AN INVESTIGATION.
A commission has been appoint
ed by the Governor to investigate
the shooting by the sold ere here
on Monday night of last. week.
Judg6 H. W. of Gteen
ville, Adjutant General B. S.
Royster of Oxford aud Col. A. 11.
Boyden of Salisbury are unnied
on the commission and the hear
ing wyi begin at Durham next
Monday.
Governor Bickett has made the
request that no attorneys be em
ployed in the matter, as two of
the commissioners are lawyers.
Whether lawyers are employed
or not, a complete-stenographic
report of the evidence should be
made.
The admirer of Senator Hard
ing, thinking to help his hero, no
doubt mentioned with some pleas
ure that Gov. Cox was a divorced
man, forgetting or not knowing,
perhaps, that the Senator's wife
is a divorced woman. Both Mrs.
Harding and Gov. Cox, doubtless,
had the very best of grounds for
their action.
Governor James M. Cox, Demo
eratic nominee for President, will
be officially notified of his nomi
nation on August 7th at Dayton,
Ohio. Great preparations are be
ing made for the event which will
make it a notable day. The Gov
ernor is diligently working on his
speech of acceptance.
The suffragists have opened
headquarters in Raleigh, as have

A collection of historic coaches,
some lent by the government and
others by private persons, is to be
exhibited at Olympia, London, dur
ing the international horse show,
the continental edition of the Lon
don Mail states. Among the fa

sively for carrying eloping couples
over the border on the way to
Oretna Green.
Other exhibits will be the duke
of Wellington's post chifte, in which
he traveled' while conducting the
peninsular war and the Waterloo

original "Deadwood Dick" coach,
drawn by six mules.
The only early Victorian tandem
in existence will also be shown, as
well as the original brougham de
signed by Lord Brougham, if it be
found possible to move it.
STEAMER BUILT ON 'PRAIRIE
Vssosl Now Navigating Mississippi
River Had Its Beginning Far
From the Water.
Nothing extraordinary is to be
noted in the appearance of the new
9,000-ton steamer New Orleans,
now afloat on the Mississippi river,
but the sight it offered in its early
construction period was remarkable
indeed. It was built, as a matter
of fact, on a site thft was a prairie
when work was started, with not
enough water at hand to float a
rowboat. Three months latet how
ever, dredging operations began for
the canal connecting the city of
New Orleans with Lake Pontchar
train, and by the time the vessel
was ready to launch, there was an
adequate depth of water right along
side of it. Qnly the end of the
canal toward the lake was open,
however, and to get the new craft
to its city dock, only five miles
away, it was necessary to lighten it
to a 7-ft. draft, tow it through the
lake into the Gulf of Mexico, and
send it up the river to New Or
leans, a distance of 107 miles.
Work is still progressing on the
canal, which is about six miles long.
—Popular Mechanics Magazine.
COOTS' FLOATING NEST.
The coots have built their nests
again on the big millpond, and in
one we counted seven large, speckled,
buff eggs. The nest was an an
chored raft, based on a patch of the
greasy elliptical leaves of the pond
weed that float on the surface.
Dead reeds and other aquatic rub
bish were woven with these and piled
up until there was a little floating
island, sufficient to bear the weight
of the coot and her eggs.
The whole business of building
has been quite public, and now the
nest and its contents are quite obvi
ous to any observer passing that way.
Boon there will be seven little balls
of black down around the nest, o>'
aPtivelv following mother coot across
the broad water.—london Chronicle.
BIGGEST CIRCULAR SAWS
The largest circular saws in the
world have just been made to fill
a special order from a Pacific coast
lumber mill. Each saw is 108 inches
in diameter, weighs approximately
795 pounds, and includes 190 teeth.
The latter are inserted in the rim,
and can be replkced if broken. Two
steel ingots, etch weighing 1,140
pounds, wen the raw material from
which the great disks were made.
The saws will be used for cutting big
logs into lengths suitable for the
production of shingles.

UPSET BELIEFS LONG HELD
FoeaJle Found by American Scientist
Reveal Truth of Earth's Firs*
Forms Of Life.
The first forms of life appeared
on this iarth 45,140,000 years ago,
according to Dr. Charles D. Wal
cott of the Smithsonian institution,
who has just discovered several thou
sand fossils that contradict all
previous deductions.
The find was made in the Burgess
pass fossil quarry, discovered in
1910 in the Canadian Rockies, about
3,000 feet above Field, B. C.
Prof. Walcott has taken annual
parties into this district, blasting
fossils out of what is known as the
Cambrian recks. When the large
slabs / were blasted loose they wertf
split with chisel and hammer, and
fossils of animals were exposed that
were, in life, softer than the jelly
fish.
The shale bed suggests that the
waters of the ancient Cambrian sea
swarmed with life, just as the ocean
does today at Santa Catalina island.
But this was long before the advent
of fish on earth, and no trace of
fish is found among the fossils.
The find upsets the theory that in
the Proterozoic age only one-celled
Amebe, etc., existed on the earth. In
stead of only unicellular animals
there were actual swimming and
crawling water forms of animals al
ready dominant.
Prof. Walcott estimates that fos
sils pf these animals were engulfed
about 27,640,000 years ago. He
adds to this figure 17,500,000 years
during which these and other crea
tions were evolving from each other
in the pre-Pabozolic period.
QUEEN LAUOB Y. W. C. A.
A cable recently received at Y.
W. C. A. heqfjquarters, New York
city, and sent from Bucharest, Bou
niania, expresses from Queen Marie
her desire that the work begun by
the Y. W. O. A. in her country be
continued. The queen deeply ap
preciates efforts already made in
helping her to rebuild her country
and is firmly convinced that the
Y. W. C. A. is of paramount im
portance to her people.
EVER NOTICED THIS.

TAUGHT NEW SINGING METHOD
Ouldo Aretinus, Bonedictine Monk,
Is Credited With the Invention
of "Do, R«, Mi."
What is the origin of these oi
lables—Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La and
Si, as names for the seven notes of
the scale?
The tale which one meets in his
tories of music goes hack to Guido
d'Arezzo or Guido Aretinus, a Bene
dictine monk of Pomposa, not far
from Perrara and Ravenna. His
period was in the first half of the
eleventh century, and a great many
inventions and improvements were
ascribed to him. As a monk of the
Pomposa monastery, compelled by
the imperfection of the existing
teaching of music, be was credited
with the production of a method
which, according to him, gave im
mediate results in singing which for
merly could scarcely be attained in
ten years. The practical merit of
this method awakeneg the jealfasy
of thev abbot and his brother monks,
so that he had to leave the cloister.
He.was called by the pope of that
time, John XIX or XX, to Rome to
explain his method. His journey
was a complete success. In the first
lesson the pope was able to find the
tone of an antiphon and to siijg it.
There is a portrait of Guido in the
refectory of the monastery at Avel
lana bearing "Beatus Guido inventor
musicae" as an inscription. His sys
tem, which was called solmisation,
consisted, in part, of the use of six
syllables, TJt, re, nii, "fa, sol, la.—
From John o' London's Weekly.
THE HOUSE
"He offers us the house for
$5,000."
"Not a bad buy. No profiteering
there."
"You don't understand. He offerj
to rent it to us for $5,000 a year."
ACID FATAL TO" TIRES. "•
The rapidity with which auto
mobile tires are destroyed by acid
was demonstrated recently in a
Canadian city, when a large carboy
fell from a truck and was broken.
TJie strong acid flowed along the
street-car tracks for a considerablt
distance, while a half-suffocated of
ficer strove to divert traffic to aafei
thoroughfares. One driver, how
ever, declfffed to change his course.
Before he could cross the acidulated
patch, his tires had exploded almost
in unison. The fumes were finally
stifled with -sand.—Popular Me
chanics Magazine.
FILMS QUICKLY HANDLED.
Siztv rolls of photographic film
handled in ten minutes' actual work
ing time is the claim made for a sys
tem of glazed stoneware developing
tanks now on the market, according
to Popular Mechanics Magazine.
The tanks are sold in sets of three;
one for developing, one for fixing
and one for washing. Each has a
concave bottom, terminating in a
brass drain cock. The last or wash
ing tank is fitted also with an over
flow connection to permit continuous j
water circulation from bottom to
top.
NEW ÜBE FOR X-RAY.
Among the new uses of X-ray*
foreshadowed by Major Q. W. C.
Kaye in a lecture at the Royal insti
tution were the taking of finger
prints, in connection with criminal
investigation, and the testing of
ohampionahy golf balls in order to
determine that they had a perfectly
lymmetrical center.
