We read often of thrilling ex periences of old men back yonder in pioneer days, and each matter being usually 'read with more or less interest, I ask space in yoor valuable paper to relate an exper ienoemy father had nearly one hundred years ago. Being oue among the first set ' tiers of Western North Carolina, he 11 Ted at that day when deer and bear aad other wild animals in fested this country and were to be found plentiful on the Roan and Unaka enouetaios of Western North Carolina. If y father first settled near the base of the latter mountain, at place known as the "Green Briar," and his nearest neighbor lired some 20 miles from his cabin. He has often related to me that his nearest place of getting his milling done was SO miles distant. My father while living at this place went out early one morning to kill a deer, and secreted himself in a tree lap which had fallen while the leaves were green upon the tree, affording him a fine place of concealment. The tree lap ia which he was concealed was the lap of a large tree which extended across a small stream of water, and while he was thus concealed he heard a rustlior of leaves on the opposite bank of the creek, and upon looking in that direction he saw a large bear approaching his place of hiding and that the bear mounted ou the body of the tree in the Ian ot which he was hidden, and that the bear pro oeeded to cross over the stream on this log, and that when the bear had reached about the middle of the 8 1 ream a panther suddenly Sprang up out of the midst of the tree lap in which father was con ceald, alighting on the same log on which the bear was crossing over The bear and panther met alniu the middle of the stream and at once engaged in furious combat. the bear Ht lirst stroke of his mighty arm sending the panther to the bottom of the stream. The panther, like the lightning Hash, sprang from the water and landed on the bear's back, when they both together went off the log iuto the water. My father, on approach ing the stream to witness the dead ly conflict, suddenly came to a mound of leaves about as tall as his waist, and on kicking the top of the mound off he discovered bnried beneath the leaves a large buck which the panther had killed and secreted there but a Short time pre vious. On approaching the stream the deadly conflict between the bear and panther was still raging, but right soon the bear gave a sad moan, which told my father that the fight was over and the bear killed. The pauther at once sprang back on the log and began licking the blood from his paws, when the animal was shot and instantly kil led by my father. The bear had scented the dead deer and had started across to get a mess. Father got the bear out of the stream and also the panther and placed them beside the deer all in aheap. This is no fake, but true in every particular. A WrotcM MitUk to endure the itching, painful dli trei of Piles. There's no need to, Liiten; "I suffered mooh from Piles," writes Will. A.

E. Shell. South Carolina' State Hospital for the The Legislature investigating committee make report, a part of which we copy from the Charlotte Chronicle. There are no clinical records kept and no classification of patients. Mauy of the patients are sane at intervals and many of them are weak minded or inebriates, and they are made to stay in close wards with the insane. Many attendants are reported illiterate and brutal, many eases of brutality being re ported, showing lack of discipline. There are not enough attendants, it seems to hare been a fact re cognized by the management, bat ae effort was aaade to supply the deficiency. The wards are infect ed with vermin, evea the white women's wards, which bare re cetved the greater part of the at- tentioa. The male patients are allowed to be unkempt and ragged; they are palletted on bundles of straw in aianr cases: there are no proper or adequate bathing facili ties, and the pictures of the bath room show rounding, moat disgusting far from suggs sar iking cleanliness The food is badly prepared by cooks who never learned te cook, and the kitchens are unsanitary, in the basements with leaky floors above them, and no screens, food supply always the same, service of meals shocking, service generally being in dirty, greasy, battered tin plates, frequently set down for sick patients in close proximity te opea and foul chamber pots. Pati eots who ought to be occupied are shut up in close wards to mope, or exercised in narrow yards, but the dreary life unchanging monotony of hanging about the narrow, ill ventilated wards with gibbering idiots and iusane people Snow In the South. Tallahassee, Fla., Jan. 21. Al though the thermortieter registered several degrees above freezing snow fell here this afternoon for tive minutes. Not before in the memory of the "oldest inhabitant,' has Florida's capital been thus visited. Tonight the temperature is moderating. Macon, (Ja., Jan. 21. Snow, driven by a biting wind, swept middle Georgia today. The first snow in fifteen years fell in Ameri cus. Thousands of people in South Georgia witnessed their first snow storm. Snow began falling at Mac on at ten o'clock this morning and continued at intervals Until after night fall. A warning is issued by the State Department of Agriculture that there will be prosecutions of all persous selling seeds without the liceuse of twenty five dollars for seed dealers being paid as required by chapter 924, laws of 1900. Gen eral dealers procure the license and retailers are allowed to sell seed of the wholesaler without tak ing out additional lecense. But it is a misdemeanor to sell the seeds of dealers not licensed. It would be well to know that the man who you sell seed for has paid the slate tax. In freezing weather it is lmpos sible to clean windows with water, bat they may be mabe shining thus: Make a thick solution of scouring soap and water.

He says where the water a month ago ran almost anywhere over the valley we saw and heard it rattling down the canal about nine feet below the surface, and while the banks have broken and fell in somewhat, we consider the ditch in good shape. Seeing enough at that place necessary to couvince the most skeptical, we hurried ou to iiee the machine. well, it is much the same as a railroad shevel aud is operated ou the same principle. It is mounted on a boat, and as the canal at this point carries about eleven feet of water, one would think moving down stream an easy matter, but that is the most difficult part ot the work. While the machine in in operation it is made steady by two lees or braces, one either side of the txMt. These legs staud ou laree square "spuds" and ' ave a ratchet joint by which they are saade longer or shorter at the will ef the operator. The "boom" will reach twelve feet and when it comes necessary te move be the "craft" the operator shortens legs which lift the spuds from the the groand, and if he is not very care fnl he may capsize and sink the entire outfit. Alter moving twelve feet the operator makes the legs leog enough to plant the spuds firmly on either bank and resumes the work it requiring twenty to thirty minutes to complete another section of twelve feet. The average capacity is twelve to eighteen hundred cubic yards in twelve hours, equal to the labor of one hundred and fifty to two hundred able bodied men. It's a truly won derful machine. You'd thiuk was actuated by a human brain. it Not Enough Folk Producing Food, Say' Mr. Wilton. Washington Dispatch. "Undoubtedly if the farmers were raising more meat the price would be reduced," said Secretary Wilsou, of the Department of Agriculture. "There are not enough people on the farms raising food, and too many people are going to the towns to be fed. "Three -quarters of a million peo pie," said Secretary Wilson, "are coming to the United States an nually from abroad. They do not go to the farms, where they might help raise food for the nation. Farmers cannot get help. They go to the cities and they have to be fed. The cities produce nothing to eat, although they do produce something to drink."

Washington, Jan. President 'aft and Giffonl . Pinchot today spoke from the same platform in addressing the National Civic Fed-1 eration, now in session here to dis cuss problems of uniform Slate egislation. Representatives of almost every branch of human activity met to day at the conference to talk over ways and means for bringing abouu uniformity of laws relating to child abor, marriage and divorce, pore food and pure drugs, conservation of uatuial resource aud laws it- atiug to negotiable instruments, bills of lading and other matters affecting the business aud social life of the nation. Serious atteution was accorded the President throughout bis peech, which was a careful pre- tation of the needs of uniformity upon the part of the States in laws, ooking to an amelioi alien of ex isting conditions. Gifford Pinchot, former chief forester, said that subjects such as forest preservation had been ad vocated lv Americans Ur more than a hundred v-aiM but llit the coniiol of water power monopoly u the common int. ret was young er than the present century. "All of them today," he said, "are in the valley of decision. We have come at lat to the point of action. And we must either go forward or fall hack. Iu bisjudgmeut, be said, the forest situation offers a field for uniform action aud for co opera tion betweeu the States themselves and between them aud the nation. What an Apple Contains. New York Tribune' "Do you kuow what you're eat ingT" said the doctor to the girl. "An apple, of course." "You are eating," said the doc tor, "albumen, 8ugar, gum, malic acid, gallic acid, fiber, water aud phosphorus." "1 hope those things are good. They sound alarming." "Nothing could be better. You ate, I tbserved, rather too much meat at dinner. The malic acid of apples neutralizes the excess of chalky matter caused by too much meat and thereby helps to keep you young. Apples are good for your coiuplexiou. Their acids drive out the noxious matters which cause skin eruptions. They are good for your brain, which those same noxious matters if re tained render sluggish. Moreover, the acids of the apple diminish the acidity of the stomach that comes with some forms of indigestion. The phosphorus, of which apples contain a larger percentage than any other fruit or vegetable, re news the essential nervous matter of the brain and spinal column. Oh, the ancients were uot wrong when they esteemed the apple the food of the gods the magic re newer of youth to which the gods resorted when they felt themselves growing old and feeble. I think I'll have an apple," concluded the doctor." Blizzard Grips Ohio State. Cleveland, O., Jan. 22. Ohio today is in the grip of the worst blixzard in many years. Tele graph and telephone service is almost paralyzed delayed reports show terrific damage. One was killed and six seriously hurt last night due to a collision of a train and street car in the storm. Put a stick of wood between the lower part of the boiler and the wall when yon hang it up, and any water that is left will- drain out nicely. This Is Dad's Idea, and he knows. ARE MICROBES IN YOUR SCALP? It Has Been Proved that Microbes Cause Baldness. Professor Unna of Hamburg, Germany, and Dr. Sabonrand, the leading French dermatologist, dis covered that a microbe causes bald ness. Their theory has time aud again been amply verified through research experiments carried on under the observation of eninent scientists. This microbe lodges in the Sebur, which is the natural hair oil, and when permitted to flourish it destroys the hair follicles and in time the pores entirely close, and the scalp gradually takes on a shiny appearance. When this hap pens th?re is no hope of the growth of hair being revived. Dandruff is a contagious disease, which is largely due to a destruc tive micro be, which when left to pursue its eouise causes itching scalp, falling hair and baldness. Dandruff is caused by the microbe affecting th;: gfauds which produce the sebaceous matter, which latter then unnaturally dries up ami scales off. We have a remedy which will, we honestly believe, remove dan druff, exterminate the microbe, promote good circulation in the scalp and around the hair roots, tighten and revitalize the hair roots and overcome baldness, so long as there is any life left in the hair roots. We back np this statement with our own personal guarantee that this remedy called Kexall "93" Hair Tonic will be supplied free of all cost to the user if it fails to do as we state. It will ireqoeutly restore gray and faded hair to its original color, providing loss of color has been caused by disease; yet it is in no sense a dye.
