' for a a substitutes. cattails one can get more than 5, 000 pounds of refined flour from one harvesting-. It has been discovered that cattails have large stalks or rhizomes running in several directions! usually a distance of 30 inches or more underground. The soil underneath a marsh' oi cattails is a per feet network of these stalks,, the. stalks being1 about an inch thick and the center of every stalk : a- core - of solid material that is almost a solid mass of starch. The Indians used to eat these roots for food and muskrats hrive on them. From one acre of cattails' 10,792 pounds of these stalks have been taken and the actual yield of manufactured and sifted flour was 5,500 pounds. A sample of the flour thus obtained was sent to Washington to the Food Ad ministration office. This office turned the sample over to the Plant Chemical Lab oratory, where an analysis of . the flour was made. J. A. IjeClerc, the chemist in charge, in. his report on the. analysis says: "This material has approximately the same amount of protein - that, is found in rice and corn flours. , The fat content is somewhat lower than that found even in wheat . flour. In view : ot . our, expe rience on the use "ot flour-substitutes in bakine. we see no reason why cattail flour could not be used to the extent of 10 to 20 per cent as part substitute for wheat flour. who. while serving as Jiiy Attorney Elizabeth City, was convicted in the local of iniurine real estate, the f - , real estate in question being the prop erty of the Y.

July and August there were 26 cases of typhoid fever in Elizabeth City and Pasquotank county, according to figures just given out by Dr. Zenas Fearing, County Health Offiror. Not a single one of. the victims had ever been inoculated wtih the anti typhoid serum, and Ur. rearing points out that this is proof of the most con vincing sort that the preventive treat ment is thoroughly effective. Typhoid, according to r. Fearing, is only contracted by. the swallowing of hu man or animal filth infected with the "firm of the disease, and the number of -a-sr-s recorded during the past three months is anything but creditable to the attitude of the people toward even the most ordinary measures of sanitation.

Fire of unknown origin did some dam age to the awning in front of the Wool worth Five and Ten Cent Store Wednes day night. The alarm was turned, in and the Fire Department responded in full force with their usual promptness. The loss is slight. W: T. Hopkins, manager of the Mag nolia Farm (formerly the old Joshiah Collins Plantation) near Cre swell, N. C, met with a horrible accident by losing consciousness while driving a Ford last Friday. - The Ford, traveling at a fair rate of speed, plunged mto a drainage canal," turned turtle and buried Mr. Hop kins in the mud in the bottom of the ca val. He' was extricated with difficulty bv a man and a boy who were in the car with him at the time and was uncon scious when taken out of the canal. He was resuscitated by first aid methods. Mr. Hopkins suffered no broken limbs, t i.1 but in being pulled out trom unaer me car the flesh of his right leg was badly fnm and blood poison is thought to have .taken to a Norfolk Hospital Monday. The Ford was badly battered; top de molished, fenders smasued. windshield buttered, radiator smashed and other wise battered, but, true to type, cranked up and ran when pulled out of the canaL W. T.

Incidentally he tells a graphic and highly interesting story of the bombardment of Elizabeth City by Federal gunboats in February, 1862. ; He says that, three days after the Battle of Roanoke Island, twelve .of the ships came up the Pasguotant river to capture the city. Their progress was interrupted by ' a Confederate fort which had been hastily erected on Cobb's Point. a few miles below Elizabeth City; with an armament of a few twelve-pouiid guns. As these began to fire upon the gunboats. the latter were turned slightly from their course and a single broadside was fired into the fort, which was defended prjn einallv bv Colonel Wright's Georgia .res iment. With the first roney evwyooay few, as Uncle Charles puts it,- and many t fho. snldieM were drowned in the Warrenton swamp, back of the Flora farm. ' After the fort had been thus Quickly reduced, the Federals continued to Eliz abeth City, and a general bombardment of the town followed. Everybody left in a hurry, and an effort was made by the Southerners to burn the town, which was not entirely successful, for the Federals came ashore and put out the flames wherever they could. Among the build ings burned were the county court house, j.v t na Ttnnsp nn old-time hostelry. which was located where the Southern xii -r stands: the Ten-Pin Alley TTrt which was on the opposite cor ner where A.
