The iVlcKanna Pellagra
Treatment Works Well in
Few Days.
Dr. J. J. McKanna, of Reidaville,
was here Thursday, accompanying Mrs
C. R. Brown home after two weeks
treatment for pellagia.
This is one of the typical cases sin
gled out for his treatment, and he took
her without charge as he has promised
to do several others. Dr, McKanna is
rot claiming a complete cure, but that
she is on the ro&d to recovery and does
say that if the treatmsnt which he
has begun is continued, Mrs. Brown
will recover.
Dr. E. H. Bowling became interest
ed in the case, taking the ground that
of Dr. McKanna bad anything on this
awful disease that the medical men
generally haye not, the Reidsville doc
tor was welcome to practice on all the
Durham doctor’s patients. “Sometime
ago a native African at Shaw Univer
sity treated one of my pellagra patien
ts,” Dr. Bowling said, “and he did
her a g reat deal more of good than
was able to do. I have always believ
ed that if he had taken her in time he
would have cured her. I only wish he
had done so. You see that native Sen-
egambian knew more about pellagra,
living in Sit rra Letne, than I did be
cause lie had A'atched and studied it. 1
am doing al; that I can to find more
facts. 1 don’t care whe *e they come
from.
*•[ hnve seen Mrs. Brown. She is
much improved. I won’t say that she
is cured, neither does Dr. McKanna.
He has been able to accomplish more
in the same length of time than I haye
been able to do, though she was never
my regular patient. I hope the treat
ment will be continued and that every
case that goes there will be cured.'* —

Canneries in the South.
One of the finest fields open for pro
fitable industry or investment in the
Southeast today is that of vegetable
and fruit canning. There is no South
ern State which has not numbers of lo
calities in which a canning factory
would thrive and make large profits.
There is a great need throughout the
South today for canneries.
The South is almost an ideal location
for a cannary. The Southern trucker
and fruit erower has at his command
more different vegetables and fruits
than his Northern competitor; he has a
much longer growing season in which
to produce mi>re crops of these per
year; he finds cheap lands admirably
adapted for the large production of the
material he needs in the canning busi
ness; and, most important of all, he
finds a market right in the Southeast—
a market which hardly existed a decade
ago, but which is today far beyond the
supplies of local canneries, and which
is steadily growing in size and demand.
Hobbles or Trousers.
The worst has happened.
The spirit of Amelia Bloomer and Dr
Mary Walker will not down.
Mrs. Howard Warren and Mrs. Ethel
H. Stewart of St. Louis are demand-
ing that women be permitted to adopt
trousers m their conventional garb.
According to the leading clubwomen
an j clergymen of Atlanta, trousers
would be far moi.'e modest than the at
tenuated hobbleft which the much tint
ed women of the Sonthern metropolis
are wearing on the streets.
Manufacturers of dress goods would
also doubtless favor trousers, because
they require so much more cloth than
the single pantaloon effect now fo
greatly in vogue. The scantiness of
the modern skirt makes it possible to
cut a gown from about one-teird the
material required by the fasLi^ns of a
few years ago, and as a result many of
the looms which used to make dress
goods are idle.
But why should the St. Louis women
demand the right to wear the bifurcat
ed? Dr. Mary Walker has been wear-
inflf doeskm tiousers and a broadclotq
coat and high hat for so long that even
the oldest inhabitants can’t tell when
she b^an. The hadn’t been put m
jaiL In fact, she has become a na
tional institution. No session of Con
gress would be complete without Dr.
Mary as a visitor in the galleries ot
the House and Senate. She marches
up and down Broadway with impunity.

A Good Corn Yield.
C. G. Medlin, of Salisbury, North
Carolina, writes regarding his 66-bush-
el-to-the-acre corn crop of last season;
**I selected 12 ecres of second bot
tom land, which had not grown a crop
for years,, cleared it of shrubs, weeds
and broomsedge and sowed it to crimson
clover in the fall. This clover was pas
tured off in the sprirg and then turned
under with a disc and drag harrow. I
planted tha com with a 12-inch plate,
uring $3,50 worth of high grade fertili
zer to the acre. It was cultivated three
times as soon as the ground was in
condition after a rain and Inter, when
the corn was too high for cultivators,
water drains were run with a small
scooter plow.
“The corn was cut and shocked after
becoming well glazed, and left standing
until December. I yielded 800 bushels
of fine corn, anc more roughness shred-
ed; than I have ever seen co.ne off the
same amount of ground. This same
roughness, when figured up as feed for
my stock, more than repaid me for the
cost ot growing the twelve acres, leav
ing the corn as clear profit.”

Let’s Get Some of Them.
This is a great country we Southern
ers have. It’s a pity more folks don’t
know about it. The finer strata of im
migrant population that is settlirg in
th« boasted West and the blizzardly
North ought to have some better way
of finding out that beside triumphant
opportunity in the South there is a fine
citizenship, a matchless climate, a pro
gressive and liberty-worshipping peo
ple. This is, by the way, in order to
remark upan the importance of the con-
ference which the Governors of the fif
teen Southern States have been invited
to attend in Baltimore in December to
discuss the problem of biinging people
here
The Northern States have claimed
the larger quota of the inflowing tide
on the ground of opportunity in man
ufacturing enterprises. The South is
wresting this name and opportunity
from its feljows up the way. The West
has been securing another lai-ge pro
portion of the newcomers on the t;round
of opportunity for agricultural pursuit.
There are millions of fertile acres in
the South that lie in inviting splendor
to the man of orher birth. Conditions
are so rapidly changing that there is ro
eqcuse for the South getting so small a
number of immigrants.—Charlotte Ob
server.
The discovery of the western phos
phate beds constitute a roost important
find, and though the first reconnais
sance of these deposits by the Geologi
cal Survey showed their considerable
extent, the more detailed study and ex
ploration, with additional discoveries
made by the Survey during the last
three years, have shown that the field is
probably the greatest in the world.
Recently geologic study of the phos-
phate-bearin«^ strate indicate the pro
bably still greater extension of the
phosphate area. The northernmost
portion of the beds first discovered was
in Wyoming, but an outcrop of the
same character and in the same geolo
gic formation was found last year in
Montana, some 160 miles further north
so that Survey geologists believe that
workable phasphate beds may be found
in many other places.
The Geological Survey has just pub
lished a bulletin embracing three re
ports on western phosphate fields, one
covering a portion of the Idaho phos
phate reserve, by P. W. Richards and
G. R Mansfield, another on rock phos.
ph%de near Melrose, Mont., by Hoyt S.
Gale, and a third being a reconnaissan
ce report of the phosphate deponts in
western Montana, by Fliot Blackwel-
der. The report ba Messrs. Richards
and Minsfield includes a detailed des*
cription of the Idaho field, the investi
gations having been made by townships
the outcrops examined, and the ton
nage of high-grade phosphate rock es
timated. The result is highly gratify
ing. Tonnage estimates were made of
the phosphate rock m nine townsmps,
and in no township was there found to
be less than approximately 60,000.000
tons of high-grade phosphate rock, con
taining for the most part from 50 to 82
per cent phosphoric acin. Phosphate
rock containing 60 to 65 per cent phos
phoric acid is generally considered high
grade.
The Growing South.
Yes, the south is forging ahead at a
great rate The fourteen southern
states, with Missouri and Oklahoms,

tion of the United States in 1880 Since jEfland^ three miles of Cheeks Crossing.
