Truo Story olOp'Tatitm l ei lorried
on ti. >V. Ferris,
Special to Notti unil Courier
Salada, November 25.?A moat
remarkable ^example of modern
surgical skill is to bo found in
the person of Mr Hnwun) W
Ferri-?, (if Batesburg, who to-day
in living and in apparent good
health notwithstanding that the
whole of his right long is entire
!y gone and portions of seven
ribs have been removed as the
result of an operation he underwent
some time ago at Hohnoniann
Hospital in the city of
Philadelphia.
Mr. Ferris is a young man of
30 years. Ho was horn in Ver
mont and his father is a native
of Connecticut. lie is the son
of the Rev. Jabez Ferris, now
pastor of the Baptist Church at
Batesburg, and who formerly
served the Camden Baptist
Church for a number of years.
The younger Mr. Ferris is already
tired of the publicity which
has been given to his illness and
the marvellous operation which
he underwent, yet in a short per.
eonal interview with your correspondent
he chatted freely and
pleasantly. He is a young man
of pleasing manners, wvll edu j
cated and has travelled consider- J
ably. He at one time served as'
a reporter for one of the l'hila
delphia papers and was after-j
wards connected with a publish
ltig house in that city. lie has
many friends and acquaintances
iu South Carolina, and is quite .
well known, especially in the.
eastern part of the State?around
Camden.
Speaking of the operation performed
on him he said some
"fairy tales" had been ''woven
iu." Ua further said that the!
operation performed on him was
nothing new in the North. Trior
to his illnesshe was working with
a publishing house in Thiladel I
phia. After his usual vacation i
spent in Georgia he returned to
the North in April. After the!
first day spent in the office ho
went out on the street without an
overcoat. As soon as the cold
1
Kir BirucK mm ne said lie felt it
go through him and pneumonia
soon followed. That was in lf)03.
After being treated for some time
without any apparent relief lie
went to the fiohncmann llospital.
Here, despite all the medical
skill and treatment, his case
gradually grew worse. At last
it was deemed necessary for his
right lung to be tapped. To do
this it was necessary to remove
portions of two ribs. This was
done and from time to time
quarts, even gallons, of water
were removed. Time went on
and his case grew worse instead
of better. Finally as a last resort
the surgeons determinad to
peform an "Eastlander operation."
"This operation." said
U- C II J
mi. reiiiH, consisted in cutting
and removing portions of seven
ribs and not seven ribs in their
entirety, as has been published
in the press of the country, and,
after that, the removal of the
right lung, which was found to
be almost a mass of corruption."
The patient was kept alivo in
the meantime by saline solutions
injected in the arm. lie now experiences
very little, if any, inconvenience
from the operation,
gave some soreness over the
wound made in his side. Ilia appetite
is good and ;he has about
regained his normal weight.
When asked for a statement
il. , * *
huuui, me miraculous operation
he had undergone Mr. Ferris
laughed and remarked : "There
was very little to it," and added
that he was "extremaly tired of
the publicity it had received already."
Although born and reared for
the most part in the North and
New England, at that, Mr. Ferris
if fond of his adopted home and,
like all other New Englanders,
when they come South and learn
something of the real situation,
he feels, and did not hesitate to ,
ay so, "that if the people of the i
North k now more about the negro J:
n? he really is they won!'! have

ltesult of K. V. MiJIard's Researches
in Egypt.
K. V. Millard, who is now making
his homo i 11 this city, has been
lor several years at tidying the
archaeology of Egypt. For the
last year until his recent return
Noah was the gioatest King this
world has ever seen. 11 o was
the greatest of the Egyptian Pharaohs,
not excepting Kameses the
Great.
"Noah was a millionaire. The
Biblical account of the llootl gives
no clew as to where Noah lived
or where his ship carpenters were
at work (or 120 years constructing
the ark. Noah was GOO years j
old when the llooil came. It is
evident thai he must have been
a millionaire and a man of great,
authority. He built the ark at
his own expense. Such a boat
in these times would cost more
than half a million dollars, lie
must have been in a position to
lorco vast multitudes to work lor
him. regardless ol' their interest
in him or in his work, or of their
own personal inclinations.
' Noali huil! the great pyramid
during the earlier pail of the
i fourth Egyptian dynasty, ami not
I more than 1,200 years after God
had expelled Adam and Eve from
the Garden of Eden. 1 have
often sat on the shady side ot
this stupendous pyramid and
pondered on all possible methods
of transporting and lifting the
vast blocks of limestone to such
dizzy heights. I was impressed
with the thought presented in
Genesis that there were giants
in those ancient days. If Noah's
sire and intellectual powers were
proportioned, as his age, to ours,
then in brain and brawn and
stature he, too, must have been
a giant.
"God had those prehistoric
giants erect those mighty pyramids,
palaces and temples in tho
valley of the Nile, and cover the
palaces and temples with hieroglyphics
to testify tor Him as
signs and witnesses to the truthfulness
of Bible history. This
was done in the Valley ol tho
Nile because there only were all
natural conditions favorable for
their preservation.
"The IIolv l-tonlr /?f H<?
brews and the Stone Bible of
Egypt have both been miracu
lously presetved. In that same
land of Egypt was once the largest
city ever built by man. It
was called in ancient days No
Amen. We call it Thebes. It
was named No (or Noah) in hon

Hisses When He Kills.
' The Filipino," said a young!
Philadelphia!! whose term oi service
in the army has expired and 1
j who is glad to got back home,
! "is a curious mixture of the hu-1
! man being and the reptile I,
j think, however, thai Iheroptilej
predominates. The Filipino will
crawl noislessly on his stomach
just as a snake can, and must of
tho human attributes are lacking
in his make up. But the thing
that impressed mo most was the
snake-like hiss that ho invariably
emits before he strikes. This
seems to bo just as instinctive
with itim as it is with a snake. ,
There is a sharp undrawn breath i
in.u comes as a warning and gives
a man a second's lime to drop
flat, or to throw up an arm if the
antagonist is within striking distance
with a knife. That hiss,
though, is not restricted to the
Filipinos, I am told that it is
characteristic of all Oiientials.1'

Queen of the Home.
The queen who ? ?fs upon the
throne of home, or owned and
Bcepterod as none other ever coo
be, is mother. H<?r enthronement
is complete, her reign mi
rivalled, and the moral issues ol
her empire arc eternal. "Her
children arise up and call her
blessed." Rebellious, ar. times,
is the subjects of her government
may be, she rules them with
marvelous pa'.iouc, \ winning ton
ilernesa and undyr.g lov Sim
o presents and exompb.fi divine
trtitli, thai it reprndue s itself
in the happiest d veiopment
of childhood, character and iife.
Her memory is sacred while she
lives, and becomes a perpetual
inspiration, even when the bright
flowers bloom above her sleeping
dust. Scotland, with he.r well
known reverence for motherhood,
insists that "an ounce of moth is
worth a pound of clergy." The
ancient, orator bestowed a flattering
compliment upon the homes
of J toman mothers when'he said,
"The empire is at. the tire-ide."
Who can think of the influence a
mother wields in the hnVno, arid
not he impressed with its far
reaching results! Mchtmmed
expressed a great truth when he
said "Paradise is at the, feet of
mothers." There j>? one vision
that never fades from the soul
and that is the vision of mother
and home. No man in all his
weary wanderings, over goes out
beyond I lie overshadowing arch
of home. I,. L him stand on the
surf beaten coast, of the Atlantic,
or roam over the western wilds,
and every dash of tho wave and
murmur of tho breeze will wliis
per "Home, sweet hom?." Set
him down amid the glaciers ol
the north, and even there tin ught
of home, too warm to l>o chilled
by tho eternal fronts, will float m
upon him. Let him rove thiough
the green, waving groves and over
I ho sunny slopes of t he > out h, at d
in the smite of (he soft skies, and
in the kiss of too balmy breeze,
home will live wgMr>.
