The late Levi ID. Coy of Manchester
prepared, In the last years of bis life. a
paper giving the location of the dwellings
and places of business in Manchester,
and the names of the persons who oc-
cuped them, when he first became
acquainted with the town in 1923, with
an account of the changes subsequently,
occurring. Mrs. Coy has now presenei
to the Manchester library "a duplicate of
this record, copied for the purpose by
Miss Julia +. IIawley. The work has
alread been found exceedingly helpful in
the investigation of matters of local in
terest, and it will be increasingly valuable
as time goes on.

COLD WEATHER FOR POULTRY.

Many people in this part of the state
report that the recent cold snap, have
seriously affected the egg production of
their hens. The reason is that poultry
require different food in the cold weather
than in warm. They require more heat
in their bodies, and more phosphites in
their food. Pages Perfect Poultry Food
seems to supply all those needs. 1t

and under novel leadership.
The new leader is an Ulster Presby
terrain, Mr.. +. W. Russell, stanch
Upionist. who held $500 office in the
Salisbury government as secretary to
the English Local Government Board,
until the last election, when he threw up
the office in order that he might be able
to devote himself to the Irish land move
ment. Mr.. Russpll's remedy for exist
ing evils is simple but drastic, namely,
the immediate and compulsory eXpro-
priation of the Irish landlords. Mr. Rus

the framing of land acts, and has been

LIFE AFTER SEVENTY.


Nearly all of these authors who nave
found the years beyond seventy to be
the best of their lives have been very
social in their habits, and have shared
their lives largely with others. Nearly all
of them have been engaged in bene1cent
enterprises. which have fixed their mlnus
upon purposes which lift life over petty
things and selfish frictons. The anti
slavery cause absorbed the attention OF
some of them for many years; various

Sons Of the Revolutions

The North Carolina Society of the Sons
of the Revolution held it's annual meet
ing in the Supreme Court building at
Raleigh on Friday and elected officers
as follows: President, DR.. p. E. Hines;
Vice President, Col. Thomas S. Kenan;
Secretary, arshall Delaney Haywood,
Registrar, Prof D. III. Hill; Treasurer,
H. w. Jackson; Chaplain, Rev. Robert

was decided to defer electing delegates
to the general convention and leave that
matter to the Board of Managers.
One Of the most important matters un-
der consideration at the meeting was the
ratification OF proposed amendment to
the General Constitution, changing the
basis of representation in the General
Convention. Last year the North Caro-
lima Society rejected the proposed
amendment, but at Fridays meeting
the matter was brought up for a second
consideration at the request of Henry
Cadle, Esq, of the Missouri Society
who offered the amendment in the last
convention of the General Society at
Denver Colo. A letter from Mr.. Cadle
was also read, which removed most of
the objections heretofore entertained by
the North Carolina Society. Under the
General Constitution no amendment can
be made except upon the unanimous
ratification of the State societies, and as
a vast majority of the societies have al
ready ratified the proposed amendment,
North Carolina did not wish to take ad
vantage of technicality to thwart the
wishes of so many of her sister socie-
ties, so rescinded her former action and
unanimously adopted the amendment
1t will now have to be ratified by the
The news & observer., 1901-11-17

societies i'm New Hampshire, Virginia
and New Jersey before taking effect. The
amendment will, for the present reduce
the representation in the General Con-
yentlon of the North Carolina Society,
but as the society increases its MEM
bership, the number of it's delegates
will be proportionately increased.
The following resolutions were
adopted:
Resolved That the secretary be re-
quested to gather such historical docu
ments as may be deemed worthy of
preservation and keep the same with
the records of the society, to be exam
ined and published if so ordered.
RESOLVED further, That the secretary
be requested to obtain a copy of the
Dickson Letter, recently published by
James O. Carr, Esq, of Wilmington, for
preservation in the library of the So
ciety."
Several months ago the New York
society sent to the North Carolina So
ciety silver Loving Cup" and this
Gift was acknowledged by the following
resolution:
Whereas, Since the last meeting of
this society, it has been the recipient of
a handsome Loving Cup from the New
York society; and
Whereas, This token of good will and
fraternal consideration is greatly appre-
ciated by this, the North Carolina So
ciety therefore be it
Resolved, That the thanks of the
North Carolina society are hereby ten
dered to the New York society for this
present; and be it further
Resolved, That copy of these reso-
lutions be forthwith transmitted to the
New York society
This resolution of thanks was intro
duced by Alfred Moring, Esq. whose
own father fought under Washington at
Yorktown and was present at the capit-
ulation of the forces under Lord Corn
wallis.
After the adjournment of the meeting
the Board of Managers met and elected
the following new members of the so
ciety: DIR. Francis Moore Clarke, OF
Beaufort; Palmer Cobb, Esq. of Chapel
Hill, and Albert Haigler Brown, Esq,
of Colorado Springs, Col.
