The Aiiilf'stia Mail says the phy- .
iciaas of iliat city are much interred
in a now euro for typhoid fovr,
which has boon given them l>.v
rot*. \V. T. 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.
The disease has been check- '
id in six to eight days, and the pa- 1
lent has rapidly recovered in each '
Pico *
Hut this is net regarded rk a suf- x
leiont tost, and the physicians who '
ire assisting Prof. Lander in nis *
>xperimcnts will continno the treat- (
neut 11111iI it has boon tried in at
east I 00 oases before they will make 1
my professional statements to tin;
>ublic or in the medical magazines N
egarding it. 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. (

to end It all."
This is the explanation the police
say Mrs. Clara Cunt her gave them
when they rushed inot her little ilat
in Brooklyn Saturday afternoon and
found her husband dead and the woman
dying. George Gunther, the
husband, had been shot three times
(through the head. Mrs. Gunther
had a bullet in her breast. The
revolver was still in her hand.
Neighbors say that Gunther, who
was a chauffeur employe J at a public
garage, drove up to his home In
an automobile Saturday afternoon
and shortly afterward they hoard
sounds of a quarrel, of a Btrugg'.e
and of furniture being overturned,
then a succession of revolver shots.
The dead man was 3 5 years old and
his wife 42. His wife is expected
to die.

I'll LSI CI AN tt I(,l (J I IT PELLAGRA.
ninpniga Against Supposed Germ of
tho Disease.
A harmed by the number of canon
?f pellagra that have occurred at
Durham, N. 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. One victim wa
a boarding housekeeper, but none o
the boarders contracted the disease.'

"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.

BLEW OIT HIS BRAINS
While Being Hotly Pursued by a
Sheriff's Posse.
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.
By a Mysterious (ias on Bourd of j
a Steamship at Sea.
Mysterious gases released from the
hold of the United States collier j
Nashua when the steel bulkheads of i
that vessel were stove in by n by- j
phoon were responsible for the death
of live members of her crew, according
to a story of Third Assistant Engineer
Elmer Hutchins, who arrived
.it oilii r raneisco Aionaay on board
tho cruiser Buffalo.
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. Carver revived, I
but Chief Officer Parkin, Second OfB
fleer Rapp and three sailors died
from in hailing gases.
