Craven Sedtibh Loses a: Valued
Citizen Other News Notes
From New Bern
(Special id' The Dispatchl)
New Bero, Sept 13 Information
reaching this city today, told of the
death at Harlowe Tuesday afternoon
of Mr. O. G. Bell, one of the best
known citizens of that section.
Mr. Bell, who was fifty-five years of
age, has been in ill health for a long
while and his death was not entirely
unexpected. He was unmarried and
has no relatives surviving him.
The interment will be made at Har-,
lowe tomorrow afternoon.
That war. is not all that Sherman
said it was is the opinion of Mr. J. K.
Willis, one of New Bern's well known
undertakers, who a few days a&o re
ceived a check from a Northern dritg
firm for something over a hundred
dollars in payment for an article cost
ing him about ten dollars.
A few years ago Mr. Willis pur
chased a hundred pounds of potasium
of permanginate to Use as a disenfect
ant. At that time the product was
retailing for eleven cents per pound.
Mr. Willis did not use a gr.eat quantity
of this chemical and when the war
came on he found that he had about
ninety pounds of it remaining.
The price of the "stuph" continued
to go upward and when a few days
ago it reached a wholesale price of
$1.40 cents per pound Mr. Willis sold
out at a profit of more than thirteen
hundred per cent, on his original in
vestment. The ingredients for the manufacture
of potasium permanginate are secured
from abroad and as it is impossible
to get these now, the chemical is al
most priceless.
The annual meeting of the North
Carolina Fire Association is to be held
in this city tomorrow and local citi
zens are manifesting a real interest
in this event. Mr.. A. L. DeRossett,
of Charlotte, the President of the As
sociation and Mr. J. F. Noff, of Ral
eigh, vice president, will be on hand
and assist in the meeting.
During the day the members of the
association will visit the business
houses here and make an inspection of
these. The public schools and other
public puildings will also be inspected.
A German medical authority main
tains that fifteen minutes exposure to
the sun's rays during an aeroplane
flight at high altitude will kill all the
tuberculosis germs in a man's system.

Prominent Wilmington ; Farm
er, Says Tanlac Has Helped
His Wife Escape Operation.
; Dismissed Coolc arid J Now
Able to Do Her Own Work.
W. N. Care, prominent farmer of R.
F. D. No. 2, and who enjoys the friend
ship of a wide circle of Wilmington
ians, said in a recent visit to this cityi
"Tanlac has made such a wonderful
change in my wife's condition that I
sent for the neighbdra go that they
may see for themselves what a great
medicine this Tanlac is.
"Mrs. Care was told that an opera
tion would be her only hope by several
different doctors who diagnosed her
cape as ulcers of the stomach. For two.
months, before she started on Tanlac.
doctors had her on light soups and the
like. They wanted her to go. to the
hospital ahd undergo an operation.
Fearing an operation, Mrs. Care began
taking Tanlac, for she had heard a
good deal about what it was doing for
others. ..
"And now she is not going to the hos
pital, for her sleep is fine; she can eat
any food she wants without it hurting
her, and has dismissed the cook, be
cause Mrs. iCare herself is able to tend
to her own cooking. Our neighbors are
as surprised as much as my wife and I, J
a m
at the great and ranid chance Tanlac
has made in her.
