Big Snow Storm Does Much
Damage
Raleigh, April 3.?The worst
snowstorm in the History of eastern
North Carolina swept this
section of the Stale last night
and this morning carrying down
thousands of telephone, tele
graph and power lines and cut
ting off communication with the
outside world. It was estimated
that more than two feet of snow
had fallen at 7 o'clock this morning
and at 10 o'clock the downfall
continued unabated. Estimates
of the damage done was
impossible but that to telephone
and telegraph companies nlono
will run into hundreds of thousands
of dollars, it is believed.
Train service both from the
North and South is tied up.
The Florida Limited of the Seaboard
Air Line is stalled three
miles from the citv bv a tangle
of telegraph poles and wires.
The passengers have been taken
to a local hotel. Three other
trains, one on the Seaboard and
two on the Southern are stalled
within four miles of the citv.
The streets of Raleigh this
morning present an indescribable
sight. Tangled telephone,
telegraph and power line wires
fill the streeet from curb to curb
Street car traffic is suspended
and newspapers are unabie to
publish because their press reports
and power are cut off.
Norfolk, Va., April 3.?A
northeast gale, which swept up
the Virginia coast early today,
caused serious damage here although
no loss of life had been
reported early tonight. High
tides inundated many of the principal
streets in which
S^Wfrurree~^ie"eY i
phone, telegraph, railroan, ferry
and street car service was nut
out of commission,
The storm struck this section
about 10 o'clock Friday night,
increasing in intensity with ev
ery hour. About midnight the
wind here attained n velocity of
63 miles an hour. At Virginia
Beach the wind blew 75 miles
an hour during the height of the
storm. Snow and sleet began
falling and in the early morning
a higli tide was sweeping into
the business center of this city.
Telegraph and telephone poles
were blown down and all wires
prostrated before daylight.
The storm here is believed to
be the woist since 1887. The
tide, it is said, was higher and
the wind's velocity greater than
in 28 vears.
New York, April k?New
York and virtually the entire Atlantic
seaboard were in the grip
of a miniature blizzard on this
the day before Easter. Snow,
thick, wet and sticky, driven by
a northeast gale, at times held
up trans-Atlantic sailings, caused
craft off the coast to scurry for
shelter, damaged telephone and
telegraph wires, delayed interurban
and suburban traffic and
crippled transportation generally.
Durham, April 3.?Durham
today is snowbound and practically
all business, especially that
of public nature, is at a stand
still. The telephone company
and the Durham Traction Company,
operating the street cars
and lighting plant is completely
demoralized.
T. D. Wright, manager of the
telephone company, says that
900 of the 1,500 phones are out of
commi&ion.
"Sir," said the young man, "I
wish to marry your daughter?
the flower of your family."
"Are you sure," queried the
elder man, "that it is not dough
you are after?"?-Ex.

Germany Submarines Get Two
More Merchant Ships
London. April 1.?While German
submarines continue their
activity around British coasts
the naval wing of the royal flying
squadron keeps up its attacks
on German underwater craft
being built at Hoboken and at
the Zeebrugge submarine base.
The Germans have added two
more steamers to the long list of
iu<-iv ir.tiu uiuu sunn on tseacny
II-ad. The victims this time
wave the French steamer Emma,
torpedoed yesterday with a loss
of 19 of her crew, and the British
steamer Seven Seas, sent to the
bottom today with 11 of her
crew.
The British losses already reported
for the week ending
March 31 were five steamers. A
sixtli vessel torpedoed reached
port. During the week, howj
ever, 1,559 vessels entered and
sailed from British ports. So
except for loss of life, the damage
was not considered excessive.
On the other hand, the British
have no means of ascertaining
the nature of the damage done
by bombs dropped at Hoboken
and Zeebrugge, although it is
believed two submarines at the
mole of Zeebrugge were damaged.
Hats off to Jefferson.
We learn that our neighbor.
tile Jefferson school district has
gotten ahead of us and possibly
ahead of all other districts in our
large county in that they have
put into effect the law requiring
school attendence of all children
who can attend, we are told that
nearly 200 qualified electors
?he
trustees presented it to them.
Now who would have thought
that even Jefferson would have
gotten ahead of Pageland in this
mattef? Of course we do not
claim our neighbor town to be
backward, but in this one particular
we were delightfully surprised
when we learned that the
compulsory school attendence
law?the every child's friend?
had been made operative.
Vrtw wro thrtiinrVit nrplfu vvt?11
of our Jefferson neighbors before
but we think better still of
them now. They manifest a
sympathy for the needy child,
and are undertaking to help it.
Well, we'll be able to say that
for Pageland "'fore long," we
hope. We ar^ waking up now
out of sleep and just as soon as
we rub our eyes* bathe our
faces, and eat a little breakfast,
then we'll sign the petition
which our trustees will have
around soon. We know our
trustees are as unselfish and
care as much for the neglected
children ns rlr> fhn Irnstees pise
where, and we believe that they
will see to this matter before it
is "everlastingly" too late
Let everybody bear in mind
the fact that morning does not
come in Pageland as soon as it
does in some places on the earth
and therefore we get up later,
but when we do start we get
there and don't you forget it.

How to Eat
Exchange
First?Don't eat until "good
andjiungry."
Second?Don't eat when
angry, worried, or when you ca n
not enjoy your food.
Third?Chew all solid food
until it swallows itself.
Fourth?Get all taste out of
liquid or mushy tood by sucking
or sipping.
Fifth?Stop eating when the
appetite begins to say "enough."
Sixth?You will lose weight
at first, even if you are thin to
start with, but in a little time you
will find your normal weight
and stop.
Seventh?Don't think about
the number of chews or sips but
onlv nf th P oninvmonf nf
? ?^ V4JJV/ j anvil I VI LI1VJ
taste.
Eighth?Don't imagine that
meat is necessary to strength.
No?meat meals give better
strength and endurance results.
Ninth? Remember that a
week or two weeks of careful
attention to learning how to eat,
as above, will put vou in the
habit of it so that you will not
have to trouble yourself about
it after a while.
Tenth?Remember that dietetic
righteousness means less
money cost and more solid enjoyment
of the food; and, also
that it mattes it easy to be righteous
i \ other ways.
Boy Sees Backward
Seven-year-old Harold Lutzk
of Atlanta, Ga., is living in a
looking-glass world. He sees
every object backward, just as a
normal person sees it in a mirror.'
Your right hand Is left to him; he ^
I writes from right tWett." fTeHW
read his name if written "Harold
Lutzk," but it looks to him like
"kztuL dloraH."
Harold's strange perverse
vision was noticed when his
teacher found him writing from
right to left.
"The letters run the wrong
way," he said.
But when a book was held
before a looking glass the boy
read it easily.
Harold's mother says there
was a similar case in her family
some time ago. Doctors pronounce
Harold's case one of the
strangest known to science. The
only thing he can do, they say,
is to learn to see things right.
Slightly Mixed
Two correspondents wrote to
a New England country editor
desiring to know, respectively,
"the best way of assisting twins
through the teething" and "how
to rid an orchard of grasshoppers."
The editor answered both
questions faithfully, but, unfortunately,
got the initials mixed,
so that the fond father of the
teething twins was thunderstruck
bv the following advice:
"If you are unfortunate
enough to be plagued by these
unwelcome little pests, the
: quickest way of settling them is
to cover them with straw and set
it on fire."
The other man, who was
i bothered with grasshoppers, was
i equally amazed to read: "The
best method of treatment is to
give each a warm bath twice a
dav. and rub their gums with
I India rubber."?Ex.
