THE TWENTIETH CENTURY.
Mathematical Demonstration From
Maui of Time of Beginning.

EDITOR STAR:-Doctor Bishop, in
his article trying to show that the goth
century has begun insinuated that he
would be willing to be proved wrong
and I will try to do so.
Our Christian era is supposed to date
from the birth of our Savior. History
shows however that an error was made
in the chronology and that our Savior
was actually born several years before.
However, many children were born on
the morning of the first day of the year
l or the first year of the first century.
We will select one and will call him
Peter.
When Peter was one year old he had
passed his first year and was about to
enter his second, the year 2. When he
was so years old he had passed his 50th
year and was about to enter his 51st.
When he was SO years old he was NOT
yet 100 but had only passed his 99th
year, and the Tooth year OF Peter and
of the first century was still to be lived
out. The century was not complete un-
til Peter was fully 100 years old and
ready to enter his 101st year.
If this is true of the first century,
and it takes 100 years fully to be COM
plete and ended" to make a century,
II Is true of all the centuries, the 10Th
as well as the rest.
If Peter had lived to be 1899 years old
he would have lacked one year of be-
ing 1900 years old. He will be 1900 years
old one year from that time, when he
would be ready to greet the 19Olst year.
1t takes all the years from / to 100
inclusive to make a century.
Hoping that DR.. Bishop will immedi-
ately acknowledge his bad mathematics
1 remain yours truly,
c. H. DICKEY.

THE ANNE LEE GRAVE.
An Old Letter From Her Mother Read at the
Chapter Meeting at Kittrell.

The September meeting of the c. c.
Blacknall Chapter Daughters of the Con-
federacy was held Thursday afternoon
at the beautiful country residence OF Mrs
Spottswood Burwell in the picturesque
hill country west of Kittrell. Confeder-
ate selections were well rendered by Mrs
Mary Burwell and Mrs. A. L. Capehart .
The president of the Chapter being one
of the committee appointed by the last
State convention to look after the Anne
Lee grave, read an account of her recent
visit to the grave, giving most interesting
information corrected with the sojourn
and death of General Lees daughter in
Warren county.
Miss Olive Allen read a letter OF Mrs
Lees written two days after her daugh-
ter's death. expressing the mothers un-
dying gratitude to North Carolina for
the kindness shown the family in its time
of trial and af1ictiOn. This letter, writ
ten to Mrs. Hayes, of Warren county
was secured in the recent trip. When the
old letter was opened a small square OF
old-fashioned blue ruled fools caps paper
fell out On this was written the auto
graph of General Lee. This autograph
was doubtless given when the Confeder-
ate Chieftain visited his daughters grave
in March, 1870 the last year Of his life.
The chapter meeting was highly sue
cessfu one most excellent repast was
served.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
Tien Tsin, August 26.-Military law
still prevails in Ten Tsin, and the city
has as vet made no effort TO recover from
the terrible shock which it experienced
Everywhere is ruin. The land is devasta-
ted, villages wiped out, crops comman-
deered or destroyed and the natives eth
er hiding or killed. 1t would take a wise
crow to fly down the valley of the Pei-Ho
without carrying its rations. Nothing is
left of this once populous and flourishing
region save roofless huts. fallen walls
and devastated gardens. No sign of life
is to be seen outside of the city except
the scattered outposts, and within the
walls there is only soldiery.
Here the Russians and Japanese pre-
dominate No one knows the total
strength of either force. but they run
into the thousands. Skirting the river

Preventing Hog Cholera.

Rules for the prevention of the fall
outbreak Of cholera in herds Of swine
may be summarized as follows:
L. Cleanliness is essential in yards
pens, water, feed and everything.
2. Give plenty of pure water and dc
away with stagnant pools.
3. Use dlsinfectants such as ashes
lime and carbolic acid.
4. Feed variety, especially such
condiments as charcoal, ashes and
salt.
8. Give as much grass range as
needed.
6. Breed from hogs Of strong con-
stitutlon.
Z. Feed new corn cautiously, If at
oil.
8. Allow no chance of infection from
diseased herds by visitors or dogs.

Portable Racks.

For cattle, good rack may be made
with common rough boards and a few
pieces of scantling. Make them four
or five feet wide, ten or twelve feet
long, and two feet deep; have four by
four inch scantling in the corners, and
also In the center of the ends, running
up twelve or fifteen inches above the
top Of the rack; to the latter nail in a
center partition lengthwise; thus you
have a double rack where cattle will
eat contentedly.
Do not have the end boards or pieces
of .scantling reach down as low as the
side boards and then by rounding up
the ends of the side boards, after tho
manner of sled runners, the racks may
be easily drawn from one place to an.
other.
