"As to my theory indicated, I have
doubled in working capacity. l have
tested roasted peanuts since this test
began, and have proved them very in
digestible and innutritious because of
their large percentage of albumen.
Peanuts are not an ideal food, and
am not advocating living on peanuts

I have asked the department OF ag-

to modify wheat by cross fertilization,

Speaking Of Judge Bostwick, a Co

He Is remarkable person. He
should have been novelist. AS this
decision about age shows. he has a
peculiar sympathy with the feminine
character. He understands it.
One day heard him talking about
divorce. He was discussing the in

He said compatibility was often a
bad thing. too. He said there was

There is too much compatibility
of temperament about us, James, said
the girl, her lip curling with faint
scorn.
Too much compatibility? But
isn't compatibility good thing?'
asked the puzzled young man.

where those to whose memories the
shafts are dedicated, bled and fell for
Hberty's glorious cause.
For some unaccountable reason the

which the great battles were fought

Thursday. March 15, 1881. when Gen.
eral Greene, after technical defeat.
rallied his forces and put CORVALLIS
to flight

one whit less inspiring than trip
over Gettysburg's blood soaked sod
with one Of the many old veterans
there stationed to graphically point
out and describe the scenes of car.
mage there enacted. On March 15,
1871, Lord CORVALLIS, fresh from the
conQuests of South Carolina and
Georgia. advanced to Guilford Court
House. About ten miles distant he
met General Nathaniel Greene. COM
manding the American forces. Roc
ognizing in the latter's maneuvering
a challenge to battle he went forth
to meet him and pick up the gauntlet
commander.
The American forces at this time
consisted of 5,688 men.
The British forces were not 80
strong In point of numbers, but each
and every man was disciplined and
trained for war, seasoned by battles
on the continent as well as in Ameri
ca, equipped with the best arms made
in that era and led by brave and skill
ful officers, each finished tactician
and well trained soldier. The battle
ragged with varying fortune. No Spar
tan ever fought with more valor than
did this little band of patriots, and
whereas Greene lost the field, yet he
gained signal victory. inasmuch as
CORVALLIS, after inspecting his forces
found ranks SO depleted and the sur
vivors so sore distressed that he
hastened on to Wilmington with
Greene hot on his trail. There took
ship and with his survivors embarked
for Yorktown, where in October 18th
he met his Waterloo.
With such victory as Greene's won
within few miles of the growing and
prosperous city of Greensboro it is
little wonder that her foremost citi-
| zens evince such keen interest in
| the field. Not only are arches, monu.
ments and shafts there to be found,
but the old road across which General
Greene deployed his two lines of mill
tia and one of regulars. still remains
| Up this road CORVALLIS marched at
the head of the Queens Guard, Scotch
Fusileers and the bloodthirsty and
mercenary Hessians. A string of gran.
lite boulders marks the line of the old
rail fence behind which the North
Carolina militia awaited the approach
of the enemy. Each and every strate
gic point is marked and preserved and
the general topography of the field is
as 1t was on the day of the battle
and thus the progress of the struggle
can be easily traced.
Many relics of the battle here fought
are to be found in the little museum
at the entrance of the battle-ground
proper. Also scores OF relics of othe,
Revolutionary fights. and those of the
colonial period are here to be found.
