At the conference in Columbia
last week in regard to pellagra

the most prominent doctors of

brought to light that could definitely
place the cause of this!
dreadful disease.

a cargo of 6,000 bales of cotton,

at sea about 40 out from Charleston
port. The captain and his

Labor troubles Tuesday forced
the Judson Mills, one of the
largest cotton manufacturing
concerns in Greenville to close
down. Some 850 operatives are
affected. Manufacturers of that
city say there was a possibility
of trouble in 13 other mills near
Greenville. Unions it was said

The committee appointed to investigate
the official conduct of
or mayor c. a. urirntn 01 Columbia,
made its report to a citizens'
meeting at the court house
at that place Friday night, stating
that they found his conduct
"unbecoming his official position."

Isenhower Case Next Month.
Considerable interest surrounds
the famous Isenhower trial to be
heard in York next month when
the three men will be placed on
trial for their lives, charged
+ with the murder of Sheriff Hood
of Fairfield county, one of his
deputies, and a negro prisoner.
Some of the best legal talent in
this immediate section will be
engaged in the trial and it will
be hard-fought if present indications
count for anything.
While there is irreat interest
v- - _
at York, riot many comments are
heard as tc opinions on the guilt

Doc Bailey Killed at Lancaster.
A special despatch to The State
from Lancaster says that Policeman
Conner of the Lancaster
cotton mill village Monday mornins
shot and almost instantly
killed Doc Bailey, an employe of
the cotton mill. Conner had arretted
Bailey some time previous
to the shooting on the charge of
drunkenness and disorderly conduct
and Monday morning was
set for the trial. When Conner
went for Bailev in order to brimr
him before the court it was said
that Bailey upon seing the policeman
approaching:, secured his
shotgun and covered the officer
with it. He was said to have attempted
to shoot the officer, snapping
the gun twice which failed
each time to go off, Conner pulling
his pistol in the meantime
and firing three shots into
Bailey's body. Conner was arrested.
but was released later in
the day on bail in the sum of
$1,000, granted by Judge Moore.
Many Deaths While Trespassing.
Making a plea for the conservation
of human life Prosi.
dent Fairfax Harrison, of the
Southern Railway Company,
states that during the fiscal year,
j ended June 30, 147 trespassers
were killed on the tracks of
Southern Railway. Mr. Harri!
son urges the development of a
public sentiment that will put an
end to the hazardous practice of
trespassing on railway property.
"We have prepared a map
showing the point at which each
trespasser was killed on the
Southern Railway during the
last year and it looks like a map
of the monuments on the Chickamauga
battlefield," said Mr.
Harrison. "Fully one-third of
those killed were school boys,
'hopping' trains, and a large
percentage were valuable wageearners,
walking on the tracks
to and from their work. Very
few were tramps in thecommonly
accepted meaning of the term.
"These figures refer solely to
persons walking on tracks,
swinging on trains, and other
wiac uiiruuiiiK on railway property
where they have no right
or business and do not include
persons killed at crossings or
| those who for any reason have a
right or duty to go upon railway
property."

cation. j

celior, will shortly submit to
President Wilson and Kin#
Alfonso of Spain an outline of
conditions on which Germany
might be disposed to discuss
peace terms.
The dispatch gives as authority

Prince von Buelow.
Charges Cotton Combine.
The national federal trade
commission Saturday ordered an
immediate investigation of an
alleged combination in North
and South Carolina and Georgia,
; among the cotton buyers to hold
down the price of the staple. It
is alleged that the territory has
been divided and only one buyer
for each district, probably thus
killing competetive bidding.
Miss Kittie Kirkpatrick, of
Statesville, N. C., spent the
week-end with her parents in

DANIELS' PROGRAM ASKS
HALF BILLIOIMN 5 YEARS
Official estimates of the navy's
part in the administration's billion
dollar national defense program
have been made public by
I Secretary Dar.iels. They showthat
within five years it is proposed
to srend $502,482,214 on
construction of new ships, developmevt
of aircraft and creation
r. a huge reserve of ammuni*.on
and guns for the navy.
T'.ie five-year building pro
_,iaiu i-uuiempiaies construction |
of ten dreadnoughts, six battle
cruisers, ten scout cruisers, 50
! destroyers, 15 sea-going submarines,
85 coast defense submarines,
four gunboats, one
hospital ship, two ammunition
ships, two fuel oil ships and one
repair ship. The last of the
vessels will be built and in commission
late in 1924. The above
figures, with the addition of
$48,518,128 for completion of
ships already constructed or
under construction, make up the
total of more than $500,000,000
to be expended upon the navy
in addition to the regular budget,
which approximates $100,000,000
a year.
Secretary Daniels will recommend
this winter the addition to
the navy of 7,500 bluejackets,
2,500 apprentices and 1,500 marines,
a total of 11,500 men.
With this addition to the personnel
it is estimated that all
battlesbins nnf mnrp fVion

built within 12 years,
half* of the cruisers and all of
the gunboats and necessary fleet
auxiliaries, can be manned and

South Carolina Hunting Laws.
Mr. A. A. Richardson, chief
game warden of South Carolina,
has just asked The News to inform
its readers with regard to
the new game law passed by the
last South Carolina legislature.
It seems that the sportsman
from this State runs risk of
arrest and heavy fine unless he
provides himself with a South
Carolina license before crossing
the border. These licenses cost
$15.25. This license is necessary
even though an invitation has
been extended by some South
Carolina landlord to come over
and hunt on his premises. A
violation of this license law on
the part of non-residents of
South Carolina is punishable by
a fine of from one hundred to
five hundred dollars.
Heretofore 110 license was required
and those who received
invitations to cross the border
and go after game were at
liberty to do so. Now one must
consult the game warden or
clerk of court of any South Carolina
town and procure the necessary
license, that is unless he
