Charlotte, Mar. 30.—Announcement
of the rift of I100.M0 worth of radi
um, th* largest deposit In the entire
•outh. by ). C. Plonk, of Edgvwood
farm, naar Hickory, to Dn. Hcflry
Norria and W. H. Bigg*, of ftuther
fordton, for the UM of the people of
the atate, was made here yesterday
by a Charlotte financier who assist
ed in the transfer of the money
Saturday in Hickory.
Mora than a year ago, emanations
from the great radium store in Balti
more, wwa seat to Kutherfordton and
Mrs. Plonk was treated for cancer.
The disss is yielded to the treatment
and Mrs. Plonk recovered Several
month* ago she auecumbed to heart
failure, of which (ha had been a suf
ferer for many years and the gift of
radium is aa a memorial to his de
ceased wife, Mrs. Laura E. Plonk.
Mr. Plonk was vary much intereel
ed in this cure, and naked th* pt.jrai
ciana if it would not be a good thing
if the pee pi I of North Carolina and
South Carolina could he nearer tr> a
great deposit than Baltimore. Ha
was informed that it would be of in
calculable benefit to them, and es
pecially to th* poor people.
While this gift of radium I* to
these physicians, it is largely because
of the fact that for years they hav*
done a great daal of charity work,
charging only thoae who are able to
pay and doing th* work for poo peo
ple aa if they were paying th* full
price. They aaaured Mr. Plonk that
they expected to continue auch work
in the future and that with the great
gift of radium could widen the scop*
of their activities.
The precious substance itsell it
no-longer used; only the emanations
from it are usod in the treatment of
cancer and other kindred diseases.
The radium salts are placed in a
chunk of lead, greatly resembling a
cheeae in shape. The lead cake ia
bored full of small holee and into
these holes are inserted test tube*
filled with mercury. The teat tubes
containing the radium is placed in the
center hole.
The rays from the radium are two
in number, the alpha and the gamra
ray*. Only one of these rays ia
desired and the lead acta as an ab
sorbent (or the others. Hence the
mercury in the teat tabes absorbs
only those rays desired. The mer
cury becomes saturated, as it were,
with the rays deaired.
The size of the dose desired ia
measured by the length of time the
mercury tube ia left in the lead-cake
cloee to the radium and by the aiae
of the tube used when making the
application.
The mercury ia placed in a mer
cury pump and then forced into a
glass stem, very much like the stem
of a thermometer, and from which
the air has been drawn. As the mer
cury ia forced up the emanations ee
cape and collect in the hollow glass
ball at the top of the stem. Liquid
air ia then forced againat this glass
bulb and the emanation an froaen,
resembling fioat ok the inaide of the
bulb. The bulb ia then sealed off
with a bunaen burner or blow-pipe
and the doae ia ready to be applied to
the patient. Special containers keep
the rays from the wall tiaodee and
focus them upon ttw tiseasid parte.
The length of time tksjr are allowed
to play upon the illimil parte ia
also a problem of cloee calculation
and has Mcb to 4e with tha eoeeeea

Wilson, Mar. 20.—The rank* of the
"minute men," Instead of growing
thinner, it mwi, grow more con gent
ed as the world continues to multi
ply its population.
The latest sucker to be caught by
the "quoon of the gang who are out
for easy money," ia R. B. Mosely from
a rural district, who was trimmed out
of $440.
Mosely spproached Madame Evans'
fortune telling tent pitched on the out
skirts of Wilson and paid the regular
fee to have his palm read. During
the reading the Madame exclaimed:
"I see an old man who ia near death's
door; h» is very wealthy and a dia
tant relatives of yours but knows
nothing of your whereabouts. Now.
my friend, if you will follow my in
structions you will spend the re
mainder of your days in luxury, for
h« is anxious to locate aoaw of his
kinsmen that ha may will them his
vast wealth. If yo«i will bring me a
large sum of money, the larger the
better, say $ 1,00ft—to sleep on for
three weeks, the spirits, through me,
will communicate with your rich rela
tive, after which I will return you
the money which must remain in my
bed until the time is up—then, if
you wish, you can pay me what you
think is right."
The three weeks were up Saturday
and when Mr. Mosely went to the
camp he found that the fortune teller
had picked up her bed and left for
'Charlotte.
Magistrate J. R Hardy at once sent
a warrant to the chief of Portsmouth
to hold tip woman unless she came
across with $H40 and costs, and this
morning the magistrate received a
certified check for $644.01 on the
First National Bank of Portsmouth
Mr. Mosely says there's a big job
down in this neck of the woods for
"the fool killer."
Claud* Kitchen in Longren
22 Year*, Is 53 Yn«r» Old
Kin*ton, Mar. 20.—Claude Kitchen
will be (3 yean old next Friday. The
minority leader in the house of re
presentative! was born March 24, 1M9
in Halifax county. His first venture
into politics as an office-seeker got
him elected to congress. That was
22 years ago. Every two yean since
then he has gone through the formal
ity of an election. Seldom has the
opposition been determined. The
things Representative Kitchen's
friends will congratulate him upon on
his coming natal anniversary will be,
principally, the material improve
ment. in bis health and the fact that
the folks "at home" an preparing to
repeat.
When Kitchen went to congress the
fint time as a men boy he had al
ready done a man's jrork for the
Democratic party. He was a power in
| the well-remembered campaign of
| 1898 and 1900. He graduated from
, Wake Forest college in 1888, married
; the same year, was admitted to the
j bar in 1890, and following in the steps
I of hie ancestors, was in politics in a
reasonably short time.
