How a young man masqueraded as a girl from the time of his birth until he reached the age of 21 years of age, is the strange tale and it's absolutely troe brought back from Ocracoke by Washington visitors who have just re turned from the island, according to the Washington, N. C, News. Vera Williams was the name of the "irirl." Charles E. Williams is the name of the man. Williams' mother, it is said, had her heart set on a girl-baby. When the boy was bom she determined to dress hint as a girl and not say anything to anybody about it. He was dressed as a girl and he went as a girl until he reached the age of 21 years. During all that time w one ever entertained any suspicion but that he was what he represented to be. In fact, it is said that at various times several of the young men of the island courted him. When he reached the age of 21, how ever. Williams decided that he had had enough of masquerading. Without saying anything to anybody about it, he sent off to a mail-order house and bought a complete outfit of men's wearing apparel. When the stuff ar rived he concealed it in his room. That night, after the rest of the family had gone to bed he proceeded to make some alterations in his personal ap pearance. He cut off his hair and he ilv9fi-2t poles to a stone; thence south 61 1-2 WATER WATER-J. E. Robbins & Sons. Well Drillers. Box 258 Gastonia, N.

SOLICITOR WILSON CALLS WITNESS TO ACCOUNT E. L. Johnson, Administrator augl-6w. Opens Up On Cross When Told After Court That He Had Worked ror His Election. (Charlotte Observer) Solicitor Geo. W. Wilson's tawny hair bristled to the roots a few days ago when a witness, J. L. Cross, came oyer to argue with the solicitor on his manner of handling the case of the 3 corner fight that followed the Hun tersville liquor still case, when Mr. Cross, after stating that he thought the solicitor had been a little wrought in his manner of handling the case, said: "I worked for you up there and stood for you and did all I could for you." Although Mr. Cross had introduced his remarks with, "I want to talk it over in a cool manner " the solicitor at the suggestion of a plea because Mr Cross said he had worked for the so licitor stood facing the Huntersville men, and came back with: "You needn't think you can talk that way to an officer of the law, nor think you can bribe me, by saying you work ed for me. I am here to do my duty and whether you ever worked for me or not is up to you, but yau cannot use that as an argument to me now. "It is just this sort of spirit that starts these cases,' and the solicitor was straightening up like an electric rod. "Leave that sort of talk out, will you," he almost shouted at the witness. "That is a nice way to talk to an of ficer of the court and don't think it will have any influence on me. I am not here to be bribed by what you have done for me m this way." Later Solicitor Wilson stated that he could not stand for a thing like that which the witness had started in the courthouse. "I can't let people come and tell me they worked for me, in such a case as this. I am here to do my iuty, and I am going to do it."

Mr. Cross testified that he went with his son on July 4, to ask about a rum or that he had heard concerning the whiskey matter and that there was no plan of meeting made of the men charged with taking part in the fight. He said he wanted to remove the stig ma, from the name of his family. This was on direct examination. On cross examination by the solicitor, it is said few questions were asked, but the solicitor handled the defendant in the customary way in arguing for convic tion in the fight case. Jay Cross plead guilty in the case. A. L. Smith was acquitted of the af fray charged and Tom McAuley was found guilty. The court has reserved judgment.

Here's why CAMELS are the quality cigarette E m. ST TUimSHb DOUESTIct A BLEND BM, ClDARITTrS ECAUSE we put tne utmost quality into this one brand. Camels are as good as it's pos sible for skill, money and lifelong knowledge of fine tobaccos to make a cigarette. Nothing is too good for Camels. And bear this in mind! Everything is done to make Camels the best cigarette it's possible to buy. Nothing is done simply for show. Take the Camel package for instance. It's the most perfect packing science an devise to pro tect cigarettes and keep them fresh. Heavy paper secure foil wrapping revenue stamp to seal the fold and make the package air-tight. But there's nothing flashy about it You'll find no extra wrappers. No frills or furbelows. Such things do not improve the smoke any more than premiums or coupons. And remember you must pay their extra cost or get lowered quality. If you want the smoothest, mellowest, mildest cigarette you can imagine and one entirely free from cigaretty aftertaste, It's Camels for you. Camel S. J. REYNOLDS TOBACCO COMPANY, Wm.eon-S.Lm. N. C.

Thomas, state superin tendent of public instruction of the State of Maine, was here this week with the" school of rural education. Dr. Thomas held a number of conference with the students of the school of edu cation, in addition to three public il lugtrated lectures in Gerrard Hall. His story of the training of rural teachers in Maine was the most interesting of the many interesting things he had tc say while here. Dr. J. Y. Jorner, former superin tendent of public instruction, lectured here Wednesday o n co-operative mar keting of cotton and tobacco. Dr. Joy ner brings the same enthusiasm to this new work that he showed in his former position, and the students of the summer school went on record as favoring a system of co-operative mar keting. Friday evening in Gerrard Hall Pro fessor Collier Cobb gave his first pub lic lecture since his return from the Orient and South America. ' Professor Cobb spoke particularly of Japan, and illustrated his lecuru with hand colored slides made from his own protographs.

Shouting, Sight-Seeing Buss Men May Cause the Former President To Leave Washington. Washington, D. C, Former Presi dent Woodrow Wilson is finding that an ex-President is not a private citi zen, even after he retires from the White House, unless he gets beyond the gaze of the curious and out of the hearing of the leatherlunged, sight seeing guides, who abound in the na tional capital. For some time intimate friends of the Wilsons have known that they were not entirely satisfied with the handsome home which they purchased on S. street, and belief is growing that they will seek a more secluded spot before long. The house, while a very handsome one, is made of speel laths which, it is said, are more sen sitive to sound than ordinary wooden ones, and this makes the new home a noisy one. But this is not the chief objection. It has been found that therr is almost as much interest among tourists in the Wilson home as in the White House. It has been placed on the regular route of the sight-seeing buses, and as a re sult the ex-President and his family are annoyed with the "spiels" of mega- iJHuiie arusis at an hours of the day. There is hardly an hour in the day that some of these huge vehicles are not in the vicinity of the Wilson home, and as the streets are free to these "rubber neck" parties there is no way to limit the hours in which the "bally-hooing" takes place. It has heen fonnA thnf , - ""b num bers of Washington people drive their Yuuwra uy we piace and even truck drivers have been known to drive blocks out of the way to include the Wilson home in their itinerary. While it is understood that no posi tive decision has been reached, the ex President is understood to be consider ing favorably the suggestion that he again become a resident of Princeton, N. J., where he resided for so long during his connection with Princeton University. Wilson is said to entertain a very strong sentimental attachment for his old horse, and alumni of the Umversity.who recently attended com mencement exercises at Princeton, re port that the ex-President's kindly feelings for the University town are heartily reciprocated by residents of Princeton and the University faculty students. They say that even some of those who became embittered at Wilson in the days when he was fi&hting shams in the educational system and insisting on democracy supplanting snobbery at Princeton, have hernma mallAnraJ wifl. time and have changed their attitude. uiu inenos oi Wilson who have vis ited him at his home hora port that he is taking a keen interest in all tliA ki J .L . j ... a., uiB cvcius oi vne aay, and that he is following the trend of devel- ODments in natinnnl nnrl mt,.r,i.,t;,,.,l policies. His adherents are gratified at the very apparent growth of appre ciation of the ex-President which is showing in Washington wherever he mKBs ms appearance. Wtihin 10 days he received ovations, once at a theatre, and the nthor time at a baseball game, which have rarely oeen equaled wnere private citizens were concerned. CHEW MORE, LIVE LONGER Thrift Magazine. How reasonable it would seem to be to learn to chew food twice as long as we do, and as a natural conse quence eat half as much as we are accustomed to eat. And we might add that a natural result also would be that we would live twice as long. Old age comes on, we are told, by the gradual decrease in the body's power to eliminate waste matter. People who practice "Fletcherizing," or very thorough chewing are adding many years to their lives. We are accustomed to thinking of meat as the only food which requires very thorough mastication. Every thing we eat or drink should be tak en slowly, so as to be well mixed with! saliva. Even milk should be slowly sipped instead of being drunk as wa ter. Any practice which eliminates doc tors bills and improves the health is a great economy, of course, but think, too, of cutting that grocery bill in half! When ordering two pounds of steak for dinner, remember that one pound will be even better than two if you take time to chew it well. HOW IT FEELS TO BE N STRUCK BY LIGHTNING Editor Elkins, of the Siler City Grit, who was struck by lightning several weeks ago and almost killed, gives the following account in his paper of his experience with lightning. "It is very limited. From what I can learn it seems that I was shocked and not struck by lightning. I knew absolutely nothing of the" matter for at least an hour and a half after I was stricken. It was about 7 o'clock in the evening. I had mixed feed for my cow on the other side of the lot some 76 feet or more away. I had gone about six steps. Then all memory or knowledge of things left me I didn't see hear, feel or know anything of my condition or, its cause till 9 o'clock, about the time the doctor came and gave a hypodermic injection to ease my pain, which was very severe, In fact I had almost 'passed over the riv er.' When Mrs. Elkins and some neigh bors came to me in the lot I was as limber as a dish rag. My injury was centered in the region of my right shoulder, and my pain did not go high er than my collar bone nor lower than the muscles of my chest. My head works and running gear were intact all the time after I 'came to.' The first aid I received was similar to that given a drowning person the working and rubbing of my limbs. I was given plenty of sweet milk for several hours. Bathing the injured parts with liniment or whiskey did no good, and the only thing that has afforded in stant temporary relief is the wrapping of my arms in towels wrung out of water as hot as I can bear it. Some of my friends wondered if subsequent electrical storms have had any effect upon me. They have not. Today, two weeks after my shock, I am feeling almost normal, with the exception of the soreness in my arms, which will probably not let me work for another week or ten days. Jury take the case. THAT "PLAGUE AND FAMINE." (Rhamkatte Roaster, in News and Ob server.) The Old Codger hadn't come around for several days and when he came in this morning he was asked how Presi dent Harding's "Plague and Famine" were affecting Rhamkatte since all the people were threatened with pella gra. "I was fotch up,' said the Old Cod ger, "not to be disrespeckful of folks in high places, but it's all I kin do not to express myself about what the President sed of this kuntry. I'm al most ready to agree with Andrew Jackson Medlin, who, when he heard that President Harding had sed there was a famine and plague in the South, expressed himself thus. " We air sufferin' from Harding and Hell and Hard-times the three worst H's that ever afflicted us.' "Now, mebbe Andrew Jackson wuz a Puttin' it a lettle too stong, but by the Etehnal it made me vexed fer to see the President of the United States a advertisin' the whole south as afflict ed by Plague and Famine. We have a plague in the shape of a Republikin administration up to Washinton and a famine of cash because we kaint sell our crops. As a matter of fact, we have more bread and meat, more hog and hominy, than we ever had. Ef we jest could git money jest five per cent profits on our cotton and tobacco we could pay our debts.'" The Old Codger was informed that Mr. Harding had called a meeting of all the public health officers of the Southern States to investigate more fully into conditions in the South. "Exzactly," said the Old. Codger. "But why didn't he do that before tell ing the world th .South was a sufferin' from 'plague ai. 1 famine?' My idea is that nobody, much less that Presi dent, ought to spread broadcast a damagin' report without full investi gation. There hain't bin a case of pel lagra in Rhamkatte sence the war, an' yet there air many cases of folks who air about to be smothered in their own industry which air another way by sayin' that they have raised sech big crops they don't know what to do with 'em. I d be better off ef I Jiadn t rais ed a single bale of cotton or barrel of of corn this year unless some market at livin' prices can be found. If Mr. Hardin' will co-operate with Europe an' git us markets there'll be no dan ger from pellagra. Ef we kaint get no markets, why we farmers will have to go to town and try to git something etse to oo. Lumberton, Aug. 2. Ex-Judge A. T.

SOME POOR BLIND FOLK HAVE NEVER SEEN MIRACLE By Bruce Barton, Here is an imnortant dlsHnl-t.imi that many people overlook, God made tne world; but does not make your world. He provides the raw materials, and out of them every man selects what he wants and builds an individual woria tor nimself. the fool looks over the wealth of material provided and selects a few plates of ham and eggs, a few pairs oi trousers, a lew dollar bills and is satisfied. The wise man builds his world out of wonderful sunsets, and thrilling experiences, and the sqng of the stars, and romance and miracles, Nothing wonderful ever happens tr the life of a fool, A primrose by a river's brim A yellow primrose is to him, And it is nothintr more. An electric light is simply an elec tric light; a telephone is only a tele- pnone nothing unusual at all. nut the wise man never ceases to wonder how a tiny s,peck of seed, ap parently dead and buried, can Dro duce a beautiful yellow flower. He never juts a telephone receiver or switches on an electric light without a certain feeling of awe. And to think what a miracle it is, 1L.' 1 m . .. .. mis narnessing oi electricity to thi service of man! Who unless his sense of awe had grown blunt through constant famil iarity, would believe it? The sun, the center of our universe, goes down Denind the western hori zon. I touch a button, and presto! I have called it back the room is flooded and with light. The thunder that men once called the voice of God, rolls out its mighty waves of sound, and the sound car ries only a few scores miles. But I puny speck upon the face of the earth I left a little instrument; and Denoia, my whisper is heard a thou sand miles away. Prometheus stole fire from the gods and brought it down to earth. For that crime the gods chained him to a lonely rock and sent a huge bird to feed upon his vitals. Each night the wound neaieo and each day it was torn open again. That was the punishment of the man who dared to wrest away the richest treasure of the gods. . But fire the treasure of the gods has almose disappeared out of our daily life; we scorn it. Do we want heat? We press a button: and lo, heat, invisible, all persuasive, flows jnto our homes over a copper wire. Do we need power? We have but to press another switch and giants come to us over the same slender roadway. Clothed in visible gar ments, they cleanse our homes, wash ouf clutches, crank our automobiles do everything that once taxed the strength of men and hurried women into unlovely old age. ' Don't let your life become a prosaic affair; don't let familiarity with tha marvels about you breed thoughtless ness and contempt. Let the fool build his world out of mere food and drink anc clothes; you fashion yours out of marvelous experiences; furnished and decorate u with miracles. Exercise your mind in the whole some activity of wonder; train your soul to reverent awe. If you had stood with Moses on the shore of the Red Sea, and had seen it divide to let the children of Israel pass over, you would have had no dif ficulty in recognizing that as a miracle. But every night when the sun goes down, a man stands in a power-house in your city and throws a switch, and instantly the city and the country for miles around are flooded with sun shine. And you say to yourself casually: "On, I see the lights are on.'' A NEW DEATH DEALING - WEAPON FOR OUR ARMY "I SEE BY THE PAPER" Salisbury Post: About 28 million copies of news papers are now sold daily in the Uni ted States. Practically everybody reads a newspaper. Hence the average paper is read by four persons. In many communities the popular paper has an average of five readers for every copy sold. That should interest advertisers. Incidentally, we wonder how many times a paper is read after you throw it into your wastebasket and before it reaches the machine that makes it into pulp, that in turn, becomes strawboard or wrapping paper. For who, except a rag picker, can resist glancing at the healdines of a newspaper, no mater how old it may be or where it is discovered ?

A Boston scientist hag given the U. S. army the most terrible instrument of death ever devised by man. Two men. Dossessine the neeret could murder every soul in any city in half a day, with little danger to them selves. The new weapon, which makes the United States more than ever invinci ble, is a volatile liquid poison a gas so deadly in its effects that despite all efforts at secrecy, European nations have learned with alarm of its exist ence. Statements made by their public officiala already propriesy terrible things for the "next war," and hint at the mysterious gas discovered by America. Their alarm is not unfounded. Five hundred pounds of the new sub stance liberated on Flagstaff Hill Would kill instantlv on Boston Common; in that part of oeacon street wnich borders it; in Boylston street from Park square to Washington; in West street Temple place, Winter street, Park street and Tremont street as far north as the Old Granary burial ground, Part of the public garden would also be included in the area affected, which would be 1500 feet on a side. Foreign nations are considering the havoc which mlcht he huge aerial bombs, carrying half a ton or more or this nuid and dropped in populous sections of their chief cities from airplanes. Maj. Gen. Sir Frederick Sykes, in an address before the Institute of Trans portation in London, pictured the hor rors of the "next, war" in the ; said: "America reports of a new gas to be dropped from the air are practicable. Air operations may include gas attack from the air in co-operation with sub marines on naval bases. General Sykes has read the follow ing statement attributed to a high of ficial of the American Chemical War fare service, who gradually discussed the propertes of the new gas: "One nlane. cArrvlnw tm ten. e tu lipuid could cover an area 100 feet .uu TOicii miira Jong, in one trip, and could deoosit enough material to kill every man in that area.

There is neither rhyne nor reason in spending between four and six billion dollars a year to run this government. It never seems to have occurred to Congress that is the mon ey were not spent, the taxes would not have to be paid. During their last year in power Democrats cut down federal expenditures by a billion dol lars. The Republican not only have not reduced expenses a cent, but they have added to the taxpayers' bur dens. As long as they continue to throw money at the birds they will necessarily, and rightly be perpetu ally embarrassed by the difficulty of finding new nethods of taxation. Such luxuries as a navy that costs $410,000,000 a year, an army that costs nearly as much, a shipping board that costs nobody knows what, but certainly more than $425,000,000, and other things in proportion, even down to a Volstead law that requires an $8,000 a year commissioner in each nf the 48 states t.n enforce such luxuries as these are natural steps toward federal automobile licenses stamps on bank checks and three- cent letter postage.
