JOSEPH HYDE P1IATT. 3Lato Geologist: i nun m NOBS Comparltvely few people In North .'arollna know thftt there grows In ?ur fields and forests a vast store >t undeveloped wealth, In the shape medicinal herbs. That some (now the value of this resource Is ihown by the fact that in States ?ille, conducted by Wallace Broth ers, Iff the largest crude drug house n the woyld. More attention was paid in North Carolina to this source of wealth ?ne hundred years ago than there Is oday. Then foreign governments , -ent representatives to the state to -tody our plants. Since that time hey have *been grown In large quan Itlee elsewhere and we have grad tally ceased to pay proper atten tion to this asset. Today In consequence of the for Ign war, drugs oannot be Imported nto the United State* as In the past. North Carolina's wealth of native uedlclnal herbs ? and she has more ban any other community in the *orld ? la thus made of special Im oortanoe. Already 1n some communities the Tpportvnity of profit haa been seld ?d. From one email town, within a o imperatively short period, there las been marketed enough of one tlant ? Jerusalem oak ? at three 'tent* a pound, to bring In constder ibly over $10,000. Why should not the women on he farms of Worth Carolina supple ment their egg, chicken and butter nsoney by collecting and preparing or market natlre medicinal herbs. Vmong the more familiar of the naay of value are mullein, burdock, mellow dook. poke root, tansy, wln er green, horehound, pennyroyal, ?asaafraa root, black haw, lire over eating or "raftMt tobacco," barber ry, dandelion, clover tops, elder flow ?nr, and bark, stramonium or Jlm ?la weed. Indian tobaoeo or lobelia, Mood root, mandrake or May apple. 'BRellra. larkapar, Juniper berry, lee weal em oak, and wild cherry bark. There are many others. The high wet priced are glaeeag aad gol den seal, bringing ?7 a pound, ?till other* aeay ha cultivated. Tha work of eeUeettoe aad prep aratloa la Hght. Interesting. healthy "UK OF mm PLEASING SHOW Ib a eeason which fau bm far from brilliant, from a theatrical standpoint, thus far. It was a ml treat to see the pretty littl* opar* "The Prince of Tonight" played lo cally laet evening. Moat recent of ferings either la the line of light opera or musical comedy hare beat sickly If not reellr bilious. The Prince of Tonight was worth while both as to plot and music, the parta well tsken and the rolces well drill ed. Miss Mabel Laffln In the prima donna role was a decided hit. To ? small but well rounded voice sha adds a most attractive personality, snd plays a rather difficult part most successfully. Tom Arnold In the part of the Prince gets away In good shspe. The part with a mighty little voice swallowing could be made a most mtiBhy and sickening exhibition. He handled his sentimental scenes effectively and hie songs were en cored several times. Frank Harsh as the irascible old Mineral Spring man with a penchant for breaking hats was the comedy part. His dis position an well as his physique sim ply bristled with bellicosity. The part of Bonnie Stuart vti well han dled by Miss Eva Phelps and her dancing was very graceful. The frequency with with she nlapped her "bom-bom-pon" during one of the -canes indicated clearly her freedom rrom any fear of appendicitis. Some clever tango dancing was given by Miss Wilklns snd Mr. Burch. The feature of the show all the' way was the really splendid singing of the male chorus. It took a good show to stand the tough gotng of the present eeasov and "The Prince of Tonight" proved It's title to a Jam-up little opera. May it come to see us sgala next season. ? M. B. Prevost.
