chosen this year, and had bulls a.
new 'ype of machine Especially for
the purpose of taking part la the In

A committee of the Aero Club of
America, however. Ignored him wlyjl*
It selected the American team to
! fend khe cup won by Curtlss. T
This committee appointed the
defenders and their substitutes

Defenders: Walter Br-oeMns, ft.
Armstrong Drexel and Charles

Substitutes; J. C- Mars. J. B. Mota

It was originally planned to h^d
elimination races and select tne Ame
rican defenders from among the
three fastest competitors. But there
was too much wind for the elmlnlna-,

ro Club committee decided to appoint'
the defenders. Then Curtlss was Ig-J

Our Attention
Washington, N. C.. Oct. St. 1910.
To the Editor:
Will you please call the attenUoa
of the Carolina Telephone and Tele
graph Company, operating a tele
phone exchange In this town, to the
following: On November S6. 1636
the town of .Washington granted a
franchise to the Southern Telu.-Me
Company to operate a telephone ??x
cahnge In the city of Washington.
Places of buslnees were to pay thirty
dollsrs per year and residences to pay
fifteen dollars per year, that was for
the first year, and It was stipulated
by said telephone company that tho
above mcntlonad charge would nevar
be raised, but If Other towns In this
state, the size of Washington vol low*
er rates than that which Washington
was paying, that Washington should
get the benefit of It.
On February 10, i.896, J. Havens,
mayor, and a committee appointed
by the Board of Town Commitu>lon
ers were ordered and empowered to
make contract, the same ?t> Novem
ber 26,, 1895 with any telephone
company which would eotaply with
the regulations stated that the charg
es for telephone< rent should never
bo Increased from fifteen dollars per
year-tor reafdeuco and thirty dollars
per year for places of business.
On April ?, 1896 the Washington
Telephone Company was released of
their bond, having sold their inter
est to the Thomas Telephone Com
pany, composed of gentlemen from
Tarboro, which I believe to be the
predecessor of the Carolina Tele-<
graph and Telephone Company,
now^ operating a telephone system
in this town and who arc now chars
lng twenty-tyur dollrrs per year for
telephones in residence In Wash
ington, Instead of fifteea dollars us
the original franchise stluplaten,
This matter Is worth looking into
as it will mean nine dollars i er year
to every householder linking a tele
phone in his residence.
Let the light be turned ?n.
Yours truly,
GEO. J. HTmDEltT.

The following vu build the Dally
N?wa by Captain J. M. Wallace a for
mer resident of this city. No doubt
It will prove interesting reading to
the people of this section:
ng netting op'Ooda earth
now.
And naught In the watera below It;
As the pledge of a nation that's dead
and gone, I
Keep It" dear friend, and ahow It.
...... 1
These llnee form the first stansa
of an elegy that was written * halt
oentury or more ago on the back of
a flventollar Confederate bill. There
are eight atanxaa In all. 7*1 they
cover a space not more than three
Inches square on the back of thla
old bill. Although the handwriting
Is eo diminutive that one cannot road
it r?adlly without the aid of a power
ful glass. It haa been executed so
well thsl each letter looks aa though
It had been engraved Instead of writ
ten by-the hand of one who must have
been overcome with emotion.
For upward of forty years the old
bill has been In the possession of
Qeorge P. fterrll! of the Brooklyn
Club. So long, ago did Mr. Merrill
acquire the bill that he does not re
member whence It came. The other
day he ahowed It to a number of fel
low members In the club. Inclutdng
George W. Chauncey. the president, {
and C. G- Balmanno. vice president
of the Mechanics Bank. It created;
both the Interest and curiosity of a|l j
who examined the bill. Mr. Bairoan-!
no, eapeclally. impreasod by the pa-i
thos of the elegy written upon It.
that he persuaded Mr. Merrill to part i
with It. and he now Intends to add]
it to his collection of curiosities.
The bill la of the Issue of 1S64
and bears the signatures of H. E.
Wlngate, for the registrar, and L. 1
Holmes for the treasurer of the Con-|
federate States of America. Across
the top of the bill was a notice to the.
effect that the bill would be redeem
able two years after a treaty ratify
ing peace between the Confederate.
States and the l ulled States should |
be signed. But, as Is well, known to |
every student of history, the South-]
ern evidences of Indebtedness were;
,11 repudiated by the national govern
ment, and' this bill, as well as every
other one Issued by the Confederates I
became Just so much worthless ua-j
per.
Although Mr. Merrill has endeavor
ed many times to find out who was |
the author of the lines Inscribed or
the back of thi old bill, he has neve
succeeded. In the opinion of Mr.
Chauncey, they are the finest he has
read In many a long day. They are,
as follows:
Representing nothing on God s earth |
now.
And naught In the waters below It;
As the pledge of a nation that a dead
and gone.
Keep If dear friend, and ahow It.
Show to those who will lend an ear.
To the tale that this paper can
tell.
Of liberty born of the patriot's dream
Of a storm-cradled nation that
fell.
Too poor to possess the precious ores.
And too much of a stronger to bor
row.
We lasued today ?t!r promise to pa> .
And hoped to redeem It on 'he mor
The days rolled by. and weeks be
came years, 1
But our coffers were empty ?till.
Coin was so rare that the treasury'd
quake
If ? dollar should drop In the till.

Breaks Wrist.
Mrs. J. M. Gallagher met with the
misfortune to break her wrist last
night at ^icr home on East Main
street.
Yeaterday afternoon about twilight
ahe had occasion to go in her back
yard for fulfilling her usual chorea
and tripped over a piece of wood
causing her to fall to the ground. As
a result of the fall she broke her
wrlat.
Although suffering much pain to
day she is getting on very nicely. Her
many friends wish for her a speedy
recovery.
But he faith that was in us was
strong indeed.
And our poperty well we discern
ed;
And these little checks represented
the pay
That our suffering veterans earn
ed.
We knew it had hrfrdly a value in
gold,
Yet as gold the aoldler received
It;
It gazed in our, eyes with a promise
to pay.
And each patriot aoldler believed
It.
But our boys thought little of price
or pay.
Or of bills that were overdue;
We knew If it bought us our bread
today,
'Twas the best our poor country
could do.
Keep It, It tells all our history over.
Prom the birth of the dream to Its
last;
ModMt, and born of the Angel Hope.
I Like our hope of succea It passed.
