The cotton need oil and corn oil product* UKt'd in cooking are the cause of pellagra, 1h the theory ad 'vaneed by1 Dr. George C.* Mltell, of Atlanta. Thin is of Interest tq many| Rome people, owing to the fact that about tweUty deaths from this di sease have occurred during the last few months, and that there are said to by nearly fifty cases o{ pellagra in Rome and,, surrounding territory says tlie Home (Oa.) Tribune-Her ald. N Dr. Mlzeil la associated with Dr. Clarence Johnson in a sanitarium in .Atlanta, whore many Romans have on for treatment: and in personal Iy well known In Rome. It 1h said that tKy sanitarium' htm successfully treated nearly one hundred ca?GH of pellagra with calcium sulphide. The theory first advanced In re gard to pellagra waa that It?was duo to the outing of spoiled corn. In bread and other forms. There la also a theory that It 1b due? to the - bite of. a fly that breeds in low, ..swampy lands, and at the recent meeting of the (Georgia Medical As sociation In Rome the udhcrentB of the two theories had a lively debate - Tht*r? also a theory-being advanc ed that pellagra Is nothing else than the old-fashioned scurvy in a -modified form. o Heretofore, cotton seed meal, oil cottolatto and -/other such prodx' - hay-e-been considered yery_.V fiXpv- Miaell's theory is ing at any rate, an^^ry interest gations will be lit' with interest } ?} ^further investi _ , Ivaited by the pub "iut 11 as everyone Is aim lie aiacoverejjS? for po|lugra a The ? ?f*'ne*?Snta Journal- Record of - 8 M Acc^ 1,118 th? followl?R on the i zell, We?rding to'pr.

The three oils, that A\ (we a marked amount of Linolin ' ? a'ilycoride of Wnollc acid) are oil rd.f maize, oil of sesame and cotton C,ch ?ed oil. The Liinolln is the drying ^constituent of these oils,. This oxi ties readily in the ays-em and the itftzation products are the cau^ pellagra. The first two oils have i helon for centuries in Asia and Eu !r JT PB an(* would seen,. to account for o.^fthe prevalence of pellagra, especial ly in Italy, Spain ai/d France, where ^ they are employed ho extensively to ^'adulterate olive oi^ t j Dr. Mi/ell; clalifs that there are i ^50,000 cases of Mbllagra In Georgia netto-day. He endy&vors to show that the appearancept this dread disease was colncldentiwlth the introduction of cotton se^dJoil industry, and the Increase hasJfeen exceedingly rapid since 1908, which time hog lard was advanced in prices and cotton seed oil <^pe into more general use.

In view of the fuel that the vot ers of Camden will booh he called upon to decide a question of very ?}rave Importance to every taxpayer in this city, namely: franchise or no franchise to thtf Water, Light and Ic4 Co., and If no franchise, the question of a bond luaue of not less than one hundred thousand dollars, out of which to provide water and lights for the municipality, thereby fixing a permanent tuX of 5 mills ott the present taxable value of the pro perty of the city with practically no lower rutes ou water and lights to the private consumer than would be required under the proponed con truct with the Water, Light & Ice Co.. X desire briefly to explain m.\ pOriitiuU. I favor granting the franchise be cause I believe It a highly dangerous experiment in our presqnt financiS^ co.idi.:on with a high rate of taxa tion to risk a bond Issue of 100,000 and take chances of making a huc cobsful vonturo in installing a plant under municipal ownership. Some month* ago i was invited b one of the purchasers of the Cam den Water, Light and Ice Co., to make an inveBtmont |U the forma tion of a new stock company. With no serious intention of A doing bo, hut at their "solicitation, I examinee t,)io booku showing accounts of re-_ celpta and disbursements for-- " yoars back and bomc find where th m ^?^he^oould I Paiy earnings had ever ^ dividend on the Btock, 1 ..erofore declined. Recently, since they decided to or 'gaiilZo it themselves and apply for a franchise I was called upon by one of their number and told that in their proposed organization they de | sired to have local representation, and was Invited to nerve in sucli ca pacity. To this I conyented, and my name appears on their books as the holder of < one share of stock of the par value of one hundred dol lars. This represents my pecuniary interest hi the Camden Water, l,igh & Ice Co., and if by such liohMng I shall have enough influence to . be of service to my fellow townsmen t In helping to secure good Bervice ' and keeping down friction ? this, 1 and this alone, being my motive? 1 shall not regret the investment, even though I should ultimately lose it. As to any financial betterment . to myself because of this investment 1 may safely promise 'to donate it to any charitable institution his Honor, the Mayor, may designate, and agre. to do so. Having had the opportunity of looking the books, plant and esti mates of contemplated improve ments absolutely necessary over, an being fully satisfied that it was not a safe or sound investment for' ray monety, I am fully persuaded that It would prove a dangerous one for tho municipality and aB a taxpayer, think it the better part of wisdom to vote for the franchise.

What more'does man want? "j This weOk the red shirts meet la Columbia. It calls to mind to many tho stirring tlmeS"?* of 1876. The meet'ng in Camden in October of , that year will ever be remembered by the old folks as one to never be seen* again,* A' ?long line of red shirts was formed* up Ma1iir~ street and when Gen. Hampton arrived, all wont to Hampton grove where the speaking was to be. A good many colored people were present, and during Gen. -Hampton's Bpeocli neveral of them would reach up and shako, his hand and tell him they would vote for him,-^--Gen. Jamea Conner was with his soldiers and ro ceivod such' a greeting as any sol dier should he proud of. Judge Cooke, one of. the radical judges of this State, made a flno speech In support of Gen. Hampton, other fine addresses were made. After the barbecue, a torch light proces sion was formed and paraded the streets.. It was a beautiful sight, when once Gen. Kershaw, Judge Lelghtner,' Gen. Kennedy and Oth ers spoke, all were full of hope and enthusiasm that we would redeem the State, Generals Hampton and Kershaw cautioned all to bo care ful ahd commit no act that would warrant the interference of the fed eral government,- Gen. Hampton had mhny beautiful flowers sent hir by the ladies of Camden, the per fume of them was felt all around the stand. I oould tell far much more about the incidsntp of that day, but it will makp this letter too long. Moat of those who were so active In redeeming the State have gone to their reward. Major E. B. Cantey, I think, was one of tho juarchers of that day, and he is still here andweLope for a long time to come. This may be ancient his tory; but it is new to the young, who should learn what their fathers did in redeeming the State for civ ilization altd good government. BUhopvillc Wins. ?

Paul Deattle con fessed to a coroner's Jury that he ?tnirHidSfod the gun that was found on t he boV. 'We r;,M way t-"Ck? morning after the murder, and stat ed that he bought it at the instance of Henry Clay Beattie, Jr. To the pawnbroker of whom it was bought he stated that he wanted it' to use in connection with duties an a watch" man on Mayo's bridge?a public 1 highway that spans the river be tween North, and South Richmond. Through Beulah Binford the State will seek to establish a motive for the crime. The defense has not intimated what lino of tactics it will pursue, though .it, admittedly, has room to pick to pieces the strong chain forg ed by detectives and prosecutors. For instance, Henry Beattie, Jr., was soaked with blood when ho re turned to his wife's parents' home with the body, while the gun was ifound 16- miles up the belt line tracks. To have been placed by him it woUid have had to be thrown from the automobile and therefore would most likely show bloodstains. None were found. Other weak points aro apparant. Just to the rear of the courthouse proper, within the same enclosure, is situated the little jail in which the prisoner and. principal witnesses are held. It, too, is of red brick. It Is a two-story affair, (hough very small. Beulah Binford occupies the firBt floor front room, which is the most spacious and altogether the most comfortable. Paul Bcattle is on the same floor, but to the rear. The accused is held in a room at tho center of tho building, on the id floor, and Is guaVded night and day, as are tho others. Just off from the courthouse prob ably 50 feet away, is an old fashion ed country store, and into this have been run wires, which have been leased by the metropolitan dailies and the big press associations. From yitn quiet little spot, throe miles form an electric or> steaip railway line, will go news that will" bo read by the public far and wide. Good Itoad? Train.
