AN ENJOYABLE TRIP. (Continued from last week.) After leaving Gettysburg about 5 o'clock in the afternoon our party followed the route taken by Gen. Lee's army when return ing to Virginia and our first stop was at a small town, named Fair field, about eight miles south west of Gettysburg, where a halt of half an hour was made in or der to have a new spring put in the automobile. All around that place Lee's army had encamped, and many interesting tales were narrated to our party by some of the village loafers who stood around while the car was being repaired. One of them said he bad been for ten months in North Carolina, during the war, at New Bern and adjacent country as a XJnion soldier. He seemed -quite friendly and talkative as is the average village loafer) and was kind enough to say that he had more respect for a Confederate fcoHier than for some Union sol diers. After leaving Fairfield we went Hip the western side of the Blue llidge mountains and spent the night at lilue Ridge Summit, Where there is a fine hotel that is Quite a resort in the summer for persons from Washington, being situated on the top of the mountain at an elevation of 2. 000 feet, and from which there is a most magnificent view, sur passing that from the Battery Park Hotel at' Asheville. This resort is just on the dividing line between Pennsylvania and Mary land, and is the gap in the , moun tains through which Lee's army passed after leaving Gettysburg Our next objective point was the battlefield of Sharpsburg or Antietam (as it is called at the North), and in going there we passed through Waynsboro, Ha ger stown and other smaller towns. As our readers are aware, the battle of Sharpsburg was fought on the l?th of September, 1862, and was one of the bloodiest and mo3t hotly contested of any dur ing the war between the states. The United States government has improved this battlefield also, although not on so extensive or expensive a scale as Gettysburg. Macadamized roads have been constructed through the battle field and many monuments and markers have been erected which show and explain the different movements of the contending armies. The old brick Dunkard church still stands, around which there was most desperate fight ing, and the noted ''bloody lane" is plainly visible, where so many men were killed and wounded. A tablet marks the spot where Gen. L. O'B. Branch, of Raleigh, was killed. The battlefield is quite hilly and rolling (as is the surrounding country), and, like that of Gettysburg, is now cov ered with corn and wheat fields. Of especial interest was the stone bridge across Antietam creek, at Which there was such desperate fighting and over which Burn side's corps was driven by A. P. Hill's division sfter marching1 that day 22 miles from Harper's Ferry. ' j The battles of Gettysburg and Sharpsburg were the only two important engagements fought north of the Potomac by Gen. ' Lee.and both were 'Mrawn" bat tles, for at each the Confederate army remained in their position for a day . and night, before re tiring; and the Union army was so weakened that its commander wag not willing to resume the kattfe ana allowed the Confeder ate army to retam to Virginia without serious opposition. It is quite significant that the United States government has expended so much money in improving the battlefields at Gettysburg and Sharpsburg but has not so im proved or marked the battlefields of Manassas, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville and other places where the Confederates so disas trously def oated the Union army. Leaving Sharpsburg in the af ternoon of our second day's jour ney our party proceeded through Hagerstown to the Potomac river at Williamsport. where Lee's armv forded that stream on its retreat from Gettysburg. A long bridge now spans the river and as we rode over it we could but think of our soldiers when thev waded the river up to their necks and scrambled out on the Virgin ia hank, t From Williamsport we started up the valley of the She nandoah through Winchester to Strasburg, where we spent the night. We say "up the valley," although going south, because the Shenandoah! river runs north and is one of the few rivers i n the world that does run north like the Nile in Egypt Most persons would naturally say "down the valley" in going south from the Potomac, but as above stated, it is up the valley because of the river running north. A smooth turnpike runs all the way and renders travelling very com fortable, although the tolls make it rather expensive. The coun try between Williamsport and Winchester is undulating, but no mountain scenery of special in terest, although it is & fertile farming section. From Winches ter to Strasburg (eighteen milas distant) the scenery is beautiful and mountain ranges are in sight on both sides. AH that section suffered great ly during the war, having been occupied alternately by both the Union and Confederate armies and i3 of much historic interest. It was there that Jackson, in 1862, chased and defeated sever al Union armies under Banks, Shields and Milroy, and it was there that Early, in 1864, chased Hunter from Lynchburg to the Potomac and marched across that river to within sight of the dome of the capitol at Washington. It was that section also that Sher idan laid waste and brutally boasted that he had destroyed so much property that a "crow fly ing over the country would have to carry its rations." Time, how ever, has healed the wounds of war andthat section is now one of the most productive in the South. Near Strasburg was fought the battle of Cedar Creek (two miles distant) on the 19th of Octcber, 1864, which at the first was a brilliant Confederate victory, but re-enforcements with Sheridan having arrived our victory was turned into a most disastrous defeat. Another defeat was suffered by the Con federates under Early a mile South of Strasburg at Fisher's Hill. In the suburbs of the town there is still seen the remains of an earthwork erected on a high hill by Gen. Banks, of the Union army, but from which he was easily driven by Stonewall Jack son in May, 1862. Near Stras burg a grand reunion of Confed erate veterans is held on the first Saturday in August and We much regretted not being able to ac cept an invitation to remain and attend it last Saturday. After leaving Strasburg we proceeded up the valley a few miles to New Market and visited the battlefield, where on the 15th of May, 1864. the young cadets of the Virginia Military Institute so distinguished themselves in aiding in the defeat of the Union army. On the 15th of last May there was quite a celebration in honor of the semi-centennial anni versary of that notable event, and some of the survivors of the battle together with the present a botfc e of ' Sloan's Liniment. it is c , , T . antiseptic and a few drops will neu- corpsot cadets at the Institute tralize the infection caused by insect made a charge. over the same')t?s or.rusty nails.

TaIE war in Europe is the all absorbing object of interest now throughout the civilized world and is the chief' topic of conver sation and all the newspapers are filled with exciting accounts of it. Both, by sea and land and even in the air is there desper ate fighting-. For the first time m any war airships are used for fighting, ami aerial battles are becoming quite common. Fight ing on land is bad enough, fight ing on water is worse, but fight ing the air is the most danger ous of all. Thus far the peaceable Bel gians seem to have become the best fighters and their resistance at Liege to the advance of the Germans is one of the most bril liant feats of any army in any war. And, by the way, public opinion everywhere seems to be against Germany, and that coun try (or rather its emperor) is held chiefly responsible for this war, and it is very generally hoped that his arrogance will be fully punished. Mexico does not now attract much attention, since the war in Europe began, and yet that un happy country is not yet at peace, and the contending fac tions are still fighting. The con stitutionalists seem not to be willing to stop shedding blood and may yet capture the city of Mexico by force and butcher many of its inhabitants. The sympathy of the civilized world, and not merely of the United States, is extended to President Wilson in his sad be reavement, his wife having died last week. Oppressed as he has been with the many difficulties and cares of his high office it would seem that his life has in deed fallen on hard lines, and yet he occupies the highest and most honorable position to which any man in this country can aspire. Most forcibly does this illustrate the fact that riches and office do not alway bring happiness. Cengress Still in Session. Washington, Aug.9. Although administration leaders in Con gress believe the regular business of the session can be completed soon after September 1, some of them fear possible emergencies that may arise through the war in hurope will make it impera tive that Congress may remain in Washington. Talk about the capital indicates, however, that if developments of the next few weeks indicate no trouble in pros pect for the United States the signal may be given to wind up the legislative program and ad journ for the fall campaign. Several senators today pointed to the fact that great alarm would have been aroused had not congress been in session when the European nations clashed. With banks demanding emergen cy currency legislation, congress would have been called in extra session. The passing of the emergency currency amendment and the progress already made toward emergency shipping leg islation, senators declared, have done much to allay fears. The senate plans to pass the latter bill Tuesday. The Clayton anti-trust bill to supplement the Sherman law then will be taken up. Senate andjiouse conferees meanwhile will endeavor to agree on the federal trade commission bill. The foreign relations commit tee is undertaking to comply with tne urgent request of the presi dent that the new peace treaties with twenty foreign nations be ratified. Huckleberry Honey. From the Moore County News. Did you ever eat any huckle berry honev? If not, then you have missed a touch of high life. Over near Eagle Springs Mr. An gus Britt keeps 50 or 75 hives of bees and along about this time he robs the gums of the sour wood honey and lets the bees fill them up again with the honey that they make from the huckle berriesor hog berries that are now getting ripe and will hang on the bushes until September. The wild lands in the sand hills are literally covered with these berries and every year solid train loads of them go to waste. This huckleberry honey is royal pur ple and is food fit only for royal ty and the pure in heart. r Infection and Insect Bite Dangerous. flies and other Insects.

We copy from the Army and Navy Journal the following clear explanation of the . causes of the war in Europe:": . ;. "The different staes itt the devektpnserit of a state of war among- the European Powers are not dtSSeidt to trace. Property to understand the causes of the general ecahroHment , a knowl edge of the ai&sacea involved is necessary. Germany, Austria Hungary and Italy made up the Triple Alliance. Russia, France and Great 'Britain comprise" the Triple Entente. Naturally a blow at any single member of either of these alliances was likely to be taken as Aa blow to all. Hostili ties between Austro-Hungary and Servia had scarcely begun when the German government notified Russia that it had learn ed that the mobilization of the Czar's army had been ordered and that the mobilization orders must be called off. The German Emperor asserted that in the ex isting condition of affairs such mobilization could mean only that Russia intended to attack Aus tria, the ally of, Germany. The several demands of Germany cul minated in an ultimatum which was ignored by Russia. Germany at the same time sent a diplomat ic inquiry to France denfanding to know what would be the atti tude of that Republic in the event of Germany and Russia going to war. On the neglect of the Czar to reply satisfactorily to the Ger man ultimatum war was declared by the Kaiser against Russia.and a certain time was given to France to declare her position. The time elapsing without a satisfactory statement from France, Germany declared war against France. 'In an effort to strike France from the northeast Germany in vaded the grand duchy of Lux emburg and also sent troops into Belgium. In each case the Ger man government protested that it had no designs upon territory and desired only a means of transporting troops to the fron tier of France. Both these coun tries protested to Europe against the German invasion, and the King of Belgium made a direct appeal to King George of Great Britain. Thereupon England ask ed Germany for an explanation. The German government reiter ated that it had no designs upon either country, but this answer was deemed evasive. The Brit ish government thereupon de manded assurances from Ger many that the neutrality of Bel gium would be respected. Ger many's action was the summary rejection of this proposal. Upon this the British Ambassador at Berlin received his passports, and the British government on Aug. 4 notified Germany that a state of war existed between the two countries. Belgium at once pro ceeded to the defense of. its ter ritory and announced a state of war. Thus on Aug. 4 Germany found herself at war with Russia, France, Great Britain and Bel gium, all on account of espous ing the cause of Austria in her movement against Servia. Italy declared her neutrality, and thus the famous Dreibund, of whose solidity Bismarck had more than once expressed fears, went to pieces, and Austria and Germany were left alone to fight the mighty nations arrayed against them. . "Each nation, is already trying to blame the others for bringing on this gigantic conflict, the greatest in the history of the world. Germany in an official White Book seeks to lay the onus upon Russia for having menaced Austria and upon France for hav ing threatened Germany when the latter demanded explanations of Russia. The Kaiser insists that if Russia had left Austria alone he would not have inter fered. Germany also points to the massing of French troops on the Belgium frontier, and main tains that it was only a question which country would invade that kingdom's neutrality first. In the British government's ex pressed intention in the House of Commons prior to the'invasion of Belgium, England's, prospective action was limited to a naval de fense of the French coast and French shipping from German attack, but when Germany's forces entered Belgium, whose neutrality for several genei a tions England had insisted upon, the attitude of the British people and , the Brithish government seemed to change at once into an unequivocal support of Russia and France along the whole line, whether on land or sea. Thus the violation of the neutrality of little Belgium threw into the scale against Germany the vast sea power of the British Empire. France and Russia proclaim their innocence, of any intention of bringing on the war, and point to Germany's demands and mob ilization as provocative of the breach between them." .

In July, 1870, France and Prus sia went to war. The general i fighting in that war lasted bare-j ly a month. Of course, the siege of Paris and other maneuvers ! r-Ck rrrn nr wiY Im-m ' Vv.4- 4-1 n i actual clash in the field began early in August and ended early in September. The Russo-Turkish war, six years afterward, was longer by a year or more, but the Turco Greek war in the nineties was a matter of one swift campaign. The Russo-Jap war was also com paratively brief. In our own history here is, roughly, the duration of the im portant wars: , Revolutionary war, eight years; war of 1812, two years and eight months; Mexican war,' two years and 11 weeks, civil war; four years; Spanish war, seven and a half months (with the bulk of the fighting done in two and a half). Ail but one of the foregoing were duels between two nations. The last ereneral EuroDean war was the Crimean, when Eng land, France, Turkey and Sar dinia combined against Russia. from 1854 to 185G. That war continued for about two years, and resulted in a sound thrash ing for Russia. Before that the Napoleonic wars intermittently brought every nation in Europe to the battlefield. These wars contin ued, with breaks of longer short duration, for more than 20 years. and ended at Waterloo, when the kngush, the Prussians, the Dutch and other allies overthrew Napo leon. Russia and England, by the way, were Germany's staunchest friends then. Nearly two centuries before that a German quarrel spread un til it involved almost every na tion on earth, and is known to history as the "30 years' war." So, with a few exceptions, we see that the more modern the war the shorter it is apt to be, especially when only central Eu rope is involved. For example (in actual fighting) : Austro Prussian war of 1866, 7 weeks; Franco-Prussian war of 1870, a moath; the present war ?
