FIOH AULANDEK.
Old Soldiers Day at Windsor Aulan
der Ball TeamEdgar Inlgbt to
Teacb-Other Ilems.
Aulander and Greenville divid
ed a double header in that town
last week, Aulander winning the
first game 4 to 3 and Greenville
the second 3 to 2. Those who
went from here say that the
games, were about the best the
Aulander boys have played this
season, and when it is remem
bered that the Greenville team is
composed mostly of semi-prof es
atonal players, the showing is ex
cellent 1.
Mr.' Chester Dunning went to
Suffolk and Norfolk last week in
the interest of the ball team.
Aulander will be well repre
sented at Windsor on Old Sol
dier's day. ; It is the desire v of
the committee for every family
to take a lunch, enough for the
family and two or three in addi
tion. This is the plan adopted
to feed the crowdB from each sec
tion and Aulander will not be be
hind every other town.v 'Gover
nor Craig will speak in the morn
ing and Judge Robt W. Winston
in the afternoon. Two bands will
make music. No doubt the oc
caaion tnis year will eclipse any
entertainment ever arranged be
fore, as extensive "preparations
are being made. The Governor
does not come our way often and
everybody should hear and -see
him. while Judge Robt W. Win
ston is one of the most promir
nent and forceful oratora, in the
f state, and will no doubteliver
a fine address. Let everybody
from Aulander and vicinity take
lunch and spend the day in Wind
sor. There's a good time for all.
Mrs. D. E. Henderson of New
Bern is spending some time with
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J.
Henry Jenkins.
Tnere seems to be no doubt
now but that we will have elec
tric lights this fall The town
authorities and the oil mill offi
cers are working on plans to light
up the town including tne streets
in all the business sections, and
all citizens wi'l have the- oppor
tunity of having their- hoines
wired and lights put ift Aside
from the convenience, the lights
will probably cost no more than
kerosine. A list is being made
of those who will rise elecitric
lights and includes' most of the
residences of the town.
Not much has been said about
the' personnel of the ball team
this season, most of our' notices
being merely statements jot ,a
general nature. No town in east
ern Carolina can boast of as good
local talent as we have. ' For
pitchers, Cliff CasteloeV"Byrd
Minton and Edwin Early are
hard to beat Chester Dunning
does all the catching. On first
base, Powell is second to none in
this section, while Claud New
some at second base and Graham
Newsome at third are fine plsy-
era. Minton at short is one Of
the best amateur players in the
state. ' The fielders, Teele Har
rell, Obed Castelloe and Carson
Dunning are whirlwinds, , and

Good crowds attend very game
and enjoy the sport .
f The 'Aulander is", one of the
bands engaged for Old Soldiers
day Mt Windsor and ; are prepaf-
ing a good program for the occa
sion. The writer heard the Ocean
View band again last week and
there is not much difference in
the quality of the music as played
by each band. Most the num
bers on the program were pieces
that are plaved by the Aulander
Orchestra.

ing.
Aulander defeated Ahoskie
here last Friday the score being
10 to 1. Edwin Early pitched a
good game for the locals, While
Copeland for the visitors was hit
freely. Minton and Castelloe
each drove out a home run.
' The farmers near Aulander are
said to have to have the best
crops of this section. At many
other places on account of the
seasons they are said to have been
at a disadvantage. One gentle
man who has been over much of
0ie country stated that the pret
tiest crops he saw were near
this place. ' v ' ' '
Mr. Edgar W. Khightrecently

how many in the fifth, and how

Some persons will do well at
the beginning, but will soon be

WHO INVENTED WINE?
Ercdlte Article Containing Wealth of
iDlonnatlon on This Absorbing
Topic.
Charleston Evening Post
In the Bible (Genesis ix. 20-21)
it is stated. And Noah began to
be a huBbandman, and he plant
ed a vineyard ; and he drank of
the1 wine, and was drunken."
This is generally held to be an
account of the discovery of wine
making, sayB the Rehoboth Sun
day Herald, but if so we are
foced to go to the Babylonians
for the trigic of this popular
drtoki Noah was a-Hebrew, but
is found under another name,
Pir-Napishtim, in the famous
Babylonian Nimrod Epic, the
great poem describing the origin
of the world and the Deluge, as
known to the Babylonians. It js;
now generally known that the
Deluge story, including Noahj of
course, was borrowed from the
Babylonians by the Hebrews,
either when Abraham emigrated
ttmpJrei the ChaldeeB" tBa
bylorfia) or in later times, when
the Hebrews were captive in
Babylonia, after the destruction
of Solomon's temple.
This being the case, the inven
tion df wine is carried back to at
least'i,000 vears B. C, even if
it; was not known by other races
before that time. Grapes grew
wild "before they were cultivated,
and savage tribeB knowing noth
ing of ' agriculture, made wine
friun wild grapes, so aa soon as
there i were grapes; nd men prob-
a$rifr'wr;r!
is -only the juice of the grapes
fermented
Upon a clay tablet, inscribed
with the ancient cuneiform, or
wedge-shaped characters, we
have a list of different kinds of
wine used by the Babylonians,
and it speaks of shepherd's wine,
Syrian wine, sweet wine, and
carrob wine. The Assyrians did
not pour their wine into the cups
from jars or bottles, but dipped
the cups into the larger vessel.
as may be seen from some of the
pictures.
The ancient Egyptians were
experts in winemaking, for on
the tomb wall are pictures of the
entire process of wine-making,.
from the treading out of the
grapes to the bottling. :
Even the old Hittites,. greatest
puzzle , of the scholars, whose
writings have not yet been satis
factorily read, were one of the
most ancient races of Western
Asia, for Abraham bought the
cave of Machpelah from the Hit
tites, and that was more than
4,000 years ago. Among them
even the women drank wine, as
may be seen from a picture in
which two women appear toast
ing each other in what can hard
ly be tea, for it is not probable
that China or Japan were then
in communication with the land
of theHittites, even though these
warriors, wear pigtails and for
this reason are supposed to have
originated from Mongolian stock.
In fact, we have a picture of a
wine divinity of the Hittites in a
figure far more interesting than
beautiful, but instructive for all
that, that is the predecessor of
the Greek and Roman Bacchus
by-many, centuries, . y '.-.

Camp Supper.
The Baraca and Philathea class
es of Sandy Run' Baptist Sunday
School gave a delightful camp
supper Tuesday evening, July 15,
on the lawn at the home of Mr.
John E. Tyler, about a mile from
town.
The classes with their invited
guests, chaperoned by Mesdames
C. C. Tyler, P. B. Cole and W.
H. Gilbert, were conveyed to the
scene of action on wagons pro
vided by the Baracas. Those
from a distance in attendance
were Mrs. W. V. Brett, Winston
Salem; Miss Hedspeth. Rehoboth;
Mus Powell Drum Hill; Mies
Holloman, Pbwellsville; and Mr.
Jimmie Jenkins, U. S. N., New
York City.
All necessary arrangements had
been previously, made, so the
time of arrival was the begin
ning of merry-making. The
place was ideal for a camo sup-
per-a large lawn with giant oaks
stretching out their protecting
arms, a bright camp-fire sending
its mighty flames upward; a full
moon trying to peep through the
thin clouds, gave us not night,
but the appearance of a day half
asleep, and linked yesterday with
today. The bright faces and
cheerfulvoices of the pleasure
seekers lent to the enchantment
Everyone seemed to vie with
another in making the occasion
the most joyful of the season.' Old
times games, Folk songs and bits
of wit were enjoyed around the
light of the blazing fire.' Each
Philathea carried a basket filled
with good things to eat, and in
werefried in
true camp style. All things read v
for eating, the signal was given,
and as this band of Christian
workers gathered around one of
the most tempting -kappmujv,
spread before a
crowd, surety ft'diml
"We sat. upon the Ip: piciturj
in the presence of Nature's
and. enjoyed a, feast that gave
strength to the body and inspir
ation to the soul." We enjoyed
games and conversation so pure
that we were reminded even in
the midst of these festivities that
the voice in the wilderness was
silent, and the light of the life of
a Savior had taken its place.
