Real Vase Of Eellegra.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Aug. 18.—The
first real case of pellagra to be
discovered in Little Rock is un
der treatment at St. Vincent’s
Infirmary. The patient is Miss
Mollie Terrell, a sister of the for
mer Assistant Secretary Terrell
of the Arkansas Senate, now
connected with the Department
of Education. Miss Terrell is 17
years of age, and while no case
has ever been known to be cured,
the attending physicians state
they have gotten this one in
time to conquer the ravages of
the disease, but they expect it to
take a year or more to accom
plish that end.
Miss Terrell a short time ago
felt an eruption upon her arm,
something like a blister follow
ing sunburn. A physician was
consulted after it had spread a
bit, but informed the sufferer
that there was nothing serious |
ailing her, so the disease was
permitted to get a good start be
fore several physicians held' a j
conference, to which an expert;
was called, and the disease pro
nounced pellagra.

Failed To Appear.
The management of the opera ;
house regret the disappointment
caused by the failure of the vau
deville company not arriving as
advertised but now can clearly'
see why. In answering their
last letter we stated that unless
they could deliver the goods, we
would rather not book them.
They answered to book them, |
but failed to carry out their part j
so the only conclusion we reach j
was that they were evidently |
not much.
Thanking the public for their j
liberal patronage of the otherl
entertainments and hoping that

EXPECT BILL
. TO : E SUBMITTED
Opponents Of New Revenue
Law Say It ( an Be Sub
mitted.
Little Rock Aug. 18.—The
statement by the Tax Commis
sion Thursday that the Turner-.
Jacobsen bill could not be refer
ed to the voters of the state un- j
der the Initiative and Referen
dum, has created quite a bit of
excitement among those who
were fighting for the reference
through petitions in circulation, j
They will not admit that the Tax ,
Commission knows all the law I
in the matter and say they will j
be ready when the time comes j
to fight it out in court, the cir- j
dilating of petitions going mer-1
rily on in the meantime.
It is claimed by the members
of the Tax Commission, and by
some prominent attorneys of
Little Rock with whom the mem
bers consulted, that the Turner
Jacobsen bill cannot be referred
to the people because it became
a law before the Initiative and
V> j-i_- u.-n I
XVV1V1 VAlViUia VtiVlj LIAM ICULtl Mill
being signed by Governor Dona
ghey two days after the revenue
measure. There are prominent
attorneys who claim the Initia
tive and Referendum measure
went into effect the day it was
adopted by the people of the
state as an amendment to the
state, and no legislative act was
necessary to pass an act of the
legislature to make it legal.
How the fight is to get into
the courts has not yet been de
cided upon, but it is easy to see
that some of the most promi
nent attorneys of Arkansas will
be brought into action within a
short time, and the Supreme
Court will be asked for an opin
ion, no matter which way the
lower court decides.
Took Pills For Candy.
Jonesboro, Aug. 17.—Cather
ine Margaret Hudson, living
with her parents on Bridge
street, is a precocious youngster
and her inquisitiveness ye.Mei-j
day nearly cost her her young
life. Her mother was busy with
her household duties when the
little girl spied some “candy,” to
which she helped herself. In
however, proved to be Gascara
pills and doctors were hurriedly
summoned when the parents a
moment later discovered the lit
tle girfs action. She was pro
nounced out of danger today.
