INSANE FROM PELLAGRA.
Deranged Woman Drinks Poison and
Jumps Into Pond.
Anderson, S. C., June 15.?Becom
ing deranged as the result of an at
tack of pellagra, Mrs. J. E. Pilgrim
to-day ending her life by drinking
laudanum and afterwards jumping In
to a pond.
Recently Mrs. Pilgrim asked her
husband where the pond was deepest.
He informed her, and, when she was
missed during the morning, the pond
was dragged and her body was found
at the spot indicated. An empty
laudanum bottle was found on the
bank nearby.
Misunderstood the Word.
One of our new farmers several
years ago wrote back to his father
in the north about the prospects for
farming, and told the old gentleman
that as a side issue he had in mind
establishing an apiary?which is a
place for a collection of bees, as hon
ey was in great demand at the high
est market prices. After thinking
the matter over several weeks, the
old man wrote to his boy as fol
lows:
"Dear Son:?That must be a won
derful country of yours. Old Virgin
ia. Surely you can raise anything in
that state. The fact is, your old
dad didn't know there was an ape in
Virginia. I thought they growed in
South America and Borneo. And an
ape that makes honey beats me! If
you are going to start an apery, why
not grow some for the circus at the
same time? Of course, you know
your business, my son, but you had
better keep your eye on them. They
are pesky little rascals. Maybe the
Virginia ape is different from the
circus feller's apes, but I wouldn't
have one on my farm if they made
honey by the barrel. Be careful, son, ,
how you experiment with them new
fangled things. I have always fought
shy of apes and monkeys. Keep Sal
lie and the children away from the
apery."?Ex.
Top Prices and Good Roads.
Some figures in regard to the to
bacco season just closed at Durham
may illustrate la a concrete way one
of the advantages to be derived from
ro.id improvement. Not long ago a
road was constructed leading out of
Durham into Person county, at a cost
of $75,000. The enterprise elicited
come criticism and no little opposi
tion. It happens that Person is bet
ter suited to raising tobacco than is
Durham county, and largely as the re
sult of this road's influence Person
farmers sent to the Durham mar
ket approximately two million pounds
during the past year and obtained for
it an average of thirteen and a frac
tion cents, which is some three-quar
ters of a cent higher than the best
average heretofore recorded for that
market.
The possibility of ready marketing
when the prices on the floors made
such a course most attractive was
naturally increased by the road men
tioned. All farmers who are connect-'
ed with their market by dependable
roads enjoy a similar advantage over
those who are not.?Charlotte Obser

DAUGHTERS OF CONFEDERACY.
Henry L. Wyatt Chapisi- H: d? An
Interesting Melting With Its
President.
S>lnia, N. C., Jun<- 1").?The Henry
L. Wyatt Chapter of the Daughters
of the Confederacy met in the home of
the President, Mrs. G. A. Tuck, Mon
day afternoon, June 13th. Although
a call meeting and not a full attend
ance, on account of the stormy wea-1
ther, it was one of interest and full
of enthusiasm from beginning to end. ]
The Chapter unanimously gave Mr.'
and Mrs. Winston and the entire re- J
ceptlon comnlTttee and Mr. and Mrs.1
Mitchener a rising vote of thanks for
t:.iir invaluable assistance in making
the celebration on June the third a
success. The president then read
several appeals from different insti-,
tutions, to which this Chapter voted
contributions. The Educational Fund
was given ten dollars, the Widows
Home five dollars and different mon
ument funds in the State smaller
contributions.
Different committees were form
ed to aid in carrying out the great
work of this Chapter.
July the tenth will be the next date
of meeting.
MUST NOT CRITICIZE HIM.
Taft Set Precedent When He Refus
ed To See Political Foe.
Washington, June 12.?There was
much comment yesterday concerning
President Taft's refusal to receive
Representative Francis Burton Harri
son of New York on Thursday be
cause Mr. Harrison had criticised the
actions of the President and Attor
ney-General Wlckersham in connectioi
with the predating of the Wicker
sham memorandum on the Glavis-Pin
chot charges.
So far as the memory of men fa
miliar with official life here is con-1
cerned, there has been no precedent
for the President's refusal to see Mr.!
__ _ . _ i
Harrison, except perhaps one, which
Mr. Taft made a few months ago. In
that case, Mr. Taft sent word to Dele-1
gate Wickersham of Alaska that he
did not care to see him.
Mr. W ickersham had opposed the
administration bill changing the gov
ernment of that territory and had
used some stronge language before
the house committee on territories.!
He desired to see the President, to
taSk over his own bill providing for a
change in the form of Alaska's gov-]
eminent. He telephoned to the White
House and asked for an audience. Mr.
Taft sent word through his secretary
that he would not see the Alaskan'
delegate. The incident did not come
to light, however, until yesterday.
Mr. Taft has had grievances before
against congressmen and has not hes-j
itated to tell friends about them, but]
he never has put the ban on them.1
In the last few weeks there have been
some progressive members of the sen
at who did not care to call at the
White House, but, so far as could1
be learned yesterday, here was none
who would not have been received if
he had cared to call.
It has been said, too, that Mr. Taft
should not have cancelled the ap
pointment with Mr. Harrison, because j
it had been ma'de long ago. The Pres-1
ident, however, knew nothing about
that appointment, just as he knows]
nothing about many similar appoint-'
menu-made each day. His secretary!
attends to most appointments, and the
President knows nothing about who is
coming until the doorkeeper notifies!
him.
Corn Guiltless, After All.
Pellagra does not originate from
corn. This welcome statement conies
in the form of a positive verdict re
turned by several Italian scientists
who have been studying the disease'
in northern Italy, its principal home.1
The investigators, moreover, not only
acquit corn but bring in a positive
verdict of guilty against something
else. The newly alleged criminal j
passes by the fearful and wonderful
name of simullum reptans, and is
a species of biting gnat. Dr. Sam
born, one of the scientific men, had
advanced the theory that pellagra,
like malaria, yellow fever, sleeping
sickness and various other ills, would
ultimately be traced to an insect's
bite. He and his colleagues now
consider this theory proved. Just
what insect should be arrested on
the charge of causing pellagra in
America is not indicated, but Italy's
pellagra problem is set down as
solved.
We don't know what causes pel
lagra, but we are anxious to have
the criminal agent detected. Hos
pitable to all theories which promise
abatement of a terrible disease, but
especially hospitable to theories whic
acquit corn, we present the Italian
conclusion for whatever it may be
worth.?Charlotte Observer.

State Normal College.
We desire to call attention to the
advertisement of the State Normal
and Industrial College which appears
in this issue. Every year shows a
steady growth In this institution de
voted to the higher education of the
women of North Carolina.
The College last year had a total
enrollment of 993 students. Ninety
of the ninety-eight counties of the
State had representatives in the
student body. Nine-tenths of all the
graduates of this institution have
taught or are now teaching in the
schoo'.s of North Carolipa.
The dormitories are furnished by
the State arid board is provided at
actual cost. Two hundred appoint
ments to the dormitories, apportioned
among the several counties according
to school population, will be awarded
to app'icarts p.bout the middle of j
July. Students who wiih to attend
this ins'ltutlon next year should make
applicn' ion as ear'y a? possible, as
the capacity of the doricitories fa
limited.

BOTH GROWERS AND BUYERS ENTHUSIASTIC OVER
The Benthall Peanut Picker
Peanut growers and buyers alike declare the Ben
thall Peanut Picker the only absolutely satisfactory
picker made. ,
Growers do the work of forty men with one machine, and more than double
their profits. It picks Spanish or Virginia varieties with equal satisfaction. It
picks while the vines are in a condition for saving, thus giving a crop as good as
alfalfa. Buyers declare Benthall picked nuts cleaner and much more desirable than
hand picked nuts.
Vines are fed to picker like grain to thresher. Nuts come out whole and
clean. 1 he stemming and cleaning capacity has been increased, and the weak parts
in the 1909 models corrected. 13 ft. model run by horse or applied power; 16 ft
model applied power only.
All horsepower machines will have 1908 shoe or shaker, and we will build
machines if desired with 1910 general construction and 1908 shoe or shaker.
Standard Peanut Co. buyers say : "It is a standing rule with our buyers to
give preference to machine picked peanuts, as in our opinion they are far superior."
W. F. Jones, grower, writes: "Threshed 173 sacks of Virginia nuts in one day.
Can thresh 100 to 125 sacks Spanish." E. J. Railey : * I threshed 1609 bag: with
repair bill of only 75 cents."
Big monej picking for your neighbors Write for free booklet giving pic
tures and full information. It will mean much in profits for you.
