The other white members of the various parties that left Oapt Columbia ware sent back one by one as Mr Peary drew nearer daily to hla ob ject. Mathew Henson, Mr. Peary's negro attendant, and three Eskimos the only other members of the reduc ed party that made the Anal dash were left on the march south of the Pole. At 85.38 the party consisted of Mr. Peary, Capt. Bartlett, Matthew Henson, a negro man, who has been Mr. Peary’s personal assistant on so many of hla expeditions, the Eski mo*, seven sledges and sixty dogs and the journey north was resumed The Ice was perfectly level as far as ths eye could see. Capt. Bartlett took the observa tion on the 88th parallel on April S, and then reluctantly returned, leaving Mr. Peary, Henson and the Kaklmos with provisions for forty daya to make the final dash to the Pole. This reduced party started on April 3. The men walked that day for ten hours and made twenty miles. Then they slept near the Slth parallel. The Pole was reach ed on April 8, aad a series of obser vations were tkken at 90. Mr. Peary deposited his records - ffd. fcwtotud the American flag. The temperature was 3 3 degrees below •ero. . The Pole appeared as a frosen tea. Mr. Peary tried to take sound ings. but got no bottom at 1,500 fathoms. Mr. Peary stayed at the Pole far thirty-four hours and then ■tarted on his return Journey on April 7. Hasn’t Dr. Cook's Records. A dispatch from New York says the following wireless and cable message has been received in that city: "Battle Harbor, Labrador, via Cape Ray, N. F., September 12. “I have no knowledge of Dr. Cook’s having given Mr. Whitney any records. There are no Cook records on the Roosevelt, w. (Signed) ’ Peary.’' In, Copenhagen. Dr. Frederick A. Cook declared that he bad given to Harry Whitney, the wealthy young big gams hunter, part of the records of his observations on his return from the North Pole to Etah, Green land. Dr. Cook asserted that Mr. ,'Whitney would bring the trecords to this country. Commander Robert E. Peary on hla return from the Pole, a year subsequent to that of Dr. Cook, pldked up Mr. Whitney at Etah, and was bringing him south on the Roosevelt When they met the relief chip Jeannie, to which Mr. Whitney was transferred to continua his hontlng for a few weeks in Baffin s ablaze before the guests were given the alarm. While moat of the guests were able to leave by stairways, half a dotea, among them two women, leap ed from a second-story balcony, but were not seriously hurt The guests were cared for In neighboring cottages. The hotel building was valued at f75.000. William Holmes, son of the owner, ran to his mother's room on the second floor and found his escape cut off by a wall of flames. They were forced to Jump, but were not hurt. An elevator boy ran his car until the flames stopped the car. METHOD TO MARKET CROP. Beat of tke Loot in* of His Stores. New Orle»n* Cotton liealer Has New Plan. A dispatch from New Orleans says W\ B. Thompson, president of the New Orleans cotton exchange and head of the cotton firm of W. B Thompson 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 a 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 ia good for all, and if all or any great number of planters adopt It, the problem of marketing the crop Is solved.” WANTS MIS NK<*K BROKEN.

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 oommuntty regret that the girl's father let him get away, claiming that he should have been turned over to the au thorities. The arsault caused the report to be circulated in the city that a race riot was on. and the deputy sheriff and a large crowd of citizens hurried out to East Spartan burg to prevent trouble. CITY MARSHALL KILLED By . Blow ^;,7U Appearance Ui the United Statea of that mysterious disease, pellagra, practically a new and hitherto un familiar kind of leprosy, and which, though Introduced but recently spreading with great rapidity, may well excite alarm, says Rene Dache in the New York American. It is 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 Instances, 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 jay, so that the whole course of the malady may be run within a few weeks, terminating in death. To call it a "new brand of lepro sy" is by no means inappropriate. But, 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 befot with foul and ulcerous .-.ores, but It directly assails the tem ple of the mind, reducing the patient to a condition of Insanity or idiocy. Until recently the disease, its name compounded from two Italian words, "pone," skin, and "agra, rough—has been regarded as pe culiar (to the Old W'orldf, though a few sporadic 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 kind being reported only a few years ago In Georgia. Now quite aa sud •lenly It 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 C’orpa, sent there to Investigate, has reported to the government that he believes the malady has long prevailed, n.-t only around Peoria, but throughout Illinois and the great corn growing States of the West. For It- Is In corn that the cause of the disease, whatever it may be, lurks The malady ia neither contagious nor infectious. That Is to say, one person cannot "catch it" or "take It” from another. Each Individua caae originates from the moldy corn direct. In all likelihood, the mls- ehlef-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 be 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 patently 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 caure the disease The spores of the fungus wtr colonies in the intestin i—t W—r blood and th •mall local mills, tha frxin for which was "shucked" 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 ate 1 a a..a—• r _c— #»..!.>. c,., It .-re -I. from •■pell.gr.." U U* » StSt- 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. 8t. Louis, Cincinnati and other cities, by. ma chinery. The ears are "shucked’' by machinery, which pays no atten tion to bad ones, and throws the moldy grain In with the real, to be afterwards ground.

Osborn, Secretary of kept in big bulks. “Today, on other hand, It Is customarily handled In enormous bulks—600 bushels to a ear, and thousands of bushels iu one bin. Under such conditions, es pecially if any moisture be present, the jnass is liable to "heat,’’ and the fungus from the moldy grain spreads with great rapidity. Thus is may be taken for granted that tha cornmeal which comes to market nowadays Is more or less liable to be infected with fungus. No wonder then, that In 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.

On his expeditions he saw much of Peary and knew of Peary's plans. 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 the 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 Artie (Tub A dispatch froSm~3r JoflflT TE.

Whitten admitted however that he did sot kflow If this removal was by arrangement between Franks, who was left In charge of the provisions and Peary or Peary's representatives. The boatswain also made the that the fugl which attack corn are all of them, or 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 aad spinal cord, nervous troubles and the frightful affection of the skin already mentioned. These conditions become progres sively woree. 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 pufflnees. Blisters appear, scattered over the surface; the spidermls dries and falls in grayish scales. Later on th< skin becomes thickened and of a dir ty yellow or yellowish-green color, hard and rough, with painful crackr and crusts, or even ulcerations Finally, It becomes parchment-like, with entire loss of elasticity. The condition, in a word, so 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 fs 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 beclle or deranged.

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 C<w*k. 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. B. 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: ”1 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 I have ever known a man of integrity, probity, sincerity and modesty, it is Cook. T have known also the other man — known him fo depart from truth by large margins." It is now admitted by Peary him self, that only one Esqulno was at the pole with him. Cook had three with him.

Bartonville, 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 suppojed criminal carelessness. Dr. latvindar says the appearance of being boiled alive is typical of the ilsease of pellagra and that death in the bath tubs was a mere concl- dence. The result is that the nune has been reinstated. Dr. Lavindar found forty cases in this asylum on his arrival there. The Knoxville Sentinel, referring to the theory that musty 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 imough 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 much shorter than In the South and the farmers push their work so as to get through with cleaning khetr 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 out stripping the fodder In order to 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. In commenting on the rapid spread of the disease, the Farmers’ Union Sun says here in the South, whose people have always been ad dicted to the u*e of corn-bread In some form or other, pellagra was; . ^ unknown until comparatively recent ^ A collector for the Central oi U" years.
