An Old Vessel.
New York. Feb. 2.?The Mallory
line steamship San Marcos, which
left here on Wednesday for Galveston,
Texas, with ten passengers and
a crew of 50 was reported today to
he missing and there are gravel
fears that she is the vessel which
went down off hiizabeth City, N. C.,
on Saturday.
The San Marcos was due to pass
Sand Key, near Keywest on Sunday
night, but up to today she had not
been cited off that point. The Atlantic
and Gulf of Mexico have
been scoured with wireless messages
to the San Marcos, but tip to today
there has been no reply front the vessel.
The Mallory line officials here today
declared that they had no anxety
as to the safety of the San
Mavcos, but they were forced to admit
that they have heard nothing
front the steamer since she left here
last Wednesday. She Is due in Galvestion
tomorrow, hut should have
been spoken by other vessels long
before this.
A message from Key West today
stated that anxiety over the San
Marcos had reached that city and
wireless messages had been sent out
for a radius of 150 miles from Sand
Key, calling for the San Marcos.
She has not replied. None of the
vessels passing Sand Key have reached
the missing boat.
The San Marcos is nearly 3 0 years
old, and is one of the more old
fashioned kind of iron vessels. She
was at one time a Ward liner, then
was sold to tlie government for an
arnty transport for service during
the Spanish-American war and since
that time has been in the Mallory
service between here and Galveston,
Texas.
The vessel that went down near
the Diamond Shoals lightship, off
Klizabeth City, N. C.\ so far as can
be learned, was not unlike the San
Marcos in appearance. She had a
passenger deck like the San Marcos,
was plainly a coaster and flew the
United States ensign.
The vessel that went down or
Diamond Shoals was a 11 re at the
stern. She was seen by the observer
at Cape Hatteras, by the man
aboard the Diamond Shoals lightship
and also by those on the Savannah
line steamship Savannah, which
was not far off at the time.
The strange feature of the vesse
foundering is that not a trace of hei
has been on the sea since. Sh<
was completely engulfed. Not i
single spur, not a boat nor even f
piece of drift wood has been found
Her stern was spouting smoke ant
flames when she was last seen ant
she seemed as if to plunge down wart
nose first.
There was a tremendous sea run
ning when the unknown vessel wen
to the bottom. This prevented tin
Savannah approaching the vessel
But the Savannah was .herself en
gaged in keeping her head on t<
the storm and could not have ren
dered assistance if her ofhcers hat
wanted to.
The Savannah sighted the un
known vessel hours before she sank
But both vessels were engaged it
fighting their way through the ter
riffle gale with the thermometer a
the time at nearly zero.
Both vessels kept plunging on t<
the southward, but no signs eve
came from the stranger. The un
known vessel seemed to be weather
ing the storm well enough until th
flames broke out at her stern am
she went down in a few minutes.
The San Marcos was in com mam
of Captain Davidson. She Is of 2,
188 tons, 317 feet long, 39 feet bear
and draws 21 feet of water. Sh
had a single funnel and two masts

Prwld^nt Barrett Urges Them to
Wear Cotton and Use It In Kvery
Way Possible.
President Charles S. Ilarrett, of
the National Farmers' Union appeals
to members of his organization to
promote the use of cotton by em- ^
ploying it as bagging and clothing
to as great an extent as practicable, |
in a letter issued recently.
The address is directed to all the
officers and members of the Union,
and begins with the request that at
the next meeting all organizations
take action looking towards the promotion
of the movement. He trusts
that everything possible be done to
widen tiie use of cotton in every direction.
"The Farmers' Union is on record
as being the first in the field to work
for such extension of the use of
tin' Sou til's leading staple crop." he
says. "Our work from year to year,
and at our conventions, iias tended
to promote this idea. There have
been several indications of late that
responsible organizations of the
country arc waking up to the advantage
of assisting us in this regard,
and wo simply cannot afford to neglect
the duty of pushing this great
movement at this most prosperous
time.
"Activity is demanded of us from
the fact that source after source,
government department after government
department, association after
association, has taken steprf looking
to increasing the consumption
of cotton.
"At your next meeting I urge
most earnestly that you request the
local and wholesale merchants you
patronize to specify that aU commodities
they handle in wrappers he;
enclosed in cotton. Of course there
will be some cases where the substitute
is not practicable. It is practical
in any number of instances,
where no other coverings are used.
"The man from whom you buy
your sugar, your flour, your meats,
your clothing?the majority of the
everyday necessities of life?has it
in his power to help on this movement.
lie can do so by demanding
that the manufacturers and Jobbers
and wholesalers use cotton wrapping
wherever possible. You patronize
him. Make him assist you. it is
to his interest no less than your
own.
"Visit such men personally,
through strong and influential committees.
You will never accomplish
, anything unless you go after the matter
yourselves.
, "lOfforts, practical and persistent,
, in this direction, can increase the
annual consumption of coton hunt
dreds of thousands of hales. It can
. raise the price a cent or the frac.
tional part of a cent every year, for
, good.
"I draw your atention to the fact
I that mills are already manufactur,
ing cotton for the wrapping of cot;
ton hales in suhstitute*for jute.
t "This matter is one of the most
t urgent now before the Farmers
I'nion. 1 helieve that the public can
j he educated into the use of cotton
j articles in such fashion as will ulj
tlmately double the present consumption
of the staple. The suggestion
I have outlined for immediate
^ action will make a good beginning in
, that direction.
"My work in connection with the
commission on country life is now
} virtually concluded and the report
of that body is to be.made in a few
j days. It is a source of gratification
to me, and I helieve will he to our
members, that many of the recom

' resolutions passed at a Farmers
Union convention. 1 am convinced
t that I have been able to be of material
assistance, both to the member*
of our organization and to the rural
v population generally, in )coi\ection
with the commission's work. It has
not been permitted to interfere witli
(i my duties as your president, but i
j think the extra ttjime crowded in
will prove to have been an excellent
j investment for the cause I represent
It may be of interest to the brethren
to know that the members of tin
commission deferred to my judgment
in a number of matters vltallj
affecting their recommendations."

to promote the use of cotton goods

Pittsburg, Pa., Feb. 5.?To bring
justice to the perpetrators of the
many recent attacks ou white women
and girls in the Herron Hill, Law;
renceville and Southside districts of
this city, and to take steps to prevent
a recurrence of the crimes, the
better element of the negroes have
issued a call for a general mass
meeting to be held next Tuesday
night.
The feeling between the white
people and the negroes is becoming
more acute as each day brings its
quota of attacks and reported attacks
on white girls by negroes.
The populace of the affected districts
is highly wrought up over the
1 existing situation and only the most |
careful vigilance on the part of a
double force of policemen prevents
a serious clash, between the races, i
Blanche Smith anil Hose Sesock
residing in a suburb, were attacked
by negroes today but their screams
frightened the assailants, who escaped.
Two negroes, accused r f
i being those who attacked the girls, j
were later arrested and sent to the
workhouse for three months.
.John Stokes, a negro, aged 32, was I
arrested on charges preferred by
Mrs. .lane Thompson, of the Southside,
who alleges he entered her
home and the room of her daughter,
but was frightened away by the
screams of the girl. The man will
be given a hearing tomorrow.
At Johnson, Mrs. Mary Krulse,
aged SO years, was attacked at her
home near here, today by a negro.
The aged woman's screams frightened
her assailant who escaped, leaving
his victim in a critical condition.
The people threatened to lynch the
negro.
At Uniontown, Anna Davis,
of Lynn's Station, shot and fatally
wounded James Donahue, when he,
another white man and three negroes
attempted to force an entrance into
her home. The men laughed at the
woman when she warned them to
leave. Seizing her husband's revolver,
she tired through the door. *
BKFOltK DAY CLUllS.
Magistrate Clement's Negro Const a
l?los Disappearance.
Columbia, Feb. 6.?Magistrate U.
Lebby Clement, of Wadmalaw Island,
Charleston county, was in the
city today with a very surprising
story of a condition of affairs in
his island. He has been magistrate
there for several years, having been
appointed by Tillman when he was
governor.
Lately the constables he has appointed
have been mysteriously disappearing.
He has lost two within
the past few months and the two he
now has have received warning from
the Black Hand Society of the island
that their time was near at hand
if they did not give up their positions.
Besides this, the barns and
buildings on two of Magistrate Clement's
places have been burned.
He is determined to ferret out the
perpetrators of the crimes, if possible,
and to this end has secured
private detectives, and comes here
to get the governor to offer reward
for information leading to the conviction
of the parties guilty of the
recent crimes.
He will personally duplicate the
reward offered by the governor. The
situation on the island is really
alarming. Magistrate Clement attributes
it to a secret organization
1 of tbe negroes, who greatly out1
number the whites.
1 There were forty-three white men
1 on the island in Republican times.
1 Over 1,200 negroes used to vote and
1 their number is greatly increased
1 now. He is obliged to have negro
constables, for be can't get white
men. Of coure it is mainly against
" tin; negroes that the arm of the
J law is used. The negro secret so'
ciety is believed to be the centre of
' disturbance.
Several well authenticated stories
1 from this and surrounding islands
show a renlly alarming state of law8
lessness on the part of the negroes
? If attempt is made to break up the
gangs trouble is sure to follow
1 (Jovernor Ansel will, upon receiving
and going over the papers, offer s
reward. *

J .A
TRICHINA PARASCITE
WHICH RIVALS PKLLAGRA, APPKAKM
IN GKORGIA MKAT.
It Conies From Fresh Pork, and
Cause* a Lingering Disease, Which
AlutvfH Proves Fatal.
Above the terrors produced by
recent discussions of that new disnfldn

of "Trichina" at the State capitol
Friday morning, says an Atlanta
dispatch to the Augusta Chronicle.
The dispatch goes on to say
that if promised discoveries anent
the latter are made and the dangers
of it not lessened by the investigation,
country pork must take its
place with suspicious eatables along
besides "pone bread."
The apeauance ,of trichina was
ilrst brought to the attention of the
State Agricultural department by
Mrs. II. Strickland, of Duluth, Friday
morning. Several days ago she
purchased a half portion of a newly
slain hog. While preparing a detachment
for a meal, she discovered
that something was wrong with the
meat.
Investigation disclosed foreign
growths in what otherwise appeared
to be perfectly healthy flesh. The
family physician was called in. but
he knew no name by which the condition
of the nork minht h*> pIiupho.
terized.
A young medical student examined
it. and pronounced the complaint
"trichina." Encyclopedias were
searched, and they disclosed the
fact that the trichina parasite contains
more horrors than Dante's inferno.
Mrs. Strickland promptly shelved
the pork for scientific inquiry, and
brought several slices to the scientists
at the State capitol. Dr. R. E.
Stallings, State entomologist, ap
plied tnycroscopes to the exhibits and
confirmed the medical student's diagnosis.
Trichina is a disease usually found
in hogs. It is caused by a parasite
which must be taken internally.
When once in the body it multiplies
by hundreds, invades every part of
the system, particularly the muscles.
According to physicians there is
no known cure, and the only hope
of a person or animal so inflicted is
to endure the suffering until the disease
works itself out. This is seldom
done, as the depravations are
so severe that few constitutions can
survive an attack.
One human patient is said to he
in Atlanta now, and is being made
the subject of considerable study by
local physicians.
orien apparently health y~ swine |
are afllicted with the disease, and
such meats should be carefully examined.
The germs are easily discoverable
with the naked eye, being
small and of pea shape.
The danger of them may be avoided
by all meats being well cooked,
as heat destroys the life of the parasities.
Hut the heat applied to a
"rare" or "medium" steak is said to
be insufficient to rid it of danger,
but trichina does not often appear
in beef.
To prevent the larger packing
houses from using meat so infected,
the federal government is now keeping
inspectors at their plants who
examine each carcass and order all
those found afllicted destroyed. *
Cure for Chicken Cholera.
A little flock of chickens, for nearly
a year their owner's pride and
delight, enjoyed apparently perfect
health at night, but the next morning
nearly a fifth of the flock lay dead.
While these were being properly interred,
a sixth of the remaining
fowls followed their sisters, and the
heart of the owner grew very heavy.
Just at this time, says the Farm
.Journal a neighbor came to the rescue.
