I I02JM'?0 Branch Banking & Trust Co. WILLI AMSTON, N. C. Historical Events Rate Mrs. Shipton As Able Prophet V iaioned the Airplane and the Iron Ship Year* Before Columbus' Time ? Back in the days before Columbus discovered America, a Mrs. Shipton sketched a poem in which the pro phecied the airplane, the iron ship and the wars that have followed in due course. The prophecy has been handed down century after century, and -just a few days ago, Mr. Sam T. Everett, Martin County farmer and Churchman, ran across it in a relig ious journal. Mrs. Ship.?n, born in Norfolk, England, and died in Clifton. York shire. in 1449. was so uncanny in her prophecies that they are offered as first offered in her poem published some 25 or 30 years before Columbus started out on his aaring adventure The prophetic poem follows: A Woman's Prophecy A carriage without horses shall go, Disaster fill the world with woe; In London. Primrose Hall shall be Its center hold a bishop's see. Around the world men's thoughts shall fly, Quick ac the twinkling of an tye.? And waters shall great wonders do? How strange, and yet it shall come true, Then upside down the world shall be And gold found at the foot of tree; Through tower hills proud man shall ride, Nor horse nor ass move by his side. Beneath the waters men shall walk; Shall rise, shall sleep, and even talk; And in the air men shall be seen, In white, in black, as well as green. A great man shall come and go. For prophecy declares it so As easy as a wooden boat. God shall be found in stream or stone. In land that is as yet unknown. Water and fire shall wonder do, And England shall admit a Jew. The Jew that once was held in scorn, Shall of a Christian then be born. A house of glass shall come to pass In England?but alas! alas! A war will follow with the work Where dwells the pagan and the Turk. The states will lock in fierce strife And seek to take each other's life; When North shall thus divide the South, The eagle builds in linn's Then tax and blood and cruel war Shall come to every humble door. Three times shall sunny, lovely France Be led to play a bloody dance; Before the people shall be free Three tyrant rulers shall she see; Three rules, in succession, be, Each sprung from different dynasty. Then when the fiercest fight is done, England and France shall be as one. The British olive next shall twine In marriage with the German vine. Men walk beneath and over stream, Fulfilled shall be our strangest dreams. All England's sons Shall plow the land. Shall oft be seen with book in hand. The pool shall now most wisdom know. And water wind where corn did grow; Great houses stand in far-flung vale, And covered o'er with snow and hail. And now a word in uncouth rhyme, Of what shall be in future time: For in those wondrous far-off days The women shall adopt a craze To dress like men and trousers wear, Afatctit off their lovely locks of hair. They'll ride astride with brazen brow, As witches on a broomstick now. Then love shall die and marriage cease. And nations wane as babes decrease. The wives shall fondle cats and dogs, And men live much the same as hogs. In fear and trembling this will do. In nineteen hundred twenty-Six Build houses light of straw and sticks. For then shall mighty wars be planned, And fire and sword'shall sweep the land, But those who live the century through. Flee to the mountains and the dens, To bog and forests and wild fens? For storms shall rage and oceans roar When Gabriel stands on sea and shore; And as he blows his wondrous horn, Old worlds shall die and new be born. a Funeral For Local Colored Woman Held on Sunday ? ? Mahals Lloyd. 50-year-old colored woman, died at her home here laat Friday; following a long illneaa. The laat rites were conducted Sunday afternoon and interment was in the Odd Fellows Cemetery, juat off the Washington Highway. Reforestation In Robeson County Shout* Increase A recent order by G. L.
