TODAY’S YESTERDAYS
Sept. 6. 1620 —The 180-ton three
master Mayflower sailed from Ply
mouth in command of a pirate, Capt.
Thomas Jonosfi hound supposedly for
Virginia. Its 102 passengers were
destined to be bet down against their
will in the second New England in
America. (The first New England was
in California).
You’re wrong if you believe” the
passenger list which has been of more
interest to posterity than any other
in modern history,” as Marquis Janies
describes it. was composed wholly of
Pilgrims. It wasn’t. Included among
the 102 were 10 servants, one profes
sional soldier (Miles Standish) one
cooper (John Alden) who didn't in
tend to remain in the New World,
and four London orphans bound out
to labor without wages until they
would be 21.
The hull of the Mayflower is today
a barn in Ireland! This is reported
by Henry D. Smith. Atlantic City. N.
J.. driven ashore, the hull was pulled
up into a farm, turned over and doors
and windows cut into it. Its timb
ers have withstood the ravages of
time stoutly.
Sept. 6. 1696 —Capt. William Kidd
sailed from New York in the 287-ton
galley Adventure, with a crew of 155,
commissioned as a privateer against
the French and against pirate? in the
Indian Ocean. Upon his return in
1707, he himself was accused of piracy
and hanged.
Yet his financial partner in the
expedition were Robert Livingston,
founder of the great New York fam
ily; Lord Oxford, first lord of the Ad
miralty; Lord Shrewsbury, the Earl
of Bellemont and the King of Eng
land.
Sept. 6, 1757. —Marie Joseph Paul
Roch Yves Gilbert Motier was born
at Chateau Chavaniac-Lafayette in
the mountains of Auvergne, France,
destined to become the Marquis de
Lafayette. ’
He was married at 16 to 13-year
old Adi ienne de Noailles, became an
officer of the French army at 17, a
major-general in the U. S. Army at
20. All his descendents are heredi
tary citizens of the United States
and thus uniquely are citizens of two
countries simultaneously.
THE WORLD WAR 20 YEARS
AGO TODAY
Sept. 6. 1915 —As had been decided
in family council of the Romanoffs,
with the scheming Rasputin making
the suggestion, the Czar himself be
came commander-in-chief of the Rus
sian armies. His able uncle, Grand
Duke Nicholas, was transferred to a
command in the Caucasus.
The announcement was greeted
with approval by the Russian public
at large, for they thought, "The
Czar will get things done, he will
throw out the bureaucrats who are
responsible for the defeats,” but from
a practical standpoint the ezrar could
•iot have made a greater mistake. He
had nut himself on the spot. He had
nlayed directly into the hands of the
pro-Germans, for they knew that he
was utterly without military ability;
while outside of Russia the military
skill of the Grand Duke Nicholas was
everywhere conceded. He was to
give further evidence of it later.
Certainly the tremendous reverses
‘he Russians had suffered could not
be attributed to the Grand Duke. In

fact, his sagacity had made an ord
erly retreat of what could easily have
been a disordered flight and had
thwarted the German hopes of enve
loping the main Russian armies and
crushing the Russian defense.
There can be little doubt now that
when the weak-willed Czar took per
sonal command of the Russian arm
ies, he sealed the fate of his dynasty.
WRITING WRONGS
You’re in error if you suppose.
That Stardivari has never been ex
celled as a violin-maker because of
some miraculous secret now lost.
The same varnish, wood, technique,
etc., were used hv other violin-makers
of his day, with the same excellent
results. The fame surrounding his
name is largely due to an Italian
Tarisio, who was neither a violin
maker nor a musician, who accident
ly became a collector of old-violins
and particularly of those made by
Stradivari. When he had cornered
the market in the latter, he encour
aged the idea that a ’Strad” was the
finest instrument in the world, and
he sold his stock at handsome profits.
This encouraged other dealers to
have “Strads” counterfeited, and the
expose of this fraud only served to
further the idea that Stradivari vio
lins were “tops”.
Great violinists of Stradivari’s time
regarded the German-made Strainer
violins as better!
So don’t get excited if you find an
old violin in your attic labeled Strad
ivarius, It might be worth $3.
What Do You
Know About
North Carolina?
By FRED H. MAY
1. How many manslaughter and
murder cases were tried in North Car
olina during the two years ending
July 1, 1934?
2. How many Federal warships
were engaged in the attack on Fort
Fisher?
3. How did the E’ederal declaration
in 1862, naming medicines contraband
of war, affect North Carolina?
4. Why did the legislature of 1774
prohibit hunting deer at night?
5. When was Mitchell county form
ed and for whom was it named?
6. What common everyday necessiiry
gave early colonists great concern?
ANSWERS
1. From July 1, 1932 to July 1, 1933:
manslaughters 188; first degree mur
der 12; second degree murders 317.
For the twelve next months: Man
slaughters 262; first degree murders
18; second degree murders 349.
2. Fifty warships, carrying 600 can
nons. The naval attack w«us aided by
land forces before the fort was finaly
taken on February 15, 1869.
3. In a large way it shut off sup
plies of medicines and forced the de
velopment of local resources. Poppies
were grown for opium, jimpson weed
for stramonium; and wild rots and
herbs were collected for making med
icines.
4. To stop the killing of horses and
cattle in the woods. Persons convicted
of hunting at night with lights were
subject to a fine of $25,000, one.half
of which was payable to the informer
andthe other half to the church par
ish. In event the convicted person
could not pay the fine he was sub
ject to a jail sentence of two months

5.. Mitchell county was formed in
1881 from Yancey, Watauga, Caldwell,
Burke and 'McDowell. It was named
for Dr. Elisha Mitchell who lost his
life in 1857 while exploring on th»
mountain.
6. Securing a supply of salt was a
great problem during the early days
of North Carolina, and again during
the late war between the states. In
the fall of 1777 Wachovia, now Win
ston-Salem, was out of salt. A wagon
er brought a load in and offered it
at SB.IO per 'bushel. The next day it
was bought. The next few days the
Moravian diary says, “Many came for
salt, buying it by the quart.”
Administration Is
Minimizing Borah
(Continued from Page One.)
chosen (if he was so chosen) for tne
role of a Rooseveltian "Colonel
House” is not altogether apparent.
There has been nothing to indicate
that the present tenant of the execu
tive mansion trusts him to the same
extraordinary extent that President
Wilson trusted the Texas colonel.
Neither has Pope any espe
cial reputation as an expert on over
seas relationships, though a junior
member of the Senate Foreign Af
fairs Committee.
ONE THEORY
One theory is that, whether or not
the administration greatly relies on
the Idaho solon’s judgment, it de
sired to give the impression that ?t
vastly esteems him, in the hope of«
making him overshadow his fellow
Idaho solon, Senator William E.
Borah.
It isn’t, indeed, admitted by the
Democratic leadership that the While
House is more anxious to beat Borah
for re-election next year than it >s
anxious to defeat any other Repub.
lican, in a Democrat’s favor.
Nevertheless, there are many signs
that it particularly desires Borah re
tired.
True, Borah has supported not a
few New Deal policies, but he has
opposed some, and opposed them with
much more than the average sena
tor’s potency.
He has done more harm than good,
in fact, in the administration’s esti
mation.
Besides, he is a dangerous presi
dential possibility,
“DEFLATING” BORAH?
Among other ways of deflating
Borah (if it can be done at all) woula
he the method of making his co-sen
ator from Idaho look, comparatively
bigger than he looks.
The plan seems to have been tried.
It didn’t work very well. Perhaps
it was bungled.
Senator Pope departed for Europe
too soon, with Congress still in ses
sion, able to criticize him.
• • • • '
No Discrimination,
Mr. Barden Thinks
from Page One.)
had been away from the State for so
long, that these matters were not in
his realm. But as to congressional
matters, he talked freely.
"Whether it was apparent down
here or not, Congress tried to enact
?ome constructive and helpful legisla
tion this session from which all the
states will benefit, North Carolina
among them,” Congressman Barden
said. “There is no doubt that North
Carolina as a whole has benefitted
from n #ny of the Roosevelt policies
and benefit still more in the fu
ture. It cannot he denied that the
rotton farmers, the tobacco farmers
and all other farmers have derived
great benefit from efforts made by
the administration to help agriculture
and from the AAA crop control pro
gram. Since returning from Wash
ington to my home district, I have
found that a majority of the farm
ers and others are fully aware of
what the President and Congress
have done to help them and are more
the outline of HISTORY j
solidly back of Mr. Roosevelt than
ever before.”
When asked whnt the trouble was
with the Public Works Administra
tion and the Works Progress Admin
istration in Washington and their ap
parent attitude of discrimination to
wards North Carolina in the approval
of projects for this State, Congress
man Barden said that if there was
any discrimination against the State,
he was ready to go to the mat with
these agencies in an effort to remove
it. But he was inclined to believe
that what now appeared to he discri
mination was due more to ignorance
of conditions here now than deliber
ate intent to deny the State what it
was entitled to
“There are some government offi
cials and employes in Washington
who think they know all about condi
tions in the various states, but who
sometimes dont know as much as they
thin kthey do,” Barden said.
Two Electrocuted By Power
Wires At Home In New Bern
(Continued from Page One.)
done only minor damage.
Mr. and Mrs. David W. Thompson,
of New Bern, were electrocuted early
today when they came in contact with
power lines blown down at their home.
Gale winds blew at New Bern, ana
three homes were burned. Heavy rail
fell.
The storm was accompanied by
scattered tornadoes which seemed to
do more damage than the hurricane.
WJhile high waves smashed sea
walls and melted giant sand dunes
along the coast, several inland com
munities were struck by tornadoes
which uprooted trees, damaged sev-
eral houses and hurt crops.
The officers quarters at Fort Macon
CCC camp were wrecked by winds
and tides, although no noe was hurt.
Fishing settlements along the North
Carolina coast reported virtually no
damage.
Extraordinary precautions were
taken in the sound country north of
Wilmington, which is believed to have
felt the center of the storm.

The governor said Crowell will tak r
charge “just as quickly as possible,
so we can take over operation of the
road without delay.
