(POLITICAL A Senator Smith T Important . Democ Columbia, July 14.-The peoplo of South Carolina who have been fol lowing the work of the San -Francisco Convention will be interested in'the important part whch Senaftor .10 ..D. Smith played in the deliberations. The ?work of Senator 'Eknith is best described in tihe 'following article from the 'Florence Daily Tlimes: Friend,, of Senator 1111ison d). Smith in Florence county are beginning to interest themselves in his behialf as a candidate for le-election to tho 'United States Senate, not that they are fearful of the Senator's failing to carry the comnty by a large majority, as usual, but -because of the fact that they are anxious to reconize the Senator's great work Ih the Sen ate by giving hini a nutch larger majority than ever before.

In Itis letter to the peopile of' the State which was reard at tle opening lleetitng ot' the amttpa!gn he trCeouniit ('d his achievemets in tle Senate and stated that he felt It his duty to at tend the convention ati( as a member of the piltform committee. do yhat lie could for Iiis state atnd te South.

This, however. was not I te only item in which his influeice was felt. Seiator Smith happily has thlie knack of get ting things donle atid his activities at tile convention bore fruit just as they have (one in the Senate. The followiing rather remarkable tribute to Senator Smith Is taken from the Raleigh News and Observer, the 'paper owned by Josephus laiels Secretary of the Navy and will be of interest as poinilng out. the estetii in which Senator Smith is hel( inl tile tar heel State.

When 'he came to be elected for the Senate in 1908 his vote was the biggest -his State had given for this offlce, showing the apprecia tion in which the people of his satate had held 'his work.

As an active member of these in (iustrial and commercial committees, Senator Smit-h has a chance to know the needs of lthe country in its pro dud Iion, distribution and foreign (om011 ercial relations, andli he has the coneoption that realizes the absolute necessity of imaking our railroads and har IhOrs serve tle rell li mentmiis of hoth doiestic( and foreign trade.

The laboratory and >tlicr equipment of the hospital here will be distributed among the other lkospitals of the public health service, mnd so far as the local force of pel lagra investigators is coneerned, the research Work will come to ai end. Te biggest single factor in the itainping out of this disease has been the post war pr'osperity that has cre atedl a marked iprovmeni t iii finaniticial con(litiol of Ihose elasses aitong .whom pellagra Was Imost pro valeilt, .1)).

JULYSALE 30 cases of pellagra In its worst formi wore found in one small cotton mill v'Ilago here. At the opresent time there are only eight cases In this vil lage, and every, one of these is rapid ly responding to a change in diet of the patient. Dr. Goldberger declared that the af. ter effects of pellagra were much worse than the after effects of S;)an Isli Inffuenza. After all active symp tois of pellagra have disappeared, the patient has invariably experienced fre quent and prolonged periods of las situde and general debility, and in many cases it has reIuired several years to build ip the patient to his former state of effielency. In the treatment of pellagra, Dr. Goldberger stated that mili has been found to be a factor of inestimable im portance. A slogan particularly at: pIlicable in the* local campaign against pellagra was "Own a cow."
