TODAY’S YESTERDAY’S Feb. 26, 1820 —Victor Marie Hugo was born in Besancon, France, an all but still-born child who survived to adulthood only because of the inde fatigible devotion of his mother. Thanks to her home instructions, too, he began producing at 20 the poetry, drama, philosophy and fiction that were to make his an immortal. He was 60 when he wrote the classic Les Miserables. From a sickly youth he developed into a mental and physical giant who had the habit of downing gargantuan quantities of roast beef, omelets, beans, milk, cheese and mustard and huge cups of coffee at a meal. The hundreds of books he produced did not interfere with a busy political life, and he proposed a league of na tions half a century before Woodrow Wilson. He visualized a United States of Europe enforcing world peace. Feb. 26, 1845—'William Frederick Cody, the most famous westerner, was born in lowa —Scott County.

R., to feed construc tion laborers. Cody had an appetite that matched Hugo’s, particularly in strong drink. After he had been a quart-a-day man for years, his doctor begged him to limit himself to one drink a day. Cody promised he would, and kept his promise by having the bartender serve the drink in a huge water-glass Feb. 26, 1827 —Charles Monroe Shel don was born in Wellsville, N.

What Do You Know About North Carolina? By FRED H. MAY 1. What did Governor Tod R. Calcl-' well ask for the election laws of ( 1871-2 to be changed? 2. When were all persons prohibited | from writing or visiting a governor? j 3. What punishment took the place of the whipping post and pillory? j 4. What man was president ot the j convention that rejected the Federal j Constitution, and also of the one that! accepted it? 5. How much were the salaries of State employees reduced in 1931 and 1933? 6. How are vacancies In the gen eral assembly filled? ANSWERS 1. When the democrats regained control in that legislature and oust ed the reconstruction offiaials they immediately changed the election Among the provisions of their new election law was one requiring all ballots to be printed on wnite paper and without any device, or pic ture. The ignorant Negro voters, and many whites, who had been voting by color of the ballot before this time, were confused. Governor Caldwell in his message to the next legislature asked for this to be changed, saying. “Why this requirement should be made. I have been unable to conceive and no oneh as been able to suggest a plausible reason.” 2. The Safety Committee, at New Bern, on August 5, 1776, adopted a re solution, “That no person or persons whatever, have any correspondence with him, either by personal com munication or letter, on pain of being deemed enemies of America, and dealt with accordingly.” The governor- re ferred to was Governor Josiah Mar tin, North Carolina’s last royal gov ernor, who had fled from New Bern to a British Ship. 3.

The legislature of 1931 made a reduction of 10 percent and the legis lature of 1933 made another reduc tion, bringing the total reduction to 32 percent for employees in State in stitutions and 38 percent for those who worked in State departments. 6. To fill vacancies caused by deaths resignations, or otherwise the Consti tution provides for special elections to be called in the effected counties, or districts, by the governor. HENDERSON. (N. C.)

She settled rapidly and water soon got to the boilers, which begin to explode in a few minutes. This former transatlantic liner was serving as a troop transport and had 4>'ooo aboard. More than 3,000 of them were drowned. The captain went down on his bridge. Gauthier, assistant quartermaster of La Provence, having been taken on board an overloaded raft, was hail ed by a soldier asking for help. He jumped into the water to give him a place, saying, “A sailor’s duty is to save the soldiers first of all.” He was picked up 21 hours after the wreck, clinging to a plank. IT’S TRUE What’s in a name? George Barr McCutcheon, already a successful au thor when he wrote “Brewster’s Mil lions,” published it under a nom-de plume, Richard Greaves. It outsold all his other books. John Locke spent 17 years settling a question that arose in a friendly argument. Then he wrote his cele brated Essay on Human Understand ing. The U. S. Army since 1775 has con quered more territory than any other army in the world, excepting only Great Britain’s. California was once considered a province by Russia. Abraham Lincoln fought a duel, with Lyman Trumbull. Boy babies cry more than girl ba bies, it has been established by ob servation . No less than 5,000 languages have been spoken by natives of North Ame rica. G. B. Burgin, British author of 113 published novels, is still writing at 88 and expects to bring out seven more.'. Walter Duranty went safely through two wars and a seige of anarchy, and then lost a leg in a peacetime train wreck. Queries, reproofs, etc., are welcom ed by Clark Kinnaird. OTHERS VIEWS MODERN CHURCHES AND MOD ERN CHURCH MEMBERS. To the Editor: The churches at this time is point ed out in the Savior’s words in Reve lations. Thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead. (Revelations 3-1.) Church members are becoming de voted to worldly lust. Joined hands with the ungodly in parties of pleas ure dancing, card playing, picnics, church minstrel shows, big suppers,, for the high-ups, it is evident that these motives are not the works of the spirit of God. In His word God has given to men a revelation of Him self and all who accept them, they are’ a power against the deceptions of Satan. It is a neglect of the spirit of God than has opened the doors to the evils which are now becoming so wide spread in the so-called religious world. The nature and the importance of the spirit of God have been to a great ex tent lost sight of. One source of danger is the neglect of the pulpit to; enforce the divine spirit. In former days the pulpit was an echo of the voice of conscience. The ; tendency of the modern pulpit is to strain out the divine justice from the divine power of God rather than exalt it into a principle men easily slide into the habit of underestimating the grace which has provided an att.one ment for sin. Then the gos Del loses its value and importance in the minds S7OO Guns for 12c F Ilk : i f y. I y w :|rr@ m i m igL « 11 BBMPiIBIWi jig Jacob Paley testifying Testifying at the closing session of the 20-month senate munitions comfanttee investigation in Wash ington, Jacob Paley, a New York City junk dealer, told how he pur chased for 12 cents guns which cost S7OO. Paley said he bought more than 3,000 old army ma chine guns. Many of them never had been used. Paley said junk dealers resold guns to Latin- American countries. of men and soon they are ready to cast aside the Bible, itself, God is love and His spirit is love, its two great principles are love to God and love to man. Love is the fulfilling of the spirit. Paul teaches that believers are to be sancified by the Holy Grost. What is the work of the Holy Ghost? Jesus told His disciples when He, the Holy Ghost is come He the Holy Ghost shall teach you all things. Let none deceive themselves, with be lief that they can become holy while wilfully violating one of God’s require ments. How many professed Christ ians are hindering the power of God by doing something against God’s will, how many are debasing their God-like manhood by wine drinking, by forbidden pleasure and by bigamy, by swearing, taking the Lord’s name in vain and many other unrighteous deeds, and yet the modern churches don’t seem to condemn it at all. It makes no difference how immoral a member is, not saying anything about his Christianity at all. Oh, he is a good prayer to the church we must not rebuke him he might get offended and leave the church. If jesus were to enter the churches of this modern age and behold the feasting and worldly traffic and see their conduct, how they are desecrat ing the House of God, would he not drive them out, as he did the money changers. The modern church mem ber is given up to self indulgences, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye and the pride of life, but Christ followers have a higher calling. Come out from among them and be ye sepa rate saith the Lord and touch not the unclean. To those who comply with the con dition of God, God’s promise is, I will be a father unto you and ye shall be my sons and daughters saith the Lord Almighty. Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly. Now I know-swhat I have written is not popular with modern church members and I don’t expect nothing but to be ridiculed for it, but that is alright. I am not seeking popular ity. I am seeking to have my name written in the Book of life, with a pass into the happy beyond, with the stamp of the Holy Ghost stamped on it. W. D. MAY. Henderson, Feb. 25, 1936.
