Lander, professor of hemistry in Lander College at iroonwood. Prof. Lander took a nil course in medicine at one of ho leading colleges in the country, ml although he has never practie- v( (1 the profession he has been much w ltcrcsted in it. t( lie is a deep student and several ears became much interested in ty- ,i hoiil fever and kindred diseases. vv le became convinced that, t tie best rcatmont would bo to assist na- p, are; in other words to treat the (j at lent with the view of strengtheneg the blood so t hat it would re- (| isl and throw off the typhoid germs ;i s qiiicltly as possible, and has been M forking with this end in view. It > difficult to explain the principle |)( ? that it may be understood by Hymen, but the several physicians o whom Prof. Lander has explained L have bei a much interested and hey believe, that he has made a very mportant discovery. 'J'he Mail says several Anderson ihyHciaus have been experimenting pith the treatment, and have been S mazed and delighted with itR of- N eel. Ih lias also been used by phy- I; icians iu (ireonwood with equally s food results. tl P.y this treatment, it is said, a S latient is able lo throw off tyhpoid I) over iu six to eight days. Here- e ofore it has been accepted by phy- I icians and laymen alike that ty- v dioid fever is a lingering disease, t mining from throe to eight weeks n duratjon, tind mover less than J liroe weeks. In fact, the twenty- c irst <^ay has long been regarded ?' s the crisis in a case of typhoid fo- v or. v Dr. l ander's treatment has been '' used in fifteen or eighteen cases this f' umnier, in Greenwood, Anderson ? nd a few other planes, and in every ' ase the treatment has been sucessful.

Some of the physi- ( dans, however, have talked to their 1 Tiond.s about it, and in this way the 1 natter has become known. The physicians are deeply interested in the new treatment and those * r ivho have been using and studying it ire of the opinion that this is one ' if the most important discoveries of ho century. Only a few physicians vvere in the secret at first, but it is becoming generally known among < Lhe profession in this section and the Interest in its is growing every day. They think it little short of marvellous that the now treatment , should conquer tUe fever in such a | short lime, and that in every one of ( the cases in which the treatment has \ been used it has been equally sue- ; cessful.

C., the physicians of that :*ity began Wednesday experiments [o locate the origin of the disease. Six deaths from pellagra have occurred in that section. A dispatch from Durham says: "An examination of the blond nf ii powerful negro who has the disease in most aggravated foriu revealed a distinct organism and specimens were sent to Richmond and to Johns llopkina for more careful analysis. "If a germ is found, as physicians are inclined to believe, some animal will he inoculated and a campaign against pellagra on the germ theory will he waged. The theory that the disease has its origin in corn has been abandoned by the physicians at Durham, hut a fierce war against the importation of Wes tern corn is being conducted. "Dr. McCampbell of the State hos pital has written a paper treatlnj with 12 cases of pellagrous insanity and death. Three-fourths of tho cas oh were among women, which is un usual, it is said, as tho disease oc curs more frequently among men None of the cases which have devel oped in that section has been trace able to cornbread.

V ?<f OKI CrtUR FAKMUKS SHOULD HE HIjOW TO UAItkUT Til Hilt COTTON. Hk*?al4 Oalj h??l] Lluoagh to Fay Up track Obligutioaw iu Ar? Pressing Thorn. "There is probably *o class of people in the world who are the recipients of more advico than the farmers," says the Augusta Herald. "Kverybody seems to consider himself competent to advise them, and not a few of those so ready to give advice know far less what they are talking about than the farmers" The Herald irons on to sav ounce tally is this advice given during the selling season, when these friends of the fanner rise to advise him as to the host time for him to sell. They are at it again this year, the majority of them advising the farmer to hold his cotton. Tilts may he good advi'ce, which, however, the farmer does not need. He knows hl? own circumstances and conditions, and the obligations he has to n>?et. lie knows the condition of th? crop as well as do other people, and the general condition of business. Consequently better than anybody else ca eta farmer will know when he should sell his cotton. That the crop will not only he short but very short this year is no longer a matter of doubt. The government report on the condition of th? crop, issued Thursday, has settled the last remmaining uncertainty on this question, it not only corroborated the ginners* report and all other reports as in the poor condition of the crop, hut showed it it he lower than all previous reports. It put tlio average condition at G3.7 per cent of normal, against 7G.1 per cent last year, and 73.6 per cent average for the last ten years. it was the lowest estimate on record since these reports have been made. Coupled with the reduced average this means a crop very much shorter than that, of last year. l'erhiins rlie cron will reach 1 1 - 000,000 bales, Although this seems possible now only if nil conditions from now on shall be favorable, which is hardly to be expected. Probably the crop will fall considerably below 11,000,000 bales. Hut even if it reaches that ligure, what will b? the condition of the market? Secretary Hester's report showed that last ye?r 5,000,000 bales of the American crop were spun in American mills, while foreign mills consumed 8,056,000 bales. The stock of old cotton on hand this year does not vary greatly from the stock on hand a year ago. American mills this year will consume more cotton than they did last year, (because there are more mills and because the general improvement in business will tend to greater activity In all Then, if over 5,000,000 bales be required for home consumption and the crop does not exceed 11,* 000,000 bales, there will be only six million bales for customers who will need more than eight millions One-fourth of the cotton mills in other countries will be unable to get the cot toil tliey will need to operate their machinery. Of course the im tun win go n p. in the scramble of those mills for their necessary raw material. Already cotton is soiling at a prim from three to four cents higher than at this time last year, and it is certain to go up. Cotton is now being marketed freely, and this has a tenId enoy to keep down the price. Bit it will advance as soon as there it j decline i-n the offerings for sale, This b the logical conclusion of the present cotton crop oondition. The farmers know to is. They arc in better condition to avoid rushing , I their crimen to market than the> were last year. They have mailt l mora corn and other crops, and con r soiiuently are more independent l Where they must have money !t , men; obligations or for other pur > poses, three bales will bring then . as much money now as four bale did last year. They are in far bet . ter condition to hold a part of th'.i ? crop and select their own time fo r marketing. And they will not dump all thei . cotton on the market as fast as the; . can have it. ginned. To advise then . not to be in a hurry to sell is super - minus. Fifteen cents cotton is i . sight, and it is those who will hoi a their cotton who will get it, fin f this is what all would like. Fiftee " cents means a difference of flftee dollars a hale, and this is what th farmer will make who shall decid to hold his cotton until the rush t " soil is over. h Hit By Train. i- Nineteen persons wero scverel o injured, two probably fatally, Fridn night when a hay wagon in whic they wero being taken to a cor roast was struck by a freight ei 0 gino at St. Clair crossing of Wi 0 liamsburg, Pa., branch of the Peni sylvania railroad.

With posse in close pursuit and tired of the relentless chase of officers of the law, Jeff Bradley, who killed Georgo Welhorn, Jr., near Clayton, Ga., last Monday night, shot himself to death near Mountain City Tuesday afternoon. The suicide occurred when the ntflonra were ulmnot within hailing distance of the ulleg- J ed fugitive. The ollicers, hearing the shot, be-| lievcd that they were about to l)u { ambushed and dropped to cover, j They waited for other shots, and | then cautiously ventured out and j followed the direction of the shot. In an old field, face downward, with his gun lying by his side, Bradley , was found, with his brain blow* out. Sometime Friday Robert Nix, living in the vieinty, went to a straw stack where Bradley was concealed. Thinking that Nix was hunting for j I him, although armed with a shot-' gun, Bradley offered to surrender. Nix told him that he was not hunting for him. Subsequently Nix reported seeing him to Sho*ff J. H. .Jones, who formed a posse of men, and started in pursuit. Bradley was 2 7 years of ago and unmarried. FIVE PERSONS KILLED.

The vessel was en route from Cavite lo Hong Kong. Shortly after i the ship ran into a terrific typhoon a noise like an explosion of gasses > was heard. Capt. Carver took five members of the Filipino crew for- J 5 ward with him to investigate. The) ; failure of the men to return led > Ilutchins to make an investigation ? and he was also overcome, but was - revived. When the men were finally drag) ged back from the hold, it was found . that by some inexplicable freak tho ! bodies had been stripped naked by ! s, the fumes. Capt.
