TODAY’S YESTERDAYS ' July 19, 1814 —Samuel Colt was born in Hartford. Conn., destined to run away from school at 13 and ship before the mast as a cabin boy on an East India voyage. On the long trip to Calcutta he evolved the first fire arm with a revolving chamber, carv ing the first one from wood. When he finally patented the revolver at 21, two Army boards decided it was im practical! The Connecticut Yankee obtained funds for the development of the re volver bv traveling about the country as a charlatan chemist. “Dr. Coult.” Texas Rangers were the first to es tablish the weapon’s worth. When finally the Army did come to him for a supply, he didn’t own a single, and had to advertise to get one to serve as a model. Before he died, his six shooter was being used the world over. July 19, 1827 —-'Oliver Hitchcock Platt was born in Washington, Conn., destined to be a Connecticut senator from 1879 to 1905 and write the “platt amendment’’ (to an Army ap propriation bill), which insured that Cuba would be a protectorate and not a possession of the U. S. The senator will get at least a foot note in history as the subject of the first half-tone engraving ever print ed in a newspaper from stereotyped plates—in the New York Tribune, 1897 This is the process that enab les this newspaper to reproduce for you photographs of news events and notables. July 19. 1848—Susan B. Anthony. Lucretia Mott, and other women gath ered in the home of Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stantin in Seneca Falls, N. Y., for the first women's right conven tion. They weren't seeking the right to vote then, but the mere right to speak publicly on public affairs! The movement resulting in the con vention started as a protest against the exclusion of women delegates from an international anti-slavery conference in London. The confer ence ruled that the women might not take active part in the proceedings but could sit decorously behind a screen in the gallery and listen to the men William Lloyd Garrison, sche duled to make the great speech of the occasion, indignantly took a seat be side the ladies and refused to speak at all. FIRRT OF ALL The first kings and queens to be portrayed on playing cards were David, Alexander, Caesar and Charle magne, and Argenis (of Gaul) Esther, Judith and Pallas. But three of these women weren't queens. THE WORLD WAR 20 YEARS AGO TODAY July 19. 1915 —German officials who had been deriving satisfaction from the difficulties encountered by the British government in settling the strike of the South Wales coal min ers, suddenly had troubles of their own at home. In the Leipsiger oVlks zeitung of this date, three Socialties spokesmen—Haase, Bernstein and Kautsky—published a declaration in favor of an early peace. They head ed it, “A Necessity of the Hour.” The o f fieial leaders of the Social Democrat paitv issued a counter-de claration, but in this document it ac- FIRST STAMP WAS INVENTED IM ENGLAND IN 1640 THRU THE EFFORTS OF A ROWLAND HILL AND THE ARTIST,MULREADY...

The chief party organ, Vort warts, which published this counter declaration, was temporarily sup pressed by the government. Nevertheless, the government had to face the fact that the war was be coming unpopular with an increasing number of persons. The massas were daily having more troubles both in finding suitable food within their means, and in getting food at any price. The iron hand that had realt so ruthlessly with Belgium, was now laid upon profiteers, but with a velvet touch. WRITING WRONGS You're just supposing if you believe That the declining birthrate and re duced immigration mean that the pop ulation of the United States is de creasing. , Actually, the population is increas ing, the reasons being the declining death rate and the lengthening of the life span. In 50 years between 1880 and 1930, the population of the U. S. increased 146 per cent, but the num ber of persons over 65 increased ap proximately 600 per cent. And you're wrong if you doubt — That fish can’t sing. There are several varieties capab’.e of producing sounds and one of them, the so-called Mexican canary fish, can make so much noise that it can be heard through the glass and water of an quarium for as much as 10 yards. Their singing is a sort of wail, some thing like a radio crooner. What Do You Know About North Carolina? By FRED H. MAY 1. When was it necessary t 0 sta. tionl policemen in the halls of the legislature to keep down fights? 2. What interesting controversary developed between the general assm bly and Governor Burrington in 1733? 3. What was considered good mer chandising service one hundred and forty years ago? 4. What noted fort in the early life of North Carolina was located near Statesville? 5. Why was William Blount, North Carolinian, expelled from the United States Senate? 6. Whose horse was General Rufus Barringer riding when he was cap tured? ANSWERS 1. The populist legislature of 1897. Quarrels were so frequent and the order in the house was so bad that at times policemen were stationed in the lobbies to prevent trouble. 2. He denied the assembly had any right in the creation of new counties claiming that right solely to himself and his council. The house retaliated by refusing to seat any representa tives from the new counties estab lished by the governor. 3. On December 10, 1794 Robert Donaldson, merchant, of Fayetteville, wrote John Steele, of Salisbury, ac knowledging his order and inquiry for goods. Among the items were some EVERY well established business has what is known as "Backlog Customers.” We have ours. They are loyal, dependable customers depositors and borrowers who keep the wheels of business turn ing.

It was locat ed about four miles north-west of the present City of Statesville, just off the Chipley Ford road, on Fourth Creek. The fort was built by Lieute. nant Hugh Waddell, who had been detailed with a company of militia by Governor Dobbs for that purpose. It was a substantial building of oak logs 53x40 feet, 24 1-2 feet high, contain ing three floors from each floor 100 muskets might be discharged at one time. 5. William Blount, a native of Craven county (now Pitt) was sent to Congress from Tennessee when it became a State in 1796. He was ex pelled the next year for inciting the Creeks and Cherokees to attack Span ish Territory. > 6. He was riding a fine, gray horse he had secured in a trade with Ser geant Ratcliff, of his outfit, the 63rd Regiment (Fifth Cavalry). The ser geant had captured the horse from a Union colonel in a skirmish following the encounter at Roanoke Bridge. The General was so attracted by the hand some oharger that he traded the ser geant his “old chunk of meat” for him When General Barringer was captur ed April the crowd was heard to exclaim, “I’ll be damned if yonder aint my horse.” NOTE—The editor of this feature will appreciate readers submitting au thentic questions and answers, and ideas for use in this feature.

Perhaps some of the flashes from an aimless rubber, neik’s journey may interest you: , Along the docks near the Twenty third street ferry and a crowd gath ered about about the ferry entrance. The gaping, unmistakable stare of disaster oglers. True enough, a man jumped operboard, but been hauled out in time, a cop with a face like John Barrymore admitted. “It’s the heat.” he explained sadly. “The guy probably didn’t hape any other reason except the heat. I can’t say as I blame him. Phew!” The ancient manses that line the streets of Old Chelsea, that sector be tween Seventh avenue and the Hud son in the Twenties, strikes me as a good start for any young man’s paart ment hunting. Old, true, many doubt less with the Niagara type plumbing but vine-hung, too, and pleasant in the dusk with old folks chatting of other times in Manhattan on the stoops.
