NOTES FROM RUGGlES
J. II. X. Writes Interesting Letter Of
Happening at Picturesque and
Famous Old CampgrOunds.


There has been so many inquiries
this year as to the exact age of Rug
giles Campmeeting that we feel con-
strained to give Just little OF its
early history. In the year 1872 Rev.
II. ]. Northcott who was then presid-
ing elder of the Maysville district, and
Rev. II. ]. Ramey pastor of the Mt.
IOlivet circuit, endeavored to secure
a location in Robertson county for a
|campmeeting. In this they failed On
the following year, Rev. Ramey was
appointed to the Tolesboro church and
Rev. Northcott continued as presld-
ing elder. Their efforts we're renew
ed to secure a location for a camp
ground. They succeeded in securing
consent for a location about three and
one-half miles from the present camp
I'grounds. Just as they we're about to
arrange for the meetings, by some
hitch consent to use the grounds was
withdrawn. Not to be deprived of a
campmeeting they held weeks camp
meeting at Canaan church, about one
mile from Ruggles campgrounds This
was in 1873. Search for location
continued, and just when they were
about ready to give up their efforts
Mr.. William Ruggles came forward
with an offer of twenty-acre tract of
ground to lease for a period of ten
years with privilege of renewal. This
tract is Ruggles Campgrounds. An
Association was formed, charter Sc
cured and arrangements made for a
campmeeting, the first on Ruggles
Campgrounds, in the year 1874. The
meetings were held at the appointed
time and have been held regularly ev-
cry year since. Great good has come
from these meetings. Many men and
women date the beginning of their
Christian life to the meetings at this
place. Thousands will testify to the
blessings received at the meetings.
Il is quite interesting to read from the
records of the part that Maysville
people have had in the meetings The
historical records tells us that "Sev.
eral from Maysvile built family tents
the first year. Among them Brothers
Roberts. Lane. Brodt. Walsh. Sisters
Morris and others" A few people have
never missed a year attending The
president of the Board of Directors,
Mr. |. NJ. Lane. whom all love and re.
spect, has not missed a year, and has
been in active control of the business at
fairs of the Association for so MANY
years that he can't tell himself when
he first began.
And so We can say by authority OF
the book" that this is the forty-sec-
ond campmeeting at Ruggles Camp
grounds.

organisms appear to have been espe-
cially abundant long ago when the
peninsula Of Florida was completely
submerged beneath the sea and the
waves from the Atlantic rolled unim-
peded int. the Gulf of Mexico, for the
sands which we're then deposited on
the bottom of the sea and have since
been converted into dry land contain
many nodules of phosphate rock that
are in all respects similar to those be-
ing formed today. These phosphate
sands contain in most places too lit
tie phosphate to be of commercial val
ne, but they are believed to be the
source from which the important de-
posits of Florida phosphate rock have
been derived.
During the later stages of the ac-
emulation Of these sands Florida was
inhabited by some very large animals
that are now either extinct or known
only in other continents. Among these
were the mastodon and rhinoceros,
The teeth of these animals, together
with those of species of horses that
have entirely disappeared, have been
uncovered in some of the deposits.

CURIOUS WAGERS
(Answers)

(Answers)
In the good old days" extraordinary
wagers we're more common than they
are today. In 1870, for instance, Lord
Digby staked so that he would walk
Eve miles round Newmarket Health
in a certain time, barefooted and and
stark naked, and had the misfortune
Of losing by the narrow margin of half
a minute, the King and all the court
being witnesses Of the performance.
In the latter half of the eighteenth
century a Liverpool scientist bet a
brother scientist that he would read a
newspaper by the light OF farthing
dip at distance of 80 feet. The wager
was cheerfully accepted. The first
scientist merely coated the inside Of a
shallow wooden box with sloplng
pieces of looking glass, so as to form
a concave lens, placed 1t behind the
farthing lip, and easily read the small
print at the distance named. The win
ming of the wager was witnessed by a
Liverpool dockmaster, who ultimate
ly applied the idea to lighthouse re-
quirements and evolved the modern
reflected light.
About two years ago, during a
yachting trip of members of the Mer-
sey' Docks and Harbor Board, Mr.. A.
w. Wilmer, leading Liverpool cot
ton broker, was presented with a pair
Of wooden shoes for his birthday, and
another member of the board offered
to contribute a sum OF money to two
charities If Mr.. Wilmer would go to
the Cotton Exchange wearing them.
For sweet charity's sake Mr.. Wilmer
appeared on Change wearing the wood
EN- shoes and the stakes were hand
ed over to him.
Perhaps the limit was reached in a
certain town in Canada, where a man
propelled a green pea with a toothpick
for about so yards along the pavement
within half an hour OF the stipulated
time and won his wager.

ORIGIN OF PHOSPHORUS

Washington Cor. New York SUM
Phosphorus, one Of the most impor-
tant element required by plants, Is
obtained from phosphate rock, which
IL mined at many places in the United
states and in foreign countries. Flor
ida supplies most of the product OF the
United States, and its output exceeded
that OF any foreign country The nor
NAL annual output of Florida in recent
years has valued at between $9,OOO,OOO
and $1O,eOO,OOO.
A most interesting question Is the
mode Of origin of the rock. Examina-
ton of samples dredged from the bot
tom of the sea show that there are now
accommodating in the Florida Straits
and elsewhere nodules of phosphate
of lime which are identical in competi-
ton with the pure phosphate rock OF
commerce.
The process of formation of these
phosphate nodules is not thoroughly
understood, but is believed to be In
some manner connected with living
organisms that swarm in sea water
in countless numbers. These marine
