Dreams Of Woman Lead To Uneavsrlhg
Wealth.

WV9ltus
Spruce Pine, N. G. special of July rs
to The Greensboro News.
Because an old woman dream
ed dreams and saw visions of a
wonderful coal deposit in a black
substance which out-cropped on
a hill side near her shanty, the
purest deposit of mica schist in
the world, and worth millions,
was discovered two miles north
east of here.
Old Aunt" Maggie Carroll
lived all alone in her little shanty
two miles from the village. Now
all the neighbors regarded aunt
Maggie as queer and some
went so far as to say that she
was crazy, for it was well known
that she was obsessed with the
idea that the little hills that sur
rounded her shack contained hid
den somewhere in them rich poe
kets of gold or of stones of fabu-
bus value and fit for the crown
Of a queen. These riches mere
ly waited for discovery by some
fortunate person, she thought,
and ever and anon she pottered
around the hillsides, poking here
and there, and hoping some day
to be this fortunate person.
Now it happened that one day
on a hillside so overgrown with
mountain laurel bushes as to be
almost impossible that. she no,
ticeda peculiar blackish forma-
ton outcropping above the earth.
at once she came to the conclu-
sion that she had been mistaken
concerning the richest in the hills
that it was coal that lay hidden,
and not gold nor precious stones.
Forthwith she made preparat.
ions to test her conclusions.
In some manner she secured
possession Of a stick Of dynamite,
and a pick on her shoulder, she
crawled back to the point Of her
discovery. With the pick she
prepared a crevice in the forma-
ton, and tamping down her ex,
plosive, she lighted the fuse and
retired to await results.
= Minutes past and nothing hap
pened. Growing impatient, she
returned to the spot and began
in q feeble way, it is true, for she
was about seventy years old, to
attempt to dig up the dynamite
with the pick. Should the pick
bstrike the concussion cap on the
explosive the old woman would
be blown to atoms and her dream
of mines ended, but she contin'
ued her dangerous occupation.
In his home notfar away, Char
ley Gunter, the owner of the land
on which the old woman had been
prospecting, heard the blows as
she attempted to remove the dy
Mantle, and with difficulty crawl
ed through the laurels to investi
gate. He arrived in time to save
the old woman and hear the story
she told. Examining the forma
ton where the explosive had
been placed, he saw that it was
deposit Of mica schist- useC
principally in making rubber
roofing almost pure. The ole
woman had been right, the bill
contained riches, but it was mic;
+, and not coal as she had thought.
With a ordinary coffee mill Mr.
Gunter ground q quantity of th'
formation into D kind of coarse
powder, and through the effOrt'
of r. r. Dent of Bloomsbury
Pa, submitted to the roofing

imenting as to the best way t.

Get In the habit of drinking glass of hot water before
 breakfast.

Millions of folks bathe internally with drugs. Whats an inside bath?" you say. We'll, it is guar anteed to perform miracles accord ing to hot water enthusiasts.
 There are vast numbers of men md women who, immediately upon arising in the morning, drink a glass of hot water with tea spoonful of limestone phosphate in it. This is q very excellent health measure. It is intended to flush the stomach, kidney and intestines Of the previous days waste, sour bile and indigestible material left over in the body which if not eliminated every day, become food for the mil lions of bacteria which infest the bowels, the quick result is poisons and toxins which are then absorbed into the blood, causing headache, bilious attacks, foul breath, bad taste, colds, stomach trouble, kidney misery sleeplessness, impure blood and all sorts of ailments.
 People who feel good one day and badly the next, but who simply can not get feeling right are urged tc obtain a quarter pound of lime stone phosphate at the drug store This will cost very little but is suf ficient to make anyone real crank on the subject of internal sanita tion.
