What Do You
Know About
North Carolina?
By FRED H. MAY
1. What two North Carolina coun
ties did not have a single criminal
case against a Negro in the Superior
Courts?
2. What mail service between Ra
leigh and Salem was bragged about
in 1817?
3. What was the difference in the
total vote cast in the first and sec
ond Hoey-McDonald primaries?
4. How much land was involved in
the North Carolina-Georgia boundary
dispute?
5. How many North Carolinians in
the World War were awarded de
corations by the United States?
6. What was the most western
railroad point in N. C. in 1860?
ANSWERS.
1. Mitchell and Graham counties.
2. In that year stage coach service
had been established between the
two towns and a twice-a-weck mail
service was in effect. From Raleigh
another stage coach ran to Plymouth
from which point a boat operated to
Elizabeth City. From Elizabeth City
a stage made a regular run to Nor
folk. Thus there was connecting ser
vice from Salem and Norfolk.
3. The total ballot in the first pri
mary was 516,864, the vote in the
second primary was 480,768, or a few
over 36,000 less than the first pri
mary.
4. A strip twelve miles wide and
two hundred miles long. A commis
sion appointed by the two states in
1806 found that Georgia was about
22 miles within the North Carolina
border. Georgia objected but finally
yielded.
5. A total of 207 were awarded de
corations for conspicious service. A
number of these and others also re
ceived decorations from foreign coun
tries.
6. Early in March 1860 the West
ern North Carolina railroad was in
operation to Hickory, and by August
to Connelly Springs. The next year
w’hen the war broke out the end of
the line was within five and one-half
miles of Morganton. The war inter
fered with the work, however, by
July, 1864 the end of the road was I
within two miles of Morganton. No
more work was done until after the
war.
BENZOL EFFECTIVE
IN FIGHTING MOLD
Roxboro, June 17.—A report sub
mitted by W. G. Rimmer, of the
Hurdle Mills, community shows the
effectiveness of benzol in controlling
the dread blue mold disease of to
bacco plant beds, says H. K. Sanders,
Person county farm agent.
Where the bed was gassed with
benzol last spring, Rimmer secured
245 plants to the square yard at
transplanting time. From the un
treated area, he pulled only 90 plants
to the squai’e yard.
In addition to the larger number of
plants, there was also a difference
after setting in the field. Plants from
the benzol-treatel area started off
much better than did those from the
untreated areas.

HENDERSON, (N. C.) DAILY DISPATCH SATURDAY, JUNE 17. 1939
Capital Gossip
By HENRY AVERILL
Raleigh, June 17.—A story from
this bureau in which certain com
parisons were made of electric rates
brought immediate reaction from
North Carolina’s Washington.
In the bureau story it was stated
that rates given for municipalities
could not be guaranteed accurate be
cause munis do not have to file with
the Utilities Commission and many
of them don’t, or are years behind.
It was also stated that Bath muni
cipal plant charges 10 cents per kilo
watt hour, straight and without dis
count.
It now appears that was one of
the rates which are, in fact, not now
correct. It seems that the Washing
ton municipal plant took over the
Bath power supply as long ago l\
September 1, 1937.
Instead, therefore, of the flat 10
cent rate; Bath’s rates are now 10
cents for the first 15 KWH, 7 1-2
cents for the next 20 KWH and 5
cents for all in excess. Which would
make the table for Bath properly
read: $2.25 for 25 KWH; $3.75 for
50 WKH; $6.25 for 100 WKII and
$11.25 for 200 KWH.
Your correspondent has received
one of Wilmington’s ‘wooden nickels’
issued as a souvenir of the City on
the Cape Fear’s coming “Tale of Two
Centuries” next week. It’s a rather
intriguing little certificate printed
on what is obviously wood.
Incidentally, those Wilmington
folks are planning a real hot time in
the old town for every one of the
three nights (and days, for that mat
ter), June 21-22-23.
North Carolina officials who have
been bragging about borrowing
money at less than one and one quar
ter percent are complete pikers,
nothing else. They ought to take a
few lessons from these foreign coun
tries which borrowed money from
Uncle Sam and which have paid back
80 cents for every SIO,OOO they bor
rowed.
The discovery of the location of the
grave of Arthur Dobbs, royal gover
nor of North Carolina, was announc
ed today by Dr. C. C. Crittenden,
secretary ol' the North Carolina His
torical Commission. The discovery
was made by Miss Marybelle Dela
mar, of the staff of the commission,
while engaged in research for a his
torical marker for Dobbs.
The grave is located at St. Philips
church, in Brunswick county. Only
the walls of - the ancient church re
main.
A circular letter sent out as ad
vertising for the Eastern Air Lines,
but still it’s something to think about:
“Would you believe it is possible to
leave Raleigh this morning, travel to
any major city in the east, New York'
Detroit or Chicago, transact your
business and yet reach home by mid
night?”, ran a paragraph.
“That is not a feat for ‘The World
of Tomorrow’. It’s just a matter of
fact.”
If nobody pays any more attention
than seems to be paid to the filing
of lobbyist reports, why file them,
even late? The law says they shall
be filed by a certain date, now more
than a month gone; yet every day
there come to the office of the secre
tary of stale a few more reports.
“Time”, news magazine of national
circulation, gives President Frank
Graham of the University of North
Carolina quite a plug this week with
the statement that he is regarded as
the best of State University pres
idents in the United States.
SWEET POTATO CROP
IN NASH INCREASES
Rocky Mount, June 17. Present
indications point to a 10 per cent in
crease in the Nash county sweet po
tato acreage this year, says H. E. Al
phin, farm agent of the State Col->
lege Extension Service.
A large number of growers are
planting potatoes in accordance with
regulations set up by the recently or
ganized Nash Mutual Sweet Potato
Association.
Agent Alphin also said 14 grow
ers plan to have their potatoes cer
tified through the North Carolina
Crop Improvement Association.

"Exposition Feet"
Due to Excesses
By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D.
MY friend, Dr. Philip S. Hench,
of the Mayo Clinic, warns that this
year will probably see an epidemic
of gout.
The reason for this melancholy
outlook is the fact that at each end
of our great country we have a fair
—the New York World’s Fair and
the Golden Gate International Ex
position at San Francisco.
And fairs, according to Dr. Hench,
cause dietary indiscretions, exces
sive walking and standing on the
feet, and excessive drinking, and all
this predisposes to gout.
Dr. Hench even has some histori
cal support for his prediction, as
witness the gout wave that accom
panied the Century of Progress Ex
position in Chicago during 1933 and
1934.
“Exposition Feet**
“Exposition feet” will be the name
given to the condition in popular
parlance, but it will really be acute
gouty arthritis.
Gout is supposed to be a Tare and
even disappearing disease, but when
once you are on the lookout for it,
you find a good many cases. When
Dr. Clendening will answer
questions of general interest
only, and then only through
his column. -
I first started to be on the lookout
for it, the first case I saw was in my
own person. I tried to persuade Dr.
Hench that what I had was arthri
tis, but he said, “No, doctor, you’ve
got the gout.”
It should be easy to recognize by
the abrupt orv-t. usually in the base
of the big toe, . acute four or five
day course of swelling, pain and dis
ability, and then as abrupt a disap
pearance. Two days after the de
cline of an attack of gout, the victim
can walk, run, waltz or jump fences
as well as he ever could. Hippocra
tes long ago quoted the case of an
athlete who, a week after a bout
with the gout, won a race in the
Olympic games.
Fishing Trip, Too
Besides exposition seeing, a fish
ing trip is a potent provocative of
the gout. Dr. Hench has a very in
teresting lecture on gout, and dur
ing it he shows a lantern slide which
exhibits a fishing rod. a bottle of

whiskey and a shoe with a hole cut
over the big toe. It is mute but elo
quent testimony to the fact that an
elderly gentleman who goes on a
.fishing trip and walks around too
much on uneven rocks and pebbles
and indulges in a few little snorts at
eventide, just to lessen the fatigue,
is likely to come home with an at
tack of the ancient enemy.
“Thousands of Americans are
suffering'with gout today, only most
of them don’t know what they have,”
says Dr. Hench. “The modern gen
eration of medical men was taught
to believe that gout practically dis
appeared after the war. As a result,
the statistics of several large clinics
indicate that most gouty patients
have to suffer their disease five to
fifteen years before it is properly
diagnosed.”
The lesson is that if you are over
40 years of age, go easy at the fairs
on the eats, the drinks and the walks.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
M. B.: “Please describe som*»
thing about a fresh tomato. I have
a friend who was under observa
tion in a hospital. The doctor told
her it was her liver and said to go
home and eat a fresh tomato every
day without fail. Is that good for
everybody? I have another friend
and she is eating one every day be
cause this other friend is eating
one.”
Answer—A fresh tomato is a de
licious and healthy dish. It con
tains as much or more vitamin C
than a lemon, and the skin of a to
mato is one ofi the best cathartics
on earth. A fresh tomato a day will
not hurt anybody—it is a kind of
variation of “an apple a day keeps
the doctor away”—but the idea that
what the doctor prescribes for one
person is good for another is about
as sensible as supposing that be
cause a doctor has prescribed
crutches for a man with a broken
leg everybody in the neighborhood
should take to crutches.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Dr. Clendeninp: has
seven pamphlets which can be obtained by
readers. Each pamphlet sells for 10 cents.
For any one pamphlet desired, send 10
cents in coin, and a self-addressed envelop*
stamped with a three-cent stamp, to Dr.
Logan Clcndening, in care of this paper.
The pamphlets are: “Three Weeks’ Reduc
ing Diet”, “Indigestion and Constipation”,
“Reducing and Gaining”, “Infant Feed
ing”, "Instructions for the Treatment of
Diabetes”, “Feminine Hygiene” and “Th*
Care of the Hair and Skisi.”
