MOONSHINE IN A GRAVE
Novel Scheme of Moon
shiners Discovered in Ga.
A negro was passing by a
country cemetery near Atlanta,
Ga., in the gray of the morning
when he saw a head appearantly
bob up out of a grave and then
suddenly disappear. The negro
did not stop to investigate, but
decided that the climate at this
mrticular spot was not as
healthy as he would like and,
with the speed of a locomotive
made his way to the nearest
hous«. Arriving there, he re
ported the occurence and an in
vestigation was started which
developed the fact that this par
ticular grave had been opened
and a distillery built inside. The
owner of the distillery had open
ed the grave, built in the still
and covered over the top with
plank and then heaped the earth
in a way to give the impression
of nothing more than a grave.
At i-he end, but very carefully
hiden he had left an entrance.
The owner was at once arrested.

have been informed that the
home of J?eter Summy was where
the late Dr. Crowel. lived. This
locates his farm on the west

The farm is a ifertil one. I sup
pose he was among the first set

that he belonged to the German
race of people. I shall be glad
to know if this is a correct hist

know if he was the patriarch of
the Summy family in Western

The Summv family rank among
the best families in North Caro

Doctor Told This Mother That
Vinol is a Fine Remedy—
Mrs. Flagg tells How Her
Daughter Was Restored to
Health By Vinol.
"Our littla daughter, six years
of age after, a severe attack of
the measles, which developed in
to pheumonia. was left pitifully
thin, weak emaciated. She had no
appetite, and her stomaeh was so
weak it could not retain food.
She lav in this condition for
weeks, nothing the doctor pre
scribed did a bit of good, and we
were . beginning to think she
would never recover.
"At this time we commenced
to give her Vinol, and the effect
was marvelous. The doctor was
amazed at her progress, and
when we told him we were giving
her Vinol, he replied, "It is a fine
remedy, keep it up." We did so,
and she recovered her health and
strength months before the doc
tor said she would."— Mrs.J.W.
Flagg, Portland, Me. Vinol is a
real cod liver preparation, con
taining in a highly concentrated
form all of the body-building,
strength creating and curative
elements of ced liver oil and tonic
iron added. It is delicious to take
and children love it. Every moth
er who has a weak, delicate or ail
ing child should try Vinol on our
offer to return her money if it
fails to give satisfaction. Moser

Mrs. J, B. Gibbs was hostess
to the Round Dozen Bookclub on
the afternoon of March 3rd when
every member was present. The
hostess' special book is "The
Dawn of a Tomorrow," by Mrs.
Burnette. The storv which is a
very snort one, is liked very well
by the members, At the request
of the hostess, Mrs Le Roy
Whitener read a delightful chap
ter from "Aunt Jane of Ken
tucky," After adjournment de
licious refreshments in two
courses were served Each mem
ber found a cluster of hyacinths
on her plate. The next meeting
will be with Mrs. W. B. Ramsey
March 17.
Wednesday March 3rd Mrs. A.
A. Shuford Jr. was the hostess
of the Hickory Book Club. Ex-
Pres. Elliott's oration in Texas
was one of the matters of current
interest. The discussion of
"The Vermillion Pencil" by
Homer Lea was made especially
interesting by criticisms and
points of view sent by Mrs.
Gordon Cilley of Philadelphia.
The dining room was lighted by
Chinesa lanterns and candles
with Chinese shades. The place
cards were very dainty hand
painted affairs with Vermillion
pencils and figures in allusion to
the book. Sacred lillies and other
flowers added their share to the
pleasure which was given by the
delicious refreshments. Adjourn
ment to meet next with Mrs. G.
H. Geitner March 17th,
Thursday March 4th The
Traveler's Club met with Mrs.
E. B. Cline. Response to roll
call with quotations referring to
Vulcan and Vesta.
Miss Oitner gave a lecture on
Alexander and his Conquests in
which she skillfully epitomized
the most celebrated parts of the
story of the world conqueror.
Mrs, K. C. Menzies in her pa
per "Hellenistic Thought and
Influent," showed the scope of
the intellectual conquest by
Greece of a large part of the
world. As the quotations were
about the Fire-Gods Miss Schenck
read the celebrated des ription
of the "Shield of Achilles" as
torged by Vulcan from Bryant's
translation of the Hiad, Thus
ended a program of unusual
merit. After current events re
freshments in three courses were
served before the reluctant leave
taking.
Last week Feb. 25 Mrs. C. M.
Shuford entertained the Travel
er's Club. Quotations were up
on Hermes or Mercury. Mrs. E.
B. Cline gave a fine paper on
Demosthenes, the world's great
est orator. Mrs. G, N. Hutton
gave an accont of the battle of
Cheronca when Philip of Mace
don crushed the liberty of Greece
Mrs. 0. M. Royster read selec
tions from Shelley's Ode to Li
berty. Delightful refreshments
were served before the close of a
very pleasant meeting.
Mr. and Mrs. C. K. Chadwick
who-left March 1, for California
have been heard from several
times on their way. After a
yisit in St, Louis they expect to
reach Los Angelos March 9th.
The many friends they made dur
ing their stay in Hickory of over
five months will hope to welcome
them here again before Imany
months.
This is the most dangerous time of
the year to catch cold, and it is the
hardest time to cure it. If you should
take a cold, a few doses of Kennedy's
Laxative Cough Syrup will act very
promptly. Its laxative principle cures
the cold by a gentle but natural action
of the bowels. Children especially like
Kennedy's Laxative Cough Syrup, as it
tastes so good, nearly like maple sugar.
It is sold by C. M. Shuford and W. S.
Martin.

Irrigation and Drainage of
North Carolina.
Spokane, Wash., March.—lr
rigation and drainage go hand in ,
hand in a way and as much im
portance attaches to the problem
of removing a Superabundance of,
water from certain areas as it
does to the bringing of water
to arid and semi-arid lands.
Soseph Ilyde Pratt, Ph. D.,;
state geologist of North Carolina
Geological and Economic Survey
says this in a letter to R. Insinge^!
chairman of the local board of
control of the National Irriga
tion Congress, which will meet
in Spokane August 9 to 14:
"We are very much interested
in drainage in North Carolina,"
Mr. Pratt says, "and now have a
general drainage bill before our
legislature.
"I would suggest in regard to
kindred subjects to be discussed
at the 17th sessions, such as
drainage, forestry and detp
waterways, that you have sever-!
al papers relating to the work
that the states can do themselves j
and also in co-operation with the ;
federal government; also in re-,
gard to forestry to show how the;
perpetuation of the forests and
their protection from fires and:
their extension would be of!
great benefit not only to the
areas to be irrigated but also to |
areas that are to be drained.
"In other words, forestry is |
of great importance to the sub I
jects of irrigation and drainage.
There is a wide work for each
state to do in connection with
the protection and perpeuation
of its forest areas."
Mr. Pratt suggests that Mr.
Insinger write to John Wilkinson
Belhaven, N. C., president of
the North Carolina Drainage as
sociation; Dr. C. P. Ambler,
Asheville, A. D. Tompkins, Char
lotte, president of the National
Appalachian Forestry association
andW. B. Blades, Greensboro,
for their views on the benefic
ial results the discussion of
drainage and forestry at the
congress would bring to the
country.

him. "But." writes his mother,
