We "were then sent down the Ca-pee Fear liver between Sugar Loaf and Fi.it Fi-Ihtr to do picket duty. We remained there through the winter of 1864. We had no wiu ter quarters and had to lie behtodi the breastworks. I suffered more with ccld there than I did) with Lee and Jackson in Virginia during three winters.

The Yankees saw them coming aud gave way. I uot 12 bullet holes in my hat. The battle over we replaced the railroad irons which had been removed, and marched back to Weldun where we stayed for a few days. Next day when I scaled my roll there were thirteen who answered to their names. We went back to our old1 stand in the trenches below Wil mington and sdtw the bombardment and fall of Fort Fisher.

Last Monday at noon at the home ot her sister, in Raleigh. Miss Sue May Kirkland, lady (principal of the State Normal College since its establishment in 1892, died sudden ly. Although Miss Kirkland h&i been ia poor health for somenlme her death was not expected and it came as quite a shock to. her many friends, in the State. Two weeks before commencement she was obd''e ed to leave because of her health. The commencement of 1914 was the first she has missed since the open ing of the institution, her presence on such occasions being regarded as almost indespensible. For many years prior to her connection) with the Stite Normal Miss1 Kirkland was a member of the facuJty cf Peace Institute Ra-Ligh. There are quite a number of former Normal students in Randolph who will be sorry to hear of her death.

Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORI A New light is thrown on the Presi dent s purposes and motives, by an "authorized interview" with him, which appears in the Saturday Even ing Post. Here for the first time the Presi dent clearly sets forth his sympathy with "the submerged 85 per cent" of the people of Mexico who are now struggling towards freedom. These are the people represented by the in surgent leaders, Carranza, Villa, Zapa ta and others. In President Wilson's view the opposition to Huerta repre sents the efforts of an oppressed peo ple to gain liberty, while the Huerta government represents the forces of ancient oppression. It is true that these revolutions are supported by the so-called "lower classes" of the Mex ican population, while the Huerta gov ernment is supported by the old aris tocracy. But it is always so in strug gles for liberty. Those who profit by injustice are not the ones who move for reform. "I challenge vou." savs President Wilson, "to cite me an instances in ail i the historv of the world where liberty was handed down from above! Liberty always is attained by the forces work ing below." The President declares that the old order" in Mexico is dead, and that it is his part to help, as far as he can, in the establishment of a new order which shall be based upon human rights. From the printed report ot his conversation it appears that these things are settled in his mind. First, that so long as he is Presi dent the United States will not seek to gain a foot of Mexican territory. Second, no exploitation of Mexican resources bv American adventurers or capitalists will be permitted; but legi timate business win De encourageu in all proper ways. Thiro (and most lmrjorxanij me ettlement of Mexico's land question, by lawful means, will be insistea upon. The President suggests some such plan as that so successfully fol modified form of the "single tax." lowed in New Zealand.
