybe, to keep the dentists fairly busy? the majority of the people are without such knowledge. Dentistry probably has made more progress during the past fifty years than either surgery or medicine, and nowadays It Is recognized that many ills of the body, like rheumatism and headache, defective eyesight are often traceable to bad teeth, and any up-todate dentist is able to remove the trouble with but little difficulty. There are certain troubles with which the medical practitioners used to struggle in vain; but which they now send to the dentist with a certainty of relief. Up to a few years back the only thing the dentist knew to do with an abcessing tooth was to wait until the abcess was ripe enough to open and then go into it with a lance. There has been many a wretched life on this account, through ignorance, and which seem not to occur now for the reason that any dentist wno Knowp his business pretty well can, if given the case in time, head off an abcess in the forming. It used to be that the only thing to be done for an aching tooth was to pull it out; but now all dentists know how to stop the aching, remove the nerve and preserve the tooth for years, and often this can be done without pain. Up to a few years ago, what is known as Riggs disease of the gums, a most disagreeable, upsetting and painful disorder, Vfas absolutely incurable. Now any modern dentist, well up with his profession, will promise with assurance, an absolute cure. People often suffer tortures with their teeth simply because they are ignorant of the fact that relief may be easily affected by those who know how, and most dentists know how. It was Wm. H. Vanderbilt, we believe, who gave expression to the truism that it is of little use to have anything that is of more value to some one else than it is to yourself, ?nlooo vaii nHvertiao th? nnaapkalnr in such a way as to bring the knowledge to the other fellow. No, we are not quarreling with the dentists in this matter. We are merely trying to give the public a hint as to what Is in store for it if it will look into the matter. WOULD ABOLISH OFFICE Effort Being Made to Oust Comptroller John Skelton Williams. Abolition of the office of comptroller of the currency, which has direct supervision over the operation of all national banks, was proposed today to the Federal reserve board by the advisory council, created by the Federal reserve act to advise the board on matters of importance to the reserve banking system, says a Washington dispatch of Tuesday. The recommendation was adopted at a meeting attended by nine of the twelve members of the council and the vote is understood to have been unanimous. Later it was discussed briefly by the board itself, though no action was taken. The council recently was asked to submit to the board suggestions as to legislation to be urged upon congress at the coming session, and to this task today's meeting largely was devoted. It is said the members agreed that the office of comptroller had been made unnecessary by the establishment of the reserve system, and that there was bound to be duplication of work since examinations of national banks, one of the principal functions of the comptroller's office, may be conducted by agents of the reserve board at the request of a reserve bank. An alternative proposal was made that if the office be not abolished, the examination of member banks, including national banks, should be made in the future exclusively by examiners of the Doara. mere nave Deen reports ior sometime that an effort would be made to abolish the office of comptroller or to curtail its power, and it is understood that several members of the board would not be opposed to such a change. The council recommended also amendments to the reserve act to permit member banks to subscribe to the stock of joint branches in foreign countries, particularly South and Central America; to permit national banks to open branches in cities in the United States and to permit member banks to count Federal reserve notes as reserve. Several other suggestions considered of minor importance were advanced. There was a general discussion of requests from the board for opinions on how to reduce the existing overexpansion in loans and how to guard against evil effects that may be expected to result to the financial interests of this country following the European war. Each of the reserve banks designates a member of the council. Those attending today were J. R. Forgan, Chicago; D. G. Wing, Boston; W. S. Rowe. Cleveland; O. I?. Seay, Richmond; C. A. Lyerly, Atlanta; C. T. Jaffray, Minneapolis; E. F. Swinney, Kansas City; J. H. Ardrey, Dallas, and Archibald Kains, San Francisco. J. P. Morgan of New York. Levi L. Rue of Philadelphia, and Rolla Wells of St. Louis, were not present. LOCAL AFFAIRS.

Had such a platform been established ten years ago. the v probability is that the business of the town would be twice what It is at the \ present time. The Yorkville people who went over 8 to Wlnthrop last Monday were car- a ried away with the eloquent arguments of the Great Commoner. One man a said: "I believe I could have listened to him for three hours without grow- a ing tired,'* and another said, "I could hardly restrain myself from following T Mr. Bryan to Charlotte." There is plenty of room for any en- t terprlsing Individual to get any of the 8 premiums that are being ofTered by The Yorkville Enquirer. While quite ^ a large number of names have*been returned, it is still within the power a of anybody to wln?the largest premi- t urns, and there is hardly a community in the county where one cannot z hope to secure enough names to get a ^ ten-piece dinner set. On Tuesday afternoon, Mr. J. C. h Wallace of Ycrkville, brought to The 8 Enquirer office an advertisement ad- g vising that he had found an overcoat r which the owner could have by paying for the advertisement. On yes- v terday a card was received from J. J. J Byers of Yorkville, asking that The Enquirer advertise the fact that he 4] had lost an overcoat and would pay a reward to the finder. It is evidently c the same overcoat, so we are leaving s C out both advertisements. *Reports from several people who ^ have earned copies of our Premier I dictionary either by collecting coupons 1 or returning and paying for subscrib- ^ era are to the effect that they are ^ much pleased with the book.

FOX HUNTER AND HI8 DOG E "Take fox hunters all around, they v are a pretty good lot of folk; honest, ^ square, upright people and all that, F but some of them will steal a dog? h just simply can't help it," remarked J Mr. J. Bolivar Scott of the Philadel- ^ phia section yesterday afternoon in is conversation with an Enquirer repdrter b and Supervisor Boyd. "iBn't that so, Tom" queried Mr. Scott of the bu- \ pervisor. "You are a fox hunter. X Wouldn't you steal a good dog if you took a liking to him and had a c chance?"' "Well, I don't know, you * mustn't crowd me loo close," replied v the lutter with a smile. "I'm not say- G ing." J Mr. Scott was talking about his fine ? fox dog, "Joe," a large black hound ? which he prized highly and which dis- ? appeared irom his home on October 4, u and has not since been heard from, although Mr. Scott has advertised for him in The Enquirer and made inquiry ? in various other ways. "There is no 11 telling what has become of him," continued Mr. Scott. "He may be in Ala- \] bama or some other seaport. Joe was 1 ?.he best fox dog in this country and ? you couldn't much blame a fox huntcr for taking him. Still 1 would like 11 io have him back powerful bad?so r< bad that I would not mind giving $10 j1 for information leading to his recov- , .?-y. ! "A man told me the other day," con- 11 linued Mr. Scott, "that he believed he knew where Joe was. 'This dog I saw S looked much like Joe and it is a great h 'possum dog,' said my informant. No,' n I replied, 'that isn't Joe. He's got too ii i.iucn self-respect and is too proud of F .us blood to hunt 'possums.' " tl i\.r Sn..tt said he believed thai anme D one has stolen Joe. He does not see g now it would be possible for him to V remain lost otherwise. "He's hunting "i foxes every day or two now, I guess," \ ne said, "and whoever has him has If aure got a dog. I have seen lots of k good dogs but none better than Joe. w His daddy was a good dog and so was I3 nis mammy." c "His daddy was a better dog than h he is," said Mr. Boyd. w "No," replied Mr. Scott. fi "Yes, but I knew them both," argu- \ ed the supervisor. a "1 know," continued Mr. Scott, "but you never saw them both together, be- w cause Joe's daddy or his mammy either couldn't keep up with him, he was so p last. Kox hunters do like good dogs y and they will do anything most to tl get their hands on them. They will tl buy them if they can, but if they can't n ?well, it's a good idea to keep your M dog chuined. I remember several di rears ago, Mr. J. W. Betts had a dog tamed Fly, kin to Joe and about as rood a dog. Thero was a fellow over ibou* Vaylor's, where my son-in-law, toy Ferguson lives, who was a great ox hunter. Roy knew of Mr. Bett's Hy and this fellow I have In mind, a ail road conductor, nad a female dog >f a fine pedigree. He got me to get dr. Betts to send Fly over for a few lays, which Mr. Betts consented to do. V. few days later this conductor wrote dr. Betts, asking him to let him keep ^y a few days longer. They wanted 0 have a race or two. Mr. Betts consented. A few days later he received vord that Fly had been run over by 1 train or something. That was all hey ever heard of Fly. Never could ind his grave or anything. I guess he's ox nunung in ^Treeiiviuts uuumj nountains now. "Joe is not dead," declared Mr. Scott, with assurance. "Somebody's rot him. Maybe they have cut his ail, clipped his ears or something. 1 lon't know. Anyway, I have got $10 or the person who can give me inormation concerning him." Mr. Scott and a party went fox tunting Tuesday night and succeeded n catching their fox. But they missed Joe" all the same. ABOUT PEOPLE Dr. R. H.

Most cows go to that land where all good cows go j when they have spent some 14 or 15 years here. However Mr. T. F. Jack- " son of Clover is the owner of a ^ gentle milker that has already seen 27 new crops of spring grass, and if t* appearances count for anything she ( is good for a great many more. There r is no doubt about the cow's age. She f is a registered Jersey and Mr. r Jackson has the papers. He has had e the animal about two years, having j purchased her from Mr. Tom Craig of ^ Gastonla. She is a handsome animal, j la rarer than thn a voraffP row and ahOWS , her pure strain In every vein and fibre, i When Mr. Jackson purchased the f cow two years ago, she weighed about r 700 pounds. Now she weighs 1,100 and Is still putting on weight. She gives about one gallon and a half of milk each day. Prominent Rock Hill Man Dead. J Mr. J.
