QUEER SPOT ON COAST
Vegetation on "Bogue Banks" Ranges
From Tropiic to Hardest Of Tenn

r. f. Rice land and Industrial
agent Of the Norfolk Southern Rail

as it is officially known. more popu-
larly referred TO as "0ogue Banks

who is an Ohioan and has travelled
pretty much over the entire country.
says kinston special Of Friday.
Mr.. Rice describes the Banks
island, which in few places is more
than mile wide, as an agricultural
Ell Dorado. The vegetation ranges
almost from the tropic TO the hard

mate varieties thrive, almost run riot.
On the other side, although there IS
no perceptible change in the terrain,
the plant growth is temperate TO the

are great quantities of doSwood and
other hard woods on the sound side

part of this extra ordinary condition
hard to understand is that when one
crosses this imaginary line into the

A Layman'S Observation.

Mr.. j. p. McCallie of the Southern
Presbyterian church, just returned
from tour of the world, says: I'm
Japan we witnessed such sights as we'll
filled or crowded churches, the Jealous
preaching of individual japanese and
general willingness to hear on the
part of the people that convinced us
that now was as great a day for the
Christian message as Japan has ever
seen. One Of the evidences Of the
greatness of the influence of Chris
tionity in Japan is the fact that
Buddhism has become awake to the
danger of being superseded and has
installed Christian methods in no less
than twenty-three different ways by
our count. In China the one oppor-
tunity largely lacking in Japan-the
opportunity for Christian education
is furnished plentifully. Government

CNDAUNTED BY WOUNDS
British Prisoners, Permanently Dis
abled, of Good Cheer.

London cable to Washington Post
In crossing from Flushing to Folke-
stone the spirits of the first batch of
permanently disabled British prison
ers remained undaunted. Strong
vlrlle soldiers they were; now physical
wrecks. Yet though they have lost
leg or arm or eyesight. their heart has
never been shaken.
Most of their stories went back to
the early, dark days, when the little
English force was making such des-
perate efforts to hold back the flood
of invasion that was engulfng Bel
gium. Of 1,20O-odd prisoners who
have at last returned to England after
weary months of waiting and COncen-
tration, the most date their disa bility
to Mons and the fights of the great
retirement.
In the cabin lay Private Jones, Of
the Middlesex regiment. He was first
| hit by rife bullet in the left. leg. The
bone was shattered, and he fell. He
| lay for hours during the heart of con-
| f1ict, hoping in vain for rescue. Sud
denly his hopes died with the echo Of
| an exploding sharpnel.
| The base Of the man-killing pro-
| jectile crashed into his other leg,
striking the knee and tearing off the
kneecap. Other bits Of the shell
struck his body. The German line of
advance passed him as dead. He was
picked up and taken to a Belgian hos
pital. For six months he lay in the
care of the good Nine. Bradunt The
|leg with the broken kneecap will not
heal.
AS Private Jones finished his story
he said: "But when l get back home
it will heal. 1t only needs a little
touch of British soil to heal it,
Tn the next ca bin was Private Smith
Of the Royal Rifles. Smith was a foot
ball player His right leg was Gu
off from the hip.

, Private Smith, ''an lots better thai
losin your 'ead. I'm satisfied if tn

I No word of complaint, no self-pity
