DYNAMITE
Buckwheat Bids Fair to Be-
come an awful Engine of
Destruction.

Preston County Shaken from Center to
ces.-People actually fear
to Indulge in their Chief Delicacy.-
Deacon Browns Crafty Scheme to
Corner the Buckwheat Market.-Ter-
ribie Dangers Ahead OF Those who
Eat the erstwhiIe gentle Buckwheat
Cake.
From the Argus we learn how
narrowly. a terrible tragedy was
averted at Kingwood recently. Had
the dynamite in question been
ground up and eaten by the I'M
sophisticated denizens of the buck
wheat belt what awful things might
have happened. Eaters OF buck
wheat may be developed into explo-
sives alongside of which the deadly
torpedo would be as gentle as a coo
ing dove.
The story, however, may be fab
rication of Deacon Brown who is en-
deavoring to get a corner on the
buckwheat crop and is trying to in
still fear of the seductive delicacy
into the trusting hearts of his read
ers who make up the bulk Of the
consumers of Preston's chief prod
uct. The story Is as follows AS de-
tailed by the Argus:
mot long since the big steam mill
here had a narrow escape from serious
damage and perhaps loss of life
among the operators. In screening
some buckwheat stick Of dyna-
mite was found in the screenings
that had been in the buckwheat, as
they run all wheat and buckwheat
through the smut machine the sleeves
of course catch anything of that
kind, SC that there would be no dan
ger of an explosion, but if it had
been in some grain to be ground for
chop or feed, it would not have been
screened and would have gone into
the machinery and caused an ex
plosion. The mill managers know
whose grain it was and as it was
brought in by farmer who is a
road boss they figured it out that
he had been using the dynamite
working the roads and had pnt it
away in his granary and in some
careless manner allowed it to get in
the grain, or perhaps the rats car
ried it into the grain bin or knocked
it down into it someway. 1t was not
thought for moment that the man
who brought it did it on purpose or
that any one else would be mean
enough to try to wreck the mill and
perhaps hurt some of the employees.
People should be more careful hand
ling such dangerous stuff and We
don't want any more of it brought
to the mill here

A paper published long obituary
OF man who had died in the COM

thata "long procession OF friends fol-

could not do 1t until the seven years

where he has been since his assign
ment to duty with the fleet of Adj

On Dec. Goth he left China for
home having been placed on
waiting orders. He will be here
visiting relatives until he is assigned
to duty when he will again leave us

class man ever filing the position in
the Judgment of many people. He

CATION.

CATION.
At the recent hearing before the
House COMMITTEE on Territories, Mrs.
Mary III. Hunt, Of Boston, speaking OF
the good results that had come from
the enactment OF other laws in behalf
of which she had at other times ap.
peared before Congress, related an in
teresting incident in regard TO Lieut..
Hobson. She said that after the adop-
tlon of a course Of systematic instruc-
tion in temperance hygiene and phys
iology in the Naval Academy at An
napolis in accordance with law pass
ed through her instrumentality she
visited that institution on the occa-
sion OF the graduation OF a class, and
heard Hobson, who was q member of
the class discuss as part of his grad
uating examination the damaging eff
feet Of alcohol on the human system,
and particularly its relation to the per-
Torrance Of sailors duty under cir.
cumstances of exposure. To the
knowledge gained by the instruction
given at the Naval Academy she at
tribtted the fact that when the last
officer of the Texas going over the rail
Of the doomed Merrimac at two
o'clock on the morning of Hobson's
great exploit turning asked him:
''Shall we send you some breakfast,
old MANI" Hobson replied: "No, we
don't care for breakfast but send us
plenty of'--not whiskey, as any officer
