Sambon, M. D. of Lon don, Eng., professor In the Ixindon School of Tropical Medicine, In the auditorium of the State Hospital for the Insane, at Columbia, Tuesday night outlined In an Intimate man ner his conclusion concerning the dis ease known as pellagra and his meth ods of reaching these conclusions. He said that he was of the opinion that pellagra Is caused by the bite of the buffalo gnat, which Inhabits streams of water, but In order that this might be established beyond a doubt, Dr. Bambon said that many more facts should be gathered. Drs. Sambon, Grimm and Garrison spent a busy day In Columbia Dur ing the morning they visited typical cases of pellagra In the private prac tice of various physicians. The af ternoon Has given over chiefly to ob servation of pellagrins in Instlthtlons particularly Columbia hospital and the State Hospital for the Insane H W Klee.

After the bloody deed, the perpetrators surrendered and when asked for their version of the affair the father referred the in quirer to his attorney, who when seen said he had nothing to say ex cept that the shooting was done In "self-defence”. In commenting on this murder the Lancaster News says "It seems that the only cause of the killing was that the officer, in the discharge of his duty, about a year before, had taken a pistol from one of the men, who was carrying It Illegally. Such cold blooded murders as this are happen ing all over South Carolina, from time *o time, and It Is rare that there Is a conviction and when there Is, It Is usually for murder, with recommen dation to mercy, or manslaughter, which means a term In the peniten tiary, which In turn, after a com paratively short time, Is followed by a pardon.

The greatest quantity of cotton ever ginned In the period prior to September 1 was reported by the census bureau Tuesday, when It was announced 794,006 hales, counting round as half bales, of the growth of 1919, had been put out from the gin neries throughout the South since the beginning of the ginning season. The heavy ginnings for this first period of the season are the result of an early maturing of the crop and of an effort of the farmers to beat the boll weevil, in the opinion of census bureau officials. All states reported an Increased growing for the period over last year’s total for that time with the exception of Texas and North Caro lina. Last year to September 1 there had been ginned 5 4 per cent, of the entire crop; In 1911 the quantity was 5 per cent. This compared with 750,955 bales last year to September 1, 7 7 1,29 7 hales In 1911, and 555,01 1 bales In 1910 Round bales included In this re port numbered 7,5X4, compared with 7,45 t for last year Sen island bales included 45", com pared with .'5 2 for last year Ginning by states to September 1 Stales Alabama \rkar, “»•< .

He op posed President Wilson’s nomination, and since his election he has done all he could to belittle and Injure the President with the people. The Re publican newspapers publish what Governor Hlease says about the Dem ocratic Administration under scare heads to show what a Democratic Governor thinks of the Democratic Administration. They hope in this way to hurt the Democratic party in the election next year. While In Washington recently Governor Please was Interviewed by The Post, a newspaper that has no use for the Democratic Administra tion. In talking of President Wil son Governor Please said: “While I am a Democrat, I am ashamed to contemplate that the President Is the only man who ever sat In the White House who advised that his country men should run away from danger that threatened their property or their lives.” The Governor went on to say that “If there were any one other than Wilson In the White House, we should have long ago had peace in Mexico, and made Huerta come to terms.” It would seem from the above that Governor Please would have Presi dent Wilson and the Democratic Ad ministration to plunge this country in war with Mexico to protect the property of the Mg trusts, who heve gone down to exploit Mexico.

At Muelhausen, Germany, fifteen were killed when a school teacher named Wagner ran amuck Thursday night with several revolvers and a plentiful supply of ammunition. Eight persons died shortly after Wag ner opened up his fusilade and seven others of twenty he had wounded died Friday. Wagner previously had killed his wife and four children in the nearby town of Degerloch, and then came to Fuelhausen to contlune his deadly work. When Wagner finally was overpow ered by Infuriated townspeople with clubs and pitchforks it was believed he was insane. A commission of ex amining Judges after an hearing when Wagner rationally answered their questions, declared the murder er normal, mentally. Although Wag ner’s arm had to be amputated De cause of wounds his condition Is said not to be dangerous. He had 3 00 cartridges when he opened fire upon the townspeople and of these he fired 80. The maniac took refuge In a stable, where he killed all the cattle. He was finally overpowered, after he had exhausted all the 250 cartridges with which he had provided himself. The enraged villagers wreaked their ven geance upon him by clubbing him and s’abblng him with pitchforks He will probably die.

An appeal to the cotton growers of the State to see that all cotton seed belonging to them is kept in a high class condition and outlining the ben efits of the grades of cotton seed in marketing as agreed upon has been Issued by Commissioner of Agricul ture E. J. Watson. Says the appeal: “This circular is addressed to yon for the purpose of most earnestly ap pealing to you to see that all cotton seed belonging to you is kept In a» high-class condition as poslble until It Is offered for sale on the markets of the State. It is an appeal to you al so to see that If you should have any particularly bad seed coming from the gin to keep that seed separate from your good seed and offer it sep arately on the markets. ■'This department has closely stud ied the cotton seed buying and sell- situation in this State for some yearn and is convinced that under the rap- hazard methods us.-d heretofore where farmers mix Indiscriminately good and bad seed, aril where they do not mix It the local buyer dees so, and w here seed Is left expos. <1 to tho weather either on the farm or in • ransportat ion. the farmer lose* a great deal of money on the price that he should receive for his seed.
