A Tar Heel Tale of Refugees and a Hidden Fortune
In Jamestown North Carolina a rumor of a vast vault stored Confederate bonds and currency in a faded bank safe. During Stoneman’s raids the refugees stored wealth there and the old safe remained sealed until ex convicts and investors forced entry. They recovered about 3 million in bonds and currency, then surrendered the money to a Raleigh orphan asylum, with the treated beneficiary a North Carolina girl. The tale blends Civil War memory, crime, and a modern twist of fortune.

French scientist links mental labor to tooth decay
A San Francisco Chronicle report notes a French scientist proposing that excessive mental labor uses phosphates needed for tooth nourishment, causing decay. The theory suggests that workers and public officials, as well as the general public, should have perfect teeth if phosphate use were balanced.
