LITERARY NOTES.

At the Chinese ball given in her
! honor by her mother, Mrs. o. H. p.
Belmont, the Duchess of Marlborough
appeared as Lady Chang, consort of
one of the greatest emperors of the
Ming dynasty. How the lovely God
dess Chang, as she was known in the
palace would have wondered. even in
the midst of her trouble, could she
have forseen that almost 800 years
after her death, the robe which she
chose to die in should be duplicated
for a festal occasion in a land of which
she, probably, had never even heard.
THE Annals and Memoirs of the
Court of Pekin" (by E. Backhouse and
j. o. p. Bland) gives dramatic ac-
count of her life and the manner OF
her death. When the dynasty was
overthrow, the emperor sent her a
message bidding her commit suicide,
but in the tumult and confusion the
messenger failed TO reach her and the
rebels found her alive in the Palace
of Benevolent Old Age. A list of all
the women in the palace was given to
Ii Yen, a licentiate of Honan Prov
ince. Seeing the senior empress name
al the head of the list, he sighed deep
ly and said: How dare these wretch
ed eunuchs desecrate Her Majesty's
name in this way? She stands too
high for such disgrace. l. who come
from her own province, must save her
from this outrage"
So he hurried into the palace, and
on finding her. babe two handmaidens
lead her to one of the throne rooms,
where he assisted her to mount the
dais Ii Yen then dressed himself in
court robes and made obeisance before
her nine times. Placing her in the
charge of attendants, he hurried away
to find Ii Tzuch'eng. That same eve
ming she succeeded in killing herself.
When they found her body, she was
attired in black silk with gold en-
broidery and full sleeves; her face
was yelled with yellow crepe and her
hair neatly dressed; she looked like a
woman of so Those who saw the
serenity of her face felt as if some
heavenly visitant lowered near them
so happy was she in her death.

Desirable Neutrality

According to a recent news
item, Germany is making a de-
tailed complaint to the neutral
powers in regard to the violation
by England of the declaration
Of London" in regard to absolute
and conditional contraband, the
blockading Of ports, ETC., etc.
This action on the part of Ger
many cannot but be considered
as a strong indication that the
pinch of commercial isolation is
beginning to be telt severely.
With the exception Of cotton
which was recently declared by
the British government not to be
contraband of war, very few
supplies or materials Of any kind
can reach Germany. certainly
rot in quantities that would even
begin to meet the demands,
Another phase Of the situation
is the eagerness manifested by
both sides in their efforts to drag
in to the scrap as many Of the
neutral nations as they can.
Europe's love, especially, for
the United States. has waxed
exceedingly and surprisingly
great since the outbreak Of
hostilities. We are banking
rather strongly on Woodrow Will
son and his policy of ''watchful
waiting" = plenty Of watchful-
ness = and you simply can't give
US too much Of the waiting.

Speeding

OF course it is a case Of lock.
ing the stable door after the horse
is stolen, but to prevent accid -nts
similar to the deplorable affair of
a few days ago, speed regulation
on Roanoke Avenue from Roa-
noke Rapids to the Junction
should be made and en- orced.
Even the county speed law of,
we think, twenty miles per hour,
is broken hourly on Roanoke
Avenue. Two automobile acct
dents in as many weeks certainly
indicates that speed and traffic
regulations are badly needed.
Pedestrians and horse-drawn
vehicles have just as much right
on Roanoke Avenue as automo-
biles and laws protecting them
in their rights should be enforc-
ed. If the people as awhole will
make it their business to report
all violations of the speed regu-
lations and all instances Of reck-
less driving to the magistrates,
we do not believe it would be
long before the Avenue would be
a much safer place for women
and children.
We do not know whether an
effective restriction can be legal
" enforced on that part of Roa-
noke Avenue running through I

Cotton

Perhaps the record breaking
ginning figures, only Indicate
that a larger proportion Of the
crop has been ginned than here
tofore. We hope this is the case
and that the farmers have at last
realized what agricultural stud
ents and experts have been tell
ing them for years. Good roads
and food crops will do more for
the south than any other two
things in the world. OF course,
there is a bumper crop Of cotton
this year, but at the same time,
the big ginning figures probably
mean that the farmers are hurry
ing to get their land picked clean
in order that it can be sown to
food crops. A record breaking
food crop next year will go far
toward wiping out the losses on
cotton of this year.

automobiles in Rosemary, then
the matter should be taken to
the county commissioners, or if
they have no authority in the
premises, to the lcgislaturer.
Pending the securing OF the
needed speed regulations, it
strikes US that vigorous public
sentiment in Rosemary could do
much to remedy reckless driving
through the town. 1t is very
probable that reckless driving
through Rosemary could be stop
ped by securing conviction OF
offenders under the State Auto
mobile law.
tits very evident that some
steps should be taken at once to
remedy matters. OF course, not
all drivers of automobiles on Roa-
noke Avenue are either reckless
or careless, but a great many are
careless and a few are actually
reckless. These lastare the ones
that should be indicted and
brought to court if possible. A
few test cases would do much
towards intoxicating more careful
driving in this community.

tuberculosis Day

Next Sunday is tuberculosis
Day. 80 proclaimed in North
Carolina by Governor Craig and
the nation wide movement has
been heartily endorsed by Presi-
dent Wilson.
All of the preachers in North
Carolina, regardless of denomi-
nation, have been requested to
preach special sermon on tuber-
culosis, the nature of the disease,
its preventability, etc.
The North Carolina State
Board of Health is very active in
this anti-tuberculosis campaign
and has written circular letters
to every preacher in the State.
1t is to be hoped that as many
sermons as possible will be de-
livered along the lines laid down
by the leaders Of the anti-tuber-
culosis campaign. 1t is believed
by those who have made a study
of the disease and its ravages,
that ignorance and disregard of
the simplest laws of hygiene are
responsible for the majority of
cases of tuberculosis. And last
year 6, 900 persons, men, women
and little children were wiped
out by this preventable disease,
right here in North Carolina.
The North Carolina State Board
of Health is doing a wonderful
work in this State. Its efforts
are untiring, its vigilance unceas-
ing, and the good it is doing the
State of North Carolina, if it |

dollars and cents would represent
the handsomest investment ever
made in the Old North State.
The scope Of this Board should
be broadened, the funds appro-
priated to it increased and every
thing possible done to aid it in
the valuable work it is carrying
on in this State.
