According to reports submitted to the state health department there are . .some 50 or 60 cases of pellagra of \ recent development in Ae Horse Creek Valliy, near Aiken. When1the \ i .announcement came from the White 'i House that there was grave danger of \ a -serious recurrence of pellagra in > \ 1 * the South, there was much weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth , throughout tl>e South, and most JSoijthern newspaper threw conniption fits. The Dispatch-News and the Abbeville Press and. Banner, so far as we can recall, were the only papers which conceded that there might be a * grain of truth in the statement made v- . by the public health service. This newspaper pointed particularly to the Horse Creek Valley,, because we lefiew that there had been a good deal of unemployment in that section, Dr. Hayden~of the state board of health reports, however, that the mills, on which the people of this community ared ependent for a living are now running full time and the danger is fcpsened. There is no starvation in the South, but there has been a good deal of distress as a result of unem ployment, a condition in no wise confined to the Southr We are thankful i m that the worst seems now to be over. _ FARlSW frJYL PFiAfT^.

England offered every. tfe&ng that was compatible with the integrity of the empire and the acceptance of her offer would have meant tranquility to the harrassed people of one of the earth's choice spots. Ireland's refusal can only ' mean ^he resumption of a. warfare -#hich? for the past two years has stained tlse world's history.- On the part of England this warfare must be intensified to a degree sufficient to suppress a turbulent population, who are never satisfied with peace. Be "fojje the world England has set herr,c4 straight and little sympathy will J he wasted upon the stiff-necked* and 1 elBellious people who with a grand ge&ura threw/away a real- opportunK , ity to live in peace witty her neighbor.

When the bowels are constipated, the lower bowels or large intestines become packed with refuse matter, that is made up largely of germs. These germs enter the vermiform appendix and set inflammation, which is commonly known as appendicitis. Take Chamberlain's Tablets when needed and keep your bowels regular and you have little to fear from appendicitis. CORRECTION. The article contributed by J.
