DIR. AND MRS. ROY z. THOMAS
Leave For the Summer-Pleasant
Visit to Charleston-Thence to
Fredericksburg

DR.. and Mrs Roy L. Thomas, Of
Newberry college faculty, left on
Wednesday for quite delightful trip
up the Hudson and other points Of
interest among the picturesque seem
cry of that portion Of New York
State.
From Newberry they went to Char
lesion, S. c., where they were to be
the guests Of the captain Of vessel
at that port, and from whence they
sailed by the Clyde line to New York.
They intend spending about ten days
in New York city sight seeing, and
will then go up the Hudson, and on
to Boston and will visit in the course
Of their trip Harvard, Yale, Columbia,
and Princeton universities.
After this charming trip is ovet
they will come down to Fredericks-
burg, Nd, and spend the remainder
of their vacation there with relatives.
Fredericksburg of itself is very
historical place, being only 30 miles
from the battlefield Of Gettysburg and
IL miles from Antietam, and the place
where General Lee made his famous
address on his way into battle. 1t is
also the scenes Of the home of Barba-
"a Frietchie, who Whittier makes a
heroine in one of his war poems as
the old woman who placed a United
States flag in her window when the
Confederate troops were marching
through the town. DR.. Thomas says,
however, this cannot be authenticated,
and has very little Of the semblance
of truth to it. He says there was a
woman named Barbara Frietchie hv-
ing at that place during the war, but
that she never. did what Whittier
claims she did. He says her house
is still standing and is frequented by
many visitors.
Before leaving DR.. Thomas said
that the lyceum course for the college
next season was to be especially fine,
and this will be matter of pleasing
interest to the people OF Newberry.

The Atlanta papers have gone into
the matter with much enthusiasm and
already a great impetus has been
given to road building. In Fulton
county they have put the convicts on
the roads an devery important road

a first class highway.
In driving over one Of these roads
on a recent visit to Atlanta. the diff
ference in the appearance Of the
homes and the country generally was
very noticeable the moment you left
the Fulton county line and struck the
old highway which has not been i'm

the macadamized roads seem to have
caught the spirit Of improvement and
their homes and the gardens in front
of them were in marked contrast tc
those along the road which had moi
been improved.

State Department Officials
Have Nothing to Say
About Matter.
MAY GIVE POWERS
TO REVOLUTIONISTS
Estrada Party's Delegate to
Washington Has Been
Consulted.

At the State Department today there
was complete silence as to the Nicara-
guam situation.
The officials take the ground t1at
there is nothing more to say in view
of their well-known determination to
get rid of President Zelaya as a dis
turbing element in Nicaragua.
The Administration still holds to It's
course Of making zelaya realize he is
not as powerful a person as he be-
Heves, and to wipe him or the official
map as eRectually as was Castro put
away.
1t was reported today on excellent au-
thority that representatives Of the
State Department have been in consulta-
ton in the last few days with SeuOr Sal
vadOr CastrilIo, who is in Washington
representing the Estrada party in Mic
aragua. This Is the clearest indication
possible this Government means to get
rid of ZeIaya even II 1t be at the cost
OF elevating his opponents TO power.
The State Department. however, has
not let up at all IN its efforts to aScer-
tain all the facts connected with the
execution OF Groce and Cannon. which
was the cause of the present trouble
For this reason, there may be a delay
Of several days before further an
nouncement is made by the department
Telegraph communication with NiCar-
aqua is uncertain and it Is figured that
the American vice consul at Managua
will have some difficulty In ascertain
ing the facts desired by the department.

first from the Des Moines, which IS at
Greytown. The Tacoma. which was at
