THE SUMTER WATCHMAN, EsU CONSOLIDATED AUG. 2,1 G0V.10?PER1 PASSES BUCK TO NEWSPAPERS Following Conference Chief Executive Will I> Call on Newspap ers to Furnish Evidence 1 Columbia, Aug. 20.?Gov. Cooper came down from his summer home in Greenville yesterday and spent the greater part of the afternoon in conference with Sheriff Roof, of Lexington, Sheriff Heise of Rich -land and Solicitor Callison on the mob situation. After the confer ence the Governor issued the fol lowing statement: "When i read In certain daily papers editorials which, in effect charged that the state had abdicat -ed and surrendered to the mob, and that the governor of the state had done nothing in reference to the "threatened mob violence and none of these papers having communi -cated with me as to any action taken or contemplated, I felt out raged. "These papers virtually charge that a mob of armed citizens citi zens has defied the law and the law officers, has been holding up citi zens on the public highway and searching trains and no steps have yheen. taken to prevent it. I assume ' that some one connected with these papers is in position to give specific instances of such acts of violence. I have endeavored, and am now en deavoring, through the only avail able channels to find out the truth about these matters. I did not deem it advisable to publish in the daily press that an investigation would be made and the persons who violate the law brought to trial; but since the newspapers are determine dto have a newspaper trial, I feel compelled to ask for my 'day in court..* ' As governor of the state I call upon every citizen and especially the newspapers to furnish me any information which will enable the proper officers to ascertain who composed the personnel of any mob or assemblage of persons in connection with the Brazell mur der case. If the newspapers who have made the charge that the . state government has. -abdicated and surrendered to the moh are un able to make good the charges which they made, I assume, of course, that they will make due apology to the state which they have slandered. If they can fur nish the Information desired, they should have done so and given the legal authorities an opportunity to act before charging them with in difference and inactivity. "It is not out of place, in this connection, to say that the chief difficulty which the officers interest ed seem to have had in dealing with the threat of mob violence was the fact that the newspapers published to the world every move ment of the officers and thereby en abled those who would do violence to the law to have the advantage of advance information. When there seemed to be danger of vio lence to prisoners in legal custody my first concern, naturally, was to prevent any act of violence. The sheriff of Lexington county, where this horrible murder was commit ted, went to Savannah. Ga.. where two of the prisoners were in cus tody, and the fact of his departure was published in the afternoon pa pers. When he left Savannah, ostensibly for Columbia, with his prisoners in charge, this fact also was given wide publicity. When his prisoners were delivered to the i sheriff of Charleston county and were securely guarded, the officers, as well as the governor, were 'charged again with surrendering to the mob because the prisoners were not brought forthwith to Co lumbia, where the mob was sup posed to be forming. "To have adopted this course would probably have meant the shedding of blood and the unneces sary sacrifice of human life. It is a well known fact that the jail at 'Lexington is insecure, if there was no danger of violence from without. These prisoners must be incarce rated, therefore, elsewhere than in Lexington until the time of trial. I am unable to see where the state government is failing in its duty when it decides to hold prisoners in the jail at Charleston, in pref erence to placing them in the jail or penitentiary at Columbia. Th<> penitentiary is not a detention house, but is a prison where per- j sons are incarcerated after con- J viction. It frequently happens, of course, that prisoners before trial are placed in the penitentiary for safe keeping. Usually the peni tentiary is selected in ord?-r to re move the prisoners from the storm center. In this case it would have been bringing them into the place where the mob was supposed ro be. There would be no objection to such a course in the present case, but there is no necessity for it un less there is reason to apprehend danger of a successful attack on the Charleston jail. "There seems to be an idea, also. t!.at the governor of the state can not discharge the duties of his of ilice unless he is at his desk in the governor's office in the stat** Capi tol I wish to say that I have been in constant and continuous touch with this whole situation, by tele - phone and telegraph from my tenir porary residence on Paris mountain Wished April, 1850. 881. CAPE COD YANK] TRY MOB LAW Two Hundred Men and Women Attempt to Storm Barnstable Jail to Get Negroes Barnstable. Mass.. Aug. >9.?A mob of men and women carrying ropes stormed the local jail and threatening to lynch three Cape Verde, Island negroes who are charged with an attack on a young white fnan and highway robbery. Early this morning twenty-five au- i tomobiles arrived at th? jail and demanded the prisoners. The mob j halted when the jail officers fired | in the air and the chief warden ' told them he would shoot down j any attackers. The mob dispersed ! after remaining over an hour. This j was the second attempt to lynch the negroes. More guards have been added to the jail. The negroes were identified by their victim. They are held for fifteen thousand dollar bail. Parliament Must Decide Policy London.

Courts Restrain Strikers Raleigh. Aug. 19.?Court sum mons ha~ been served on union of ficers restraining them from mo lesting employes of open shop printing plants. Bergdoll on the Run Geneva. Atig. 19.? Grover Cleve land Bergdoll. the draft evader, has arrived at Constance from Germany to avoid extradition to the United States, a local newspa per says. and have given the same instruc tion and advice that I would have given had I been in Columbia. It is neither customary nor advirable. in my opinion, for the governor to be personally in charge and imme diately on the scene of a disturb ance of this character. It frequent ly happens that such an outbreak is threatened in a distant part of the state from Columbia, and I have never known but one instance where the governor left hi3 office to go to the scene of trouble. "As soon as I was informed that there was probable danger from an aet of violence and that mob was forming in Columbia, I com municated with Sheriff Heise and directed him to us* his entire police foree and I would give him addi tional men if necessary, mid that every person found in bis county who was paticipating, or threaten ing to participate, in any act of violence, or who was going armed, making demonstrations to the ter ror of fhe peace of the commun ity, should be arrested and com mitted to jail. I am assured by Sheriff Heise that he has been vigilant and has been unabl? to discover any threatened acl of vio lence. He assures me that per sons who were supposed to have gone to Augusta. fl;c. and entered the jail there left tne city of Co lumbia quietly, and when he was informed of their departure, he no tified rh?' sheriff of Augusta, Ga. i was unable to J in direct com munication with Sheriff Roof of Lexington, but I have had u confer ence with him today and he assures me that he has bc< n vigilant and active in the discharge of his duty. I did get a message to him similar to the one given 'v.iciiff Heise. '"It is rather significant that in almost every instance where I had occasion to use the telephone or telegraph, information as to the contents of my conversation or message in some mysterious way found its way to persons on the streets and io members. <>r sympa thizers, of tii" would-be lynchers. This matter I would like to call to the attention of the authorities of the telephone and telegraph companies." "Bo Just and Fear Agreement on Russian Relief Americans to Immediately j Start War on Famine?Re I tains Control of Food Washington. Aug. 18.?A satis j factory agreement has been reach jed with the Soviet authorities at : Riga, under which the American [relief adminstraton will begin im (mediately to fight famine among [the children of Russia. Secretary Hoover announced today. The agreement, he added, accents the conditions laid down by the Amer ican organization .safeguarding the lives of relief workers and insuring American control of food supplies. While the negotiations have come to a successful conclusion, the Sec retary added, it may be a day or two before a formal agreement is signed. Important details such as means of transportation and loca tion of serious famine areas remain to be worked out. he said, before the final document is drafted. I The work of food relief in Russia will begin at once, Mr. Hoover de clared, adding that the New York office of the administration was al ready preparing vessels to rush sup plies to Danzig for transhipment into Russia. The quantity of food, however, which will be needed, it is understood, cannot be determined until a survey of Russian famine conditions is made. Unity of Relief Work. A letter from President Harding endorsing the effort to mitigate famine in Russia and asking unity of the relief work in one American organiz tiou was made public by Mr. Hoover. "My particular purpose in ad dressing this letter to you," the President said, "is to emphasize my wish that the distribution in Russia of all charity arising in the United States should be carried on through one American organization. It is only through single American rep resentation and administration that we can assure to both American and Russian people the best ser vice in the use of their funds. "I am asking the Department of State to cooperate in directing that passp? rts bo given for traveling Russia only to persons who may be in the service of the American re lief association. "It is also of importance that the American people should be pro tected so far as we can do so. from those persons who may wish to thrive on great disasters by creating unnecessary organizations to col lect charity." The President's letter was trans mitted by Mr. Hoover to the chil dren's relief organizations, com prising the European council and a [ meeting of that body was called j for early next week to consider joint arrangements to be undertak en for Russian administration.

Along with the presentation of { the report word reached the sen ate that prohibition leaders of the house had declared there would be no recess of congress until the measure had been finally enacted. Senate leaders, on the other hand, announced it was hopeless to ex pect senate acceptance in view oi the rejection by the conferees lof the Stanley amendment, passed unanimously, and deigned to prv> ? L j tcct the home and oth*-r propeAj from indiscriminate search through, j imposition of heavy penalties. The only point at issue in final deliberations of the managers was the searching provision. In reach ing a compromise both the senate and house amendments on the sub jects were discarded. In their p'ace the conferees adopted the following section: "That any officers, agent or em ploye of the United States engaged in the enforcement of this act. of the national prohibition act, or any other law of the United States, who shall search any private dwelling as defined in the national prohibition act, and occupied as such dwelling, without a warrant directing such search, or who while so engaged shall, without search warrants, maliciously and i without reasonable cause search J any other building or property j shall be guilty of a misdemeanor | and upon conviction- thereof, shall I be fined for a first, offense not more ; than one thousand dollars or im | prisoned not more than, one year, j or both. j "Whoever not being an officer, j agent or employ.- oi tiie United I States shall falsely represent to be ! such an oftie^r, agent or employe, j [ and in such assumed character ' j shall arrest or detain any person, j or shall in any manner search the j person, buildings or other property j of any person, shall be deemed I guilty of a misdemeanor and upgn 1 . conviction thereof shad be punish I ed by a fine of not more than one ! thousand dollars, or imprisonment ? for not more than one year, or by I both." ??<-??

M. Perdue of Kansas City, wno has made ex tensive studies of the disease. i>r. Perdue's statements are contained in the following letter to The New Y/ork Times: I note a number of articles in The Times concerning pellagra. These articles are in error in that they are misleading as to the cause, prevention and cure1 of pellagra. They are further in error in that they assume to state that there is a difference of opinion as to the cause of pellagra and that there is -^till doubt, as to its real cause. If there is a threatened recrudes cence of .pellagra, all this is e>:c-d ingly unfair to the people of the south, and misleading to tic medi al profession who are called upon to treat these sufferers in the South. Again, the- people of the south who suff( r from pellagra are our fellow-citizens a ad arc entitled to the best and the truth about mch an affliction. Every instinct >f humanity dictates that the truth he told and that these suffen rs be relieved and their lives saved. The true cause of pellagra was worked out in the Institute of Hy giene of the University of Rome by Professors Alessandrini and Scala They published the results of their work in I$T3-L4. The writer was their collaborator in America. He translated* their work and pub lished it with the results of Iiis American collaboration in 1916. For five years this work has teen in the English languag0 In the hand3 of the American profession. This research is final. It is based upon the very best scientific find ings. There is no further need to seek for cause and prevention of pellagra. The treatment is a suc cess, but it does not preclude other methods. Pellagra is an endemic and not an epidemic disease. It is a chronic acid intoxication and not infectious or communiable in any sense. It is not hereditary. Pellagra is essentially a disease of a fixed agricultural population living upon an eroded and exhaust ed soil of determinate geologic ori gin. Pellagra has a definite gelo gical-geographical distribution/ It has no relation to labor, diet, domi cile or sanitary environment. Pellagra is caused by drinking soft water coming from a clay soil. Pellag?-a is prevented by drinking hard water whose "hardness" i-; due to the presence of the carbon ates of calcium and magnesium Pellagra is cured by the hypo dermic administration of a 10 per cent solution of sodium citrate, ''ive one cubic centimeter daily for fifteen to thirty days, according to the severity of the case, then on alternate days for as long a time. These measures are so simple, so exact, so scientific, so successful, so '?heap, that they do not. meet the approval of the public health sen ice. They would not require an appropriation of JISO.OOO at this time. A little newspaper publicity would inform the people of the endemic area. Those people would speedily Ki,t well, and there would be no more need of propa ganda. Pellagra in the United States is prevalent in the ivgions of the At lantic coastal plain, the Piedmont plateau, the Gulf coastal plain, the Ashland plateau, certain inland re - gions of the flanks of the Gzark. Boston, Oachita, Arbuckle and Wichita Mountains, and where the soils are derived from the shales of the Pennslvania series. Pel lagra is also occasionally found in northern states covered by glacial drift from the great Precambrian Shield around Hudson's Hay. Pel lagra iias the same geographical distribution as pine timber. Prairie countries do not have pellagra, as prairie soils are necessarily lime soils. Pellagra is not caused by maize alimentation. Pellagra, is not caused or communicated by the Buffalo gnat or Simulium fly. The theories of Lombroso and of am bon ha ve been definitely abandoned, as well as disproven. Pellagra is not on- o fthe "deficiency" "disease* The disease which was induced by Dr. Goldberg in the convicts in Mis sissippi was scurvy and not pel lagra.

Excellent 'progress on three of the large! [bridges of the state is reported by Chief Engineer Chas. H. Moorefield,, j of the state highway department. The year's bridge program of the [highway department included five ! large spans, over the Santee, the Wateree. the Pee Dee, and the Sa vannah at two points, Sand B.'*.r j [Ferry, near Augusta. and Savan-: nah.

Aug. 19.?A mob of nearly 2<ni men and women carrying ropes early today stormed riie local jail, threatening to lynch three Cape Verde islands negro prisoners charged with highway robbery and criminal assault on a young whi e woman at Buzzard's Bay. At 2:30 this morning 25 automo biles, whose occupants included wo men as well as men. drove up to the local jail. Others came on foot and together they marched on the jail entrance. They demanded the three negroes, John Dies, Benjamin Gomez and Joseph Andrews, from Sheriff Irving L. Rosenthal. There were shcuts of "Let's get them," as the mob approached the ...rick structure, but when the jail defenders, five men in all. fired in the air the crowd came to a halt. Chief vt trden James Boland warn ed the mob baclc. shouting that at the first attempt to attack the jail they "would be shot down like rats." The warning had its effect, but the crowd remained outside the jail nearly an hour and a half, still threatening an attack, while Sheriff Rosenthall. Chief Warden Boland and the three others stood guard u ith shot guns. There are ten prisoners in the Barnstable jail. Usually two men. are considered sufficient to guard it. Last night because of the Ware ham incident the sheriff personally took command and augmented the force to five. Today more guards will be added, and Sheriff Rosen thai intimated also that he might ask f< r state troops to help him. i'he second regiment of field artil lery of the Massachusetts guard is stationed five miles away on its suim :er encampment.

C, Aug. 20.?Sum mons have been served on officers and members of three Raleigh printing trades union restraining them from molesting, or interfer ing with employees who are at work in "open shop" p-inting plants. The temporary restraining ord >r issued oy Judge E. H. Cranmer of the fourth judicial district, at Smithfteld, which will be argued here September 3. prohibits the striking union employees from an noying the workers, from "shadow ing" the non-union employees or officials, from calling them "rats," "scabs," "runts," or from using threats to induce them to quit work. The union printers have been out or. strike since May 1. when their demand for a 44-hour week was denied. The temporar:.' restraining order is all inclusive in its scope and was applied for as a result cf ar> alleged system of "shadowing" adopted by the strikers in their warfare against non-union printers. Under this system, no "open shop" employee was allowed to get out of sight of strikers, who followed the men from the moment they left their boarding p:acos_in th^-mcm ing until they went to their romaa* for the night.
