There may be a little too | much love of luxury, a little too much I desire for praise; but there is acer- I tain tenacity of purpose that gener ally overcomes difficulties. If the ambitions are disappointed, it some times breeds a recluse, but not espe cially a disgruntled one. 30 Years Ago Today—San Francis co was destroyed by fire started when an earthquake burst gas mains and destroyed waper pipes, with a toll of 500 dead, $500,000,000 property loss. It is called the San Francisco earth quake, though the shock itself was more serious in other towns in the 175,000 square mile area it disturbed and the same earth disturbance made a ruin of the island of Formosa, on the other side of the Pacific, with a far greater loss of life.

On the same evidence, a few years later, she was determined to be a saint. April 18, 1775—British authorities forbade travel in Boston after dark, and in the dark Appolos de Rivoire, known as Paul Revere, and William Dawes crossed the river and rode off .toward Lexington and Concord to warn the minutemen of the coming of a British force to seize the arms which Tories had told the British were stored there, and arrest John Hancock and Samuel Adams. Contrary to what Longwellow’s fa mous poem says, Rivoire never reach ed Concord. He was captured on the way, and it was left for Dawes and Mr. Samuel Prescott, who had join ed them enroute, to rouse the home guards. When Rivoire, or Revere, presented a bill to the Colony for “expenses for self and horse for riding for the com mittee of Safety,” it was rejected as exhorbitant. It was for $5. 75 Years Ago Today—The federal arsenal at Harper’s Ferry, which John Brown had been executed for seizing was evacuated, burned by fed eral forces to prevent it from falling into the hands of the Confederacy, which Virginia had joined the pre vious day. Same day, President Abraham Lin coln offered the command of the Union armies to the colonel who had captured John Brown. But though Robert E. Lee was opposed to both slavery and secession, he refused. SUNDAY IS THE DAY First Sunday after Easter, April 19 Patriots’ Day in Massachusetts and Maine. New moon: Tuesday. Zodiac sign: Taurus. SUNDAY’S YESTERDAYS April 19, 1739—Dr. Nicholas Saund erson died at Cambridge, England, after one of the most remarkable of careers.

John Pitcairn, 35, gave the order that was the death knell of his king’s rule in the 13 Col onies. When 70 men drawn up in bat tle line in the town square at Lexing ton, Mass., refused to obey his ord ers to disperse, he gave the order to his 800 men to fire. The British rifles felled eight Massachusetts men and lighted the fires of revolution. Curiously, April 19, is also the date of the first blood shed in the War Between the States, of the first con flict between U. S. and German forces in the World War! April 19 is our most bellicose day. April 19, 1903—A native woman at Accra, Gold Coast, West Africa, gave birth to living sextuplets! This is What Do You Know About North Carolina? By FRED H. MAY 1.

He made muskets and bayonets for the Continental Army. North Carolina sent him to Continental Congress and then to the first congress as representative. From 1795 to 1801 he was in the U. S.

Before moving to Texas in 1936 he had served three terms as congressman and two terms in the State senate. He became Secretary of State shortly after mov ing to Texas and held that office for two years. The Republic sent him to Washington in 1836 to intercede for recognition of the new republic. 5. At a meeting of the purchasers of the Kentucky territory held in Oxford September 25, 1775, it was agreed to give Daniel Boone 2000 acres. The company also gave him a vote of thanks for his services. 6. The legislature in 1859 failed to make definite provision for a railroad to .be built to the French Broad river. The citizens of Buncombe wanted the eastern route from a standpoint of state pride and severely criticized the legislature. The county then voted bonds to aid in building the railroad from Greenville, 3. C. HENDERSON, (N. C.)

FIRST WORLD WAR DAY-BY-DAY April 18-19, 1916 —To save fuel, French parliament passed a bill plac ing France on daylight saving time, the first country to adopt it. But it was only a footnote to the day’s headlines. The United States sent a note to Berlin, the sharpest of all those indicted by Woodrow Wil son since he entered the White House, threatening to break off diplomatic relations if Germany did not abandon its policy of unrestricted submarine warfare. Next day President Wilson person ally addressed Congress and under scored his warning.

The Bulldogs entertain Norlina at League Park Tuesday, Roxboro, Thursday and will go to Warrenton Friday. Coach Tom Fallwell’s pitching choices for the game will likely be Ayscue against Norlina, Inscoe against Roxboro and Owen, a new comer, against Warrenton. Owen will be working his first game for the locals, and advance dope on the lad shows that he has a fast ball that will be hard to hit. The team seems to be rounding into shape rapidly, and should go a long way toward copping several victories during the season. Mayor Watkins Is Made a Member of ‘Not Over 50’ Club With praise for its aggressive plan to make motorists “speedometer con scious” Mayor Irvine B. Watkins has joined the “Not Over Fifty” Club, sponsored by W, C. Cates in Hender son. “Every man in public office has been appalled by the toll taken by speeding automobiles. I can have only the highest enthusiasm for this new movement which should really act to cut down accidents. I am sure that the red safety arrow will be a con stant reminder to watch speed. I am placing the arrow on my car at once.” The club, organized by the Lum bermen’s Mutual Casualty Company, one of the largest automobile insur ance companies, has but one purpose: to make driving safer. It has no dues or burdensome obligations beyond the pledge to drive carefully. A red arrow is placed upon the speedometer of all members’ cars serving as an effective check when the needle moves into dangerous speed zones. Fifty is the maximum speed on the open highways while lower speeds are to be observed in towns and cities. • Members also re ceive a card outlining a common sense driving creed. McDonald Is Sure East Is “In the Bag” (Continued from Page Onel his triumphal campaign into the Pied mont and west, where we are expect ing to get just as good a response as we have had in the east.” Others Encouraged. The supporters of the other candid ates are greatly encouraged, however, and are convinced that Clyde R. Hoey and A. H. (Sandy) Graham have made even more progress than McDonald has in the eastern counties this past week. They are not discounting the fact that at the present time Dr. Mc- Donald is undouhtly in the lead in a good many of these counties. But they are convinced that both Hoey and Graham have made some very definite gains not only throughout all the east ern counties, but in the Piedmont and west as well. They conceded that for the time being Dr. McDonald is mak ing the biggest popular appeal to the masses and seems to have a larger and more enthusiastic following than either Hoey or Graham, But they are confident that the intensive organiza tion work which iboth the Hoey and Graham forces have been doing for the past ten days is beginning to take effect and that both of these candi dates are now forging, ahead. Graham Making Gains. Most of the reports reaching here the last few days are that Graham has been making more gains this past week than Hoey, although most obser vers still regard Graham as being in third place and hence having farther to go than either McDonald or Hoey. One of the reasons for the reported gains by Graham—and probably the principal reason—is that his manag ers and supporters have ibeen bearing down on the argument that he is the only candidate who can defeat Mc- Donald in a second primary, thus tacitly admitting that McDonald is now in the lead and likely to stay there. They maintain that if Graham is eliminated and the second primary should be between Hoey and McDon ald, that McDonald would undoubted ly win since a larger number of the Graham backers would vote for Me- PUBLIC AUCTION I To The Highest $215 SUPERFEX Buperfex Oil Burning Refrigeratoi H. B. NEWMAN Distributor Superfex Oil Burning Refrigerators Donald than Hoey. But if the run-off should be between Graham and Mc- Donald, Graham would win, since 90 per cent of the Hoey supporters would vote for Graham rather than McDon ald, it is contended. A second reason for the gains Graham is reported to have made this week is the entensive organization work his manager, Lou Folger, has been doing. Folger an nounced here today that managers had been selected and organizations completed in Forsyth, Iredell, Rowan, Mecklenburg, and several other Pied mont counties and that “things are looking better than ever for Graham.” Hoey Forces Waking Up. The Hoey managers are likewise convinced that their candidate has made some very definite and worth while gains this past week, despite the fact that he was not able to make as many speeches as he had planned. But the lack of speech-making has been more than off-set by the quiet but determined organization work Campaign Manager Hubert Olive and his assistants have been doing. It is now generally admitted in informed circles that the Hoey forces several weeks ago were too confident and not doing very much active work. But within the past two weeks, especially the last week, Campaign Manager Olive and the Hoey forces generally have waked up to the fact that Me Donald was out in front and gaining rapidly and that if they did not get busy it would be just too tad. Now chat they have at last waked up and gotten a bit scared, it is generally agreed that the Hoey backers are working harder and accomplishing .nore than heretofore. Olive said to day he was well pleased with the pro gress made this week. Most observers still agree that the race is still very tight and that it is impossible to predict anything at this time. B. H.
