COMPANY C TO GO 10 GAMP SATURDAY Will Be At Camp Glenn, Morehead, for Two Weeks of Training MEDICAL MEN FOLLOW Will Leave Two Weeks Hence for Camp Jackson, Near Columbia, Traveling by Motor Truck For First Time Final preparations for departure for their annual encampment at Camp Glenn, Morehead City, are being made by Company C, local infantry unit, and the soldiers will leave this week-end, to be gone for two weeks. The period of intensive training at the Morehead camp is to attract Na tional Guard troops from all parts of the State. The infantrymen are to be joined here by the companies from Oxford and Wurrenton, and still other units will be added on to the train when they reach Raleigh, a special taking them over the Norfolk Southern rail road thence to Morehead. Company C. it is understood, is recruited to its full peace-time strength of three of ficers and 64 men. Captain Conrad B Sturges is head of the organiza tion . Two weeks after the infantrymen go to Camp Glenn, all units of the 105th Medical Regiment stationed in Hen derson will leave for Camp Jackson, near Columbia. S. C., where they will be quartered for two weeks in their annual intensive training period. This year the men will travel by motor truck, using their four transports as signed to them and which are in their possession as a permanent thing here. Included in the medical units here are the regimental headquarters staff, the service company and the regimental band. HOUSING BENEFITS MAY BE EXTENDED Home Owner’s Interest in New' Furni ture, Furnishings and Appli ances Foreseen The movement now under way lo cally to encourage permanent proper ty improvements may extend in many cases to individual purchases of house hold furnishings and conveniences outside of strictly building material lines, in the opinion of leaders. This is just a natural development, he pointed out today, as a result of the attention that home owners are giving to new and needed home com forts. “The immediate need, of course” Sam Alford, chairman, explained, “is to make the permanent improvements that will safeguard the home invest ment. This is the purpose of Title I of the National Housing Act. To pre pare for making application for the loan, the home owner checks his pro perty carefully to see what must be done and to estimate the cost of the improvements. “In this study of home needs, it is quite probable he will find that fur nishings and furniture and appliances have deteriorated or become obsolete, and it is more than likely that he will purchase many of these accessories as soon as family income wlil permit. It seems entirely probable that the va riety of these needs will extend to furniture, draperies, linens, upholster ing and furniture repair work, electri cal appliances and other miscellaneous necessities and conveniences, even though financing for these items is not provided for by the Housing Act. “Our people, I am quite sure, will not over-buy on any home improve ments of furnishings. Rather, they will be inclined to budget expendi tures against needs, which will re sult in an increasingly steady series of purchases for the home from a va riety iof retail .lines. “The spread of this money through the community will affget and immediately every business -a .-wholesome prospect for our entire business future.” GEORGE LEGGETT IS HOST AT BARBECUE George L. Leggett, manager of the Leggett Department Store, was host at a barbecue Wednesday afternoon at the King’s Daughters’ park. The affair was given for employees of the Leggett store, but a number of invit ed guests attended also. A delega tion from the Oxford store was pre sent, together with one or two special ly invited guests from that city. There was an abundance of barbe cue, slaugh, pickles, cornbread and rolls, together with bottled drinks. The 'cue was unusually well prepared and the entire meal delicious. Mar shall Polston asked the blessing, and the large gathering then tackled the spread on the long tables under the trees. WORK ON THEATRE BUILDING TO BEGIN Work is to start shortly in re modeling the old Riggan theatre, re cently sold by the Citizens Bank and Trust Company to B. W. Birchfield, of Durham.

Declaration Os Independence Was Not Signed On July Fourth, Though That Date Is Celeb ruled Here Are Some New Facts Concerning America’s Histone Document Indicating That History Books Aren t Always Conect By CLARK KINNAIRD Writer of the popular “Today Is the Day” column for Central Press Many millions of Americans will re fer to July 4 this year (as usual) as the anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and many millions of Americans will be wrong. Not one of the 56 signers of the De claration inscribed his name on the document on July 4. At least 13 of the signers weren’t in Philadelphna on July 4, and at least six weren’t even members of congress at that time. No incident in American history is more befogged with popular miscon ceptions than the action taken by con gress on July 4, 1776. Most of what *v a s taught about the incident in school texts for many decades has been altered as a result of modern historical research. What Actually Occurred Congress’ vote on July 4, which caused the date to be celebrated as the nation’s birthday, was an anti climax to its adoption, two days pre viously, of the resolution of indepen dence which the delegates had had be fore them since June 7, when Richard Henry Lee of Virginia introduced a resolution “that these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be free, and independent states.” What is known as the Declaration of Independence, adopted on July 4, was an explanation of the resolution. Broke Ties on Dec. 6, 1775 The Declaration is headed, “In con. gress, July 4, 1776. The unanimous De claration of the thirteen Untied States of America.” This is an error, for New York’s delegates were not impowered to subscribe to the De claration until July 9. The vote on the A YO ROMANCE MAN 5 BEU.E BURNS CROMER CHAPTER 56 WORSE THINGS than a wounded ego could happen to a woman —and to a man. Within himself Val must hnd the strength for both of them. , He crossed to his wife and took hold 7j . of her iiipp hands. “You must trust A; ] ine, Lia.” he said earnestly. “I’ll take ' “ care of you from now on. I promise..; You need never fear that ahyWfie' will laugh at you. But we aren’t going to run away. Right here we stay. With our heads held high, see?” His mouth was grim when he forc ed him self to say. “Why. this is no great tragedy—that has happened to us We have something really lasting and fine ahead if we fight to make it so But I’m not getting out of the navy. And I’m not selling my Invention. Hereafter, I do not run away from anybody nor anything’ Do you understand?" She stared up at him. her face ex pressionless. "Yon —won’t change your mind?” Her fringed lids lowered abruptly “Ve’y well.” she said. “I’ll rest now as you wished Perhaps 1 shall even sleep If I am not distuhbed.” It hurt like the devil to hear that hopeless note In her voice. He watched the small doll-like figure In Its gaudy crimson robe go dejectedly back into the shadows of the room beyond. The door swung to behind her He went back to the desk with a new determination in his move ments The envelop lay in the circle of light No need for further delay in placing these : lans where they belonged He leaned forward and scrawled Captain Edding’s name across the packet in bold letters After that he picked it up and went eut the door and along the hallway As he passed he could hear Stephen Garenne moving nervously about In the living room. Garenne must wait a little longer to tell his story. Val thought. He emerged from the bungalow and heard “four bells" striking in differ ent tones from the various ships In the Yard. Six o’clock, and already almost dark. He peered up to where black clouds /scudded across omin ously darkening skies. A hot wind, acrid with forest fire smoke had sprung up from the southeast. A storm was on its way - He crossed to tt] e office and was glad to see that Dycer was still there Without more ado he gave - • the. manila' envelope into the .man’s broad hands. Xbeti he stood with a resolution preceding- the Declaration hadn’t been unanimous; the New York delegation had abstained from voting for want of instructions, and Pennsylvania and Delaware cast di vided ballots, with some of their de legates voting against independence. Correctly speaking, the colonies cast off their ties from Britain on De cember 6, 1775, when the continental congress formally disavowed allege iance to parliament. And the united Declaration of July 4 followed indi vidual action by North Carolina, Con necticut and Virginia in declaring themselves independent of both king and parliament. Virginia’s action, in fact, led to the independence resolution of tho con gress. The Virginia legislative body instructed Richard Henry Lee to press action upon a similar declara. tion by the congress, and it was in compliance with this instruction that he introduced his resolution. Fate decreed that he should not be present when it was adoptigtr. He had been called back to Virginia by fam ily matters, and his fellow Virginian, 33-year-old Thomas Jefferson, had been chosen to draft the declaration to accompany the resolution. The choice was made by a committee or five designated by congress for the purpose of making the draft, the other members being John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Robert R. Liv ingston and Roger Sherman. Jefferson’s Inspiration Singularly, Franklin, who had pre sented the first plan for a union of the colonies 20 years before, made no impress upon the Declaration. Jeffei son was imbued with the political philosophy of John Locke, recalci*. trant Englishman, and drew his in- I great reeling or relief to watch the awkward figure with its sea-going gait roll oft in the direction of Cap tain Edding’s quarters. Val returned to the house and paused in the kitchen to tell the sly eyed Opal she was to leave tor the pight. Mrs. Preston was not w„ell, he informed her, and wanted no dinner. He woujd prepare something tor both of them when they wished it. Meanwhile, Opal was to go at once. Understand, at once! He did not avoid her curious, knowing stare but rather returned it until she hastily lowered her pale eyes. He waited until she had donned hat and coat and reluctantly closed the outer door behind herself. Then he went on through the hall to the living room where Stephen Garenne waited. “Now then, sir, 1 am ready tor your explanation.” Val said from the doorway. The tall, lean figure standing be fore the fireplace swung about to face him. "Certainly. Preston, one is due you," Garenne admitted with a shake of his head. As the older man spoke Val had started across the floor only to be stopped by a noise that seemed to come from the bedroom. He flung up a swift hand for silence. "Did you hear that?" he asked Garenne sharp ly and made for the closed door. “For God’s sake let the girl stay where she Is!” Garenne cried. “It was only the wind you heard Don’t arouse her again, l beg of you. I’ve had about all I can stand of this.” Val leaned fils ear against the panel but heard no further sound Ida's strength had been heavily taxed and perhaps it was well not to disturb her. Bm even as he turned away he was goaded bv a sense of something amiss, an urge to go back and enter the room Garenne’s harsh voice diverted him. however. "Believe me, my’bov,” Garenne said, his dark, hawk-like face intense with feeling, “it was never my Intention that such an in justice should be perpetrated on an unsuspecting man.” He began to pace the floor, his hands clasped be hind him, head bent. “As soon as the news of this ill-starred marriage reached me I made plans to come here with all speed. I wanted to set things right.” he waved an arm In a gesture of bewilderment, .. how, was beyond me— —” - 1 “When I arrived In Bremerton," he went on. “I saw that 'you werer kind to Lia, that you seemed genuinely fond of her, "After-that, ! wa*: in a i ( Copy riff htJ The famous painting, “Signing of the Declaration of independence. 1 ' (Some of the men shown here were not present.) spiration, if not his phraseology, from Locke. The document Jefferson drew up was much more radical than that the timid congress adopted: it eli minated his structures on the British people, whom Jefferson blamed equal ly with their king for the wrongs in flicted on the colonies, and it cut cut his denunciation of slavery. Also it added appeals to Providence. Jef ferson was an afnostic. Not all of those wh„ voted for the Declaration ever signed it, and some of those who didn’t vote for it did. Missing from among the signers were Patrick Henry, who had made the first call for liberty, and George Washington, who did most to win it. Most of the signatures were affixed August 2, 1776, and at least six later. That of Thomas McKean was not ad ded until 1781. His name does not ap pear in “anthenticated” copies of the resolution sent to each of the colonies in 1777, and released for public cir culation. Until that time it was sup pressed as far as possible, for the signers and their fafilies had been proscribed by the British government and rewards 0 f 500 pounds offered for their apprehension. Franklin had spoken with vision as well as wit when he said„ “Gep.t?.en\eu, we must hang together ,or we "shall most cer tainly hang separately ” Woman Printer Risks Neck A woman printer, Mary K. Goddard of Baltimore, risked her own neck in making the first copies of the De claration, those distributed to the col onies in 1777. Liberty Bell, whicb next to the ori ginal embossed copy of the Declara tion is the most revered relic of the nation’s renouncement of its ties with Britain, enjoys a. reputation that is | quandary to know what course to pursue. Then today, she she drove me too far. And I blurted out the thing I have always selfishly, per* haps—kept from her.” “Pretty late in the day to strike at her like that!” Vai ' coin merited say • hseljr. v’V ; ' ' Garenne’s face contorted, he pressed a hand against his forehead as if trying to collect his thoughts. “How can 1 explain? How can J make you understand my side of all this? The fault, of course, is at my door. But it didn’t occur to me the girl could grow up so quickly. She was a child the last time I saw her; a school girl. My sister warned me, I must admit, but 1 laughed at her. Even when she told me that the girl attracted men and that a suitable marriage must he arranged before it was too late, I thought it was only Julia Lee’s desire to be free of a bur den she had always resented. Be sides, 1 was busily engaged in organ izing my latest expedition at that time. And so 1 did nothing." He went on pacing nervously up and down as he talked. "Mv sister, Julia Lee, is a dyed-in-the-wool southerner. Intensely proud of the Garenne name. Last autumn, when the son of one of her old friends fell in love with my daughter, she bundled the girl up and brought her to China in the hope that I would be returning from the desert and would relieve her of further responsibility. And then, in Peiping, when she learned that 1 had delayed my com ing. she also received word of Lia's proposed marriage to your unsus pecting self. “The knowledge that you were a naval officer, one of an old Virginian family, had the poor woman beside herself with anxiety. Months later. Karsten—one of rny men who was in Peiping at the time brought me her letters containing a full account of the whole affair. In a panic, she tried to reach Shanghai in time to stop your wedding and, if necessary, to acquaint you with the facts of the case. But as you know, the reds seized the railway and she was turned back to Peiping. You can imagine her dilemma. lam a figure of more or less news value; so Is a navy man: And 'so she could not explain matters by public wire with out causing a scandal. Then came a telegram saying you were being married at once. And, conscious stri’eken, Julia Lea 6imply turned tail and ran.” (TO BE CONTINUED) largely false. There is no evidence that it pealed out the first news of liberty. And it. is eertain that its crack didn’t result from whatever ringing it did on July 2 or July 4 That came as it tolled a reqpieni for Chief Justice John Marshall, in July, 1835—which was many years later. McDonald Is Now Seen As a Candidate (Continued from Page One.)i is losing no time in capitalizing on it During the General Assembly, as a member of the House from Forsyth county, Mr. McDonald stood firm with the bone drys and consistently voted against all of the -various .liquor con trol bills that were presented, delud ing the Day bill,, which called for a State-wide referendum, by counties on ! whether or not the State should set up a Statewide liquor control plan and a system of State liquor stores. The House, however, voted by a good sized majority for the Day bill in spite of the opposition of Dr. McDonald and the dry minority in the House A group of five personally wet but poli tically dry senators voted against the Day bill in the Senate and prevented its enactment into law. The last minute enactment of the New Han over and Pasquotank liquor laws re sulted from the refusal of the Senate to pass the Day liquor bill. But now thal every county which lias so far voted on liquor control hat voted for it by majorities ranging from three-to-one to ten-to-one, and since Lieutenant Governor A. H. Graham has already come out advocating a State liquor control law and the use of the revenue from the sale of liquor in State stores to remove the sales tax from foods and meals and to reduce the sales tax as rapidly as possible the other candidates, or would-be can didates, are rapidly falling in line Most observers here are now inclined to believe that no candidate for gov ernor can be nominated or elected un less he favors a State liquor control lav/, and that eventually Clyde Hoey will favor a State referendum, such as iiqw advocated by McDonald. 1876 Sophie I.
