TOD AX 'S HOROSCOPE Today gives a nature appaiei.tiy placid and calm, but with in under current of feeling and passion that may tend to the sensuous. If nothing occurs to ft rouse the feelings, you are liable to drift along without accom plishing a good deal in life; hut ad versity, or a little opposition, may awaken a desire that will overcome obstacles.

Scanning the skies: those seeming ly miraculous caverns in which you find huge icicles and other ice forma tions in midsummer, are likely to be without ice in midwinter! The water it collects from the melting snows in spring is frozen and preserved through the Summer in the cold and stagnant air at the bottom of the cave. But this gradually evaporates and disappears by late Autumn. In winter, with streams frozen, none seeps in to be transformed into frosty decorations. TODAY'S YESTERDAYS Feb. 21, 1795 —Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna was born in Mexico, where he became alternately Presi dent and fugitive until long after he had been the villain of the massacre of the Alamo. Nor was the Alamo all his villiany: he was the man who in troduced chewing-gum into the U. S. Yet he was not heartless. He mar ried the wrong woman by mistake rather than embarrass her. He de sired her pretty sister, but he made his proposal to her parents so clum sily that they understood him to mean Senorita Inez, and only when he approached the. alter did he note the error. The marriage-by-mistake did, not take, and he Is said to have de layed the message at the Alamo so he could woo and marry a pretty Texas girl fraudulently. Feb. 21, 1801 —John Henry Newman was bprh in London, sod of a banker. ‘ He was the first Protestant to become a cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church after conversion. His hymn, "Lead kindly Light.’’ is sung by all i denominations. It was written when he was 33 and becalmed with many other passengers on a small orange-' boat in the Straths of Bonifacio (Mediterranean). Feb. 21, 1842—John J. Greenough was granted the first U. S. patent on sewing machines. His machine had to be threaded in short lengths, as in hand-sewing. First , patent obtained by Elias Howe, wiio usually is cred ited with invention of the sewing-ma chine, w'as issued four years later. Both men were 50 years behind Thomas Saint, Englishman, wiio built a machine for sewing shoes. FIRST WORLD WAR DAY-BY-DAY 20 Years Ago Today—At 7:15 a. m., the Germans began the battle of Ver dun. It. was the greatest offensive in the w’est since the allied drives in Champagne and Artois the previous September. Unlike the French at Champagne and the British at Loos, the Germans did not preface the at tack with a bombardment of many days. They sought to preserve the element of surprise to to the latest possible moment and relied upon the destructive effect of the heaviest con centration of artillery yet known in war, to accomplish in a brief time that preparation which was necessary What Do You ; Know About !

What was the organization, i “Heroes of America?’’ ANSWERS 1. in Continental Congress at Phil e.dolphio in 1778 Dr. 'Thomas Burke heatedly opposed a communication to General Washington that contained unmerited reflections on the general. He retired from the chamber, thus breaking a quorum. When sent for he expressed himself in such away to the messenger that congress consider ed him in contempt of that body. 2. Raleigh had joined with the Wil minglon interests for the Wilmington and Raleigh .‘ailroad. Upon the de cision to IniilJ that road to Weldon •he | eople of Raleigh sought to tic in with oilier plans that would give them a. railroad connection. Virginia bad built south to the Roanoke river, ami was ready to subscribe stock ex teiuliiifj"a line south across North Caiolina. Raleigh and the Virginia in terests joined and soon hud the lino under construction. 3. The distance from Nassau to Wil mington was 570 miles. Often the pro fits from as ingle return voyage from Nassau amounted $150,000. Freights ranged as high as SI,OOO per ton. Cap- Runs often were paid $5,000 for a. re turn trip. The fall of Fort Fisher put an end to blockade running. 4. The proposition of removal of the comity seat from Plymouth to “Mc- Key’s Ferry” was submitted to the vote of tlie people of the county un der act ratified by the legislature De cember 22, 1873. 5 In 1891. the legislature approp riated SSO for removing the body of Brigadier-General Summer, of Revo lutionary fame, from an unkept Grave in Warren county, to Guilford Battle ground. 6.

Germany’s power was at the highest point in her history, but this was not realized in London and Paris until the Kaiser’s troops stood on the ruins of Fort Douaumont and approached the last line of Verdun’s defenses. Verdun was the turning point of the war. Because it was, and because it was one of the most fascinating cam paigns in history, the writer propos ed to dwell upon it at some length in this chronicle.

To the Editor: In the early years of the latter half of the seventeenth century the Amer ican colonies consisted of thirteen in number, bordering the Atlantic sea board from Maine to Georgia, having a population of less than four million, free from selfish conflicting interests. It was then and under these condi tions that our forefathers being dis satisfied with English rule declared their intention of being a. free people, assembled by delegated representation on July Fourth. Seventeen Seventy Six, caused to be signed and ratified that immortal document, “The Amer ican Declaration of Independence,” upon the principals of which the ori ginal Constitution of the United States was founded. I submit a por tion of the second paragraph of this document, (read tlie whole declaration and you will be a better citizen and a more loyal Democrat.) “Quote” We hold these truth to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these lights, Govern ments are instituted among Men, de riving their just powers from the con sent of tlie governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends. It is the Right, of tin* People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Gov ern meat, laying its foundation on such principals and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.” Twelve years later September 17, 1787, the first seven articles of our Constitution were ratified, since which time there have been twenty one amendments added thereto. After a careful study of the Declaration of Independence, it is self-evident that the principals embodied therein when compared with the following intro ductory paragraph of our Constitution are inseperaMe, the former intended to lie a, permanent foundation upon which the latter must be erected and remodeled as necessities may arise. "Quote.’’ “We tlie people of the United Slates, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for tlie common defense, promote gen eral Welfare and. secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Pos- I'Mity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United .States of America.” I do not wish to be understood as assuming the technique of constitu tional law, however, 1 am not prepar ed 1o accept the divided opinion of Saw Living Death ’> ; ' v 7 ■ Sk Ijm Wag ■» #mmpK aBSIj mßKmfr- maummijgn Mile.

(Central Prcuej our high court to be infalible or carry with it power to nullify the actions of our Congress and President. Noth ing less than a unanimous opinion should carry such pow’ers. New Deal legislation is probably not a model of legal perfection, how ever, it has gone a long ways to ward lifting the whole out of the in densible economic quicksands of Re publican Administration. Progress would have been much more marked were it not for the dead-weight of such as A1 Smith, the Liberty Lea guers and others who are wolves in sheep clothing, endeavoring to dis guise their real attitude under the false claim of being allied with the Democratic party. They are exhaust ing their energies finding fault and arc without brains or statesmanship to offer a better' solution. Who has profited by the New Deal? Have the benefits been equitably distributed? Banks, Railroads, Manufacture, all legitimate business, Agriculture ami Labor have been the benefactors. It Is an insult to common intellect for a bunch of Republicans or their equivalent to criticize, when the facts are that at the beginning of the Hoover Administration general condi tions of the country were normal. The mass of the people were reasonably prosperous and content. Four years later, at the close of the Administra tion, a condition had developed which civilization never before confronted. Want and acute suffering in the midst, of plenty, while he spent his lime and talent surveying the corner:; in order that prosperity might return in event it saw fit to do so of iis own volition. Why raise so much hell about the money necessarily spent to relieve suffering, furnish employment, stim ulate business. Have we forgotten that we spent, with the unanimous consent of the American people, more than twenty billion to wage a war which has proven to be a commercial war, in which approximately one bal m ill ion of the flower of the young manhood of America wore slaughter ed, died of disease or were permanent ly crippled, in addition more than two and one half billion dollars of bonus is now being used as bludgeon against tlie Administration, by the. Liberty League and their kind, who were the. ones wiio reaped the blood drenched profits from war materials and cou pons from securities which they paid for with printing press money of their own manufacture, contrary to the ori ginal Conslitution, which clearly states that Congress alone has the right to coin and regulate the value of money (Article I, Section eight, Clause five.) If the present administration is de feated if will not be for what it has done, it ’Til' b. for what : t has failed to do. If you are dissatisfied with tlie prin cipals of modern democracy you should be at least as honest as A! Smith. Put on your high hat and take a walk. It is no disgrace to disagree with the Democratic party but it is an unpardonable sin to be a hypocrite, politically or otherwise. My advice to you is to confess your sins and sin no more, quit knocking and grumb ling and stick with,the Roosevelt Ad ministration. W. A. CONNELL. Warrenton, Feb. 19, 1936.
