DYNAMITE FOUND AT CAPITOL?

1t was rumOred Thursday after
noon that large stick Of dynamite,
quite sufficient to seriously damage
the Capitol building, was found
planted near the Governors office at
Raleigh. VIM. C. Horton unearthed
the find, it is said, while passing the
Capitol. He reported his d scovery
to the proper official and the reli-
able confirmation of the rumor was
that Adjutant-General Young had
presented Secretary Martin a part
OF fuse as a souvenir. What Mr..
Martin wants with the fuse he did
not say.
The dynamite question recalls
scare the police had several weeks
ago when 80 sticks of explosives
were found near the viaduct The
bundle of dynamite was found on a
day when three companies Of State
troops left Raleigh for Camp Sewer.
An investigation of one day was con-
ttlnued into a week before it was
learned definitely that the dynamite

THE WEATHER

The weather is the starting crank
of the worlds conversation. If there
were no weather to talk about, hall
of us would only be able to con-
verse WHEN we found something to
say, and would consequently be
dumb a good a large part of the
time.
The weather is what the atmos,
phefe hands to US from day to day.
All weather is produced by atmos-
phere. When the air is clear we have
fine day and the fact is mentioned
1000 900 OOO,OOO times in CONVEX
satiOn. When the atmosphere is cur
died, we have clouds and rain which
are just as easy to talk about and
use up a large vocabulary. When
the atmosphere moves swiftly from
place to place we have gales and
cyclones and political campaigns.
When the atmosphere is heated to a
trif1e below the boiling point by the
sun, man will leave his work and
walk five blocks in order to lean
against a friend in a cool, cIinky
place and help him say, Phew!"
The weather accounts for most of
the variety in life on this sphere. 1t
is weather which makes the Hotten-
tot content with a suit of clothes
which he can fold up and put in bis
ear while bathing, and it is weather
which makes the Eskimo eject the
polar bear from his warm furry skin
and move in himself and stay con-
until he dies. 1t is Eng
lands weather and the wide range
of description. required to do it JUS
tice, which has made the nation the
literary center of the world. 1t is
the six months of superheated Tex
as weather which makes Texan
fight in September at the wiggle of
a WhiSker, and it is the celebrated |
tepid climate of California which en-
ables the native son to reap four
crops of tourists year.
Weather is divided into four sea-
sons in the temperate Zone-light
0vercoat, sbirt-sleeves, thicker un-
1erWear and ear-tab weather. The
weather is responsible for a great
many milIionaires, including coal
men, ice men, summer resort propri-

Quantico, Va, Oct. 9.-To put the

United States Marines in training
here are practicing the old-time rebel
Yell. Confederate veterans, who take
keen interest in the activities of the
sea soldiers. are teaching the boys
their bat,le-cry, reminiscent of civil

1t is thought that the blending of
a cowman's 'ee-yah" with the blood
whoop of the Seminole will
put pep" in the Marine Corps
charges sufficient to dislodge the
BOchs from their trenches.
