Cook declared that he had given to
Harry Whitney, the wealthy young
big gams hunter, part of the records
of his observations on his return

'Whitney would bring the (records
to this country.
Commander Robert E. Peary on

subsequent to that of Dr. Cook,
picked up Mr. Whitney at Etah, and
was bringing him south on the

METHOD TO MARKET CROP.

A dispatch from New Orleans says
W. B. Thompson, president of the
New Orleans cotton exchange and
head of the cotton Arm of W. B
Thompt-on A Co., of that city, has
Issued a circular letter to farmers,
wherein he offers a new plan for
the marketing of the cotton crop.
He urges farmers to market their
crops at the rate of 10 per cent
month. According to Mr. Thompson
this would create a stable market
for both buyer and seller.
Mr. Thompson says In part:
“Let the producer of cotton mar
ket 10 per cent of his crop each
month for 10 months. An instant
of reflection will convince any
thoughtful man that whether the
crop on the market be large or small
and whether a hundred planters or
a hundred thousand employ the
method, the result will be better
than If the crop were sold at once
or the attempt made to hold It all
If the plan Is good for one planter,
It la good for ail, and if ail or any
great number of planters adopt it.

is oolved."

A special to The News and Courier
from Spartanbdrg says an unknown
white man attempted to make a
criminal assault on a young colored
girl at East Spartanburg Saturday
afternoon. He was caught by the
father of the girl and given a
severe whipping and then released
and told to leave the country. It
is said that this Is the second at
tempt of the kind by the man, and
the white people of the community
regret that the girl's father let him
get away, claiming that he should
have been turned over .„to the au-

report to be circulated In the city
that a race riot was on, and the

MedkAl Science Is Working to Dis
cover the Secret of the Terrible
~ Plague That Has Invaded the
United States and WHIrti Is Caus
ed by Eating Corn.
Appearance In the United States of
that mysterious disease, r pellagra,
practically a new and hitherto un
familiar kind of leprosy, and which,
though Introduced but recently, Is
spreading with great rapidity, may
well excite alarm, says Rene Bache
la the New York American. It is
a disease,among the most frightful
known to mankind—which already
claims about one million victims,
now surviving, in the Old World.
Over there It pursues, In nearly
all lut-tances, a slow course, killing
the sufferers very gradually. But
in this country It becomes unique
and Is often a swift destroyer, the
symptoms being "telescoped," as one
might fay, so that the whole course
of the malady may be run within 1
few weeks, terminating in death.
To call it a “new brand of lepro
sy" Is by no means inappropriate.
Bift, In truth, it Is worse—much
worse. Not only does it transform
the skin of the body in to a yellow
and parchment-like, covering, crack
ed and bo*«t with foul and ulcerous
sores, but It directly assails the tern
pie of the mind, reducing the patient
to a condition of Insanity or idiocy
Until recently the disease, itf
name compounded from two Italian
words, “pelle," skin, and “agra,'
rough—has been regarded as pe
culiar to the Old Worldj, though
a few sporadlo cases of It have ap
peared from time to time In Mexico
and South America. Suddenly and
unexpectedly It Invaded the United
States—the first sickness of the
glnd being reported only a few years
ago In Georgia. Now quite as sud
denly Lt has spread throughout most
of the Southern States and, worse
still, because. of the difference in
climate, it has attacked the Middle
West.
Fifty cases have been found at
the Peoria, Illinois, State Hospital
alone, and Captain Joseph F. Siler
of the Army Medical Corps, sent
there to investigate, has reported
to the government that he believes
the malady has long prevaHed, not
only around Peoria, but throughout
Illinois and the great corn growing
Bates of the West.
, For it is In corn that the cause
of the disease, whatever It may be,
lurks.
The malady is neither contagious
nor Infectious. That Is to say, one
person cannot “catch It” or “take
it” from another. Each individual
rase originates from the moldy corn
direct. In all likelihood, the mls-
chlef-maklng fungus starts its work
in the cornfield, where its spones fall
upon the ripening ears and grow.
But even this is not a certainty.
It may l>e asked, why does not
cooking kill the fungus germs? So
In all likelihood It does. But the
poison manufactured by the fungus
Is what makes the trouble, and ap
parently this Is not deprived of its
toxic efficiency by high temperatures.
That boiling does not render It harm
less is shown by the fact, already
mentioned, that alcohol distilled
from spoiled maize will cause the
disease.

The report of Botantot Barre, of
CtwmsoQ. to Oommisoiooor Watson
on the anthrsnooo disease In cotton
seed shows that tbs 8UU is losing
$5,000,000 annually, and Georgia
$14,500,000 and that the disease 1*
spreading. The remedy Is to pick
small local x mills, tbs grain for
which woe "shocked" by hand. For
this reason none of It was moldy;
and consequently the flour made
from It was wholesome, containing
no disease germs. Those who ste
It were safe from “pellagra.”
Today, however, there Is a very
different state of affairs. The South
has given up growing corn on any
extensive scale, and Is planting cot
ton instead. But the people of that
section are still eating as much corn
meal as ever, obtaining the product
from the North, where It Is made In
great mills In Chicago, St. Louis,
Cincinnati and other cities, by ma
chinery. The ears are “shucked''
by machinery, which pays no atten
tion to bad opes, and throws the
moldy grain In with the rest, to W
afterwards ground.
-Formerly the eoxn -used...^!; mak
ing meal la the South was never
kept in big bulks. Todajy, on the
other hand, it Is customarily handled
In enormous bulks—-600 bushels to
a car, and thousands of bushels in
one bin. Under such conditions, es
pecially If any moisture be present,
the mass is liable to “heat," and
the fungus from the moldy grain
spreads with great rapidity. Thus
Is may be taken for granted that the
cornmeal which comes to market
nowadays is more or less liable to
be Infected with fungus. No wonder
then, that la the States where corn-
meal Is a large Item of the daily
diet a disease positively known to
arise from the eating of moldy corn
should have made Its appearance.
It Is by no means to be supposed
that the fug! which attack corn are
all of them, nr even most of them,
dangerous. Presumably, they are
as a rule, quite harmless. But
among them there must be some
species of a "pathogenic” Character
which produces the disease known
as pellagra. When sufferers from
the malady in its early stages are
deprived of corn, and fed on other
grain, the symptoms disappear.
Summed up, the symptoms com
prise progressive emaciation, brittle
ness of the bones, fatty degeneration
ef the Internal prgans (especially
the heart, liver, kidneys, spleen and
lungs). Inflammation of the brain
and spinal cord, nervous troubles
and the frightful affection of the
skin already mentioned.
These conditions become progres
sively worse. There are evidences of
mental weakness, with great depres
sion of spirit. Children are sad of
face and look like old men or wo
men. Young women rapidly take on
the aspect of ancients. Emaciation
sets In, with increased physical
weakness. The skin becomes red
with sensations of burning and Itch
ing. and usually some puffinees
Blisters appear, scattered over the
surface; the spidermls dries and
falls in grayish scales. I^ter on th>
skin becomes thickened and of a dir
tv yellow or yellowish-green color
hard and rough, with painful crackr
and crusts, or even ulcerations
-| Finally, it becomes parchment-llke
with entire loss of elastictly.
The condition, In a word, ao far
as this feature of the complaint Is
concerned, is what a layman would
describe as leprous It Is not lepro
sy. however. A suggestion has been
made to the effect that the leprosy
described in the Bible was actually
pellagra, but there is no reason for
such a theory. Undoubtedly pe'ln-
gra t* a modern disease, corn having
been unknown in ancient times.
Maize, of course, is of American
origin, and It Is safe to say that
the Indians, who were large users
of corn meal long before the days
of Columbus did not use moldy grain
in Its manufacture.
In the later stages of the malady,
sufferers become either partly Im
becile or deranged. Sometjrpes they
entertain delusip^ of per( )t Vitlon or
of religion. VF l^holeV, (I- s )n

adds his quota to the polar contro
versy. On his expeditions he saw
much of Peary and knew of Peary's
plaas. He was also on the Erik In
the summer of 1907 when she lay
for a week In Sydney alongside the
schooned Jno. R. Bradley, in which
Dr. Cook was starting for the pole.
Whitten says that.,lhe Bradley was
abundantly equipped for Cook's ex
pedition, having supplies for at least
three years. He confirms the charges
made by Dr. Cook at Copenhagen
that Peary's people took Dr. Cook's
provisions, adding that not only did
the crew of the ship take Cook's
stores at £tah, but that boats were
sent to Annatok, thirty miles distant,
to remove Cook's provisions which
were stored there.
Whitten admitted however that he
did not know If this removal was by
arrangement between Franke, who
was left in charge of the provisions
and Peary or Peary's representatives.
The boatswain also made the
statement that both Franke's and
Cook's collections of ivory and skins,
some of them very valuable, likewise
wore taken. He said that the trou
ble with Peary's previous expeditions
had been the lack of supplies. In
stead of remaining away for three
years, Commander Peary was com
pelled to return after about fifteen
months, the real reason, Whitten de
clared, that he did not have enough
supplies to remain longer.
Naval Officers Endorse Cook.
A dispatch from New York says
previous assumption that Comman
der Peary would have the United
States Navy solidly behind him was
not borne out In a letter from Rear
Admiral Schley, made public by Capt.
R. S. Osborn, secretary of the Artie
Club of America, of which Dr. Cook
Is a member. The letter under date
of September 11 from Pocono Manor,
Pa., runs in part as follows:
“I like Cook's attitude immensely
in this unfortunate, unnecessary and
unwise controversy. He certainly has
been dignified and manly in the
stand he has taken in this matter.
Capt. Osborn followed up his let
ter from the admiral with a lecture
on "Who Discovered the North
Pole?”
“Dr. Frederick A. Cook,” he said,
“was for two years my wife’s phy
sician. I saw him two or three
times a week and we chatted many
hours. If 1 have ever known a man
of integrity, probity, sincerity and
modesty, it is Cook
“I have known also the other man
— known him To depart from truth
by large margins.”
It is now admitted by Peary him
self, that only one Esquino was at
the pole with him. Cook had three
with him.
it is Ground.
The dread new disease which first
made its appearance In the South
several years ago, has Invaded sev
eral parts of the North. Fifty cas
es are now under treatment in Pe
oria. ill. It has probably existed
undetected In the North many years.

that pellagra caused the death of
two patients who were supposed to
have been scalded to death in the
Bartonvllle, Illinois, insane asylum
In 1904 and 1907.
They died in bath tubs and their
bodies looked like they had been
boiled and the nurse who was In
charge of the last case was dismissed
for supposed criminal carelessness.
Dr. laivlndar says the appearance of
being boiled alive Is typical of the
Usease of pellagra and that death
in the bath tubs was a mere concl-
dence. The result is that the nur^e
has been reinstated. Dr. Lavlndar
found forty cases in this asylum on
his arrival there.
The Knoxville Sentinel, referring
to the theory that mmty corn causes
pellagra, expressed the belief some
time ago that the spread of the dis
ease was due to the use of care
lessly selected corn ground by steam
rolling mills instead of the coarse
ground corn meal of water mills of
the South. The view has been grow
ing In strength. Dr. William T.
Woodley, of Charlotte, N. C., has
written The Observer on this sub
ject. He blames the use of shock
cured corn which, he says, is not
given time enough to dry thorough
ly before It is husked and market
ed. He says that sixty days longer
should be allowed to corn in the.
shock than to corn standing in the
field.
The season in the West is mtkh
shorter than in the South and the
farmers push their work so as to
get through with cleaning Ithelr
fields before winter. Dr. Woodley
proposes, therefore, that mills be,
required to use only corn that has
been cured under supervision. Corn ,
for the table should be cured with-1
out stripping the fodder in order to I
give the ears all the nutriment pos
sible. The amount of corn ground
for human food Is small compared
with the total grown and It would
be no great hardship to require the
mills to be careful in selecting It. 1

spread of the disease, the Farmers'
