Ilaynes, perhaps a physician, in writing the Charlotte Observer, gives what he believes to be the cause of the new di sease, pellagra, which is reaping a rich harvest in the South. Says Mr. Ilaynes It is estimated that are 5,000 cases in the southern btates. tnis is not so startling. The thing that astonishes me most is that there are not ten times that number of cases in North Carolina, Conditions for the development of pel lagra (also for tuberculosis) are prob ably more favorable at Wilmington and the coast towns than other sections of the State owing to the excess of mois ture. It is the general be'ief that i fungous growth (that we call mold) is the cause of the disease. It is well known that mold develops in dark, damp places. I do not think well of the idea that pellagra is caused by eat iog diseased corn meal, as cooking would undoubtedly kill these vegetable organitms, Tne simplest and surest way for this mold to get into the system is through the lungs. The mold is de veloped in dark houses, cellars, closets, parlors, churches, etc, Mold is what gives the "spare room" its musty smell. Now it is very easy to prevent pella gra when we understand its cause, The absence of sunlight in the house is the cause, so it is a very simple matter to prevent this, and other diseases. But people like darkness The light will fade carpets and "show up" things too plainly, etc. I have traveled two years in North Carolina and Virginia, and have suffer ed a headache each time I went into the e dark, musty rooms. I avoid shaded and shuttered houses. The people who are .most liable to pellagra are ladies, who keep all sun light out of their houses, and negroes, who can't afford to have windows. The conditions in negro cabins are especially favorable for the production of mold. With the dampness from the "washing" darkness and general unsanitary condi tions it is a fine breeding place for di seases. I hope these suggestions may be the means of inducing people to "let a lit tle suashine In." Mr. Overman Commissioner. Mr. C. II. Overman has been elected commissioner to succeed Mr, J, E. Heinzerling, resigned. He is no new hand at the job, having served in this capacity previously. The board as it now stands is as fol lows: It. L. Snead, J. E. Smith, J. B. Pipkin, Dr. J. N. Hester, Mr. Overman. Of these only the first three were elect ed in May. There seems to be a very few of the citizens who are willing to serve the town as commissioner these days. Dur ing the several vacancies which have occurred since the May election we have not heard of a single candidate to fill a place on the board. Perhaps it is due to the fact that much remains to be done during the next two years, and that the work is tedious and labor ious. . . ': A new electric plant is to be erected and equipped throughout; the water supply is to be increased; complete sewerage is to be installed, and side walks are to be laid on practically all the outlying streets of the city. Danville School Wins. The Danville School football team de feated the eleven from Reidsville on the former's athletic field Tuesday after ternoon by the score of 58 to 0. The game was one sided from the start and at no stage was Danville unable to do whatever they chose. It seldom took over three downs for to score a touch down. Open, fast playing contrasted to the fumbles of the visitors resulted in the victory. The game game was originally ar ranged for the strong eleven from the West End school, but at the eleventh hour this team decided not to go and Prof. Shelley took down some of the Seminary boys. It is expected that the Danville eleven will come up to play with the West End School's team at an early date, and if so they will have a more interesting con test. ' "-' - ' Death of Mr. D. H. Pannill. Mr, D. II. Pannill, Sr., a native of Pittsylvania county, but who has made his home in Martinsville for about ten years, died there rather suddenly at an early hour Tuesday morning, Mr. Pan nill was paralyzed several years ago; has been an invalid ever since.

Friends of The Paper Urged to Call and See The New Addition In Action. 1 In an effort to keep up with the march "of progress In the ever grow ing city la which: The Review lives and has its being, it has become nec essary for. us to provide facilities for getting up a paper which is In every way superior to what we have been able to supply heretofore. Ac cordingly we have this week in stalled a linotype machine, and here after all of hte matter for use in our columns will be set on the new ma chinea wonder of the centurv. We have no tmade much noise ov er the installation of this labor-saving device for the reason that we have promised our constituents from timi to time, that we would nroviiic Reidsville with a paper commensu rate with the needs arid Importance of the town. We have equipped an office .. that would compare favorably with any office In any city the size of Reidsville. and consiilerine that we have issued the paper twice each week at the usual price charged by the weekly papers we thit?k we have given Our patrons a servicf. that is worth what they have paid for it. In the future we propose ' to make The Review much more interesting than formerly. . We can now handle local, county and State news in greater quantities and we expect. t0 make The Review a min-br, as it were, reflecting the news In ev ery township, village and hamlot of; the county and in Caswell county iu which our circulation justifies it. We trust to have our crops of loyal cor respondents get busy during the, win ter months and supply us with every item of news in their respective sec tions, and we hone- to mhi k large number of correspondents 10 he'p in this work. The Review has incurred an ex pense in putting in the linotype, and we have 'anticipated that an army of faithful subscribers who have re sponded nobly to the paper's needs in the past would com forward now and help us bear the new burden. We do not usually dun subscribers through these -columns nor do we ex pect to do so now, but we think un der the circumstances that we tulmht be privileged to call the attention of our friends to the fact that we will appreciate it if they will drop In as early as possible ami pay a dollar on subscription. This is the marketins time for farmers of H:m section, and we trust that every one of them who reads The Review- and appreciates its semi-weekly visits will tive us a call and bring along a dollar. We are going to keep open house during the next few weeks. We cordially invite every reader of the paper to call and see the machine and w-e can assure them that they will be repaid to witness the. oper ation of the wonderful machine Is well worth the time which may be required. The machine does the work of six. or eight printers, il casts its type. thus giving the paper a new dress ev ery issue. One man operats it, and a gasoline engine furnishes the power. Call In at your earliest convenience and see the machine. We will feel highly complimented if our friends appear manifested in The Review's welfare and prosperity. Installing a linotype is the realization of the drean s of every publisher of a country newspaper, ' Oar deiia ha at' last-b.c..;iue a rellUw Coui i ;t"d rejoice with us. 0fS fs from Royal Grape Cream of Tartar Vyfv . s-i. made from Grapes s) TSi& tUhoZvtnoci fWcfViwlX V Seminary Notes. Manager Shelley and Captain V. B. Stokes took the Seminary eleven over to Danville Thursday to meet theelevch of the Danville School for boys. Our boys were defeated but it takes more pluck and determination to bear a de feat than a victory, and the boys are ready for another game. The Seminary team was especially delighted with the clean playing of the Danville boys and the royal hospitality extended to our team. ' The musical talent of the city met Tuesday evening in ; the Seminary chapel and under Miss Schumacher's and Prof. Shelley's direction organized a chorusiclub. This kind of thing is very much need- el in Reidsville anrl as there were quite number of Reidsville's best talent present there are bright prospects in view. v Mr. Shelley and little Geo. LeRoy, Jr., have returned from Mrs. Miller's funeral, and Mrs. Shelley and baby, Joe, will come in a few days, The classes in Musical History and expression are growing in interest and numbers, but "the more the merrier." The Seminary enrollment steadily in creases and the students are delight fully faithful and enthusiastic. We are sure that Mrs. Shelley's friends w ill be grieved to learn that her mother, Mrs, Miller, died last week. Synod's Most Important Work. The annual session of the synod cov ers a period of four days, during which time the work of the church in the State is discussed by many prominent men. There are about two hundred lay and clerical delegates present from all parts of North Carolina. The reports of the work done by the Presbyterian church at home and abroad have been received and discuss ed and the plans for the coming year given consideration. The principal part of the session, how ever, is the discussion of the missionary work done in North Carolina and es pecially in the mountain - sections, wh ;re there are a large number of mis sion schools and other. institutions for the development of the people and con ditions. Cr. R. F, Campbell, of Ashe ville, who is closely associated with this branch of the, church's work, makes the principal address, his subject being "The Call of the Homeland." Mystery Cleared, A year and a half ago a friendless girl was murdered in a forsaken patch of wjodlarid near Islip, Long Island; a. week -ago her bleached and charred skeleton was found, with nothing to in dicate its identity but her jewelry and a bill of sale from a German shop; three days later through the police of Ham burg, Germany, her idenTity was estab lished; Sunday night her husband, Frederick Gebhardt, was caught in As toria, L. I ., by a photographer's flash light and he confessed that is her slay er. He claims that he married her be cause he did not care to live with his first wife any longer, but desire to s e his child caused him to commit murder and return to his first love. Mrs. Margaret Cotton Passes. Mrs. Margaret Cotton died Saturday afternoon at her homo at Guilford Col lege after an illness of several weeks. She was 81 years old, but retained her clearness of mind to the very last. The funeral services w ere conducted by Rev. Mr. Peele and Rev. Mr. Bowles of Greensboro, the large gathering of friends at the last sad rites being an ex cellent testimonial of the love in which she was held in the community. Mrs. Cotton formerly resided in Reidsville and was the mother of the late R. D.Cotton. Frlxlilful Fnte Aert!l.

CHILDREN LOST FIVE OF THEM BURNED IN AN ORPHANAGE. Terrible Catastrophe At The Shelton Memorial Cottage Near Lynchburg. Late Tuesday afternoon the remains of the five children who were burned in the fire which destroyed the Shelton cottages at the Presbyterian orphan's home, near Lynchburg were recovered, though they were burned past recogni tion, A coroner's inquest threw no light on the cause of the fire, bu't the verdict in cluded a statement fully exonorating the home authorities from blame. . , Reports show that the fire was dis covered by . the housekeeper in her room on the second floor by smoke is suing through the speaking tube con necting her room with the kitchin. She was up to begin her duties, for the day. The children were all inmates of the nursery. The children were all in the second floor of the of the building and they were caught by the fire in a manner that made their rescue impossible. One was taken out of the building, but when she ascertained that the younger sister was still inside she ran back into the burn ing building and lost her life. The lire was discovered by the cook, who was" aroused by the roar of the flames. When she saw that it was im possible to get the childreno out by the stairway, the entire basement and fifat floor at that time being enveloped, and that it would be but a few minutes be fore the whole building would fall, she rushed to the third story and brought fifteen children down to the second floor, leading them to the Veranda top, where they were taken down a ladder, seveial of them dropping iDto out stretched arms of the older boys in the institution,. When the children were all safe, the cook had to jump for her life and in so doing sustained a dislocated shoulder, a scalp wound, and an injury to her back. She will probably recover. While all of the escapes were miracu lous, only one of the girls rescued was injured and she escaped with a sprain ed ankle, sustained by jumping. Dr. R. H. Flenning, the superintend-! ent, was away at the time of the fire, and there were no men about except some distance away in the farm houses. When they reached the burning struc ture it was too late to save the little tots. The women could not save them for they barely succeeded in saving twent) four of the other jirls. The Shelton cottage was a gift to the Presbpterian denomination by Mrs, F. X. Burton, of Danville, and was named in hodor of her parents. The Right Newspaper Ideal. The Stanley Enterprise says: We had rather be called into acconnt for failing to print some items of rumor than for publishing one item of news where it brought needless tears to the eyes of some woman and children who had an inhuman husband and father, or for use lessly bringing into limelight the name of some man when to do so would be an unj ust reflection upon his character and integrity. There is some news that is not intended for the public ej e, and, ike family skeletons, should be with held. We had rather have it as our mission to build up than to tear down, and to see good in our fellow man than to seek but the evil. The editor has a place that calls for much care and thought in the exercise of his freedom,' and it is one tha , is too often abused. Out After City Taxea. Capt. James W. Peay, the gallant, courteous, clever city tax . collector, is on his rounds again, this year several months earlier than usual. The city fathers ai e in need of money to keep up with the- current expenses, and the word has been passed to the tax collec t3T to get busy. The money must be forthcoming. OfCOurse Capt. Peay is obliging and accomodating and would be glad to call again, but the commissioners have in structed him to get the coin on his first visit, and the citizens might as well be prepared to cough it up when he enters their portals. The town needs the money, and it must be forthcoming. U Honor Mrs. Kemp. Miss Katharine Ellington entertained at bridgo on Tuesday morning in honor of MryF. B. Kemp, of Mayodan.
