Post Office defeated Interstate yes
terday afternoon in a game Of a thou

6 to 5.
The game was started a few minutes
before Sis o'clock and 1t was thought
that it would surely finish before the
usual time. But such was not the
case 1t turned out to be one OF the
longest drawn out affairs of the sea-
son.
The only thing that kept the playing
field from looking like a battlefield
was the absence of the Red Cross
nurses. Four men were accidentally
put out OF commission during the
game. To start it off Kraft, catcher
for Post Office, was hit on the fingers
by foul tip and had to leave the

Interstate. was next. He was hit in
the head by one of Ferguson's shoots

him out for a few minutes, but little
cold water revived him and he went
back into the game. The last accident
happened when Vaughn and Freide
collided at first. These men were not
seriously hurt although Freide bumped
his head and received little scratch
on the knee.
The Interstate boys put up very
poor fielding game. which. in part, was

Some fellow in the eastern end Of
the State has discovered that horse
hairs put in water will develop into
full grown snakes. This has been
common knowledge in Wilkes for the
last century. Back in the days before
snake bite remedy was prohibited the
citizens had individual horse hair
snake factories so that they might
feel justified in taking snake ncdi-
cine at any and all times.

Better Than Pensions.


To the Editor:-The Board Of Edu-
cation, as I am informed, has not yet
decided upon the selection Of a United
States history to be taught in our
public schools. I am glad that our
State is becoming more careful about
the teaching Of history, and 1 think
that eve more depends on the teach
er than on the text book 1t should
not be forgotten that our chool
books for nearly fifty years have
borne the signature or Northern au-
thorship, and tone of inimical
prejudice. With his in mind, is it
strange though startling and deplora-
BILE, to awake to the bitter fact that
many who are employed to teach in
the public schools of this State, have
not a knowledge Of the truth Of his
tory as it pertains especially to North
Carolina, and her confederates Of the
South in their relations with the other
States. By the attempt Of such blind
guides to train the minds OF u
children we are ruined.
Much to preserve and disseminate
the real history of the war has been
done by the Daughters Of the Con-
federacy and the Confederate Vet
Grams, but t~reacherous text books, IN
informed teachers, and negligent pa
rents have allowed the little foxes"
to creep in and spoil the vines. 1t is
a pitiable fact that large numbers Of
young North C~arolinians believe that
the Southern States made war to keep
the negro a slave. How many teach
ers know that he who was the YER
personifcation Of Southern ideals be-
gan to free all his slaves prior to the
war? Do they know this man., Rob
ert E. Lee, as they know Lincoln :?
Not If the school histories have been
the source OF their information. The
story Of the northern prisoners at
Andersonville is told with detailed
horrors, but not a word have these
school books mentioned Of the refusal
by Grant and his government to send
them medicines and food, which the
C~onfederates had no can OF sup
plying, the refusal to exchange, and
tina final refusal, and acme Of cruel
the North when offered without any
equivalent Of exchange.
The Confederate Veterans Of Vir-
ginia have been doing all in their
power for several years to prevent
the teaching of any but true history
in their schools, and l hope that
North Carolina will demand that the
histories used in the public schools
shall contain only the truth as regards
the war. 1t is hard that the Confed-
crate veteran, after fighting through
the war, should find it necessary to
contend among his own people fol
the Justice of his cause. In his ole
age he is beginning to hear his chill
dren adopt the patronizing sentiment:
of his former foes. Such as this: "He
believed he was right, but his sole
object was to destroy the Union fol
the purpose of preserving negro siav.
cry"
