Asheville, Special. The 56th an

Medical Association was convened
here Tuesday. ; ; v 'y rip
V A most interesting paper was
" read and discussed by Dr. E.
Wood, o Wilmington, on "A further
report on the Pellegra problem." Dr.
' Wood has been giving his time up to
a study of this interesting disease in
connection with Dr. R. H. Bellamy,
of Wilmington, and , while he. has
made several interesting discoveries,
much is yet unknown in regard to
. this disease, which he termed one
' of the most dangerous, next to tuber
culosis, and the book worm that the
people of Eastern North Carolina
and the South had. to face - He said
he bad 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
States Marine Hospital Corps, hat
much that is at present known be
longs to the work of North Carolina
physicians.
Dr. Woods reported that, while the
idea is that Pellegra is connected
with and due td the eating of corn
and corn bread, he was not convinced
that it was due entirely to the use
of either of these. The thought that

as yet he had been unable to discover
the1 germ. He referred to the work
of Teitzonia on the subject and some
of the. experiments that he had per
formed in Germany, but was of the
opinion thatthe disease in the South
was of a much more malignant va
riety than that in Europe. Dr. Wood
teported that he had heated corn up

had not been able to destroy the pel

. Dr. Wood reported that he does
not believe that Pellegra is due ' to
ptomaine poisoning, but to some
germ which as yet-has not been suc

COTTON REPORf ISSUED
Government Publishes Remits of Ex
pert's Study Sea Island Cotton
Acreage. Has Not Changed Much
Sines 1900. t
Washington, Special. Daniel C.
Roper, of the United States census
bureau, has just prepared a compre
hensive report on the eotton industry
in the United States last year.
In reference to the cntivation of
sea island cotton this report says:
The cultivation of sea island eotton in
the United States at the present time,
as shown by returns of ginners, '
confined to 17 counties in Florida,
26 in Georgia, and 4 in South Caro
lina, or a total of 47 counties. It is
cot grown, however, throughout the
counties from which it is returned,
Ihe area given to this culture in 1899,
as returned at the 1900 census, and
which has probably not changed ma
terially, was 317,445 acres, distribut
ed as follows: Georgia, 170,756;
Fiorida, 122,787; and South Carolina,
23,902. Experiments have been made
iu many other parts of these States,
and in other States, to grow this eot
ton, buf so unsatisfactory have been
the results that all efforts to grow it
outside of certain well-defined areas
in the States named have been aban
doned. Farmers who grow sea island
cotton in the interior secure new seed
frequently from the coast regions in
order to preserve its identity, as the
fiber degenrates rapidly into that of
upland cotton. The distribution of
sea island cotton by counties for the
last five years will be found in Tablo
15, and the localities producing it act
represented on Map 1, page 24.
The increased demand in recent
years for superior staples is develop
ing better varieties of upland cotton
by seed selection and more careful
sultivation. The United States de
partment of agriculture, has been and
is now rendering very valuable ser
vice in assisting the growers along
these lines. The long staples grown
chiefly in the portion, of the Missis
lippi. Valley, which extends from
VicksTmrg to" Memphis," a region about
57 miles wide and 200 miles long, are
receiving more attention than hereto
fore. The fiber,of much of the eotton
grown in this territory measures
from one and one-fourth to
one and seven-eighths inches in
length, and the average yield is about
one bale to the acre. The seeds of
these fancy varieties have been plant
ed in localities outside of this region
the last two or three years with grati
fying results, as the staple not in
frequently commands a premium t f
from 5 to 10 cents a pound over mid
dling upland. Unfortunately, . few
of the loaclities producing this cotton
are supplied with the ginning facili
ties best suited for the proper treat
ment of the fiber; saw gins, which cut
and break the fiber, are generally em
ployed. In contrast with this prac
tice attention is directed to the fact
that the Egyptian and sea island cot
tons are treated by roller gins, which
contribute to regularity and unifor
mity in the fiber.
The increase of the imports of for
eign cottons which come in competi
tion with sea island and other su
perior cottons grown in, this country
has aroused the American growers,' as
is evidenced by the fact that, when
the Payne tariff bill was recently un
der consideration, representatives of
the growers of sea island cotton and
of the best varieties produced in the
Mississippi Valley petitioned Cong
ress for the speedy enactment of an
amendment to the tariff laws, by
which an import duty of not less than
40 per eent would be imposed ea the
market valuation of all foreign grown
eotton imported into America, which
can be used as a substitute or compe
titor by American mills against simi
lar grades raised in this country. It
may be stated in this connection that
the importation of foreign cotton for
the year ending August 31, 1908,
amounted to . 143,490 bales of 500
pounds each, of which' 122470 were
imported direct from Egypt; the pro
duction of sea island cotton in 1908
was 93,858 bales, and that of the su
perior varieties grown in the Missis
sippi Valley has been estimated at
about 300,000 bales.
