Historic Tree Planllnc The "Call," and the "Examiner," newspapers of San Francisco, pub lish accounts of interesting cere monies held in that city, in which North Carolina, as one of the thir teen original Lnited States, bore a part . On October lOth. the 115th. anni versary of Cornwallis' surrender at Yorktown, (in Uie Golden Gate Park.) the Sequoia chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolu tion" planted a tree from, and in historic, soil of each of the thirteen original United States. The trce,from this State, and the soil are thus described: "From North Carolina comes a backberry oak with soil from the Guilford battle ground; from the side of Fort Raleigh on Roanoke Island,, from the spot near Hillsboro where Governor Trvon hune six of the Regulators, from the founda tion of Tryon's colonial "palace' at New Berne and from the grave of Major John Daves of the N. C Continental Line." Besides the battle and those who perished there, the soil from Guil ford represents also the graves of William Hooper and John Penn, two of the signers of the Declara tion of Independence, whose re mains now rest on that battlefield. In planting the trees a silver trowel wa3 used, the handle of which was made of wood of a magnolia tree planted by George Washington at Mount VTernon. The thirteen trees are planted in the form of an arch Pennsylvania appropriately forming the "Keysto; --" of the arch. The soil and tree from our State, were furnished by Mrs. Mary McK. Nash, of New Berne, State Regent of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and it is hoped to sup plement the backberry with a black walnut from llmnoke Island, and the soil with earth from the scene of the Mecklenburg Declaration; from the battlefields of Moore's creek and Ramseur's mill, from the graves of General William Davidson and Uichard Caswell, and other historic spots. In a poem recited on the occasion of the tree planting these lines oc cur: 'For Hillsbro' and Catawba Will pin ut the hackberry tree." Graham Dajtes. Bryan's Escapade. "William J. Bryan is a finished orator," remarked Albert Benson, of Jacksonville, recently. "Ho is now a finished orator in more senses than one; but what I mean is that he is not only eloquent and forceful but also quick to see a point and quicker to take advantage of it. Whenever he is upon his feet he is able to take care of himself in any verbal sparring match which may be ou the bills. "But I remember one occasion when this muster of repartee was completely nonplused and unable to hold his own at a time he seemed to need all the eloquence at his com mand. "It occured mauy years ago, when we both were students at the Illi nois College, at Jacksonville. Pres ident Sturtf vant, of the college. was quite a chicken fancier, and his coop contained many cosUy fowls One night several of us decided that it would be an easy job to raid the doctors hen-roost and have an im promptu chicken feast ou the cam pus. Bryan was the leader in the enterprise. In some way Dr. Stur tevant got wind of the affair and was watching for us. The night was almost pitch dark, and of course we were unaware of the doctor's presence on the scene. Bryan en tered the coop and soon passed out to me a fine rooster, with the re mark: 'Here's Old Spots himself.' "We college boys had nicknamed President Sturtevant 'Old Spots' and always referred to him thus among ourselves. "A moment later a hen was pass ed out to nifj Bryan remarking as he did so: 'Here's Mrs Spots.' Next came a pullet, and Bryan said, 'Now, I take pleasure in presenting to you Miss Spots.' "There-was no interruption and the feast came off as it had been! planned. A few days later we were somewhat surprised to receive an W,JL Douglas 1 C nil material prices.
