Elizabeth City, n. c., Sept. %
News from Camden county has Just
been received in this city of the find
ing in Camden county Sunday I'm the
section of that county known as
'T~horoughfare Island of a young
white oma who on account of
starvation and exposure is now in a
most pitiable plight, having lost her
mind, and she Is unable to either
talk or make her identity known.
The story Of her finding was brought
to this city today by a reliable per-
ason who had been in that county and
is as follows:
During the past several days the
persons residing near this island
have been hearing a peculiar cry
which resembled that of a panther
more than a human, and so on Sun
day a party started out to investi-
gate.
Armed with guns and axes the
men searched the entire territory,
which is about six acres in size, but
nothing was seen of the thing"
which had been making the pecu-
liar noise.
About this time some one sug-
SSotSO " SCI up a yen, "uiCu SuS-
gestion was acted upon; and in a
few seconds a response was heard in
the distance.
The men then divided themselves
so as to form a circle and the spot
from which the noise came was clos
ed in, preparing to fire upon the OBJ
ject, which all hands thought to be
a panther.
The men dashed upon the poor
demented creature lying prone upon
the ground, with only a scant sup
ply of clothing.
An attempt was made to hold a
conversation with her, but only a
few moments sufficed to impress up
on the men that her reason had van
ished.
The woman was carried to the
home of a physician residing at In
diantown near the woods from which
she had been rescued, where every
thing IS being done to restore her
mind.
Those who have seen her are I'M
able to identify who she is.
The noise which caused the
search had been heard for about ten
days. Some are of the opinion that
the woman had been carried to this
lonely spot in order to make away
with her
It is reported that she appears to
be about Is years of age, and is rath-
er good looking--Special to Char
lotte Observer.

His Ways I~nscrutable

A Washington ed1ca.)" IS telling
a good story about a young medical
friend of his who is interested in in
sanity symptoms and is sort Of am
ateur alienist.
The other day the student got a
chance to visit one Of the wards in
the asylum for the insane, and having
heard that there was a man there who
labored under the ha1lucinatiOn that
he was God the student asked that
he be allowed to see this patient first
as he appeared the most promising
for investigation.
He was taken to ward where lun-
attic was confined, and the following
conversation ensured:
Student-Are you the Diety?
Lunatic-FrOm everlasting unto ev-
erlasting I am he.
well, I've been looking for you
for a long time. I have a question to
ask you. How do you reconcile the

full height and giving the medico a
scornful glance, replied: My de-

Desperate Political Conditions

Anything to beat Roosevelt.
In the republican party every in
terest political and financial, that
has suffered or believes it has suf-
fered, from President R~oosevelt's pol
itics, is now scheming to beat him,
or Taft or any other candidate whom
Roosevelt should favor.
In order to defeat Roosevelt these
men are willing to take UP any one
giving promise of popular strength,
even Governor Hughes whose own
policy toward the corporations, as
shown by his public service commits
sion law, is almost advanced as
Roosevelt's itself and who ap-
pears to be as impossible to control
as Roosevelt.
But it is a desperate case and des-
perate remedies have to be applied,
on the principle that a poison must
sometimes be administered to get rid
of a poison.
In the democratic party much the
same situation exists.

HERE'S A RARE CHANCE
FOR NATURE FAKIR Halter

DENVER, Oct. 9.-The affection of
a wolf for a man saved the life of
Alfred hill, animal keeper at City
park yesterday afternoon. Hill had
gone into the bear den to quiet Old
Abe and the other grizzly in that en-
closure. Both of these giant animals
have been extremely restless for sew
eral days, attacking the other bears
without provocation.
The animal keeper was unafraid,
despite the ugly temper displayed by
the grizzlies, and braved them, armed
with no more formidable weapon
than a leather quirt.
The grizzly did not reply in words,
but he was seen to wag his head in
his mates direction and both of them
suddenly arose to their hind legs and
closed in upon their keeper.
Hills life was not worth penny
at that moment. The instant Old
Abe and the other grizzly reached
him, however, Jim, the gray wolf in
the adjoining enclosure, came to his
rescue. Behind Jim was his entire
pack. OLD Abe and his mate were
surrounded by bowling, swapping
snarling pack of wolves that kept the
bears so busy that Hill was given
ample time to escape.

Intensive Farming in Germany.

Consul Fl. j. Dunlap of Cologne
transmits the following report con-
corning his consular district:
This district, which comprises the
greater part of Rhenish Prussia, has
a large area devoted to grain growing
and is also the principal vine growing
district of Germany. The wine ship
ped to the United States is sold I'M
der the name of Rhine, Moselle and
Abr wine, according to the stream
on whose borders it is produced. The
district has many manufacturing cen
ters whose population necessarily re-
quires great quantities of vegetables
for sustenance, which diminishes the
area of tillable land that could be
devoted to grains and grasses. The
farms are generally small, probably
averaging seven and one-half acres
each, and the space devoted to any
kind of grain is restricted. 1t is no
unusual thing to see a plat divided
into strips a rod wide and forty or
more rods .ong on which are growing
alternately wheat, rye, barley, oats,
potatoes, clover, alfalfa and vegeta-
bles. The cultivation is all by hand
and is very intensive. Two crops are
grown each year and system of ro-
tation prevails. Everything that will
make fertilizer is saved and applied.
The highways are swept in summer
and scraped in winter and the dust
and mud utilized for fertilizing pur-
poses. Nothing goes to waste and
there are no spots where weeds have
possession. All the soil that will not
produce grain or vegetables and
there is a great deal of that kind in
Germany-is planted with some kind
of forest tree, spruce prevailing. Rye
is the prevailing grain, with wheat
next. No great amount of oats, bar
ley, fax or buckwheat is produced.
The grain grown is all consumed at
home, but falls far short of supply
ing the demand. Sugar beets are also
grown.

NATIONAL COAL SITUATION.

Statisticians have announced that
the total coal production last year
was 1,106,47S,707 tons. OF this the
production of the United States was
414,157,27S tons.
1t would seem that with this enor-
nous production of black diamonds,
that the battleships of the nation
could be supplied with domestic coal.
1t is a bad reflection on the country
that we must go abroad for the coal
for our fighting machinery. Coal is
now on the contraband list between
countries at war. What would the
government do in the event the coal
barons in their arrogance should pro-
fess that they were unable to supply
the navy with coal during war time ?
1t is likely that there would be dras-
wv ihcetouiCo tdhcH ny tuc dOfSl IL
ment and it is certain that we would
not go abroad for fuel
If the government can protect it.
self during times of war, why can it
not do SO in times of peace?
And, while on the subject, it might
be well to ask why the demands for
coal in this section of the country for
domestic and mechanical purposes
cannot be supplied?
There are coal fields in the western
states which are said to equal if not
to excel those of Pennsylvania and
West Virginia. Why are they not
developed, and why are not thousands
of men employed in them? Why is
| our money sent to a distant part OF
the country when 1t could be kept al
home and our own prosperity built
| up?
These are questions for politicians
| and political economists to answer
and their solutions may play import
ant parts in coming elections.
