AUGUST 7 IN HISTORY The Battle of Thermopulae has been remembered for 24 centuries because of the admiration of classical scholars and historians for the courage of Leonidas of Sparta, who was every inch a king. Historians and scholars are writteh by bookish fellows who .feel a natural hero-worship for men Os action and fortitude. “'■« When others in the massed armies of; Greece fled at the sight of the size of* the Persian hordes led by King Xerxes, Leonidas ahd 1400 soldiers re mained to defend the 20 foot passage between cliff and sea, the only acces sible entry into Greece known to the invaders. For three days * and two nights, Leonidas’ crafty generalship and un ceasing encouragement of his 1400, held the pass against 500,000 men. In the third night, Ephialtes, Judas of Greece, guided Persians over a sec-' r«?t path in return for a rich bribe. The Spartans, though assailed front ; and rear, refused to surrender and died fighting. Widowed by Leonidas was his niece. He married his brother’s daughter. !

We have hundreds of thousands of laws, but none in popular use deal with the crime that is more produc tive of human unhappiness than any - other —gossip. The duckling-stool still has its ad vocates, even though the last record ed instance of its official use as an instrument of justice was on August 8, 1745. Ducked was a woman ale »house keeper of near London who couldn’t keep her tongue out of her affairs. An approving crowd estimated at 3,000 gathered on the banks of the Thames to witness her immersion, by bailiffs of the court. ( Not humane impulses, but develop ment of a more stringent punishment , ‘for the common scold, caused aban donment of the ducking-stool. This .was an old machine called the brank, a sort of iron mask making it impos- What Do You Know About North Carolina? t By F'KED H.

G. Burton report in 1826? ANSWERS 1 — The latest of our legal holidays was provided for by the legislature of 1919 when November 11, Armistice Day, was designated as such by spe cial act. 2 Fifty warships, carrying 600 can nons. The naval attack was aided by land forces before the fort was finally taken on February 15, 1865. 3 Any group of voters that receiv ed at the last general election preced ing three per cent of the total vote cast for the governor or the presi dential ejectors. When any party falls below this three per cent it loses , its right to recognition in an election. 4 The legislature of 1891 passed an act authorizing the trustees to remove | the college from Randolph county to i the present location of the woman’s ! college unit of Duke niversity at Dur- I ham. The act provided for the col l lege to be governed by 36 trustees, twelve to be elected by the North Carolina conference, twelve by the Western North Carolina Conference, and twelve by the graduates of the college. 5 According to the census of 1930 North Carolina ranks at the head of the list with 8(0.3 per cent native torn white. In negro native born popula tion it has 88 per cent and is sur passed only by one other state, Ari zona with 88.1 per cent. 6ln his nessage to the. legislature Governor Burton said, “It is to be lamented that from the formation of the constitution (1776) until the last session of the General Assembly, (a period of forty-nine years) nothing whatever has been done The pres ent generation may pass away before anything effectual is done.” It was fourteen years later before anything was done. In 1840 a common school bill was put through the legislature. ANSWERS TO TEN QUESTIONS See Back Pagt 1.

AMERICA AT WAR DAY-BY-DAY 20 Years Ago, Aug. 7 and 8, 1917 — A controversy between William Den man, chairman of the Shipping Board, and Maj. Gen. George W.Goethals, builder of the Panama Canal, general manager of the Emergency Fleet Corp., over the merits of steel and wooden ships, had resulted in the re signation of Maj. Gen. Goethals and the retirement by request of Mr. Den man. Edward N. Hurley, who gave the • nation’s housewives their first effi ] cient washing-machine, was made chairman of the Shipping Board, and Rear Admiral W. L. Capps named to succeed Gen. Goethals. Electric Contract Legally Cancelled (Continued from Page One.) ton, that the Johnston county con tract has not been cancelled. “The news story from Washington Friday in which Carmody was quoted as saying that the action of the board of directors of the Johnston county , corporation in deciding not to accept the tendered REA loan of $310,000 “could not be accepted as a cancella tion of the loan contract looks ridi ■ culous to me,” said Chairman Dudley Bagley of the North Carolina Rural Electrification Authority. “For in the first place, the Federal REA advanc ed only SB,OOO in actual cash to the Johnston county cooperative, all of which, I understand, has been re turned to it since the cooperative signed its new contract with the Caro lina Power and Light Company.” It is understood that Carmody main tains that the board of directors of the Johnston county cooperative did not have authority to act for the 1,- 500 members of “stockholders” with out a vote of a majority of these members or stockholders”. The facts in the case are, however, that the only actual stockholders who paid , their $5 membership fees are the mem bers of the board of directors, with the result that the 1,500 or so mem bers who signed up to become mem bers and., stockholders and to become customers of the REA electric lines if and when they were built, really never became paid-up members of the Cooperative. Accordingly, since a majority of the members of the board of directors of the Johnston cooperative cancelled the contract and rejected the proffered loan, a major ity of the stockholders did the same, since legally the directors and the stockholders are the same, it is point ed out.

They reason that the strike has made it impossible to obtain pilings for the long span across the big sound. It seems that some of the pilings must be as long as 102 feet and that it is impossible to get them elsewhere than from the Pacific coast regions. It now appears that there will be an undetermined, but lengthy, delay in completion of the bridge. A State official, who asked not to be named in connection with the re mark, coined an alliterative and, some think, apt phrase when in discussing the Johnston county rural power fur ore he described the Federal REA of ficials as more interested in “litiga tion than in lights.” Wake county’s Young Democrats had the time of their young (though some were not so young) lives at their election of officers Thursday night. There were two slates and a. bristling battle over candidates, a flurry of motions to table or for other parlia mentary and a veritable flood of oratorical eloquence. Finally Miss Vergilina Griffis, vice president for several years, was elected presi dent over Dick Telfair, her mere male rival. Miss Griffis looks like a beauty contest winner and sold more Jack son Day dinner tickets for more mon ey than anybody in the United States. The prize puzzle of the meeting, however, was propounded by a de termined-looking gentleman who rose solemnly to demand: “Mr. Chairman, I desire to know what is a Young Democrat?” Mom Mimskuu.
