Scu0oL MATTERs.- At the School
Election in this District, on Saturday last
three good Trustees were elected ms fol-
lows: VIM. |. llupp, l year; NJ. f.
Griffin, 2 years r. Clifford, 3 years.
There was no opposition, bat even in this
case the vote was shamefully small, in
dicatng that our people do not take the
interest in school matters their importance
demands. All three Departments of the
Public School closed on June 30th for the
Summer vacation. 1t has been suggest
ei, and with very good cause, that the
School buildings in Woaverville are
qIsglace to the community, and that
something should be done to procure
new School-house which should bo eligi-
by located and made attractive and
pleasant. Everyone who reads this will
agree that that is just what is required,
and we are of the opinion that that is Just
what can be obtained if the matter is once
started. Let the new Trustees take the
subject in hand and devise some means of
raising funds for this purpose. 1t is not
10 be expected that the whole amount
necessary can be raised at once, out
something can be done now, and more at
another time. A fund once started can
be added to from time to time until sufti-
fleht Is realized. If the project is entered
INTO with proper spirit-and we have no
doubt 1t will be-a years time will be
enough to raise the money to build re-
spectacle school house-ono that will be
an honor to the community and bene-
hctlon to the hundreds of little ones who
are growing up around us. Start the ball
rolling, gentlemen.

FlREIN CHINATowN.-Abo 6 o'clock
Thursday evening, All Fong, a Chinese
store keeper, who lives in the first mud
house below Martins stable, was drawing
alcohol from 4O-galion barrel. Being
nearly dark, he very foolshly lighted a
match to see if the measure was full the
alcohol ignited, and the barrel exploded,
setting the store on fire, and burning
himself ana two other Cinnamon and a
China woman, who were standing near.
The cry of fire was raised, but by the
time any whites got there the front of the
store was in flames and small bomb bard
ment going on among the fire-crackers
and bombs. The iron doors were quickly
closed and in one hours time the fire was
smothered. The doors were opened and
water plentifully administered, probably
doing much more damage than the fire
did. In the meantime the wooden roof
of the building and frame shed in the
rear were torn down so as to prevent the
FIRE spreading, in the event that it should
break out. ~ good deal of foolish work
was done at this fire, as at all others,
showing that an organization, no matter
how crude, would he n good thing at
fire. As it is now, everybody seems to be
"boss." One says "do this" and an
other says "do that" and as a conse-
qucuce, everything is done and nothing
is done. A bucket Company, with
Foreman and Assistant, would be great
advantage, and if we can have no more
extensive fire department than a dozen
men with buckets and recognized lead
er, let Us have this, and then fire can be
fought to some purpose. All Fong is
dangerously burned, having inhaled con-
siderable steam and gas the others are
not SO badly injured. Loss of merchan-
disc and damage to building estimated at
$1,000.

Fort MeHenry-An Incident in its
History.

There is an interesting incident coanec-
ted with the bombardment Of Fort McI4en-
ry and the Star-Spangled Banner" that
waved over the Fort during the stormy
days Of September, 1914, which is known
to but few of our citizens, and, as far as
can be learned, has never before been pub
lished. 1t may be well to state before GO
ing into an extended narrative, that the
flag which defed the British upon their
approach to Baltimore in 1914, and iiutter-
ed in the breeze while they were pouring
bombshells towards the garrison that de-
Tended the stronghold, is stiIl in existence,
being in possession Of member Of the
Armistead family, Mrs Appleton, Of New
York, daughter Of General Armistead the
valiant defender of the Fort.
General George Armistead was on his
way to Washington to deliver to the Gov
ernment the trophies Of war captured at
Fort George, when the news reached him
that the enemy was marching on to Balti-
more. He hastened to the National Cap
ital, presented the evidences Of his victory
in the North to the Secretary of War, and
in obedience to orders returned to Balti-
more, where he took command Of Fort Nc
Henry. His wife accompanied him during
=.
all his campaigns, and was also with him
at the Fort during its bombardment. She
being upon her arrival at Fort McHenry
upon the eve Of accouchment, a special
suite of rooms was set apart for her at one
of the buildings in the place. The Gener-
al, while expecting to become father,
had, on his passage through Baltimore to
Washington, remained long enough in the
city to order garrison flag to be manufac-
tured, which he determined to hoist on the
morning Of the child's birth over the build
ing where that event would take place.
On the night of the 10th of September,
while General Armistead was encouraging
the men under him to preserve brave
heart, and give the enemy warm recep-
tion on his approach, the expected child "a
daughter) was born. Even before the dawn
Of morn the new flag foated triumphantly
over the Fort, being unfurled by the hap
py father himself, in honor Of his daugh-
ter's birth, and there it remained during
the siege and until the British evacuated
the locality. During the bombardmsnt the
flag was mercilessly dealt with by the Brit
ish, but torn and tattered as il was, it was
reverently preserved in the Armistead fam
lily.
At the death Of General Armistead il
came into the custody of the widow, and at
her demise in 1861, il was found that the
relic Of the bombardment Of Fort McHenry
was bequeathed to the daughter on the
morn of whose birth it had first seen the
light of day The child had then grown
to woman, and is now well-known
member of New York fashionable society,
Mrs. Gecrgiana Appleton by name.

The moderns who are showing such ex-
travagant taste for art have by no means
reached the appreciativcness of the an.
clients. Zeuxis grew so rich that he
refused to sellmore pictures and gave them
away to cities and Nicias declined an
offer from Attalus of Els, 900 for single
picture. Appells received 95,00O for
portrait of Alexander, and gave f12,5O0
for each picture Protogenes had in his
studio. Julius Caesar gave 100000 for
two pictures of single figures, one Ajax
and the other Medea; and M. Agrippa
paid to the municipality Of Cyzicus f10,-
600 for two more. Lucius Mummius re-
fused f52, 900 for picture Of sFather
Bacchus," which he had seized in Greece,
and Tiberius gave 10000 sesteria, or
nearly half a million, for picture by
Parrhasius. Cicero argued that verres
had compelled Heius, rich Sicilian, to
part with little bronze Cupid by Praxi-
teles because Verres bought it for only
f1 ,063 and Nicomedes offered to pay of
the public debt of Cnidus-agaod era
ingcas," says Pliny---if the citizens would
give him Pnxiteles' statue Of Venus in
return, and was refused because il was the
glory of the city. sBut what shall we say
of Lolita Paulina, the rival Of Agrippina,
whose dresses alone were valued at f332.-
916?" Nero gave nineteen millions in
presents rather more than Louis Quatorze
spent upon Versailles and "there was
Pallas, the curled darling and lover Of
Agrippina who was enormously rich, aud
to whom Juvenal alludes as a type Of
wealthy men, in the line, ego posadeo
plus Pallanto ct Lieinio." He left a
handsome estate in land-I speak only Of
land now--of some f2,921, ,s75. Then
there was Seneca, the philosopher aud
moralist, who always preached the virtues
of poverty and self,dcnial and profsssed
the virtues Of stoicism, who left about the
same amount, given to him in great part,
| suppose, by Nero and Lentulus, whose
real estate amounted to about f3 3,22s, ,16S;
and Isodoros, who disposed by viii Of 416
slaves, $3.50 yoke Of oxen, and 257 900
other cattle. These were all fairly wen

Sort HANDS AND HEAVY Pay
Zone of the great causes Of hard times. y
says the keen observer, p. I. Barnum, the
renowned Snowman, "is the number Of
soft hands waiting for light work and
heavy pay" Young men are not willing
to do what their prosperous fathers did
before them. They wish to begin where
their fathers leave Of, and II win not be
strange il they leave Of pretty near where
their fathers began. The successful men
Of middle age, the men who have . front
rank among our merchants, whchanics,
manufacturers, and fnanciers, were, many
Of them, at the foot Of the ladder gen
GRAFTON ago, and they have reached the
top by their own exertions- many Of them
bearing very heavy burdens all the way.
The men who succeed them will be men
beginning as they did--men who are not
afraid to work hard, aud with but little
compensation at first beyond the business
trimming they thus acquire.

SALT MINES OF LouIsIANA,-One Of
the most wonderful salt mines in the world
is located on the Island Petit ,Anse, ST.
Mary's Parish, Louisiana. It was discoy-
cred in ls62iby the Confedefates while
attempting to deepeu'a sal, spring. The
workmen struck what they supposed 10 be
a rock, but whichish examination proved
to be bed Of solid and almost pure rock
salt. II has since been ascertained that
the bed is sixty feet or more in thickness,
and covers an area Of l44 acres. The
salt Of commerce Is derived chiefly from
saline wells, Or sea water, crystal rock salt
being comparatively rare. Mines exist in
Austria, Spain and scme other countries,
but none Of them yield as pure product
and with 50 little expenditure Of labor as
the Petit Anse Mine.
