Tt % o'clock the fnn began b.v Neptune „ T her followers, including a trains clowns and a band that would do credit ; r circus, marching around Xp deck three times and descending 51 lower deck where the caridi Sates"were invited.

Ti head over heels into a pool of water where some fierce looking sea animals Hueked them awhile. These hilarities uvre carried on till after ten o'clock. Fridav, July 25th. All are jubilant ♦,vkv over the glimpse of a small Land, also a little sight, of Brazil. We met a cargo vessel bound for Boston, the tirst vessel we have passed in sight . of on our wav out. though we have j hiida wireless from some vessel al most everv dav. Saturday. July 2Hth. VVe sighted laud a?ain today. We had a good view of Pernabuco, a city of 150,000. The Bia/iiian coast surely looks prom ising. and we are eager to see more of Sunday, July 27th. Oh, the ecstasy of our hearts This morning to see rows and rows of cocoanut trees, bunches of banana trees, and the most beauti ful palmrees lined up against what appeared to be snow capped hills, but which are really great white sand plains, equally as pretty as our snow capped mountains in the home land. We stand en deck and gaze hour after hour perfectly enrap ured at the biautifui scenery. About two o'clock we anchored in "the bav at Bahia, and staid till 8:30 p. m. We had several passengers for this port atßd a great amount of freight which was loaded by derricks into small cargoes and sent ashore. A score or more Brazilians came over to the Vandyck and came aboard to meet friends and loved ones. They seemed to be of the upper class judging from their up to date clothes and gorgeous diamonds One prinoe lv looking old gentleman with high silk hat, gold headed cane, etc., wore a large ring which was set with three very large diamonds around his cravat, and several other diamonds on his fingers. If any of the home folks are thinking about locating in Brazil, 1 would suggest if they desire to "get rich quick" that it can be done by es tablishing a confectionery store. For every Brazilian who came aboard bought from 1 to 1-2 dozen boxes of candy "because it could be bought sc cheap on ihe ship", and ordinary stick candy sold at about 60 cents per pound on the ship. Bahia is beautiful indeed, and certainly has the appearance of a land "flowing in milk and honey". There is the old city along the shore and back of it and far above it on tiie tableland is the new city which Is reached by elevator or ißiclined raii . way. At dinner we were served with mangoes and Bahia oranges. Man goes look a little like a very large pear except the skin is a pea green and the meat a deep yellow. Monday, Ju'y 28th. All have been busy today packing and getting things in shape for landing. Tuesday, July 29th. The most im portant event today was the distri bution of the prizes after the week of sports. There were $135.00 worth of prizes given. Charles Wesley won a pretty silver and enamel pin in shape of a pilots wheel for the potato race. Gertrude and Irene received little silver loving cups for all the smaller children on board were given cups. Wednesday lulv 30th. Words are wholly to describe the matchless teauty our eyes have be lif'i this uav. We got up early and were on deck by six o'clock, (which is wfure day here) and were ready to Qnnk in the new and wonderful scenery. We had read numerous de scriptions of the beauty of Rio's Bay and many had told us about it all un til our expectations were at their high est ebb. But in spite of all *e had heard we were not disappointed for a Mument, No, indeed! It surpassed by iarany picture we had even dreamed oi seeing. Sugar Loaf is even grander than v\e expected her to be, so Cor cuvada, Tijuca and all the rest of the ceebratcd mountains. The bay is ailed with these huge peaks that seem jo have arisen cut of the water. Out n the bay is a magui cent govern ment building on an island just large j. n ? u ?h for the building which makes ' as if the building were resting on the water. We anchored out in i"W.«°nic distance atiout 7 o'clock '"a waited for the health officers and • om officials to come aboard. Soon of liad anc l lo red a launch full uuo missionaries came out to meet g ;i I c ®L nie aboard and all of us were as ,to our respective temporary jmes by the time we reached shore, about ten o'clock. We a 1 loath to bid the good ship anuyck goodbye for she had carried n .s , f no °th!y and pleasantly to our * home we had come to feel she ~f, a p art of our own home land and lmi i a lee 'ing of leaving the last foeland friend when we stepped Ym- t. on anew and untried heath. ho.'- 1 , . strange and indescribable autiful tilings all about us so tilled timn» wonder that we had little fi.r'ti forebodings.

We never arpri, orse .' even llie finest carriages thpro y Un v mules. However, ifainru are « utos ' auto-trucks, taxicabs I ore, York canuot excel Rio THE HICKORY DEMOCRAT in autos, and such a rate they drive! Fortunately Rnost of the prin cipal drives have a little park way through the center and the autos going in opposite directions are required to run on opposite sides of drive. Then they are going constantly in both di rections, making it almost impossible to cross the street Tliey sav they do run over many peopla The residences ire novel to us as any tiling else. Very few have even the smallestpiaza, but at! are built of brick and cemented over and painted white, grey or pink, or built of rile and all have tile roote- Some are built of the most beautiful granite and marble, all have stone or marble steps and windows and door facings. AH have many windows twice as large as the average win dows in the states. Instead of sash there are glass shutters opening in side and blinds opening outside. There is never a chimney, all cook with gas or coke stoves. They tell us when we go home again we'll smother in the low dumpy houses. Here all have very-high ceilings. If the Wool worth building, New York, had 55 stories as high In proportion as they *re built here it would surely almost touch the moon. Every home that caRR boast a yard (garden, as it Is call ed here) at all has a beautiful one with the most beautiful plants and al ways a ten foot Iron fence and a lock on the gate. The poorer homes usual ly open on the street and in that case have not the fence and gate. But you never see one with any garden at all without the fence which is always a very ornaßuentat one. The Aveneda Buir Mar Is the street along the sea front for miles and RUIIPS ARID is the most picturesque drive in the worlds VVe are located at present about a block off this street. There are nu merous beaches where the children enjoy the saRRd, the shells, etc., but I can't tell you all of it in this "so call ed diary". I will contißiue it in my letters from time to time. Lime Again. To The Democrat: Farmers who use lime or ground limestone thia Fall should not fail to remember that lime or ground lime stone is not a complete fertiliser. All plants require phosphorus potash—ni trogen. A soil full of organic matter ->r humus, lime and magnesium as the principal elements and conditions present in the soil Riecessary to the best and most profitable plant growth. In Bulletin 97 of the Temiessee Ex periment station is tiie following statement of reasons known why an ample supply of carbonate of lime is of special value in cultivated soils. 1 quote as follows: "One is that it is required for plant food, another is that it neutralizes soil acids, which would be injurious to plant growth, espec ially to the growth of legumes, sucli as clover, alfalfa, etc., and a third rea son Is that it is essential to the acti vities of many kinds of useful hacter ia, Including those which gather ni trogen from the air independently of legumes. This last item is of much practical interest, for at the Rotham stead station it was found that while a soil poor in lime gained in nitrogen to some extent wtien laid down to grass, the limed soils gained much more and this too whether the grass was removed for hay or pastured, and also whether legumes were present or not present. A fourth reason is that carbonate of lime plays an important part in the mechanical conditioßi of a soil. In particular its effect is to gran ulate the soil so that if heavy it be comes more open and porous and loses much of its sticky nature. On the other hand, granulation may improve a too open soil, which is made more re tentive of both water and plant food. These mechanical effects will become evident gradually, with the continued use of lime, also the amount required to produce the best results depends on the nature of the soil, whether heavy or light." The soils of Catawba coun ty need lime very much and will nev er produce the best possible results until lime is used, but farmers must never expect that lime alone wilt do everything towards soil-building and profitable corn production. Lime will do its part and do it well, but all the other elements and conditions of plant life must be presetit. If these condi tions are not present then the best re sults will not be obtained. H. K.

A. Montgomery, Hon. C. B. Watson, Capt. D. C. Waddell, Capt. W. F. Utley, and Col. J. A. Long. The members of the North Carolina Historical Commission are:-Col. J. Bryan Grimes, Mr. r. M. Pittman, Dr. D. H. Hill, Mr. W. J. Peele, and Mr. M. C. 3. Noble. Mr. R. D. W. Connor is secre tary of the Gettysburg Oommis snn. . This Commission visited the battlefield of Gettysburg during the recent semi-centennial cele bration there, and assuming that the results of their work is* of interest to every Confederate soldier of North Carolina, the Commission intends to prepare ' a full statement, accompanied by maps, official reports, affida vits, and other evidence of the part taken by North Carolina troops in the battles around Gettysburg". That is to say, the Commission propose to prepare and publish a complete docu mentary history of North Carta lma's part *>n that great battle field, believing that such publi cation will enable future histo rians of the Great War between the States to form more correct conclusions as to the part borne by North Carolina soldiers in the three days battle at Gettysburg. Our purpose in addressing this letter to you, therefore, is to re quest your assistance in this work. We wish tb secure from every Confederate soldier in the State who has even the slightest knowledge of the part taken by our troops in that battle, a state ment, preferably in the form of an affidavit, of what he knows. By making such a statement and mailing it to Mr. R. D. W. Con nor.Secretary of the Commission, Raleigh, N, C„ you will be per forming a valuable service to the memory of the Confederate sol diers of North Carolina. It is important that whatever state ment you have to make should be sent in at the earliest possible date. Very truly yours, W. A. MONTGOMERY, Chairman. R. D. W. CONNOR, Secretary.

Washington, Sept. 28—The decis ion of the executive committee of the Progressive party to place candidates in the field in every congressional dis tricts in next year's congressional elec tions is.an important political develop ment and means the ultimate disap pearance of the Republican party, if the plan is adhered to in 1914 and for the national campaign in 1916, in opinion of prominent Democratic poli ticians highly connncted with the ad ministration. ' While,, acceding these Democratic leaders, the program of the Progressive party ro determinedly maintain their national organization and field forces will be additional water on the wheel of the Democratic mill, it will mean that eventually, possibly by the time of the neat presidential campaign, a new political situation must be met by the Democratic parcy. That situation according to the views expressed, I would constitute a single opposition ' party instead of a split Republican party as at present, it being assumed that the Progressives will ultimately absorb a large part of the old Repub lican party.
