CUN CUBE PELLAGRA
B! BLOOD TRANSFUSION
CHICAGO, < >ot. 27.—That blood
transfusion is the cure for the mys
terious disease known as pellagra is
asserted here to-day as the result of
experiment conducted at the Cook
.county gnllrrnnry at Dunning, ill-,
where Dr. f. <». Wilhite says this
method of treatment l*is won in the
thirty-four cases treated to date.
“Pellagra is common tit our in
stitution," declared Dr. Wiihitc. "and
so far as we know the transl usion
of blood is the only reliable treat
ment. The best blood for inocula
tion comes from persons who have
been cured of the disease, and only
one transfusion is necessary. Short
ly niter the treatment the skin of
i the patient clears up and tie bi < ones
more active In body and ttiitul. I hat e
no doubt Hie. transfusion method will
prove a cure in nearly, if not in
all, cases."

First Show Proves a Great Draw

Crowd is Present.
OXKoRl'), .X, October 27.—The
1 first, Granville county tair opened
Wednesday morning tit Oxford under
the most favorable circumstances.
Ideal weather conditions added great
ly to the occasion, and people are
(locking from nil sections of the eoun
, ty and elsewhere.
The opening address was made by
I>r. IUU, of A. and M. College,
Kalelgh. Tin feature of the morning
was the military parade of the
"Grant ilie Greys,” Oxford's famous
military organization, and Companies
“A ’ and "l> " of the Horner Military
school and the Third regiment hand
of the North Carolina State Guard.
After the pTIratio a.,d speaking the
remainder of the morning was given
i over to the visitors in viewing the
exceptionally tine displays of corn and
other farm products, il\e stock and
farming implements. The exhibits of
women, including fancy work and
' exhibits pertaining to domestic science
proved to be one of l be features of
the entire fair and attracted constant
attention.
This is tire first fair ever attempted I
In-Granville, and to -ay that it is an'
imequnalitied success is to say that!
b ust of it, and it is hoped that it will I
| continue to improve both in useful- I
ness and for amusement, which in '
view of the interest that is being
manifested in this first event, seems |
! to be an assured fact Along the mid- I
way, in the side-shows, thronging the;
three exhlbt buildings and Scattered j
throughout the streets, the farmers
from all over tho county are in charge
of the county fair. They are. here :
: with their wives and children, they |
are here to see everything and have j
I a good time, and they are doing both j
j with a vim.
'EXHIBITS THRILL
i FARMVILLE FOLK
Di-play of Tobacco and Horses at
Fair Far Surpass All
Previous Shows.
FA KMVIJjLE, Ya , October 27.—|
The second day of the fair was j
ushered in clothed in bright sunshine I
and made delightful by bracing
breezes. The. crowd began to gather,
1 early and by noon the streets of the
town and the grounds of the exbilu- :
lion were alive with an eager, moving,
• ongeiiial and happy throng of peo- .
pie.
The exhibits were all in place and
the verdict was that they hud never
I been excelled at any local fair of the
jState. i
j .Most of tire premiums have been
; awarded but as y et the list has not
been given out. Mr Joe Hazlegrove,
the leading farmer of Cumberland,
won six premiums on tobacco and ;
one on wheat. Btr. if K. Barrow, one
of Farmvillc's progressive merchants
; as well as u huge and progressive
( farmer, exhibited a number of horses
: which have caused people to open
their eyes as to what may bo done
on the "shortgrnss" of Southstde Vir
ginia. Hiding horses, ridden by the
owners, attracted genuine interest. 1
Improvement In this class has been
marked in th. recent past. The
Northern railway exhibit is impres
sive, but as an old Southslde Virginia
farmer looked at the mammoth apples
and potatoes, said: -They may be lug
ger than ours but are nothing like so
good.” Tin ladles of different
ehuri lies have been feeding the j
hungry ones with the delicacies of
land and sea.
Fire broke out in Hotel Prince Kd
ward jit an early hour of the morning,
caused by the failing of a burning
coal from an open grate, but "mine

“NIX ON FANCY WORK” !
SAYS INSPECTOR BECK
.Plan of Board of Fire Commissi oners to Ibeorate allsand Ceiling
of Assembly Room in Ci tv Hall, is Firmly Rejected.
There is no quarrel between Build
ing Inspector Beck and President
i'harks F. Taylor, of the Board of
1'ire Commissioners, hut all the same
the lutter probably is of the opinion
that the former is sadly lacking In
tn appreciation of the beautiful—par
ticularly as regards paint.
Inspector Beck says he doesn't caro
whether he is artistic or not. Me says
ao knows what Is what, and that's all
these is to It. “I got my way," he
(includes, "and I'm satisfied.”
The question of appreciation or tem
perament arose some time ago when,
ihortly after the Fire Board saw to
l that engine house No. U was re
painted. While they were painting
several members of the board, Presl
lent Taylor included, conceived the
dea that it would bo real nice to do
hlngs to the wffTts and ceiling of
heir assembly room on the top floor
if the City Hall.
A few bright colors, some curly
jues and fHUgrees, and mayhap si
