Voting mueh time to a study of Oils . . v, I a .Aiintrv whlrh has appeared In South Carolina and other Kttc Recently he accompanied Cenator B. R. Tillman to Europe in order to study the foreign disease which he believed to be Identical with this. His oboervatlons aDroaa con firmed this belief. The malady has existed in Europe for three hundred years or more. The whole burden and weight of the testimony so far accumulated, ald Vr. Babcock, incriminates spoiled corn as the cause of the trouble. By ypoiled cera is here meant that which has become wet and allowed to ferment. All medical authorities, even while convicting this vegetable of the re sponsibility, admit the high value of good corn as a food. It la only of late that the exist ence of pellagra has been conceded In North America, but the syndrome f kin. Intestinal and mental symptoms pointed strongly toward the disease known by that name in southern Eu rope and It is new connldered estab lished by many that tiny are one and the same. The standard disor der is characterized by a squamous rythema confined to those portions of the skin which are exposed to the ac tion of heat and light; by a chronic inflammatory condition of the dljea tive passsges nhown rhlefly by obsti nate diarrhoea; and by a inoro or les severe lesion of the nervous system, leading at times to mental alienation and paralysis. These various symp toms are at flrot insignificant and In a certain way periodic they begin or recur In spring and diminish or disappear In winter. Later, they he come persistent, more and more mark ed and finally termlnsto fatally. In ten per cent, of the cases only dors Insanity result. Flit ST IN SPAIN'. The earliest account of this malady as an endemic infection conies from fipain where It wan recognized In 173S. t appeared In Italy Juttt prior to 1750 and was firHt specifically Investigated In 1771. It first appeared In south west France In 182:). It is found also In Egypt and Asia Minor. The disease attacks males and female In discriminately and no age Is exempt. Cases are on rerord of children of 14 months snd 2 1-2 yearn of age. tinder saniUry and preventive man agement It Is claimed that prllagra . has almost disappeared from France, but there are in Italy one hundred thousand canes of the disease that Is ten per cent, of the rural population. Zt Is said that thi-re are upwards of fifty thousand cases of pellagra In Kou mania. Tn caseg where the disease attacks the mind of the patient, and this should not be unduly emphasized, as this occurs In only ten per cent., being not so serious in ItM-lf as for tho physical state which It indicates, the melancholia usually results.

Beautiful and Touching Tribute Paid or Bishop Edward Bondtlialer, of intfton-Salein. "Our departed friend personified the hospitality for which the city in which he lived has become noted In North Carolina," was one of the truest and most significant statements made by Bishop Rondthaler, of the Moravian Church, of Winston-Salem. as he stood over the bler of Mr. H. C. Ec cles yesterday morning and delivered a profoundly sympathetic and touch ing tribute to this beloved citizen. A great gathering of friends heard his words aa they were feelingly express ed. The services were held at 11 o'clock In the apartments of the de ceased In the Belmont Uotel. Rev. H. K. Boyer read the Scrip ture In the exercises and Rev. H. H. Hulten delivered a beautiful prayer. A choir composed of Mesdames W. C Dowd. C. E. Mason, Miss Luclle With ers and Messrs, B. F. Withers and R M. Usher sang several appropriate se lections during the solemn services. "He whom we lay to rest to-day, who has departed from the earthly inn. was a kindly man." said the Bish op in his brief remarks. "He was a man sympathetic with all those in need, one whom It was a delight to know. In his life-work the deceased was placed at the very gates of Char lotte's hospitality and all will agree that no better representative of your city could hav welcomed slrangers , within. He filled a gTeat place nn I earth, and we trust, having left the Inn below, he has entered Into the mansions above." Bishop Rondthaler referred to his profession of faith shortly after the death of his wife, and the many as surances which had come to him per sonally that the deceased "fought a good fltht." A more sympathetic and touching tribute has seldom been hesrd In the city than that which h delivered over the body of his friend. The body was laid to rest In Elm wood. A great company of friends assembled at the grave. The floral tributes were numerous and beautiful. Dr. Klnyoun Here. Dr Josept Klnyoun. the relative of the late Mr. H. C.

Charleston, a. C will likely -be considered. ' Quite a delegation from Charlotte will at tend this meeting and take part in the discussions which will certainly take place. The seminary is a most desirable Institution, having an enr dowment fond and an excellent faculty under the leadership of - Dr. A. Or Voight, one of the ablest of the South ern ministers.

The officers of the Farmers' Union who conferred here yesterday made arrangements with tne owners of a local warehouse to take the cotton of the members of the organisation now at the rate of 15 cents a bale, this step having been taken in order to benefit the farmers as much as pos sible until the new warehouse is fin ished which will shortly be in course of construction. Those who wish to store their cotton in this tem porary warehouse can Negotiate with Mr. W. C. Crosby, of -Sharon township, secretary of the board of directors. Condemn Night Hiding. At a meeting of the Providence di vision of the county Farmers' Union held Friday night, strong resolutions were adopted in denunciation of the practices of night riders in this and other States. This Is merely a fore shadow of a stronger and more uni versal resolution which the county union will adopt at Its meeting next Caturday. Dr. H. Q.
