Wo. a. of Wilminglon, on "A farther rt'i-crt on the Pcllegra problem." Dr. VooJ has been giving his time up to a study of this interesting disease in (..vinertion with Dr. R: H. BellamY, of Wilmington, and . while he-has made several interesting discoveries, much is vet . unknown in T&BmrA in this disease, which .he termed one of the most dangerous next to tuber culosis, and the Look worm that the people of Eastern North Carolina aDd the South had to face He said lie had found this disease widely pre valent in the eastern counties, par ticularly in New Hanover county, and Wilmington. Dr. Wood has re-' ceived some aid from the United Stares Marine Hospital Corps, bat n' i. h that is at present known be-lon-s to the work of North Carolina physicians. " " IV. Woods reported that, while the ilea is thSt Pellegra is connected with and due to the eating of corn and com bread, he was not convinced that it was due entirely to the use of either of these. The thone-ht that GENERAL PROSPERITY PREVAILS IN THE SOUTHLAND iue Baltimore Manufacturers' Kecord gives a concise idea of the prevaling prosperity in the South as follows "The financial condition of the South is excellent, and all indications are of the most favorable character. The crops last year were good and the prospects for 1909 are exceeding ly encouraging. An exchange says that taking seven of the principal Southern crops as a standard of parison, it appears that the gained nearly $100,000,000 in -f9b as contrasted with 1907, last year's crops being worth so much more than those -of 1907.

After this vote had been taken there was an effort to reach . an agreement upon a time for voting upon the various income and corpora tion tax propositions. Mr. Aldrch sought to obtain a gen eral agreement to postpone the furth er consideration of this question until after the disposal of the tariff sched ules, but Senators Bailey and Cum mins insisted upon coupling with the agreement an understanding - that there should be taken a direct vote on the adoption of an income tax amendment and no agreement was reached.

"It is stated by the same auth ority that the eoiton crop, with its seed, is worth probably at least $700, (00,000 more, while the rice harvest is placed at $17,771,281, the su.ar cane yield is appraised at $34,000, 00, making the grand aggregate for the 10 Southern crops not less than $1,542,000,000. This . total must - be increased by the poultry and dairy products, by garden truck and qther agricultural crops, which, it is esti mated, add perhaps $700,000,000 to the wealth of the South. "With these facts and figures in view, it is assumed that the present year will be attended with much pros perity, and that trade in the various Southern states will be much larger man ior some years past IS MATERIALLY RAISED of the chamber, and, while technical ly based upon the tariff, had more pertinent reference to the Democratic national platform. . The imemdiate subject of debate was an interview with former Congressman John E.

Among those who were referred to were Sen ators Daniel, of Virginia, and "Sim mons, of North Carolina, and each made response to the criticism. During the course of his remarks, Senator Hughes took occasion to op pose the policy of attempting to im pose an income tax by the round about way of a constitutional amend ment.

It is, of course, understood that the special agents are loosing into the allegations that the compromise disclosed conditions in the original settlement between the two corporations involving a viola tion of the Sherman anti-trnst law. A local paper prints what purports to be an interview with T-Attornev General Bonaparte, which in effect, amounts to a declaration that during his administration the Department of Justice was without the evidence necessary for a successful nrosecn tion.
