Battle of Plymouth, April 17-20,1864 (Note: —The fflowing article was "written by Mr. James C. Elliott, j of Lattimore, R-l, a Confederate Veteran. Sixty-six years ago this week the battle of Plymouth occur ed. Mr. Elliott states in his letter that he is the only surviving eye wit ness of the battle.) This was the most important vic tory over the invaders of the state. Owing to the lack of naval equip ment oi3r coastal towns and navi gable rivers were an easy prey to the Federals. Early in the war they took Roanoke Island, Plymouth on the Roanoke River, Washington on Tar river, New Berne on the Neuse river, Edenton on Palmico Sound and Beaufort, on the Atlantic ocean. All water ports were taken except Wilmington. That was defended un til April 1865. All those were strate getic points for threatening the in vasion of the interior with a constant menace to the Seaboard railroad that required a force to protect it from Weldon to Wilmington. From early in 1863 Ransoms Brigade of 24-25, 35-49 th, and 56th regiments held this position. The enemy made occasion al forays but never got far until driven back.

THE OLDER BOYS' CONFERENCE Last week end it was my oppor tunity to attend a part of the Old er Boys' Qotnference at Spindale. Since coming into this county I had heard of this movement and natural ly there was a desire to attend, for whatever aids the boy in making ad justments in life acts as a maganet to my heart. In that conference one felt in the present of the civic, so cial, industrial and educational lead ers of two generations and the re ligious for all time. There were pres ent representatlv?s of all that is high and noble Li life and the wide awake interest of that great group of Older Boys' could not but elicit ones lasting interest and support. A movement that can attract the interest and financial support, also ihe time of busy business men like Messrs S. E. Elmore, C. H. Haynes, Ernest Smart, Z. O. Jenkins, K. S. Tanner, G. B. Howard, and others who were present, also leading edu cators and ministers in the county certainly has its mud sills laid deep in the essentials of manhood and progress. No more admirable dis crentency is shown that in having a part in making the young men, men mart in the affairs of tomorrow. Prophesies fail but essential en terprises never. Looking into the six years record of this movement one finds an earnest of what is to be. There has been a steady normal growth and with the increasing in terest on the part of business men and leaders in other fields of service clear way ahead. I join with the' the Older Boys' Conference has a the Older Boys' Conference in say ing to th conference that we are glad you are coming to hold your next session with us. - ' £ * J.

One feature of 4-H club work that we feel called upon to commend is the Junior Forest Ranger project, now being carried on in many parts of the country. The plan is to get the boys and girls on the farm interested in for estation. In the state of Wisconsin it is expected that almost 1,000 boys •and girls will plant trees and heip to establish wood trees and forest plots. The slogan is "Have the boys and girls and trees grow up together' In other states similar projects are being carried out. Although this phase of club .work is comparatively new, the results are already noticeable and within the course of a few years forestation will be given an impetus that will restore many waste regions to their native beauty and value. This junior forest ranger project includes such activity, as teaching the boys and girls to identify com mon woods and trees, learning when and how to plant, planting seed beds and then resetting the young seed lings to the sites selected. A related task is the collecting of insects that attack trees and learning how to ef fect their control. Forestation is one of the great tasks before this country. Its vast areas laid waste by lumbering acti vities should be restored to their early beauty and economic value by the growing of timber crops. But such work requires a wholehearted support from the general public which to date has not been forthcom ing. The way to carry forward any such long range project lies in the education of the general public, and the best known way to influence the I 00( ■■ ! m 1 I 1 f Select I I I The Foods I I iSP * For Your 1 l I I \ Pirely I J ~ % / Wiggly | | ' QWe will have fancy assortment of Boiled Dyed B JUvjVjU Eggs Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Therefore, it becomes obvious that forestation throughout the country can become a national policy when the people are educated and given the right point of view. This will come about through the work with the developing youth of the land.
