PEASANTS HUNT J
FOR TREASURE
ftural Population in Remote
East Prussia Upset
by Story.
Berlin?A blind beggar's prophecy,)
an enchanted city, whose people wait
beneath the Golden Mountain for tin*
moment of deliverance, an enchanted
king, who will some day rule the
world, and a vision of endless riches
for those who free the entombed citizens?it
all sounds like a fairy story I
from Grimm or a fantastic episode!
from thef Thousand and One Nights.
Yet it is the basis of one of the
most amazing causes of credulous be- j
lief among European peasantry on
record, a tale more fit for the entertainment
of children than for the
more or less sober pen of the modern
historian or the chronicler of daily
events in this twenty-first year of tho
twentieth century.
It relates to the people who live in
the remote East Prussian region
where was fought the famous battle
of Tannenberg, the fight which made
the reputation of Himlenburg. These
people are to be found among the
Mazurian Lakes, close to the Polish
border, and are known as Mazurs.
They are of Slav origin, and still
speak a distinct Slav tongue.
Crowds Search.
Today, they are crowding to the
mountains in search for gold, which,
they think, will be successful if they
dig out the inhabitants of the enchant
ed city which, an ancient legend says,
is buried there. Everywhere there is
prayer, and from all parts men and
women flock to the hillside. .Incantations
and black and white magic are
being extensively used to give potency
to the prayer. But the prophet keeps
jealously the secret of the i-uigic
words by which alone the miraculous
deliverance can be achieved. Large
sums have been offered to him to give
away the secret, but so far he has re,

became effective on and after July I,
!!>:>), and which supersede previous

No Worms in a Healthy Child ^
All children troubled with Worms have an unhealthy
color, which indicates poor blood, and as a
rule, there is moro or 1 ess stomach disturbance.
GROVE'S TASTELESS CHILL TONIC given regularly
for twoor three weeks will enrich the blood,
improve the digest ion, and act as a tfent-ral Strengthening
Tonic to the whole system. Nature will then
throw off or dispel the worms, and the Child will be i
in perfect health. Pleasuut to take. GOe per bottle, j

Every Sunday and holliday has >-e^n 1

hillside and they gather round the

5 HORRY HERALD, CONWAY,
SAYS CHINESE
BORN TRACERS
Correspondont Tells of His Impressions
in River
Town.
By Wm. Philip Sinutts.
Some reflections after a walk
iround Wuhu:
One t'nin^ I have learned is this:
Von must not expect too much of a
Chinese city in its infancy; youth
is alwnys careless about dirt and
Wuhu is scarcely two thousand vears
old.
Hope that dead men 1 met in the
n ad slung on a bumbo pole between
Lwo grunting Chine >es didn't die of
pest or smallpox. Caught in a dark
smelly street about four feet wide, I
couldn't give him as much room as 1
should have liked.
Nearby 1 saw a woman washing
salad in a puddle of water, filthy and
odoriferous beyond telling. M\
thought was maybe the dead man
was eating just such salad as that
yesterday.
Wonder why China isn't swept by
plague which, would not stop until the
last man, woman and child had been
carried olf.
On a great field near some Stan-'
dard Oil tanks 1 saw native boy.;!
playing football They were doing it
well despite red-and-white calico uni
forms.
M. H. B. B'irwell of the Methodist
Mission at Shungking was watchirm
them.
"If they can Uain football," he|
mused, "they can learn sanitation.
They only need somebody to teach, j
them sanitation as someone has
-K t i I I'.-H.-ii ?
lUUKlll 1111* I! 1 IIIOUUI'I,
Millions of dollars worth of concessions
have been wrung from China
by the groat powers. They've done
nothing for her as yet, in return.
It's only the missionaries?a mere
handful of them?trying to wake
up four hundred milion people. The
missionaries and a few educated
Chi noses.
"How much is that little brass
spoon there?" I inquired of a Wuhu
merchant.
"One dollar," he replied blandly.
"Why, 1 wouldn't give you more
than two cents for that peice of junk,",
1 jo we red. <
"Allightee," the merchant come)
back with alacrity, 'you takee."
He stung me at that; Brass, onehalf
cent, labor practically nothing
certainly not more than another half
cent. Total one cent. Profit, 100 per
cent.
Wonder just how much method!
there is in the madness of the powers
in conspiring to keep John Chinaman
down. If he ever wakes up, wow! lie
is a born trader.
'Dig a hole in any old field in
China and two years later, there'll he1;
fish in it two feet long," an old,
Yangtze pilot told me. "Heaven only!
knows where they come from."
I proved the old man right today,
at Wuhu.
waiKim? along a road bordering a:
rice field, I saw two Chinese, theirl
pants rolled up to their thighs, waci-j
ing around in tlio knee-derp mud and i
water covering the patch. Kach had
ii bamboo basket with tlie bottom
c,ut. They repeatedly picked up I
and put down again in different
spots, feeling; around inside with
foot or hand. Now and then they
pulled out a good-sized fish which
they had hemmed up in the basket.
There arc two crops for you! Rice
and fish. ,
Close to this rice field 1 saw a native
preparing; a spring garden. lii
was about 35 feet in diameter. He
stood in the middle and urged an unwilling
cow. at the end of a rope, to I
walk round and round him in a circle
while his wife threw on buckets of
water.
Hours later when I again passed
the spot, the earth had been reduced
to a loblolly, the sow to a state of utter
dis(|uest, and the wife to something
approaching collapse. The gardner
sat to one side apparently greatly
pleased with the job.
Tractors will one day come to the
wife's and cow's rescue.
k Along a narrow path on top of a
I levee protecting the flat fields from
a Yangtze flood, moved a procession
: of Chinese wheelbarrows, each containing
a 500-pound bale of compresslad
American cotton. Kach barrow had
a man pushing it and, usually, n wo
11 ' * -?
man puning wun a rope. The wheel
i squeaked and creaked to high heaven.
"Why don't they grea*e those
things?" I demanded.
I "Because the noise drives the devils
j away/' I was told.
i Wuhu has a population of 135,000
and is a rice center. There is a small
cotton mill or two. It has been a
itreaty port since 1*77 and a number
'of Americans arid other foreigners
jlive there. There are several Chrisjtian
missions around Wuhu, which is
I quite a missionary center.
Also there are a number of temples
built hundreds of years ago, and a
ruined pagoda, six rounds' tall, with
bushes 15 feet high growing out of
the stones forming its pointer! top.
j Then there's the temple built to the
j drunken poet, La Tai-po, about 1200
J years ajro. Li was a sort of Omar
Khyam and loved not only his book
of verse, but his wine as well. He
was drunk so often and so long that
it was years before he sobered up
enough to be presented to the emperor
who admired him and wished to
meet him.
Finally ho reformed, met the emperor,
became prosperous, fell ofT
the w&gon again, or rather a boat,
j ar.d was drowned. * Crossing the
Yangtze oie beautiful night, he tried
to kiss the moon reflected in the
water.
