Richmond Prepares to Entertain Yeterans. -- ?av ? ? Gate* of City to be Thrown Wide Open?Some el Leader* Already en Scene. Richmond, Va.?Extensive pre parations sre being made for tiie entertainment of the old 'soldiers, when the reunion of the Confeder ate Veterans takes place in this city the first week in June. Notb* ing will be left undone to make the former filters comfortable and the yates of the city will be thrown wide open in its profered hospitality. Richmond is also assuming the spirit of celebration and the merchants and citizens have begun the decoration of their business houses and homes, and before the end of the week the streets of the old capital of the Confederacy will be bedecked wi^|i bunting and flags and streamers showing the Con federate colors mingled with the national stars and stripes. Showing the spirit of 61-65 sbtne of the old veterans will march to Richmond, and already one lone soldier from far away Tennessee has arrived in the city, having made the journey of more than 600 miles on foot. The old.ayn started May 1, allowing himself thirty days in which to make the trip, but his enthusiasm was so great that he arrived ten days ahead of his schedule. The old fellow is past seventy years of age, but ap pear!) hale and hearty. Another pedestrain from Georgia is enroute to Richmond. He passed Greens boro several days ago, and it is ex pected that he will be in this city in the next few days. Some of the veterans have al- 1 ready arrived and these with the regulars who live in Richmond, and are inmates of the Soldiers' Home here are daily fighting over the battles of the valley of Virginia and recalling the heroic deeds of Lee, Jackson and the others who made themselves snd the State 1 famous fifty years ago. While tbe reuion is scheduled for June I, 2, 3 the last day will be the big day pf the meeting, as ' the great parade is fixed for Thurs 1 day. Every old soldier who at- ! tends the reunion will be in the 1 parade, as those who can not walk will be provided with a convey ance of some kind- Tbe inherent pride and pluck of the old soldiers naturally make them want to join in the ranks, and it is safe to say as long as tliey can move a foot they will be in step with tbe line of march. - ' ' Along tbe entire route of tbe parade refreshment stands will be ' arranged where tbe old veterans can be given lemonade, ice tea and ice water. It is expected that tbe parade in many respects will be more spectacular than any similar event in connection with these reunions Virginian Pilot. Cot Tobacco Acreage. Fanners of Edfecombe and Nash Will Plant Peanuts and Cotton. Rocky Mount, May 20?Tobac co acreage i n Edgecombe and Nash counties is going to be cut tbis year and that despite the fact that the weed proved the "salvation" crop in this section last year when cotton could hardly be sold at any. price. It is not known whether this curtailment is diWctly due to the foresight of the formers who have learned from reliable sources that there is air^ sdt 'too large amount of last year's crop un marketed or to adverse weather conditions duribg the early spring when tobacco plants could not be easily grown. It is belieyed that both of these matters figure large ly in the curtailment according to those close to the pluse of the to bacco farmers. The shortage of tobacco plants in all parts of the two oountieshas caused many farmers to plant cot ton or peanuts instead. ~ Tbe Bcatilul leherriD. ?** Governor Cruig made the liter ary address at Coowan College last wpek and it is needless to say that it was s if..ud one. The Raleigh Times reporter called to see the governor on his return and the following mention appeared in bis paper. "Governor Craig returned from Murfre^sboro, where Tuesday be delivered the address before Chow an College, next to the oldest woman's college in the state, Salem holding the record. He was delighted with the hospitality and enthusiasm of tlii people of the community, impressed with the fine o!d school and its magnificent campus and gratified at the large i crowd present. He said the cam- , pus was laid off before the war by a landscape gardener and rivalled that of the university in beauty. The governor made the trip to Murfressboro a part of the tistance by boat, going down the Meherriu nver, which was lined with ivy in full bloom on both banks. The scenery, the governor said, said 1 Was as beautiful as that of the Swannonoa." And Nov Ttie Snaie. Farmers Are aduised To Raise Them i As Pest Destroyers. I At last the snake is coming into his own. The question has been asked oy every thinking man < and woman from the time of the I Eden episode, why was the snake | created? What is he good for anywa.v? Sage and philosophers j have tried to argue that nothing | was created in vain, and that < even the most pestiferous insect ^ and venomous reptile had some 1 mission to perform?some distinct place in the economy of {iature. But none of them could tell us what that place or mission was. But in the light of this progres- i sive Twentieth century of fly less , towns and submarines, even this great secret has been revealed. The snake has a mission. The Farm Extension Work de partment of North Carolina is now advocating the raising of snakes, as the easiest and most practical method of getting rid of rats and destructive insects which destroy the crops and cause the farmer so much trouble and anxiety.?Every thing. Start Nov. Form a clean-up brigade. Make the children members and get tliern to report all places where rubbish or trash are permitted to accumu late, and when reported take up the matter of removal with the i.wner or tenant of the property where such conditions exist; in this way great good can be ac complished and you can take more pride in your 9ity or town. Good stone work and well-kept lawns suggest neatness and cleanliness throughout a structure, but in vestigation might reveal the ex istence of accumulation of rubbish or trash that might be the means of creating a disastrous fire. These conditions exist in churches, stores, schools, and iD many other build ings, and is the result of careless ness and an invitation to the evil disposed or children who are prone to start fires, when they find au opportunity, such as a rubbish pile presents.

Driven off by Italian Destroyer* and Aerial Craft After a Brief Bombard ment, Official Statement leaned at Rome Saye?Araenal aad Railway Line Were Principal Targets for the Enemy? Dirigible Takes Part in Battle in the Air. . _ < Paris, May 24?2:30 p. m.?Austrian warship* have attacked the < eastern coat of Italy. An official communication from the Iialian war < office, transmitted to Paris by the Havaa Agency, says the Austrian ' fleet was forced to withdraw aftei a short cannonade. The statement follows* "It was foreseen that od the declaration of war offensure actions would occur against our Adriatic coast, with the purpose of seeking' moral effect rather than attaining a military purpose. But we were ' able to prepare for these and render their duration short. "Small naval units from the navy, especially destroyers and torpedo ; boats, fired their guns upon our Adriatic coast on May 24, between 4 j and 0 o'clock in the morning. At the same time aeroplanes attempted j to attack the arsenal at Venice. Dirigible Attacks Aeroplanes. j "The enemy's ships, after a very short cannonade, were forced by ] uur torpedo boats to withdraw. The enemy's aeroplanes were fired j upon by our anti-aircraft artillery and attacked by our aeroplanes and j by a dirigible flying over tbe Adriatic. "The aeroplanes attacked Porto Corsini,,which replied immediately ; ind obliged the enemy to quickly retire. At Ancona. where the at tack was directed especially against the railway line, in the intention jf interrupting communication, slight damage was inflicted, which can be repaired easily. Destroyers Drives oft "At Barletta an attack was made by a scout steamer and destroyers, which were put to flight by one of our ships, which was escorted by toriiedo boats. Finally -at Oesi ?the enemy's aeroplane attempted to I)row bombs upon the hanger but without reaching the mark. "All other news of operations last nignt has no foundation." It is apparent from this despatch that the Austrian aviators have , nvept virtually the entire eastern coast of Italy. From Venice, at the lead of the Adriatic, they have made their way as far south as 1 iar elta, a distance of three hundred*wnd fiftj^ miles, Porto,Corsini is about sixty eiglit miles south of Venice. Ancona s one hundred and eighty five miles northeast of Rome and about one i u lid red and forty miles south of Venice.?Ledger-Dispatch. steamer Line Norfolk to Tbe Mediterranean. The Norfolk Chamber of Com nercain co-operation with Capt. T. L). Leitch and various Norfolk ail way lines has for several da.yq tow been working for the eateb iihiiient of u steamer line from Norfolk to the Mediterranean -and mve complied a considerable imount of data to be used in this connection. They have been legotiating with a prominent branch shipping corporation vhich now hss several lines in iperation but nune*from Norfolk 0 the Mediterranean and they lave indicated a willingness to itart Such a line if they could be issured of sufficient business to ustify them doing so. The ship line contemplatejl is to >e * combination freight and pas engtr service and it was thought hat Norfolk would afford a most luitable port for tbe American ter ninus of such a shipping concern. Norfolk provides tbe most conven enb outlet to tbe Mediterranean or practically all of the territory couth of New England and east of lie Mississippi and the rates from 1 grater part of the western/cities' ire less to this point than to any ithar Atlantic port. Consequent y it is felt that when tbe com nerce is adjusted after tbe present var is completed any line estab ished from here to Europe will le in a position to handle shipoing lasaenger service to a good ad vantage. Both Capt. Leitch and the chamber feel sure that this French ine is assured and that the linal irrangements for its operation will be settled within a few days, [f such should be the case a great jart of the credit for the new ihipping service will be due Capt.
