CAPE HATTERAS is NOT
BY FAR, A DRY SPOT

Cape IIatteras is not n dry spot.
According to the L. S. Weather Bu-
reau Hatteras was the wcttcSt spot
of 175 reporting stations last year.
The reason probably is that Halter
as is well out in the sea, is bounded
on the inside by large body Of WA
ter, and rains are easily attracted
to that point, because Of the geoSra-
phical position Of the cape.
The country was not so wet last
year as it normally is. Philadelphia
was the dryest it has been in 100
years. Compilations of the Weather
Bureau show that 96 of the 10 re-
porting stations had less rainfall than
normally. IIattcras, y. C.. was the
wcttest spot. while Yuma, .Ariz.. was
the dryest. Mobile, Ala, was a close
second for the wettcst place and I'll
Paso, Tex, took second place aS dry
est.
In the Atlantic Coast States from
Virginia sOuthward and also in iha
Gulf States more than the normal
amount of precipitation fell aS

TUBERCULAR COWS ARE
A MENACE TO HEALTH
Milk Drinkers Would be More eau.
tious If They Gould See
One Cut Open

Six cows afflicted with tubcrcu-
loSis went to the slaughter-house
here Monday morning. following
week of testing thruont the county.
Nearly 600 cows were tested, and
six were found to be infected. The
cows were killed, one at the time,
and dissected. piece by piece, while
their companions in misfortune look
ed on. The meat of two of these
cattle was passed as fit for food.
In cutting up the lungs of the cows,
great deal of yellowish pus was
found. Cows afflicted with tuber-
culosiS are a menace to the health
of every family that drinks their
milk. The COWS are also menace
to other cattle.
DIR. Foulhabcr. in charge of the
work here says that PasquOtank's
infection is somewhat higher than
the state average. This is being
rcmcdicd because PaSquotank farm
erS are paying more attention to i'm
provemcnt of their herds.
People should have their COWS
tested for tuberculosis. 1t is diff
cult to realize the danger to a per-
son who drinks the milk of an in
fected COW. An infant drinking the
milk may contract the disease be-
fore the parents have an inkling of
what is wrong.
Every person drinking milk should
insist that it comes from tested
COW. The city laws require that
milk dealers should have their cows
tested, and every customer should
insist on milk from tested COWS.
There were 204 owners of cattle
who had their herds tested this week.
County Agent Falls is much pleased
with results and believe the tests
made here are only a beginning of a
campaign for pure milk. People are
just beginning to realize the danger
from COWS infected with tuberculosis.
This newspaper has largely been in
strumcntal in bringing about the work
in Pasquotank County. THE 1NDE-
PENDENT has repeatedly urged the
people of this section to observe the
law on tubcrcular cattle, calling at
tention to the dangers of drinking
impure milk.

CEIROPRACTOR PULLED

Broken Leg After Visit To

Hon. f.. VI. Simmons. attOrncy-at-

ton after intense suffering from a
severe lamcncSs of his right leg. DIR.

and informed Mr.. Simmons that he
had a broken leg. an N-ray photo
graph showing pronounced frac-
turc of the neck of the thigh-bone.
Asked how he came by such frac-
turc. Mr.. Simmons said that he went
to IL Chiropractor in another city six
months ago and the Chirapractor in
manipulating his right leg gave 1t
twist from which he tainted at the
time. He did not suspect that the
Chiropractor had actually broken his
leg. but had endured intense suffer-
ing ever since. Mr.. Simmons went
back to Currituck c. ii. in something
of Il rage and is contemplating civil
action against the Chiropractor who

Outside of the personal good it

BILL WOULD REDUCE
ELIZ. CITY MARRIAGES
There Wouldn't be So Many Licenses
Sold 10 Runaway Couples.

What fOrcshadOwS a reduction in
marriages in Elizabeth City, is bill
that has passed the third reading in
the house early in the week. This
blu was introduced by Representa-
i've Martin of Washington County,
who would require at least eight days
notice before license was issued.
Elizabeth City has been known as
the Gretna Green of North Carolina.
Two thirds of the couples married
here in the past several years. have
run away from Virginia and towns
in other states. If Representative
Martins bill were a law. the number
of marriages in Elizabeth City would
DC reduced considerably.
Representative Martin of Washing
ton County proceeded on the theory
that haSty marriage and not divorce
iS the real evil afflicting matrimOny
and the House agreed with him up to
4 certain point If ill-conSidcrcd en-
trance into the state of wcdlock can
be prevented. there is more likli-
hood that the partners to the enter
prise will not grow weary and ask
for papers Of dissolution.
But the amendment attached to
the measure as it goes to the Senate
would have this regulation apply on
IL to those under twenty one years
of age. this proviSo being adopted
perhaps in the conviction that those
having reached their majority know
their minds and hearts as well as
each others hearts, tCmpcramcntS
and general qualifications for matri-
momy. State properly claims the
right to consider for few days ap-
plications for the incorporation of
business concerns; nothing but good
could result from making compulsory
Il little more dcliberaton in the form
alton of these home-building associa-
tionS.

THAT BOIL WEEVIL IS

And The Fact That He Loves Too
Eagerly May Be His UndoinJ

The gallantry of the boil wecvil is
to be his uudoing. according to DR..

DR.. Maxim. at the closing session
Of the National Conference on Boil

~ way in which 10 eliminate the raw
ages of the "billion-do!lar bandit"
was in stopping propagation of the
pests and that he believed he had
discovered way in which they cf-
fcctivcly could be curbod.
DR.. Maxim'S plan is based on sex
instinct. which he claims is stronger
in the male wccvil than in any known
animal and which eventually will be
the means Of his determination.
Quite number OF addresses were
delivered during the morning and af-
ter noon sessions on various methods
of control Of the wccvil. but the plan
aS presented by DR.. Maxim seemed
the most feasible Of them all. and it
is expected thar the entire resources

SAYS FAREWELL TO-
SCUPPERNONG GRAPES
A Newer Beverage is Taking The
Place of The Scuppernong
Juice.

Goodbye, old grapevinCS. your day
is done unless somebody can find
new use for your fruit. Like every
other thing that has been replaced by
the new. you suited the old timers
better, but progress demands some
thing more effective. They tell us
you are doomed.
And in similar strain. a Norfolk
newspaper deplores the passing of
the scuppcrnong in northeastern
Carolina. The Yirginian-Pilot goes
on to say:
"On hundreds of farms. the ragged
vines rest on broken trclliScs. their
roots lacking fertilizer. their branch
cs unpruned and unfruitful
"Prohibition is a partial cause of
the downfall of the famous and lus-
ciouS grape. Vile potionS extracted
from Indian maize have superseded
the tingling flavor of rare old SOUP
pernong juice aged in oak. Modern
progress demands speed and effect
iveness in all things. and the faster
working Spiritus frumenti concocted
under the watchful eye of Luna. has
so far eclipse the demand for the
more potable and friendly jlce of
the grape, that no farmer can afford
to dare the law for the fruits of his
vines. when the bootlegger is ready
and in line with modern efficiency.
"An undoubtedly important indus
try in Northeastern North Carolina
awaits revival of the old vineyards
and the manufacture of their fruits
into Notwithstanding drinks. 5ellics.
marmalade preparations, and the like,
No combination of soil and climate
fosters the scuppernong so well as
that of Northeastern North Carolina.
"Time was when almost every farm
house boasted of a store of one to
eight barrels of the juice of the grape
and when the people gathered around
bowls of branded wines long aged,
and passed the evening with quip,
Jest and song. Those time are
no more. The wine presses
have rotten, and the casks have
ftllen to pieces. Setting hens
nest under fallen branches where
once men gathered luscious amber
colored clusters.
