Last year, and ever since the Din

by the Dingley tariff for many years,

THE HOOK WORM

THE SOUTHERN STATES.
SHORT
A Trotted Mao of Andtrson
Ruins His
by Perry Woods, the little son of Mr.
and Mrs. Frank Woods, left their
home Monday afternoon at about 2
o'clock and strolled down to a lake
on Brushy Fork creek in Mr. Mill’s
pasture. By and by little Perry
Woods returned alone; the afternoon
wore away, and still the other two
boys didn’t come home. The parents
naturally became alarmed, and the
Woods boy was questioned as to
where they were. No satisfactory
Information could be obtained from
him, however, and Messrs. Ell Wilks,
J. B. Carter and others organised a
party and proceeded to the swimming
place to look for them, fears being
had from the first that some accident
had befallen them on the creek.
Their clothes were found on the
bank of the lake, which Is about 150
feet long and several feet deep In
places and the search began. All
the party were good swimmers, and
but little difficulty was experienced
In finding the bodies and bringing
them to the shore.
The two boys were found only
about four feet apart. One little
body was rigid, while the other was
not. When Messrs. Ell Wilks and J.
B. Carter reached Chester In quest of
coffins no statement had been obtain
ed from Perry Woods as to the de
tails of the tragedy.
It is supposed, though, that he was
along when the two little Chalk boys
were drowned. Neither of the vic
tims could swim, and It Is likely that
they ventured In beyond their depth
and were engulfed in the water,
which Is deep In places.
MUST HAVE BEEN CRAZY.

Efforts Will Be Made to Eradicate
the Terrible Disease by the Medi
cal Boards.
A Washington dispatch says the
hook worm, or the "lazy bug,’’ as It
has been shown to exist in the South
ern States, according to the Investiga
tions of the physical condition of the
srnSy recruits, will form an interest
ing chapter In the forthcoming report
of the surgeon-general of the army
and will probably lead to widespread
effort on the part of the boards of
health In th Southern States to erad
icate this disease, which a few years
ago was brought prominently to the
attention of the world In connection
with the Porto Ricans. After being
treated all of the Infected soldiers
gained in weight and improved In
physical condition generally.
Following this investllgatlon of
the recruits, it was discovered that
"uncinariasis,” as hook worm is call
ed In the medical world, was a com
mon disease thoroughout the South
ern States. It is estimated by the
army surgeons that 50 per cent, of
the recruits in the army today from
the rural districts of North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida,
Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana
will show hook worm infection.
The Investigation has been pro
gressing quietly during the last
six or seven months, so that when
Surgeon General Torney makes up
his annual report he will have much
data to prove the pravalence of the
hook worm among the soldiers en
listed from the Southern States.
These recruits passing though the
army depot at Fort Slocum, N. Y.,
were examined to the number of 110,
109 of them being infected with the
parasite. West Virginia, North Car
olina, South Carolina, Georgia, Flor
ida, Alabama and Tennessee all sup
plied the recruits that were Infected
Th e Columbia Record says the
knowledge now In the possession of
the government corncerning the hook
worm has been secured largely
through the investigations of Dr. C.
A. Stiles, who spent a year or more
In Columbia and South Carolina for
this purpose. He went Into the cot
ton mill towns and out into the
country. Including the sand hills, liv
ing among the people In their homes
and examining the children In the
schools. His observations are tba
basis for the present announcement.

to pay higher prices for their artl
cles of clothing, especially cotton and
wollen cloths. Mr. Taft himself has
been circularised and In various ways
hss been made to feel the weight of
this showing up.
Every dry goods merchant In this
country almost is already an active
agent for the Democratic party. The
Importers in New York and elsewhere
along the shore have been circulariz
ing retailers all over the country, the
merchants’ associations and the var
ious representatives of those concerns
which have all to lose and nothing to
gain by the raising of duties have
bean sending out letters and circu
lars to the men and concerns which
they deal with In the small towns
< and the merchants of the whole coun
try are studying the tariff as they
have not studied It before.
I was In a little town In the South
the other day and to my great sur
prise I found a small dry goods mer
chant who had never before been
known to take any Interest In na
tional politics talking tariff. He took
me behind his counter and showed
me gloves that he sold for$2.25, but
which, If the proposed Payne rates
on gloves go Into effect, he would
be compelled to sell for $2. He
showed me ladles’ hose, which he
was now selling for 25 cents a pair,
the kind the greater number of wo
men buy, and he had figured out that
If the proposed Payne duties on
stockings go Into effect he would
have to sell those stockings for 35 or
40 cents. And he took me all about
his store and showed me cotton and
woolen goods of various kinds which
would have to be raised in price.
No It does not make any dlffererce
whether a man Is a Republican or
a Democrat, If he Is a dry goods mer
chant he la going to raise the price
of bis goods so sure as this bill goes
through, as it seems now destined
to do. Mr. Taft has been told this,
and he has been made to realize it.
That's the reason he is Ajaxlng so
marvelously. He hears a rumbling
of the political earth in America and
be must bestir himself.
Seeing how unpopular juat at this

PELLAGRA IN CHICAGO.
Discovered Among the Inmates of

Pellagra, a mysterious plague, as
fatal as leprosy and usually found
only In Southeren States and tropical
countries, has been discovered in the
insane wards at the Dunning asylum
at Chicago. Three aged women are
now suffering from the malady and
six other women have auccumed to
the disease within the past year. At
the time of their death the Dunning
physicians were mystified as to the
nature of the ailments. A suspicion
that pellagra was the affliction of
th e women was confirmed by Dr. C.

TOOK BAP’S FUNDS
And Lost Them In Speculating In
Cotton Fntture*, Disappears, Leav
ing a Written Confession, Which
Qemptotoly Bhumefl Hls Fri—ds,
Who Had Trusted Him.
J. T. Holleman, who for two years
has been cashier of the Bank of An
derson, and who for four yeara waa
assistant cashier, has been found
short in his accounts approximately
$35,000, and has left for parts un
known.
In the cash drawer of the bank he
left a letter, addressed to President
B. F. Mauldin, in which he made a
clear cut and complete confession
saying that he lost the money is
speculating In cotton futures.
Rather than face hls friends, he
said In the letter, he would flee, and
this he did on Sunday morning, when
he left supposedly on hls annual va
cation. The people of Anderson are
severely stunned, for there was no
man In Anderson who enjoyed the
confidence and esteem of the people
more than did Mr. Towmes Holle
man.
The board of director Issued the
following statement Tuesday:
‘‘The board of directors of the
Bank of Anderson make the follow
ing statement In regard to the short
age of J. T. Holleman In hls accounts
as cashier, which came to the knowl
edge of the officials Monday night:
After carefully looking Into- the af
fairs of the bank we find the amount
will be about $35,000, and inasmuch
as the capital stock is $150,000 and
the surplus $225,000, making a total
of $375,000 to which Is added the
liability of the stockholders, $150,-
000, making a total available for
creditors of $525,000, the public can
realize that the standing of the bank
Is not Impaired and that the business
of the bank, with Its well-known abil
ity to accommodate Its customers,
will not be lessened. The loss will
be charged off to-morrow, when the
bank examiner ascertains the exact
amount.”
This statement was signed by Pres
ident B. F. Mauldin, Vice President
J. A. Brock, Attorney Joseph N.
Brown and five directors.
No statement ever Issued In An
derson occasioned greater surprise
and consternation. The officials of
the bank knew nothing of the matter
until Monday night. Mr. Holleman
left the bank Saturday afternoon,
supposedly with the intention of go
ing away for a vacation of a week o
two. He told hls associates In the 1
bank of hls intention last week and
he left with their fullest permission,
and they did not dream that there
was anything wrong. He Is sup
posed to have left the city sometime
Sunday. It Is not known where he
has gone.
The bank was opened as usual
Monday morning and everything ran
smoothly during the day. When Mr
A. H Sharpe, assistant cashier, went
to balance the cash that night he
found In the cash box a letter ad
dressed to Mr. Mauldin, the presi
dent. He also saw that there was
something wrong with the cash. Mr.
Sharpe sent for Mr. Mauldin, who
was at hls home and the letter was
opened and read. In It Mr. Holle
man made a complete confession. He
said he had been speculating In fu
tures and had gone from bad to
worse and that he had become des
perate and decided to leave as he
could not face hls exposure.
He turhed over all his property to
the bank, but this will not come near
covering the shortage. The directors
of the bank were summoned, and af
ter examination they placed the facts
before Mr. Giles Wilson, the state
bank examiner, who happened to be
In the city on one of his regular
trips, and he Is now going over the
booIrvr-The directors, however, have
already satisfied themselves that the
shortage Is not more than $35,000,
and of course, this will not In any
way cripple the bank, which Is one
of the strongest In the up-country.
Everything will go on as usual as the
bank has a large surplus fund, seven
or eight times sufficient to take care
of the shortage.
Mr. Holleman, In hls letter,'said he
first began speculating in futures
about a year ago wbn $1-00 which be
had saved. He losr. that anr thtn
borrowed $1,000 fr> m ths bank w'lh
which to recoup hls loss. This soon
went and other sums In rapid succes
sion. It is an old story of a small
beginning by a man who was the soul
of honor and had no Intention of de
frauding anvbody.
Mr. Holleman Is a native of Wal-
lalla and has lived In Anderson
about twenty years. He has a wife
and several children. He has held
several responsible positions In the
city and has been with the Bank of
Anderson about six years. He was
frugal in hta^ hablta^. ateady and in
dustrious, and had always lived with
in hls Income. He was Just about
the last man In the city that would
have been suspected of being short
in hls accounts.'
Ti«.»hA.Ouq.cement o( tie trouble
will be received with the greatest sur
prise throughout the city and county
and State, and there will be the deep
est sympathy for him. He was uni
versally liked. It Is not known where
he has gone and no statement was
made as to what steps wonld be tak
en to apprehend him. All of hls
friends and the bank director* were
too stunned to map out any coarse
The Fertilizer Tex Brought to e Big
Sum During the Year Ending June
The finance committee of the
board of trustees of Clemson College
has finished its inspection of the
books of the treasurer for the year
ending June 30. Below are a few
Interesting facts and figures from the
teeastarer’s report lor the year:
The Income from the fertilizer In
spection tog tax was fl77,2Tl. Of
this amount the trustees expended
by order of the General Assembly
$64,389.79 as follows: For inspection
of fertilizers and mailing fertilizer
bulletins. $13,638.59; for analysis of
fertilizers, minerals, ores, waters, etc,
$8,997.65; for entomological Inspec
tion, $1,415.72; for veterinary In

experiment station, $15,953.69; for
farmers' Institutes, $516.26; for 165
beneficiary scholarships, $15,166.79
These expenditures leave a balance
credited to the College of $1T2.881.-
95, to which must be added the In
come from productive funds, such as
Clemson bequest, tuition, rents, farm
herd and dairy, etc, amounting to
$9,702.81, and the Income from the
Federal Government, $23,254. These
amounts, with a balance of $19,775.-
16, make a total of $165,613.92 for
the use of the College.
The expenditures of the College
proper for the year were for perma
nent Improvements, operating, equip
ment, supplies, labor, Insurance, paid
cadet fund, and salaries—by depart

NEGROES USE COCAINE.
K
Said to Otain the Drug from a Cer
tain White Man.
A dlspatcl/from I^xlngton says a
prominent farmer from the Hollow
Creek section was there and stated a
fact that the law governing the sale
of cocaine was being openly and flag
rantly violated in his section. The
habit among the negroe was rapidly
becoming Intolerable, in that farm
ands were using the dope to the
extent of being useless.
He says that negroes carry it
around In their pockets, selling It at
church gatherings, and In some In
stances they become wild and almost
unmanageable. One negro is said
to have had as much as $12 worth
of the drugs at one time. It Is said
that it is much easier to peddle co
caine than whiskey as It can be more
easily concealed.
It Is thought that a prominent
gentleman living in one of the near
towns is acting as a kind of a whole
sale dealer, and that the negroes and
whites that have become addicted
to the habit get their supply from
time to time.
It Is said that a negro moving into
the community from Prosperity some
months ago started the use of the
drug among the negroes, alid the
habit has steadily grows, until most
of the negroes in the setlement use
it in preference for liquor. Both men
and women use it, it is said.
It will be recalled that not many
weeks ago the mayor of the town of
Leesvllie fined the violator of the
cocaine law $500. He was tried on
five different counts convicted and
fined $100 on each count. One ne
gro, Mack Manning, is now In Jail
having been sent up by Mayor Hen
drix.
The officers are going to work on
the case reported and it Is thought
that the guilty parties will be ap
prehended.

SOME GOOD ADVICE.
A Farmer Tells How to Get the Most
From Cowpea*.
“In just the proportion that we In
crease the acreage of the cowpea. In
that proportion will the soils of our
section be Increased In fertility,"
says Mr. A. L. French, a successful
North Carolina farmer. In the Pro
gressive Farmer. He then goes on
to say:
With us, It ususally follows a win
ter grazing crop that has been aown
on corn stubble, but we are not
averse to turning a good sod of clo
ver and timothy, and often do this,
plowing the sod in the late winter.
Then as soon as the corn crop Is
planted, we start to harrowing the
pea land. And the deeper the plow
ing Is done and the better the seed
bed Is prepared, the better results
we obtain in the pea crop. No crop
we have tried will respond better
to good treatment than will the pea
crop. We usually prepare the land
well with the disc, Acme, and spike-
tooth harrows, sow the peas broad
cast by hand and cultivate them In
with the spring-tooth cultivator.
Then level the land with the smooth
ing harrow.
On our best land we generally use
three-fourths to one bushel per acre
of good clean Clay peas and a peck
of Amber cane seed. This makes the
best combination for cow feed of
any thing we have ever used. On
the thinner fields, where we sow the
peas for soil Vmprovement primarily,
we use the pea alone, broadcast, one
bushel per acre. Then where we
want the crop to be grazed by hogs
we put the peas in rows two feet
apart. We plant these with our two-
row corn planter.
When we have grown a crop of
peavlnes that will make as fine a
quality of hay as jve have ever been
privileged to feed, we make hay of
it, every acre, as we have never been
able to figure out the economy of
making manure direct of peavines,
when every ton of pea hay is worth
fifteen dollars when fed to first-class
cattle or sheep, and the manorial
value of the product reduced very
little by being passed through the
animal. When we can make hay of
peavines at a cost of from $1 to $1.50
per ton and return the manure back
to the land for 25c per ton, we be
lieve It Is good business to do so
rather than to plow under the crop in
the raw state and Just bury $13.25
with each ton so plowed under.
Doesn’t the proposition look reason
able?
So we put the big six-foot mower

To the Editor of The State:
I read recently a statement that
the question of President Jackson's
native State was still, and would per
haps ever remain unsettled.
Today I read In an old magazine I
found in my father’s library, styled
Tbe-Examlner and Journal .ol Politi
cal Economy, printed in Philadel
phia, dated Wedneaday, May 28,
1834, a proclamation Issued by An
drew Jackson, president of the Unit
ed States, addressed to the citizens of
the State of South Carolina, reason
ing with them on the rights of a
State to nulify the act of congress,
which the state had recently passed.
In which proclamation he uses these
words: "Fellow cltisens of my native
State, let me not only adtooplsh you
as the first magistrate of our com
mon country, not to incur th* penal
ties of the law,” etc.
