FACTS ABOUT THE OCEAN.
Water Often Freezes From toe Bottom
Upward.
The oceans occupy three-fourths
of the surface of the earth . A mile
down in the sea the water has a
pressme of a ton to every square
inch. If a box six feet deep was
filled with sea water, which , was
then allowed to evaporate, there
would be two inches of salt left in
the bottom of the box. Taking the
average depth of the ocean to be
three miles, there would be a layer
of salt 440 feet thick coyering the
bottom, in case all the water
should evaporate. In many places,
especially in the far north, the
water freezes from the bottom up
ward. - Waves are deceptive things.
To look at them one would gather
the impression that the whole
water traveled. This, however
is not so. The water stays in the
same place, but the motions go
on. In great storms waves are
sometimes forty feet high, , and
their crests travel forty miles an
hour. The base of a wave (the
distance from valley to valley) is
usually considered as being fifteen
times the height of the wave.
Therefore, a wave twenty-five feet
high would have a basextending
375 feet. The force of waves
breaking on the shore is seventeen
tons to the square inch, Tit-Bits.
Died From Overwork at 84.
Mrs. Anna Farrell, of Green
ville, near Appleton, believed that
at 84 years she was just as able to
work ai when she was 50 years old.
She tried to demonstrate this
theory last Friday and worked all
day with a threshing crew. That
eveniug she was taken ill and died
Saturday morning.
Mrs. Farrell never wore shoes.
In summer she preferred to go
barefoot and in winter was accus
tomed to wear rough sandals.

Baked sweet apples, with some people, bring
prompt relief for Constipation. With others,
coarse all-wheat bread will have the same effect.
Hatare undoubtedly has a vegetable remedy to
relieve everylailment known to man, if physicians
can bat find Nature's way to health. And this Is
strikingly true with regard to Constipation.
The bark of a certain tree in California Cas.
cars Sagrada offers a most excellent aid to this
end. But, combined with Egyptian Senna, Slip,
pery Elm Bark. Solid Extract of Prunes, etc, this
same Cascara bark is given its greatest possible
power to correct constipation. A toothsome
Candy Tablet, called Lax-ets, is now made at the
Dr. Shoop laboratories, from this ingenuous and
most effective prescription. Its effect on Consti

Constipation
Desperate: FlgM Between Uan : and 13
Foot Snake.
Being almost whipped to death
by a coach whip snake is thaex
perience claimed by 'J. A. Mor
dant, a well - known citizen of
Marshall county, Ala, Mr. Mor
dant, in epeeking of the incident,
said he had- been calling on his
pastor and when walking towards
home through a cotton parch, he
came upon a snake that measured
about 43 feet in length. . Seizing
a rock he threw it at the snake
and whdn the reptile showed fight
he turned and ran, but the snake
overtook him. The snake made
two coils around the manl body
and begun to whip him. . Mordant
had nothing to defend himself
with but a small knife and for a
time he was boubtful whether he
would be whipped or squeezed to
oeath before . he could inflict a
fatal wound on the reptile. Al
most exhausted he sunk to his
knees and succeeded in cutting
the snake's head, from the body.
He was exhausted by the exper
ience, but after recovering he came
upon the mate of the dead snake.
This time there was ne battle be
cause Mr. Mordant was the best
sprinter.

J. A. Stikekather and W. L.

Statesville Landmark as follows :
Your airing of "The Bad Debt
Agency's work in Statesville and
Iredell is touching a responsive
chard in the hearts of all good
citizens wherever your paper is
read. Let the good work con
tinue. (As has been explained,
not tbe unfortunate class, but the
indifferent and independent ones
are catching it. and they . need to
catch it). If there is any differ
ence letweena thief and a man
who; makes a debt and then works
and plans to not pay it, the thief is
the best man of the two ; or rath
er, the man who won't pay his
debts when he can is the worst
man of the two. Newpaper men,
ministers, physicans, merchants,
and indeed all classes of our fel
low citizens, have suffered for
generations past because of many
peoples' indifference and blame
along this line. There are many
who posa as fairly good citizens
who are really worse than sneak
thieves. The time is fully .ripe
for puncturing this abomination
of abominations.
God speed you and all others
engaged in this good work.

In tjfi valley of the Yadkin where the

There I like to stop and listen to the

In the valley of the Yadkin where the
mornin$glories grow.
In the valley of the Yadkin, when the

There is where I like to wander and to
drive away dull care.
There is something that inspires me as
I -on my journey go,
In the valley of the Yadkin where the
morning glories grow.
In the valley of the Yadkin, where
grows the pech, plum and vine,
The corn, pumpkin and the apple, and
the lordly muscadine,
While the cotton fields are white and
the persimmon is aglow,
In the valley of the Yadkin where the
morning gloriesjjrow.
There is naught on earth but gladness,"
in this valley bright and fair.
There has never been a sadness for

In the valley of the Yadkin where the
