stage as in book form 1t. does In the

the young women. Her father has
vowed deadly yengence on the be-
trayer of his daughter. but he. has
disappeared, leaving no traces of his

seIENTIsT LOOKS ron RADIUM
IN HENDERSON co. M1NFS.
Or Kelly. The Noted Cancer Doctor.
Investigates zircon Mines at
zircOnia for Radium.


Or. Howard A. Kelly. the noted IA,
ti1nore surgeon. who is recognized as
being one of the country's greatest
cancer doctors. visited the zircon mines
OF Capt. NJ. c. Toms and Hon. q. f
Toms at zirconia last week in search
of radium. which has been discovered
to be a cure for cancer.
While the results of the inyestipa-
ton are yet unknown, Dr.. Kelly ex
pressed himself as being highly
pleased with his visit to the mine in
company with DR.. evLi Jones of zir-
COMA. and took with him a quantity
OF the mine products for assayins mr.
poses. The results of the assay baya
not been announced, but those with
whom DR.. Kelly talked after visiting
the mines We're of the opinion b the
noted physician was optimistic over
lac outlook for the precious mineral
of which there is known to be only
shout a teaspoonful in the whole
world, a little having been discovered
IN Colorado. He is quoted as having
said that about two and one-half
teaspoonfuls of radium would be am
ply sufficient to carry out all his plans
for ~effecting permanent cancer cures
in tbs los serious cases. Radium IS
estimated to be worth $50.0OO.O00 per
pound.
The zircon mines at Zirconia were
operated by Capt. Toms and son as far
back as thirty years ago, when zircon
was a very precious product and when
there had been only a few such discoy-
cries in the country. Additional ma,
chinery and equipment was installed
about a year ago but by reason of the
large quantities of the mineral discov-
cred in other parts of the country il
cannot be worked here on a profitable
basis. although this is the second mine
SO far discovered that contains the zir-
con in gravel form. When these
mines were first operated the product
was very precious and in the early dis.
coTery of zircon it was quoted at 81.
100000 per pound.
It is highly probable that further in
vestigations, will revea the fact that
there is an abundance of radfum yet
undiscovered in that it is found only
in zircon mines.

If the Greater HendersonyilIe Club
accomplished nothing more during the
next five years than securing the st.
Petersburg colony, the good roads
bonds and the farm demonstrator, it
will have been worth all it will have
cost and more.
AS al matter of fact there are scores
os other things the club has actually
accomplished, including securing three
State conventions for the coming
/, Spring: But it is doubtful if anyons
Of them will have a more direct and
far-reaehfng influence upon the future
of this county than the work the farm
demonstrators is now doing.
Meeting Friday Night.
The club holds its regular meeting
on Friday night. Mr.. Perkins will tell
there more of his plans for the adj
. vaneement of the farming interests in
this county and other matters of inter
est will come up. Visitors and citi-
zens who are not now members are
cordially asked to be present. Tie
meeting is called to order at eight and
adjourns at ten.
Like a BlHeberry in a Pan of Milk.
The Secretary of the Greater Hen
Jacksonville club has varied and sun
dry experiences while trying to collect
members dues, a task which occupies
most of his time to the almost entire
exclusion of other and equally as i'm
portant duties.
Recently he was stopped in mid
flight on Main street by one of the
very, very few knockers left alive in
Hendersonville. who solemnly assured
him that the club was destined to die
and to die soon. This man is not q
member of the club (which will soon
number 200), and so far as is known
has never contributed as much as a
cancelled one cent postage stamp to
any public movement. The secretary
nervously listened to the mans CONT

n c.. Clarke and others equally as
busy, when assured that such an or
ganization must have certain merits
and must live, he only became the
more doleful and hopeless He was
Mr.. Gloom and couldn't see n joy in
life. He reminded the secretary OF
the story of a milliner who tried to
sell a colored woman one of last sea-
sons hats at a yer moderate price
It was a big white picture hat.
Laws; no, honey!" exclaimed the
woman. 81 could nevah wear that.
Why. I'd look jest like a BURBERRY IN a

And that's about the way the knock
er would look in that crowd OF city
builders who gather in thu club rooms
on any meeting night. He'd look like

told the story but failed to see the
point and is still hoping to hear of
the clubs demise.
