Napoleon studied Charles’ cam paigns and used him as a military model, yet his downfall followed his repetition of Charles’ error in invad ing Russia ill-timed and ill-prepared. The Swedes had been delayed in the country for months by a winter so cold that firewoo’d would not ig nite in open air; brandy froze into solid masses of ice; birds could not fly; saliva congealed on its passage from mouth to ground. Os the 44,000 men with which he left his country, he returned with only one! Pultova started Peter on the Eu ropeonization and modernization of Russia. July 8 Among State Histories — 1797 The U. S.

What Do You Know About North Carolina? By FRED H. MAY 1. What was North Carolina’s lead ing iron county during the peak ofj its production in the State? 2. How much value is added through the manufacture of North Carolina raw products? • 3. When was the district plan of senatorial representation in North Carolina adopted? 4. What relief for wives and fam ilies of soldiers did the State provide in 1863? 5. When did the first Quaker preach ers come to North Carolina? 6. When was the court resorted to stop a man from singing in the church? ANSWERS 1. Lincoln county in 1823 had four furnaces and ten forges in active op eration and turned out over 900 tons of bar iron. The outstanding leaders in the industry were John Fulenwid er, Peter Forney, Alexander Brevard and Joseph Graham. 2. In 1927 the total value of pro ducts manufactured by North Caro lina factories was $1,154,617,636. The raw materials, fuel and power amount ed to $562,088,283, leaving a value ad ded by manufacturing of $592,531,353. This value of one-lear’s business is slightly more than the combined state, county and municipal debt. 3. Until 1835 each county in the State was allowed a senator. The con stitution adopted that year changed to the district plan and this became effective at the next election in 1836. 4. The general assembly voted an appropriation of one million dollars to be distributed among the counties for the relief of wives and families of indigent soldiers of North Caro lina in the service of the State and Confederate government. 5. The Journal of Henry Edmundson a Quaker preacher, for the years of 1671 and 1672 shows that he visited Alibemarle, then the only inhabited part of the whole Carolina territory. He wrote in his journal the people “had little or no religion for they came and sat down in the meeting smoking their pipes.” 6. In 1873, William Linkhaw, of Robeson county, was indicted by members of his church for disturbing worship. First the members appealed to him to stop trying to sing, saying that he caused mirth to some and in dignation to others. He was convict ed in the lower court, but the supreme court reversed the decision. HENDERSON, (N. C.) DAILY DISPATCH, WEDNESDAY. JULY 8, 1936.

Even neutral vessels were forced to voter Allied ports re search, since examinations on the high seas had been made untenable for blockade ships by submarines. With total abandonment of the De claration of liondon, Britain adopted the principle of rationing, even de cideding what quantities of materials concerns in neutral countries were entitled to receive. Now, indeed, it had become the World’s War.

BURLINGTON HEARS FORT BRAGG GUNS Sound of Explosions Carries 90 Miles During Practice Bom bardment Burlington, July B—The muffled rumble of the big guns at Fort Bragg 90 miles away, could be heard dis tinctly here Monday afternoon. Attention to the firing was called by a veteran whose ears caught a noise once familiar to him when his division was active on the western front in France. "Hear them,” he said to a com rade. “What does it recall to you?” “The first voice of the battlefield, like a muffled chorus in the dis tance, increasing in volume as lor ries lumbered on toward the front— the white allied puffs—the black Ger man puffs, as explosives hurst un der the wings of war birds and ‘saus age’ balloons.” The first veteran remarked he had heard the cannonade at Bragg seve ral times before, apparently when at mospheric conditions were right to carry the sound such distance. I m glad that nobody is going up the line from there today," the vet eran remarked. “It is a little prac tice stunt, I guess, with the boys hurling projectile into the sand of barren land.” * DUKE FACULTY HAS BEEN INCREASED Dm ham, July B—The8 —The faculties of the departments of English and math ematics of Duke university will he increased in personnel during the acedemic year 1936-37, it is announc ed.

GRANVILLE FARMER MAY DIE OF BURNS Gasoline Mixed With Kelrosene By Son Explodes When Man Starts Fire | Oxford, July B—Ernest Brummitt, young Granville county farmer living one mile from Oxford on the Dabney road, is in Granville county hospital in a critical condition suffering with severe burns. Attending doctors are holding out slight hope for his re covery. Bruimmitt, not knowing that his small son had poured some gasoline into the kerosene can, started fire in the kitchen stove for breakfast yes terday morning aJbout 4:45 o’clock with what he thought was pure kero sene.. The gas flumes caused the fire to spread. The can of oil ex ploded, with flames enveloping Brum mitt and setting the house on fire. Brumimitt’s wife smothered the fire on on_her husband by wrapping him in a blanket. She then called for help from the neighbors. The fire had not spread very much in the kitchen when neighbors reach ed the scene in a few minutes. Brum mitt was taken quickly to Brantwood hospital for treatment. War to the Kuife Faces Groups Workers Unions (Continued rrom rage One.) stead of into various unions accord ing to the craft they work at, im mediately flared back. He said that if the A. F. of L. exe cutive council “elects to join with the corporations composing the American Iron & Steel Institute” in fighting the Lewis group, “the shame of such a dishonorable action will lie on the heads of Mr. Green and his irrecon cilable associates.” The executive council faced a de cision whether to remove Lewis’ mine workers and eleven other unions from the federation. President Green, in a statement last night, recalled that the A. F., of L. was laying plans for a steel campaign when the Lewis committee started one on its own hook. Loans and Grants to Farm ers Ready In Stricken Area (Continued from rage one.T Dakotas, Minnesota, Wyoming and Montana, were in need of some form of immediate cash relief. He said 50,- 000 were being employed on WPA pro jects. Next month, the President said, he would visit the “dust bowl,” the Da kotas, and possibly Minnesota, to guage the progress of the program. Earlier the Agriculture Department mamed 97 “emergency counties’* irl the arid areas of the Dakotas, Mon tana and Wyoming. Federal relief will be concentrated upon them. The AAA also modified its soil conservation program in the stricken sections so farmers may raise fodder for their livestock. The deaths of at least 28 persons were attributed directly to the heat, while 25 others drowned as they sought to escape the sun’s burning rays in lakes and rivers.
