A demented woman, Fannie KY
Ter by name, created reign of terror
at Catawissa yesterday afternoon
and evening. Her conduct was
violent during the afternoon but
her wild behavior reached a climax
about half past seven last evening
when she broke the window glass
in the house with her bare hands
thereby cutting herself severely.
The affair created the greatest con-
sternation and the house was sur
rounded with people.

CHANGE TIL
Plans for Retaining Thousands Of Acres OF the
Richest Farm Lands in the State.
Roanoke-Chowan Times.)

A gentleman with a calculatlVe turn of
mind dropped into the Times office the
other day with a plan to reclaim thousands
of acres Of the richest lands III the State
and bring them into cultivation. He esIly
demonstrated the feasibility of the plan,
and according to his calculations one
fourth of the croys raised on the lands
thus reclaimed would soon pay the eN-
pense of turning the overflow waters OF
the Roanoke into another channel.
His proposition is to turn the overflow
waters of the Roanoke into Uraha Swamp
and through it and Potecasi Creek into
Meherrin River. We have heard 1t as
serted by students of geology that the
waters Of the Roanoke once flowed
through this swamp.
But Of the plan. The great Uhara
Swamp has It's rise within a few hundred
yards Of the majestic Roanoke. During
the large freshets the waters of the Roam
okc, it is asserted, lack only a few feet
of Overlooking and running into this
swamp. A canal Is feet deep from its
source to the ricer, and from Is down to
10 feet deep where the swamp empties into
Potecasi creek near Woodland, a distance
of about Is miles, would be sufficient.

places, but would need cleaning out, after
which it would be navigable for boats,
giving a large section of fertile country
water transportation. OUR friend impress
ed us with the fact that 1t was not pro
posed to draing the Roanoke this way,
but simply the overflow that IS SO dis
astrous to the crops IN the river lowlands
Thc water thus turned into the Uraha
would not overflow an acre of cultivated
land. and would flow through the land
(canaD and not over it. In proof of the
feasibility of this plan it was pointed
out that it is 70 miles nearer to tide
water through the proposed canal than by
/ the Roanoke. 1t would be a great advant
age to the health of this section to drain
the Uraha Swamp.
About six years ago an appropriation
was made by Congress to make a survey
of Potccasi Creek from its mouth up tC
Potecasi, beyond the point where Uraha
Swamp empties into it, with a view tc
opening it to navigation, but from some
cause not known the survey has never
been made.

Austria, as in England, there are distinct
areas of high cancer mortality. suggesting
specific cause endemic in certain locall-

contagious character Of cancer" He says

DIR. Wolff: In countries such as Italy
and Hungary, in which the consumption

How to SDend 81 ono

We are asked how to spend 81 900 on
quarter section farm, fairly well i'm
proved, to the best advantage. Assum-
ing that this refers to an average farm.
With average improvements and carry
ing an average assortment of stock,
We would put $500 of the money into
little pure bred stock of cattle, swine.
sheep and poultry, making the money
go as far as we could, but getting a
start in each of these lines. The other
$500 we should invest by sending the
boy to a good agricultural school and
thus give him an idea of the benefits
to be derived by combining science
with agriculture. This would carry
him through one year, and there would
be no trouble in furnishing the money
to enable him to finish his course This
sort of an investment will pay better
than Canada or Dakota land, oil stocks.
gold dredging schemes or any of the
hundred and one attractive bats put
out to separate the farmer from his
money.

Winter Wheat, Hogs and Corn.

We have a friend who has made
small fortune out of raising hogs, just
hogs, and here is one labor saving plan
be has followed up for years: He sows
winter wheat, Turkish Red, among his
corn at the time Of the last blowing in
July. When the corn has become well
glazed in the fall, he runs hog fence
around his cornfeld and turns the hogs
in, about eight head to the acre, and
there they stay, living on the corn and
the wheat until snow covers the

Women Bell Ringers.

st. Andrews Church, at Bradford,
Berkshire, is the only church in Eng
land where the bells are rung by wom-
en- instead of men. The reason why
women have been engaged for this task
is very simple. About eighteen months
ago there was a great dearth of men
and boys in the district, owing to the
scarcity OF labor, and the vicar, being
unable to obtain the requisite number
Of men to ring the bells, asked the lad
dies of the congregation to undertake
the duty. The appeal was instantly
and heartily responded to, and six young
women have rung the bells of this pref
ty little church regularly and pune
tually for nearly eighteen months. 1t
is certainly heavy and trying, but the
fair bell-ringers have become quite en-
thusiastic in the work, and do it ex-
cellently.-Tit-Bits.
