LOST TREASURE.
Strange Recovery of Money Buried During
the War.

Strange Recovery or Money buried During
the War.
At the close of the war, when Gen.
Sherman's army was marching about
Ohio, people who had money in the local
bank of High Point withdrew it and
endeavored to conceal it. An old man
of the name of Peter Pool had $4,000
in gold in the bank vault as n special
deposit, which he carried away and
buried in the ground near Sunbury
post office, few miles from High
Point.
After the scare was over Mr.. Pool
went out in the woods to get his money
and was unable to find it, He kept his
failure to himself, fearing some one
else would find his treasure and steal
it. But, strange as it may seem, he had
lost the location, and never did find the
gold, and finally the old man lost his
mind and died an inmate of the asylum
at Sunbury. Since that time the Cape
Fear & Yadlsin railroad has been built
by Sunbury.
A man by the name of j. Fl. Parker
bought land at Sunbury and has been
cultivating tobacco and selling TIM
Der. He had heard of the hiding of the
money by Fool and how the whole face
of the earth had been dug over after the
secret got out, but he did not make any
search for the buried treasure.
The other day as Parker was walk
ing over his land he observed that n
very large oak tree had been blown up
by the roots. AS he passed by the tree
he saw what appeared to be an iron box
among the roots. He pulled it out and
found it very heavy and fastened by
two old fashioned padlocks. He ,nan-
| aged to lug the box to his dwelling and
broke it open. In it he found $4,000
in gold coin. 1t appeared that the tree
was hollow and that the dirt had been
excavated through the hollow and the
boN then put among the roots 1t is
not doubted that this money Is that OF
the old man Pool. 1t is understood that
Pool left no heirs. If this is true the
Chapel Hill university will probably
contest with Mr.. Parker the ownership
OF the treasure trove, as all escheats g,

Charles A. Dana said the other day
that Sheridan was the bravest man he
ever knew, with one exception-Custer.
He spoke without hesitation. l have
not found two men to agree with him.
All admit that Custer was brave but
men have not the same ideals. Some
say that Pickett was the bravest man,
yet 1 have been told that Pickett was
roaring drunk the day of his famous
charge. Others mention privates, who,
being inconspicuous in the public eye,
are too often overlooked. In four
years of heroic conflict there were so
many brave men that he who decides
positively who was bravest is n ma

Mr.. Dana.
An exhibition of courage as rare as
was ever known was given by private.
At the first fire he dropped his gun and
ran like hound to the rear, not paus-
ing until he reached the camp follow
ers, about mile behind. Here he fell
upon the ground shaking with fear.
Suddenly he sprang up and asked for a
gun.
That's right, kill yourself!" sneered
wounded soldier. you are too big a
coward to live"
you're mistaken, my FRIEND" said
the other. I'm panic struck, that's
all. Wait till you hear from me again."
With that he started off on run.
Through the ranks he dashed. Men
were dropping on all sides. A murder
GUS firewas moving them down by COM
panies. Here 1 am again, boys!" he
shouted, when he reached his own COM
pany. Come on!" He passed the
ranks and stood in the open ground,
loading and firing, calm and immov-
able as the tall pine in the background.
His cheerful Come on, boys!" was in
spring. The enemy made him tar
get, and presently mimic ball passed
through his neck. When they carried
him back to the rear little later he
begged to be taken near the soldier
who had told him to kill himself, and
pointing him out to the surgeon said:
Doctor, be sure to tell my friend over
there that I'm no coward" Then, with
a look of serene satisfaction on his face,
he died.

The game was up and Lees helpless,
hopeless situation had greatly de-
pressed him. He said that he did not

and were then almost in sight.
I'll stop 'em, general said the cour'

A WARTIME TRAGEDY.
Tho wanton Killing of Jacob Starr for
Keeping War Diary.


Keeping War Diary.
In the year of grace 1863 one Jacob
Starr, in the city of Montgomery, Ala,
took it into his head that he was a man
of some literary and historical ability.
Starr went TO work to keep up
diary. He recorded every event OF
note, and was so proud of his work that
he read it to his neighbors. Two young
lady friends lived next door, and Starr
read his diary to them every evening.
The girls enjoyed it very much, and
repeated the contents of the document
to their beauX.
All this made its work. The points
in the Starr biography were duly
quoted. The young men about town
discussed the matter, and it was soon
decided that Starr was a public enemy
who deserved the worst punishment.
So Jacob Starr was watched. Lead
ing confederates were consulted, and
they agreed that he ought TO be hanged
or shot.
But the innocent went on writing and
reading, and it never occurred to him
that he was in any danger.
Starr wrote down the impressions of
the people as Sherman advanced, and

NEW CURE FOR CONSUMPTION.

Injection OF Tubercular Serum Employed
by am Italian Savant.
A new cure for consumption has been
reported to the state department by
United States Consul Chancellor at
HaVre. He says the cure was first
brought to the attention of the world
at congress Of physicians and scien-
fists at Bordeaux to consider the ques-
ton OF combating consumption by vac
clnation. Prof. Marigliano, an Italian
sayant, read a paper which attracted
much attention, claiming to have dis
covered an eiiicacious process for the
treatment Of consumption by the injec-
ton OF tubercular serum, which, he
says, renders the subjects of this most
formidable disease immune.
The consul recalls the comparative
failures or other attempts to treat con-
sumption successfully, and says this
particular process is still in the expert
mental stage. The paper is open to
several objections, for Prof. Marigliano
gives no precise information as to his
process for obtaining the serum, which
can be had only from himself, his statis-
Tics are incomplete and lacking con.
nrmation and his infallible remedy can
not be yet regarded as an accomplished

SHUTS in GRAINS.
How the Different Varieties Can Be Treat
ed Very Effectually.

How the Different Varieties Can Be Treat
ed Very Effectually.
The Montana Experiment station
sends out the following conclusions on
smut in grains: Sinking smut attacks
wheat only. Loose smuts attack all of
the small grains, but that of the oat is
most damaging. Clean seed, or that
effectually treated for smut, will pro-
duce crop free from smut, but an adj
joining smutty field may contaminate
this grain for next years crop. The
only safeguard is careful treatment be-
fore planting. The disease in wheat
may be entirely prevented by thorough
ly wetting the seed in solution of cop
per sulphate, using eight ounces to
gallon of water, but this will lessen in
some degree the vitality of the seed.
it may also be effectually prevented,
without any damage, by immersion for
Is minutes in water raised to tempera-
ture of 131 to 1875 degrees Fahrenheit.
Dat smut may be completely prevented
by treating the seed Is minutes in water
raised to a temperature of 1929 to 1875
degrees Fahrenheit. This treatment
not only removes the smut but pro-
notes the growth and increases the
yield. 1t may also be prevented with
out injury to the vitality by immersing
the feed "a hours in solution of potas-
stun sulphide, made by dissolving
pound of the sulphide in "a gallons of
water. The copper sulphate treatment,
used for wheat, will effectually kill the
smut in oats, but will in some degree
damage the terminating power of the
in
