MILL Burns
At: CHEROKEE
Cherokee, N. C.
Nov OH 1914

AsOV. LO, lOI4.
1t is and old saying that I'VE
never miss the water till the mill
runs dry" and this has certainly
come true to the people of OualI9
township, in the loss of j. L. Flovd's
up-to-date full roller process flour
mill, which was burned to the
ground last night.
The loss to Mr.. Floyd is gre at as
any one can easily see, and we ex-
tend to him our sympathy; but the
people for many miles around here
feel a loss greater than can be esti-
mated in mere dollars and cents
think OF such a mill located right
IN the heart of a se:tion of c0rntrv
espec' ly adopted to the raisin6 Of
wheat and the only mill within
m NV 'oiIes, and then, if you car
imagine a people suddenly left with
out such a will or any other kind of
will, and you will begin to see what
| mean by sayin5 that it is a loss
that can, not be measured in dollars
and cents.
Now, I do hope that in this great
calamity to one of our friends and
nelghbors. we may all learn les
son, hope we will learn to apDre-
clate more fully the efforts of such
men as Mr.. Floyd to make thin6s
more convenient for us.
We ought to encourage capitol
but, alas, it is too often discouraged.

Russia REMADE
By PROHIBITION
NOT A DROP OF The STRONG DRINK
OBTAINAB1E and The RACE IS
TRANSFORMED

Petragrad, Nov. Is. Actual and
complete prohibition is in force to-
Gay throughout the entire Russian
Empire and a drop Of vodka

strong drinA is obtainable from one

prising one sixth Of the habitable
globe.
IN every foot Of Russian territory
the word prohibition is taken liter
allyp. It does not mean partial
|y successful attempt to curtail IL
quor consumption. resulting in
drinking in secret places, abuse of
medical licenses and general eva
sion and subterfu9e. It does mean
that vast population who consum-
ed $10O0,O00,0O0 worth OF vodka a
year; whose ordinary condition has
been described by Russians them
selves as ranging from a slight de,
gree Of stimulation upward; has
been lifted almost in one day to
sobriety.
On that day when the mobilizat-
ion began policemen visited every
public place where vodka is sold,
locked up the supply Of liquor
which is almost pure alcohol, and
placed on the shop the imperial
seal. Since the manufacture and
sale Of vodka is government mono
poly it is not difficult to enforce
prohibition and from the day the
shops were closed drunkennas
vanished. The results already are
seen in the peasantry. They are
beginning to look like different
race. Marks of suffering, the pinch
ed looks Of illness and improper
nourishment have gone from their
faces Their clothes are cleaner
and both men and women- appear
more neatly and better dressed.
Homes Of the poor, formerly desti-
tuta, now appear better kept
minor crimes and mi8demean0rs
have almost vanished.

Baby Eats Whole Bottle of Strychnine
and Still Lives.


On New Years Day the little
three year old child of DR.. j. c.
Chapman got hold of a bottle of
strychnine tablets and swallowed
its entire contents, enough poi
son to kill a dozen grown men.
Fortunately the mother discov-
ed the little fellow just as he had
emptied the bottle and raised an
alarm. The Doctor got busy at
once with a stomach pump, and
soon pumped the poison from the
little fellows bread basket, and
after a liberal use of antidotes
the little chap was all right, and
does not appear to be any worse
off after his dangerous experince.
