HUGH CALLS T 0 MUSIS CAflDIOATES IT OLD I'JEEKSILE And Many Contestauts Are Working Toward Trip At End ot Summer SURVIVAL OF OLD CUSTOM 'Channel Islander Has RacourM to "Cry for Freedom," a Rello i of the Paat A strange custom, difing back at 'Heafit to Norman times, was revived in Alderney, in the Channel islands. Daniel Sebire Jurst, justicier- elect of Alderney, whose election the royal court at Guernsey'had annulled because he had been sentenced to a term of imprisonment some years ago, raised a clameur de liano, or a 'Scry for justice," against a fresh election by kneeling bareheaded at the entrance of the court house and exclaiming, "Haro! Haro l Harol l'side, mon Prince! On me fait tort" (Help, my prince! I an wronged.) The "clameur de Haro," an an cient custom of "crying for justice," still survives m the Channel islands. With the record which June has already made in the way of hot weather, the first week in Ju ly finds even those bkpsed enough to inhabit the banks of the Pas quotank turning longingly toward thft seashore. Something in the air, or something out df it, not only produces the impulse to reach for a handkerchief and fan as aids toward physical comfort, but impel a wild longing to break the monotonous routine of the season and hie away to new scenes and foreign plasures, torr sakinsr the famiddar haunts brief ly that they may be more beloved upon return. To those who have not lost tne enthusiasm that comes from sim e living and wholesome enjoy merit, the excursion from Eliza- beth City to Virginia Beach on Wednesday offers an opportune ty that will no doubt be syezed with delight. With evervthiug done for the comfort of the passengers that Vwv monairoHc,: rt tha PTPIirsUVn can possibly do, with the cooling, thril ling breezes, just off tne waves, with a nlunse into the merry waiting surfy-and-wath th f ount less amusements tnat Virginia Heach has to offer-this season, a dav may be spent that will1 be looked back upon witn joiiy, jo ful memories for years to come. The train will leave from the mw denot and everyone will want to celebrate its completion in thin M;olhW nnnronriatft way. an -t n j 1 1 r t " There may be other xcprsions throughout the years but only one can be the first to leave from the new depot on Main street Tickets go on sale tomorrow at Reliira and at the Alkrama tbear tre.

In fact, according to his theory so many years would have had to elapse snufe the beginning ol orcranic life that most thinking men could not accept it The age of the earth has been calculated by geolo gists from the aspects of different strata and from fossils very seen- rataly for such a oonciuc prowem. If a person accepted the word of the geologists he could not accept the theory of Darwin. w vries found out that what is called --spontaneous variation" could be much greater than was at flrtt sup posed. He called this rapid. sponUp- neons variation --mutation." Nov, fDontaneous variation is that varia tion ' that takes place in plants or animals in one or two generations. In other words, it is the obsermi difference between certain offspring and their,, parents or grandparents. It was' found that a change of cli mate or environment would cause a very greek Variation in one genera tion.
