Gates’ Aid, Enemy At Hand ■ Another of a scries of article': written. especially lot The star by SV I White, county historian.) On Sunday morning October kf. , the patriot army left Quaker fJIad lows to continue the hunt for Colo n! Ferguson. They passed Pilot mo ih I tain, near the present village of Brindlctown, and after marchlne for 18 miles they discontinued tpci.’ journey (hat afternoon on acco.mt of a rain storm. The Whigs made their camp in a gap in the South Mountains near the place where the heads Of Cane and Silver creeks in terlock each other, and not very far front the scene of the fight which nad occurred between the forces of McDowell and Ferguson some three weeks before. The next day Monday,-the wea'.b j cr was Very unfavorable, and some important matters were decided! among the officers, while the army remained in camp. In the first place. It was agreed that a genera! should be sought to command the l oops. No higher officer than tr-e "olcnels was connected with ';s force and it was thought best to procure a general if possible. Cel onel Charles McDowell volunteered !o \isit General Gates to see if that commander would sent one of his subordinate generals to command the little army of mountain patriot. While Colonel McDowell was gone an this mission, his soldiers were to be commanded by his gallant broth• rr. Major Joseph McDowell. . j But there was still another lint-! ter to be settled by the patriot of* j fleers. Who was to command the; army until Colonel McDowell could; procure a general, if lie succeeded In J retting an officer of that rank to! be their commander.’ Of course; "tie of the colonels must lie chosen temporarily to lead the force until 1 a general arrived, if one did. Col or el Shelby made a motion that | Colonel William Campbell of Vir ginia be honored with this position v. hich mec with the approval of tne ether officers. So It was decided J that Colonel Campbell should com mand the rmy. but his course *■! action each day was to b approv ed by the other colonels. It was supposed that Colonel Pergusc i was still at Gilbert Town wfcfeh 10 or 18 miles south of the patriot camp near the head-: v aterx of Cant and Sib or Creeks As the Ait.ericELas; did not know of the eastward inarch cf Ferguson’s army. Colonel Cleveland delivered the following address to the Whig soldiers on the morning of October 3rd: "Now, my brave fellows, I have come to tell you the news. The enemy is at hand and we must be up end at them. Now is the time for every man of you to do his country a priceless service*—such as shaU lead your children to exult In tne fact that their fathers were thP conquerors of Ferguson. When the pinch comes, I shall be with you. But if any of you shrink from shar ing in the battle and the glory, you can now have the opportunity of backing out, and leaving: and you shall have a few minutes for con sidering the matter." Not a man in the whole army showed the ‘‘white feather.” “I am heartily glad;" said Colohel Shelby to the troops, "to see you to a man resolve to meet and fight your country’s foes.” My next article will show’ the pa triots hot on the trail of Ferguson j Flapper Gone, Dean Reveals After Inquiry Syracuse, N. V.—A ‘'clinic for cn-eds” at Syracuse university has discovered that the flapper is no more. The clinic is the office of the dean of women, and the acting dean, Eugenie Andrus Leonard, spent nearly a year studying the thoughts and reactions of freshman girls to academic pursuits, friend ships, recreation, clothes, religious ideas, vocational aspirations, use of money, contacts with home, and health habits. Some of the clinic’s findings: That 33.5 per cent of the girls smoked In high school, white 41 per cent have the habit In college—a gain of 7.5 per cent in the change from home restrictions to campus freedom. Eighty-five per cent of the first year girls already have decided what their work is to be after grad uation. Twenty-eight per cent of the co eds avowed they had been in love many times; eight per cent said they had had occasional "crushes' on boys; 21 per cent ssid they had been in love twice: 10 per cent said they had loved once; 31 per cent said they never had been in love Sixty-two per cent said their mothers agreed with their opinions about '-Hacking" and "petting.

Time* Sat* South Will Hardly Crawl Under Cover With Senator. Washington.—Senator Morrison’i. views on the Democratic outlook ti 1932 v.-on him editorial mention in tho New York Times, in substance says that While the south will not be inclined to "crawl under tlie cov ers with Senator Morrison” It is re signed to sticking with the party whatever happens. The Times boldly predicts that even with a wet Democratic candi date in 1932 there will be no bolt ing In the south and that the party will stick together hopeful of victory remaining ns Senator Morrison says, "Democratic and dry.” After reviewing the political sit uation In the south and connecting up the senator's statement, the Times concludes: "The death of Senator Overman brought Mr. Morrison to Washing ton by appointment. This gave him an opportunity to gain publicity for his views. Were there no such thing jas a lame duck session, the spokes man from North Carolina would be [Joslah W. Bailey, who was elected overwhelmingly against Senator Simmons in November. "But Mr. Morrison does not in tend to remain in the appointee class: a special election is coming at which he will presumably be a can didate for the seat he now holds. It is rare chance for him to make some hay. Even though the party wheelhorses won't eat it,. North Car olina can see the stack.” Patterson Springs Community News (Special to The Star.)
