October, the most beautiful Of the
fall months, with its glorious sun
rises, Its gorgeous sunsets, and
'bright blue weather." has been a
month in which many famous events
have taken place.
To all Americans the most import
ant event was the discovery Of the
New World by Columbus on the 18th
of October, 1892.
Next comes the printing Of the first
English Bible in 1885. The reading
Of Gods Word is a great privilege
which we enjoy
During the Revolutionary War
many leaders were sent against our
noble George Washington. The last
was Lord CORVALLIS. He surren-
dered at Yorktown, Va, in October,
1882. The soil Of South Carolina
has been made sacred by many bat
ties which were fought during this
war. The battle Of Kings Mountain,
near the line Of South Carolina, was
fought in October. The British wele
defeated.
Congress laid the foundation of
the American navy by appointing a
committee In October, 1916, to build
thirteen frigates.
In October, 1915, the worlds
greatest general. Napoleon Bona
parte, landed at st. Helena, a per-
petual exile.
The first daily newspaper printed
in Maine was begun in October, 1928.
The celebrated Southern poet, Ed
gar Allen Poe, died in October, 1S49,
and Oliver Wendell Holmes, poet
of the North, died in October, 1894,
Lord Alfred Tennyson, the famous
English poet, died October 6, 1892.
Theodore Roosevelt, ex-President
of the United States, was born in
October, 1856.
The most disastrous fire that ever
occurred in our country took place
In Chicago in October, 1871. The
whole city was burned.
In October, 1897, railroad traffic
was almost suspended in Texas on
account of yellow fever
One Of the events that will he
marked down in the history Of Octo-
Der is the big automobile endurance
contest from New York city to Jack
sonville, Fla, called the Glidden tour.
in which three hundred and fifty cars
took part.
OF great interest to all boys and
girls IS All Hallowc' en-, which comes
on the 31st of October.
The greatest Of all events is the
fact that the closing day Of October
marks the memorable beginning OF
the reformation Of the Protestant
church. Martin Luther was the
hero of the Reformation. an event of
which all Lutherans are Justly proud.
Our beloved Confederate general,
Robert e. Lee, died October 12th,
1870, at his home in Lexington. Va.
An event which will prove to be
very interesting to Walhalla and its
people at the present is the fact that
the birthday Of our Superintendent Of
Education comes on October 18th.

Washington, Jan. 11-Admitting
that the North Pole is just as much
lost as ever, and that all future at
tempts to find it must be Independent
enterprises, unaided by his own work,
Captain Robert &C. Peary, the Arctic
explorer, answered a cross fire or
questions at hearing before the
house committee on naval affairs.
He told how he wanted the glory
of the Polar achievement for himself,
declining to let any member of his
expedition. other than the negro,
Henson. go on the last dash with him,
how his publishing contracts had pre-
cluded him from testifying before the
committee last spring, and how mem
bers of his expedition had been pro
hibited from writing about the trip.
Captain Peary was asked to throw
light on why, as naval officer, he
made no report to the navy depart
ment He said he had made some re-
ports to the coast and geodetic sur
vey and had advised the navy de-
partment of that fact. II was his i'm
preston that the superintendent Of
the survey had made report to the
navy. Pressed by Mr. Roberts, Cap
tain Peary said there was a letter OF
bis on file somewhere asking secrecy
for his written report to the survey
as to soundings.
"Why did you not take white mem
bers of your party with you ON the

Captain Peary, replying to repeat

anyone to follow In his footsteps to
