County Family Tree Mailed Out.

There is being sent out to reigis-
tiers of deeds and county surveyors,
who stand in need of such informa-
ton as it contains, a chart showing
the origin of every county in the
state, when it was organized, what
county or counties it was taken from
and what counties were taken from
it. The chart may be called "coun-
ty family tree" 1t was worked out
by Col. J. Bryan Grimes, Secretary Of
State, and was copied by A. D. Du-
pree, grant clerk in the office of the
secretary of state. The chart involv-
ed an immense amount of hard work
and will prove interesting to every
body interested in North Carolina his
tory.

Mecklenburg county was part of Lord
Clarendons grant and was included
in New Hanover county. In 1874

Bladen and 13 years later Mecklen-
burg county was cut off from Arson.

Mecklenburg and has since remained
unchanged. Tryon county, abolished

two Cleveland in 1S41, from Lincoln

through Rowan taken from Arson in
u ~
1910, Stokes from Surry in 1889.

Raleigh.
Of the sixteen women who recently
completed the short course in home
demonstration at the State Normal and
Industrial College at Greensboro, nine
of them will be placed in the cOun-
ties of the state either as county
agents or assistant supervisors in
home demonstration work, according
to State Agent Mrs. Jane S. McKim-
mon. Two of the agents will be in
Lee and one each in Beaufort. Pas
quotank, EGgecombe, Halifax, Moore,
Buncombe and Cleveland.
Though the college sent out the
prospectus for this course only six
weeks before it actually began" said
Mrs. McKimmon, there were sixteen
members registered. Most of these
women had had practical knowledge in
conducting canning club work and
. work amongst rural women and ex-
pressed themselves as we'll pleased
with the practical course offered.
I'VE have thought it advisable also
to send to the Normal for weekend
new agents coming in to us from other
states that they might confer with
this class and become imbued with the
fine spirit of cooperation that actu-
ates them, taking back to the counties
in which they are at work plans
evolved from experiences of the wo-
men who have been in the field as
club workers before they went to the
Normal to get their technical training
in economics.
This course has been so satisfac-
tory that it is hoped it will be offered
again next year with additional course
Of six weeks for those who wish to
pursue the training the second year."

Carrara Marble.

The wealth of the city and province
of Carrara, Italy, which has popula
ton of 100000, is derived from the
500 ouarries, which give employment
in one way or another to over S,Ooc
workmen. The quarries are situated
in the mountains above the town, and
the stone is brought down to the plain
to be sawed and worked, largely in
shops connected with the homes OF
the workmen. Explosives are used to
obtain the largest-size blocks, al
though wire saws driven by electricity
are used in few instances TO quarry
the blocks to the desired dimensions.

TIED SLED TO TROLLEY CAR
Three Indiana Youths With BobsIed
Guido Peer Gynt's Sensational
Ride on Deer.

Elkhart, Ind.-Peer Gynt's sensa-
tional ride on mountain deer was
a Pullman coach trip compared with
the ride of three EAhart lads on a
bobsled which they attached to a
southbound interurban car the other
evening. The rope caught and they
could not unfasten it. The car gained
speed and the boys accumulated chills
as they passed Prairie street and In
diana avenue and some other things
they could not describe. Near sta
ton No. 10, and after wild ride of a
mile, the sled upset and the boys were
skidded over the Recovered ground.

SAVES A RARE OLD VIOLIN
WASHINGTON Girl Digs Relic from q
Trunks as the House Burns
to the Ground.

Tacoma.-A rare old violin valued
at $500 and owned by Miss Marian
Beecher of Puyallup was ali that was
saved when the little house adjoining
the home of John S. Ellegood on South
Hill burned to the ground. AS Miss
Beecher opened the door to enter her
room she was met by cloud OF
smoke. Her first thought was of the
old violin stored in small iron trunk
which had been given to her by her
father and which was priced as an
heirloom of the family.
Rushing into the smoke she grabbed
the trunk, but found it was too heavy
TO drag out. She lifted the lid, how
ever, lifted out the violin and carried
it to safety.

more, they believe it. Most have

derneath "middens." Their most pre-
cious things-money. for Instance

In general, they fear the Bulgars
more than they do the Germans.

Bulgars are wild beasts. they say.
All along that Calvary between Bel
grade and 'Monastir are hidden the
earthly possessions of these people
money boxes, sailed meat, barrels OF
strip. coal and -four. They have
chosen the beaten track on purpose,
because the me- frequented road
is the less likely are the invaders to
search the earth under it, and such
hiding places are easily found-neXt
April. With their peasants memo
ries. they will remember the exact
spot. They have not hidden single
treasure under their :. homes or
churches. Some have chosen the mid
die of the desolate market place, be-
tween two trees or the very edge
OF the muddy, unpaved street, or near
q horse pond, because all who enter
that village or town will use that
. pond, and not one man will think to
die the trodden soil around.it for hid
den treasures. be it francs or flour.
More often they chose open country,
on their own little farms, in some
ditch. marked by a.ibig stone Or on
which the shadow falls first at sun
down.
Now the snow has come and COW
cred it all up. But in April the snow
will melt and we shall find our things
again." they say with the quiet cheer
fulness of the Slav.
Many families have left some mem
Der behind to let the invaders sweep
over them like waves of tempestu-
GUS sea, leaving them where they
found them And most of those who
have stopped behind are women. The
men will be wanted. to rejoin that
army that is gathering again in Al
bania. Women keep the secret of this
hidden treasure and may be trusted
not to touch it till the family comes
back. And Serb leaves his wife be-
hind in preference to his mother or
daughter the last two might be ill,
treated by the enemy; but the wife.
after twenty, is like another man, fit
for the camp and ready to fight, too.
So, few of the Serbian refugees now
in Italy have brought their wives.
They are Watching things at home"
they tell you confidently.
And the husband knows that tho
wife will set to and till the soil the
moment it is free of the invader.

WEARING BIRDS ON HATS

The laws of Kentucky have placed
around its wild game and fowls a
very strong protection in the way OF

cuts out the wearing of stuffed birds
on hats, which custom has long pre-
vailed with the gentler sex. The law
covering this case is given in these
words:

OF Kentucky kill. catch or have in
his or her possession. living or dead.
