LOST CITY OF PETRA.
May Have Been the Resting Place Of
the Children of israel

May Have Been the Resting Place Of
the Children of Israel.
Petra, lost city and called by the
few white travellers who have seen it
one of the wonders Of the world, lies
in the Arabian wilderness, shadow
Of its once princely self.
Almost forgotten, it is believed by
historians and archaeologists to have
been the place where the, children of
Israel fingered for twenty years when
they were on their way from Egypt to
the promised land. Although it is be-
lieved to have contained at one time
a population of 100000, it is now one
Of the interesting places of which ex-
plorers know comparatively little. It
has no modern history, and, strange as
it nay seem, it lay absolutely forgotten
as far as Europe was Concerned for
fourteen centuries. :. z= NJ
In the centuries long passed Petra
was an important trading station for
| the caravans that moved between
Persia and Egypt, and India and the
holy land and Syria. 1t is built in
colossal bowl Of pink, and its palaces,
temples and tombs are carved out Of
solid rock. Certainly some Of it's cary
ings are 5000 years old. Its walls pre-
serve the history of architecture, for
its structures date from the days Of
cave men to the magnificent buildings
Of Greece and Rome.
Today Petra has about thirty in
habitants. They keep a few goats, go
beyond their city into the desert to
trade with passing caravans and, alto
gether, lead a miserable life. They
have made trouble for many travellers
| who attempted to visit them, for a
legend survives that a Pharaoh Of
Egypt hid his country's treasures in
the Kazneh, the beautiful building
which Is today known as Pharaoh's
treasure house.
For many years they tried to keep
white travellers from entering the city,
because when the treasure was found
they said 1t belonged to them. But to-
day they welcome visitors. NOminally
the city Of Petra Is a personal posses
sion Of the sultan Of Turkey, and it is
theoretically against the law to re-
move anything without his permission.
But there Is nobody to stand watch
| and guard the historic treasures. Every
traveller helps himself, and the natives
assist him in his search, hoping to de-
| rive a few cents for their labor

THE NEGRO AND THE BANJO.
There Was No Affinity Between Them
In Old Plantation Days.

There Was No Affinity Between Them
In Old Plantation Days.
To represent the negro in his comic
aspects and in his sentimental moods
was what the Ministries pretended to
do, but the pretense was often only q
hollow mockery. Even the musical in
struments they affected, the banjo and
the bones, We're not as characteristic Of
the field hand or even Of the town dar-
Ky as the violin.
Indeed, the bones cannot be consid-
| cred as in any way special to the
negro; they were familiar to Shake
speare's Bottom, who declares: II have
reasonable good ear in music; let us
have the tongs and the bones" And
the wise recorder Of the words and
deeds of Uncle Remus declared that he
had never listened to the staccato pick
ing Of banjo in the negro quarters of
any plantation.
Il have seen the negro at work." so
Joel Chandler Harris once asserted,

QUESTION CLEARED UP.
Princeton Readers Can No Longer Doubt
the Evidence.


Again and again we have read of
strangers in distant towns who have
been cured by this or that medicine.
But Princeton's pertinent question
has always been "Has anyone here
in Princeton been cured?" The
word of stranger living hundred
miles away may be true, but it can
not have the same weight with US
as the word of ou1 own citizen,
whom we know and respect, and
whose evidence we can so easily
prove.

trouble with my back and the aches
and pains we've hard to bear. I used

When Turtles Were Bio.

OF the turtles it may be said that
they represent the most ancient type of
all vertebrates, resembling closely as
they do the reptiles Of their kind which
existed so far back as the mesozoic
era. There were sea tortoises during
that epoch which measured twenty
feet in spread of fippers, while some
tertiary tortoises were not less big in
body, measuring twelve feet from head
to tail.

I. c. RYE NOW CHIEF EXECUTIVE:
LAW ENFORCEMENT BILLS PASSED

It IS now Gov. Tom G. Rye and
Ex-Gov. Ben w. Hooper. The
new democratiye chief executive
of the state was given the oath
of Office at the Ryman Auditors
UNI in Nashville last Friday in
the presence of large. and
enthuastic audience. The inaug-
ural address delivered by Gov.
Rye defined clearly the policies
the Governor desire to have car
ried out. He urged an economic
administration of the peoples
and reiterated his desire
to have all the laws on the statue
books rigidly enforced. In speak
ing Of law enforcement measures
Gov. Rye said these laws should
be enforced not merely because
it was a party platform declare
tion but because it was right.
The position taken by Gov. Rye
concerning the various depart
ment of the administration was
well received and he urged the
passages of number of meas
ures which will be of great
benefit to the state.
The legislatures now upon the
third week of its session. A
large number of bills have been
introduced and several have
passed third reading. One of

Resolutions have been. passed
in both branches of the legisla-
ture empowering a committe to
make an investigation of the
states financial conditions.
This committe has made report
to the effect that the state was
found to be in a bankrupt con-
dition. Gov. Rye is now devot-
ing most o his attention
to this subject with the hope
that some means may b e
worked out where by the credit
of the state may be established.
There have been no measures
passed materially affecting Smith
county. A bill to extend the
corporate limits of the town of
Gordonsville has passed the third
reading. Also a bill to incorpor-
ate the little city of Alexandria
has been passed. Representa-
tive Key and Senator CartmeIl
are at their post of duty and

In the list of surviving Smith

were being tabulated. Indeed
Rev. Davis was one who wore
the gray during the sixties and

years he has been one of the
