A few years ago the mar or woman who confessed to a belief in spirits was laughed at and called a crank or a .fool.

MADAME OLGA FREE QUESTION BLANK Fill out this Coupon anil mail to Mactamr OI*a. to this news paper: Question .. . Name In full Ramblin’ Bill Locates Some Old Money Made In State Years Ago Editor of The Star: A friend of mine knowing that 1 am a North Carolinian has liven me some money to dispose ol fo: him. This is not counterfeit inuiey, nor is it Confederate money. I have several bills in denominations of from lour to ten and one nine do' lar bill. All this was issued by The Bank of Cape Fear, Wilmington, in the year 1823, or 1833. It h quite a curiosity and has attracted qukc a bit of Interest here In Phoenix However, nobody seems to know the history of tills money. The Chamber of Commerce of Wilmington, states that there was issued on these dates by The Bank of Cape Fear, and add that they have the key to the vault to this old bank located in the heart of their city and they also advise me to get In touch with stamp coller tors, etc., in order to sell Mils to them. This money is printed on one sine of the paper only—very fine paper having a silky substance. Thu cor ners of some of tiie bills are burn ed. but the money otherwise is in good condition. If any of the old timers in North Carolina will tell me the history of this money, why it was issued aud what it is worth, if anything, I will greatly appreciate it. I never was one to collect coins, stamps, noi money regardless of how rare About the only collecting I do along these lines is to collect enough to day to eat on tomorrow and some times I do not do that. If this money turns out to be worth anything at all, it will be the first time that anything I ever owned turned out to be of value. Usually when I buy a second hand automobile that par ticular make and model decrease' In value at least one half over night. If I buy a new suit at what I think is a bargain, I find one Just like it in .some other store at about ha'i what I paid and everybody I meet that looks seedy at all is wearing one just like mine. Last summer I bought a new straw Katy that I thought was rather cute and it was WHEN 1 CHILDREN Need a Laxative **Wb hare used Thedford'a Black-Draught in our family for nineteen yeara. I have found it of great help in raia ing my family. T have given it to all aix of my children. Whenever they complain of up eet atomach. or Begin to loon polo and sick ly, I make a too of Black Draught and begin giving it to them. In a day or two they are all right "I give it to them for constipation, and my hus band and I both take it I alwaya give it for colds in winter, for I believe a way to prevent them is to keep the system clean.”—Mrs. Doshie Terry, 1206 4th Ave., Decatur, Ala. surely u bargain or I would na>'p not been able to buy it. The ie>:t day I met an old Darkey who ped dles hot tamales for a living and hi. was wearing the brother to my hot and the twin brother at that. I Im mediately threw mine in the stove and went back to an old Stetson that bootlegger left In the hills sev eral years ago when I was hunting stills In Pinal county. I would like to know the history of this money anyway. The nBtory °i anything from North Carolina is always interesting to me and if it does have any real value omong coin and stamp collectors, would like to have their address, l will send a specimen of this money to any bank anywhere for inspection, trusting that snid banker will net rim off with It. Nowadays its sort of taking chances to trust the banks, but the North Carolina banks are different. 1 would not trust a Colorado bank, nor a Texas bank near as quick as I would a North Carolina bank. A North Caro lina bank loaned me twenty-five dollars once and that's mors then I caii say for any other state. In conclusion, wish to say that the Phoenix bootleggers are net ting their stock jeady for Christ mas and that there is Just as many headaches in a pint of their stuff as ever. Met one today who alter nates his time between Leavenworth and Phoenix, and he Is prettv ousy taking orders lor the Christmas rush. There seems to be considerable competition between the bootleg gers nowadays. There is cutting and slashing of prices and some of them have been known to add water lo their product. The bootleggers It seems are resorting to the same tactics as the merchants and other classes of business. It is the die oi keen competition in all lines and tlie one that makes the biggest suc cess must resort to some measure of advantage over his competitor. I never thought, however, that the bootleggers would ever stoop so low ns to get their business down to such fine points of competition. The latest trick they are work ing here is good. When Mister busi ness Man wants to partake of some liquid Joy he approaches his fav- i orite bootlegger, pays him h.s pri-.c lor whatever amount of stuff he wants. Mister Bootlegger then taxes Mister Business Man's car, goes aft er the boeze and delivers it *o Mister Business Man's house and returns the car to a certain spot If he Is stopped by John Law or some prohibition man, Mister Busi ness Man loses his car and Mister Bootieggcr did not know' that the booze was in it. You see that is playing just about as safe as its possible to play any illegitimate game. It dors not matter what move a rohi. makes, the bootleggers can beat them. That sliows on which side the brains are. When I was an officer I arrested all law violators that I saw. but I did not last verv Jong as an officer. To be a .success ful officer nowadays, it seems, you must knoiv whom to arrest and whom to let go by. There are tricks Ul all trades, however, but I’m pia<o and simple and old fashioned ana i.ave'nt learned all the trick' ye’ and don’t think I will start in to learn them at this Jate age. Don’t forget about the moncy folks—tell me all you know about Sincerely, < RAMBLING BILL - W. B. Williams ">u. Box I S3, Phoenix. Arizona.
