Dream On

We had Il ST rIllyc dream the other
night. We dreamed that we were in
Il very large building in a strange cit y:
that in this building Newspapers were
being sold: that the price was marked
on them and we walked around TO see
what the price on some of the Ward
County papers were. The papers
stood each in the form of a monument
We noticed that the Slanly sun was

also the Flaxton Times. MOhall Tri-

were there and wIiat seemed SO
strange was that we could see not H.

our cIriO.l>ity was so much aroused
that we asked lie man who had them

STATE
MILLING
1907 Nearly 100000
Bushels we're ground
Into Flour.

During the past year of 1907 nearly
l0.0O0,000 bushels Of wheat we're
ground by the flour mills of North Da-
kOta. In South Dakota; which has
ten more -four mills than it's northern
twin, G,l36, 279 bushels were made in.
to flour. This is good showing for
North Dakota and the citizens of the
state have good reason to feel proud
Of it. Up to few years ago all flour
shipped into eastern or foreign mar
kets from the northwest was known
as Minnesota or Minneapolis flour
About three years ago the North La
kota mills commenced advertising
their product us from North Dakota,
and today, the market quotations,
where flour prices are quoted, North
Dakota Hour is listed i'm a grade bv
itself. The work done by these mills
has done wonders toward advertising
North Dakota. NOT only in the east ern
parts of the country but in European
count ricS as we'll. These mills have
given employment to a large number
of men within the state and added
materially to the wealth Of North Da-
kot;l, in other words. it is much better
that North Dakota wheat be ground
by North Dakota mills than to have
lie same shipped out of the state and
converted into -four by mills which
attach the name Of their own locality
to the product, and while the amount
OF wheat ground in North Dakota is
small as compared with the amount
of wheat grown in the state, it, is,
nevertheless, gratifying to consider
that the milling capacity is being very
largely increased. Ward County Re

Dizziness Cured by Science.

Transformation of dull pupils
in the public schools of Chicago
into bright boys and girls by
means of a simple and harmless
surgical operation is one of the
objects of a campaign of inspec-
ton inaugurated in the grammar
schools Monday by the City
Health Department.
The dullness of pupils who ars
bright enough to attend public
schools, scientists have found, is
due in a large percentage Of cases
not to natural mental Deficiencies,
but to the adenoids at the base of
the nasal passages, in what is
known as the post nasal tract. A
surgeon cuts out the adenoids-
just like removing a tonsil-and

As Judge PEBBLES Views II.

E. l.. Middleton, corresponding
secretary of the North Carolina
Baptist Sunday school work, just
back from attending Baptist asso-
Citations in the western sections OF
the State, is charging Judge R. B.
PEBBLES, of the Superior court,
with action in the Swain county
court that Mr.. Middleton declares
can but have the most serious eff
feet upon the lawless element
found III too many sections. In
the Swain case two young men
were put on trial for disturbing
public worship, in that they made
a disturbance in the Sunday school
at Lufty Baptish church.
It was such a clear case against
them, he says, that they we're adj
vised to plead guilty. However,
they wsnt to trial and Judge Pee
bles had heard only two or three
of the witnesses when he made an
order for the case to be dismissed,
holding that Sunday schools are
not public worship" in the sense
intended by the statute. Mr..
Middleton says the judge, by way
of illustration, said from the bench
that "the Legislature opened with
prayer every day, but no one
won d argue for a moment that
they are religious bodies or their
proceedings a public worship."-

book, Poor Peters Call to His

"Peter Ciemmons, Senr." The
book was published at Salisbury,

1912. There are 1856 pages in the

after freeing his slaves to come to
North Carolina where he resumed
these occupations and appended
to them the hot denunciation OF
slavery.
The work consists principally
of sermons, moral discourses,
advice to his sons and daughters
and the great brotherhood OF
men, and the closing chapter tells
why he left the "Methodlst So.

How II Feels to be HANGED.

I will tell you how it feels to be
hanged. At Fort Barrancus,
Fla, on April 4, 1864, I was hung
as a Confederate spy. I spent
four minutes between earth and
heaven. Then, a Yankee sergeant,
believing me to be the wrong
man cut me down.
My first sensation when the bar-
rel was kicked from under my feet
was that of a steam boiler inside
me was about to explode. Every
vein and blood vessel to and from
my heart seemed charged with an
oppressive fullness that must find
an venue Of escape. The ner-
vous system throughout it's length
was tingling with painful, prick
ing sensation the like of which 1
never felt before or since. Then
followed the sense of explosion,
as if a volcano had erurted. This
seemed to give me relief, and the
pain gave way to a pleasurable
feeling, IL very desirable, could
it be secured without death.
With this sensation a light broke
in upon my sight, a light of milky
whiteness, yet, strange to say, 80
transparent that it was easier to
pierce with the eye than the light
of day. Then came into my
mouth a taste Of sweetness the like
of which I have never since known.
And I felt myself moving on, with
a consciousness Of leaving every
thing behind. Then I heard the
sweetest of music, and it seemed
that more than q thousand harps
led in each part, accompanied by
myriads of voices.
And the sensation of coming
back to life after l had been cut
down was just as painful as the
first feeling of hanging. 1t was
acute torture. Every nerve SEEM
ed to have a pain of its own. My
nose and fingers were seats Of
most excrutiating agony, In half
an hour the pain was all gone,
but I would not go through the
experience again for the wealth of
the Indies.-Rev. j. r. Mann in
Spare Movements.

Flood Results.

The Star realizes the deplorable
conditions in this section caused
by the recent floods and extends
it's sympathy to those persons who
have suffered loss. The whole
farming country in this section
has been devastated. The de-
structlon of crops and of other
farm property has been fearful.
The loss a hardly be calculated.
Many men have lost their all and
with such sufferers it makes no
difference whether they counted
their wealth by the hundreds or
by the millions of dollars. It is
the loss of all he had and that,
whether q few dollars or many
millions of dollars, places a man
who loses all in a deplorab]e po-
sitlon.
The two fearful storms we have
had in the recent past in this
State have put many men in the
position of needing aid from char
ity wig under ordinary circum-
stances would not think of asking
or accepting public help. This
shows to what stress people have
been driven. In cases of this kind
it is Lo reflection on men that
they should accept outside aid.
At times all men are driven to
extremities by circumstances over
which they have no control. We
are glad to know that the Will
mington Chamber of Commerce
has opened a subscription for flood
sufferers of this section of the
State .-Wilmington Star.

he swan back and cut the horses

Nothing more could be done till

EARLY is BARRED.
Under the Circumstances North Carolina
Cannot Receive Him.

North Carolina refuses to re-
ceive from the Federal authori-
ties the leper, J. W. EARLY, of
Lynn, found to have leprocy while
in Washington looking after an
application for an army pension.
This action, through the State
board of health, DR.. George G..
Thomas, chairman, is based on
the ruling of Assistant Attorney
General Hayden Clement to the
effect that a State is not required
by either State or Federal consti-
buttons or statutes to receive citi-
zens from beyond her border hav-
ing contagious or pestilentious dis
eases; that even if the State we're
inclined to do this in the present
instance it would be impossible
for the reason that the railroads
would refuse to carry the patleut,
and since Early evidently con-
tracted the disease in the army
service he was a leper when dis
charged whether leprocy had shown
itself or not. Therefore the Unit
ed States government is morally
bound to retain and provide for
him ii. quarantine.
With reference to the wife and
child Of the leper. who have gone
to Washington in the interest of
husband and father, Mr.. Clement
advises the State board that the
board should write her in Wash.
ington and acquaint her with the
fact that if she returns to North
Carolina she will be quarantined
in Polk county by the county au-
thorities. This he says, should
be done not to prevent her return,
but In fairness to her in ordvr
that she may know what to expect
should she decide to RETURN
