Kven before the time of tho Indians the mysterious mimnd-hulld- era knew of the existence of oil and It la known that they dug deep wells to .collect the oil. which they pruho bty used for no other than medicinal pUrpOHt-H.

They became interested in the oil ami took samples with them to New Haven. They submitted these samples to Professor Benjamin Silll mnn to test the oil for lis value as a lubricant and for illuminating pur poses, In place of sperm oil. The re IMirt which he submitted in the fol lowing year was so favorable that Kveleth and Ulssell and several oth ers formed, under the laws of New York, a joint stock company, called "The Pennsylvania Rock Oil Compa ny," which company purchased in fee simple all the land on OH Creek, upon which there Vere any traces of oil. The company also leased for ninety nine years all the lands which wei supposed to contain oil. In isr.fi the company sublet the land to parties in New York who were to develop the property and pay a roy alty of 12 rents a gallon for all t'K oil" produced, to the company. Dur ing the hard times of 1S57 the New York contractors became financially involved and unable to carry out the 'contract. Taking advantage of a slight flaw In the deed they surren dered the land to the Pennsylvania Rock Oil Company. James M.

The Dingley tariff lasted twelve years,,1 and It Is the x record The Morrill tariff, signed by President Buchanan, was changed during th Civil War. Rates were frequently al tered between 1865 and 1S83, The tariff law of 1883 was repealed by th KcKinley act of 1890, and the latter was replaced by the Wilson' bill in 1804, and the Dingley law was passed in 1897. The last named has stood twelve years, not because of any, good i;i It, but because the Republican -)ar ty lemalned In power, The new Aldrich bill nearly met de iVfit when the conference report on It was brought before th House. The vote to recommit it was 183 yeas and 193 nays. Twenty Republicans, chief ly from the Middle West, voted against it, and the Republican party is a party of discord over It. It will not last long.

EXTERMOATE "TYPHOID FLY." He Is the Proven Conunion Enemy of Mankind. We are told that this common pest, which we are so much accustomed to look upon merely as a nuisance, Is, In reality, the most dangerous Insect known to man. Dr. h O. Howard, chief entomolo gist of Georgia's department of agri culture, In order to fasten upon the popular mind the dangerous character of the house fly, has suggested that the name of this insect be changed to the "typhoid fly," and it Is by this name that the house fly is henceforth tr be known by a number earnest medical men who feel that we cannot do too much to arouse the people to the danger of this pest. It is reliably estimated by those who are capable of judging that 85 per cent, of the cases of typhoid fever in cities, and 95 per cent. In the rural districts, is caused by the "typhoid fly." They generate and live in filth and everything, they touch becomes contaminated to some degree. It is highly probable that this contamina tion contains the germs of typholi fever, and hence it is not difficult to understand why the typhoid fever ep idemic occurs in summer and remains until frost has driveirthe "typhoid fly' into hibernation or destroyed him al together. The fly committee of the Georgia Medical Association has undertaken the task of distributing some printed matter which points out the danger of typhoid from the common house fly otherwise known as the "typhoid fly' and strongly urges that people Don't allow fles in the house. Don't permit them near food espe- daily milk. Don't buy foodstuffs where flies are tolerated. Don't eat where flies have access to the food. Some startling descriptions are printed of the manner in which the common house fly distributes death and disease. There is no need to go into the sta tistics of typhoid fever, but if anybody chooses to look them up they will And that It Is high time we were tak ing steps to prevent the recurrence of typhoid epidemics. Scientific Investigation has proven beyond a doubt that it is the common house fly which is responsible for these epidemics. The old Idea that bad drinking water was the most fruitful source of typhoid fever has been exploded. While there Is danger from this source, of course, It Is the deadly house fly which really does the fihiage, and this crusade to destroy h'm should be carried forward with an unsleeping vigilance worthy of the gravity of the situation. KITCHIX 0 "TRUST BUSTING." Many Believe Speech Yesterday Means He Will Oppose Simmons. Raleigh, N. C. August 4. In what many take .to be a pronouncement leading to his active eandldacy for he sent of Hon. F. M. Simmons in the nlted States Senate, Governor W. W Kitchln today addressed the Wake 'ounty Farmers' Union on "Trust Busting," taking the ground that tate legislation can accomplish but little and that the real fight must be through national legislation. He defended his own and the North Carolina legislature's record In anti trust effort. Insisting that it is in the halls of Congress that the 'people must have their anti-trust law mak ers. He regretted adverse criticism ot the last legislature and ot the execu tive for not raising a row with the legislators for not doing more and argued that sub-section "F" adopted by the last assembly is no "pink tea" concoction, as compared with the de feated sub-section "A" or the Texafc anti-trust act either.

Turkey planning war with Greece over the Island of Crete Is menaced upon her northern frontier by the Bulgarians, While four Turkish transports bear Ing Turkish troops are en route to Crete today to Invade the island, word was brought to the Grand Vizier that a bloody encounter between Turkish and Bulgaiian troops had taken place near the frontier. Villagers took part and many were seriously wounded. According to the Turkish version, the Bulgarians precipitated the fracas by firing on the Turks. The dispute with Greece over Crete has assumed alarming proportions bordering on actual warfare. Rifast Pasha, the minister of foreign affairs, declared to the Helenic minister today that the Ottoman government would make a formal demand for the immediate re call of Grecian officers from Crete. The Turkish minister In Athens will also make this demand. It It is not fulfilled, and Greece has intimated that it will not be, Crete will become the battleground. Turkish troops will soon arrive there to enforce the po! Ides of the Ottoman government. ; Turkey already has a flotilla of war!' ships off Crete. These policies are about being resented.

"Our party was derailed at Du buque, la., on the Illinois Central, this morning. No one hurt or received a scratch. Four rear cars left the rails hut no damage, and we reached Chica go only two hours late." Additional particulars of what Is declared to have been a marvelous escape were received last night from the "i elegraph-Herald, of Dubuque, la. ' In reply to a telegram sent by tho News and Observer asking for partic ulars as to the accident, that paper, replied: "Accident was due to defective switch, which opened when a part of the train had passed. The accident occurred at a point thirty feet above a slough on one side and the Missis sippi river on the other. None of the passengers was Injured, but their es cape is regarded as miraculous " .'
