TODAY’S YESTERDAYS
May 6, 972 A. D. —The Bavarian
prince whose conquests caused him to
revive the title of Emperor of the
Roman Empire after he became king
of the Germans, was born. Most not
able assistant of Henry in his Europe
wide, victorious wars was Baron Babo
von Abensberg, who at one time had
thirty-two sons in Henry’s army. The
big Babo made a wager with Henry
II that his family would last 1000
years. Just how Henry proposed to
collect isn’t known, but Babo’s line
became extinct in less than 400 years.
May 6, 1676 —John Usher, Boston
bookseller who happened to be in Eng
land, acted for the General Court of
Massachusetts and purchased Maine
irom Sir Ferdinando Gorges for the
equivalent of about $7,000. The money
was advanced from the profits of the
first bookshop in America, establish
ed by John’s father, Hezekiah, in Bos
ton. Hezekiah got rich by getting a
monopoly on the publishing and sale
of copies of laws of the New England
colonies. Under the law, you could be
arrested for printing the law without
Hezekiah’s permission.
May 6, 1776 —-There was treason, se
dition and revolutionary agitation in
Virginia. A colonial convention adopt
ed the first constitution of a free and
independent state, and followed this
action by calling on the Continental
Congress to declare all of the colonies
free. It sent Richard Henry Lee to
Philadelphia to introduce in Congress
the resolution that became the Decla
re tion of Independence.

20 Years Ago Today—Representa
tives of ail Allied Powers convened in
P’aris, with Rear Admiral William S.
Sims representing the U. S. in a mili
tary and naval council, as distinguish
ed from the secret councils the states
men held at regular intervals to di
vide up the spoils of the war the mili
tary men were still trying to win.
Two weeks previously the Allied
Statesmen had agreed (St. Jean de
Maurienne treaty) to give Italy con
cessions in the ports of Alexandria.
Haifa and Akka, and in return for
Italy’s confirmation of the Franco-
British agreement on the Arabian
peninsula and the Red Sea as a Brit
ish “zone of influence.”
British Foreign Minister Balfour, on
his visit to the White House, the week
before, had divulged to President Wil
son the details of secret treaties of the
Allies relating to the Dardanelles, Ger
man conolies, etc., which post-war his
torians were to consider important sac
tors in the origins of the war. (After
the war, however, President Wilson
denied that he knew anything about
the treaties until the Versailles con
ference, although there was the word
of Balfour, Colonel House and others
to prove that he did know them).
On this date, all the nation’s bank
ing machinery was in motion to float
the two billion dollar first Liberty
Loan. Bankers learned that J. P.
Morgan & Company was to be replac
ed as financial and purchasing repre
sentatives for the Allied powers by an
international war board in Washing
ton.

Carolina planters have been pinched
for enough plants to set out.
Stealing plants from beds occurs in
a few instances each year, but this
year one Johnston county farmer re
ported that night prowlers had stolen
three acres of his plants which had
already been set in the open field.
Shaw said that nearly three-quart
ers of the tobacco in the border coum
has already been set out, while in
the eastern counties, the work has
just begun with about ten per cent
of the plants transferred to open
fields.
The coming week will see a flurry
of work in all tobacco fields if weath
er conditions are favorable, the to
bacco specialist declared.
No estimates as to the sii:e of this
year’s crop have been made, but it is
believed that the figure will run close
to the size of last year’s crop.

I trol than was recommended by the
, budget bureau, which had $22,500,069

of the naval petroleum reserve leases
made by Albert B. Fall while secre

Teapot Dome oil scandal.
The leases on which the sub-com
