PELLAGRA.
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.

Wave taken upon themselves a grave
responsibility. 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

Cause of Appendicitis.
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. Belton
Shealy of White Rock, last week,
mentioning his kind remembrances of
his old friends etc., in Lexington, the
printer signed his name J. Breton
Shealy when it should have been J.
"Belton Shealy, who is still very pleasantly
remembered here by his old
.friends and who appreciate very
much his kind references.
