G. WILSON & COMPANY * *d Laurens, S. C: J> BIG SYMPOSIUM ON PELLAGRA FAIR WEEK National Conference for the Purpose of Discussing: Nr? Disease to be Heid in Columbia. Columbia. Sept. 4?A bit? symposium on pellagra, attended not only by leadiug physicians from this and neighboring states but by those who have become interested In the subject in all parts of the country, will be one of the features of state fair week, the first of November. In other words a national symposium on the subject. The first conference was a state affair held last fair week, the dlseaso having first been brought to the at tention of the country through the Investigations here and abroad by Dr. Babcock, superintendent of the State Hospital for the Insane. Since then, however, great interest has been manifested throughout the country in the disease, which has every ap pearance of spreading not only in the South but In other parts of the coun try, it was recently decided to make the conference here a national sym posium. This has been decided upou on account of the constantly in, reus ing UUtubers. Of letters received here from various parts of the country, written by physicians and others ask 1 ins for all available literature on the dis >ase. It has been decided to hnv. , a bis experience, fteelfAg hero fall ! week, at which physicians from till parts of the country will b>* given an opportunity to question and listen to those who have made a close study of the disease. A curious and alarming feature of the disease so far as this section is concerned is the tendency it is show in? to spread to prominent families In virulent form. A number of such cases have been brought up to the at tention of the State board of health within the past few months, said Dr. Williams, the secretary of the state board, and it is noticeable fear of the disease is spreading among lead* lug people, who are being careful of their db" to avoid it. Mut although the doctors are still at a loss as to definite facts either regarding the cause of the disease or its remedy, they are still proced Ing on the theory that it i.- caused by eating products of corn. And yel several cases base come tu li<;ht recently. In which the physicians in charge report that the patients have never eaten any products of corn* it is thought likely that these patients have been eating corn meal in some form they were unaware of. and to the end of running down this side mystery of the subject, Dr. Parker, the board's pure food expert, is now at work Investigating staple foods which it Is thought might contain pari corn meal. If suspicious along this line are verified by the analyses now in progress a distinct sensation will he produced throughout the coun try. "Pellagra is such a disease," said Dr. Williams today, "thai a physician once seeing it is not apt to forgel it. It is in a (dass by itself. [tut while it is not a new disease the ease.-,, we are satisfied, have been of an almost negligible number nnd hin,I. We have just been getting in answers to inquiries sent out \>> the older prac titioners in the slat,'. Men in prac tice from to llo years nnd acme of them as long as 40 years report hav- > lug seen scarcely any eases r.n.!W< rills? 'he general symptoms CXCop! within live penetrate to the cause and thvolvt a remedy." Hetweeh r.ow an.i fair weelt lite state board and the hospital boal l> of regents have arranged for a week, ly < Hale on i 'llagrn at liie lio qvital for the insane, which Is free and open to physicians generally. in a letter which i>r. Williams has sent out to physicians in ti.:.-, Sfate, which he bus followed with Invita tions to the conference to physiclurts in all parts of the < QUutry. Dr, Will ictus say-: "The executive committee decided at its hist meet in: t> hold another conference >u pellagra fair week. We ('<) not believe we a!e presuming too much When We -ay that South Carolina has taken the lead in bring' lug this disease 'cr (he at: union of the profession of our country, ami new we (ar.no? afford t.? let our interest lag.

MAMFACTUKi: OK COTTON StiKD. Interesting t'rocos* in Oblainingr Oil Fr?> in Seed. Although the manufacture of prod ucts from cotton is now one of the South's biggest industries, very few people, e\eu those who deal with the staple itself, have any Idea of the method used in treating the seed for the extraction of the valuable by products, The work done in the mills is of special Interest Jo, South Caro lina, wh.rvh ?odMajmj ft tfumber of plants, several of them being recently chartered by the secretary of state. In Columbia, Charleston ami sev eral othei towns of the state the cotton seod mills are ????if of the giant indus tries in the commercial lit" ? of the communities. in brief the process used In the mills Is as follows: As the seed are received they are placed in :\ large central room, Her" they tire put on an einliest conveyor which carries them t-, the Unters. The lint that covers the seed nfter the ginning is removed. There nre about 17 pounds of this lint to ti toli of good seel. Even this by-product the Unter?IS now used for making cotton batting, mattresses, etc. After the seeii pass through the llnting machines they are conveyed (o the crushers. The kernel ol the seed is mechanically taken out and the hulls are carried otto waj and the meaty little kernel another. The hulls are used as a forage feed for cows and stock. Following the kernel of the seed, they will be foumi in a son of roller mill machine similar to a wheat Hour roller. Then they nie pul into tl steamer and cooked thoroughly. From the cooker they are put n little at a time into a powerful press. The oil is thus pressed out through a thick Cloth made of Camel's hair and the hard cake i.-, left. The oil i< put into large tanks and the cakes are ground up into the yel low meal or shipped in cakes for feed. The refined oils are used for cooking ?purposes and soaps are made from the dross taken from the refined oil.
