stored in a tank at it's plant near the
Carolina Central depot tank contain
ing 10000 barrels of gasoline. In view of
the frequency of electric storms the past
week the possibilities if lightning should

that locality. At last nights meeting of
the Board of Aldermen the matter was
discussed and the ordinance committee
was instructed to frame law regulating

Plant 1000 Years oId-

In the town of Hildersheim, Ger many, is probably the most unique plant in the world It is a rash bush 1000 years old. and sprouts from it's branches have realized fabulous sums. Some years ago rich Englishman offered $250,000 for this entire tree. but the sum was indignantly refused. This wonderful plant clings amid thickly grown moss against the side of the famous old church of St. Michael. It is claimed that it has bloomed per ennally since the days of King Alfred, and this statement has never been dis puted, for it's record has been as care fully kept as the pedigree of the bluest blooded family in the kingdom. It is supposed to have been discovered by some mysterious means through the medium of King Louis of Hildersheim, as far back as 1922 -Presbyterian.

NO LONGER \ PEST HO|E.
The Havana of To-Day One of the Most Healthful of the
 Worlds Seaports.
SOME FACTS THE WORLD SHOULD KNOW.
The Stamping Out of Yellow Fevers Has Followed the American Sam itary Regulations and the War Wnged Upon the Breeding Places of Mosquitoes.

| Washington, March 23.-An inter- esting statement concerning the i'm provement in health conditions in Havana since the American occupa- tion of Cuba, with special vital ; statistics for the calendar year 1901, has been made public by the insular division of the war department. Particular attention is paid to the purging of the city of yellow fever, during the past year, by the destruction of in fected mosquitoes. It is of vast i'm portance, the statement says, that these facts be made known to the world extensively and as rapidly as possible. During the past 45 years, with scarcely an exception, some deaths have occurred from yellow fever in every month of the year, the maximum, 2,058 deaths, taking place in 1857; the minimum, 51 deaths, in 1866, with the average 751. The num- Der of other infectious and conta gious diseases has been small during the calendar year 1901. There has been very little diphtheria and ty- phoid fever, and the tuberculosis rate is about that of most cities of civil ized countries. A rapid decrease has taken place since American occupa- ton. A marked decrease in malaria also has occurred since the moquito work began. The statement con cludes as follows:
 "The army took charge of the health department of Havana when deaths were occurring at the rate of 21,252 per year. It gives it up with deaths occurring at the rate of 5,- 720 per year. It took charge with smallpox epidemic for years. It gives it up with not single case having occurred in the city for over IS months. It took charge with yellow fever epidemic for two centuries. It found Havana feared as a thing unclean by all her neighbors of the United States, and quarantined as danger ous section to touch or even to come near anything that she had touched, to the untold financial loss of both Havana and the United States. It has established the fact that yellow fever is only transmitted by a cer- tain species of mosquito, discovery that in it's power for saving human life.is only excelled by Jenner's great discovery. and as time goes on it will stand in the same class as that great boon to mankind.
 "The army has stamped out this disease in it's greatest stronghold there having been only five deaths in the last nine months of the past year and no deaths and no cases during the last three months of the same year; and it has demonstrated sys- tenn by which yellow fever can cer- tainly be controlled without the in- reference to commerce."
