MAKING FIRE WITHOUT
MATCHES

Port Royal, S. c., Aug. 8.-How
to light fire. without matches is an
important part of the training given
to United States Marines at this sta
ton. The primitive flint and STEEL
used long ago by our fOrefathers =,
and the old wood friction" method
borrowed from the Indians have
been revived, so that the sea sol
diers may dispense with matches
when dampness renders them USE
less.

start a fire almost instantly by Us
ing a hollow piece of bamboo. This
is done by Sitting the bamboo
stufing it with dry moss and draw
ing a stick to and fro across it as a
violinist uses his bow. These re-
sourceful world wide folders are ex-
pecting to find a substitute for the
useful bamboo, in France.

Reported ReSiSterS on Route
No. 5.

Opposition to the draft law is said
to be manifest on Route S. AfaFmer
coming to the city says that many
IN the draft ages are resisting the
proposition. We hardly believe this
is the case because we believe there
are just as sensible and patriotic
people on Route S, many of whom
are our readers, as in any other Sec
ton. Resisters of the draft will be
charged with treason and the death
penalty sought when they face trial.
It's too late now to resist, because
the draft law is in operation and can
not be revoked and it simply means
TO stand by the country or be shot,
and no sensible man would care to
die a traitor.

TAX RATE RAISED.
The city tax rate was raised from

$1.45 to ST SO on each $100 worth
of property. High Point already
had the highest tax rate in the State
of any town its size or larger, with
the single exception of Asheville,

tax rate keeps people and industries

HOW TO MAKE A TOWN.

Encourage everyone, especially
new men, to come and settle
among you, particularly those who
are worthy and active, whether they
have capital or not. Their labor
alone is worth money. Those who
have capital will buy lots and build
houses or tear out and remodel the
old ones Go to work and stimulate
every legitimate enterprise>by Civ
ing it all the friendly announcement
you can, and by uniting your indus
try, intelligence and capital in
common cause Cultivate a public
spirit and talk less than you work.
Help your neighbor. If he is in dan
ger of breaking down prop him up
in some way. either by kind words,
good council or a lift from your
pocket. If he gets fairly down be-
fore you know of his situation, set
him on his feet again; his misfOr-
tune is to be pitied, not blamed, and
his talents and labor are worth
money to the community. Besides
it may some day be your turn to
need a corresponding amount of
sympathy. Encourage your local
authorities in making public i'm
provement for the good of the town.
Speak well, talk encouraeineIy of
the town you live in, of its prospects,
of your neighbOrs, and in fact of
everything likely to advance the
public good. It it is such little things
that make town grow. Their cost
is Insignificant when divided among
all, but when concentrated into gem
eral effort theydo the business thor
oughly.

GEN. LEE OV OBSERVANCE OF
THE SABBATH.

February z, 1864.
General Order No Is.
1 The attention of the army has
already been called to a proper OBJ
servanee of the Sabbath but the
sense of>its importancegnot only as
a moral and religious duty, but as
contributing to the personal health
and well being of the troops, induces
the commanding general to repeat
the orders on that subject. He has
learned with great pleasure that in
many brigades convenient houses of
worship have been erected, and ear
nestly desires that every facility con-
sisteut with the requirements of dis
cipline shall be afforded the men to
assemble themselves together for
the purpose of devotion.
II. To this end he directs that
none but duties strictly necessary
shall be required to be performed on
Sunday, and that the labor, both of
men and animals, which it is prac-
ticable to anticipate and postpone,
or the immediate performance of
which is not essential to the safety,
health and comfort of the army,
shall be suspended on that day.
Ill. Commanding officers will re-
quire the usual inspections on Sun
day to be held at such time as not
to interfere with the attendance of
men on divine service at the Gus
tomary hour in the morning.
They will also give their attention
to the maintenance of order and
quiet around the place of worship,
and prohibit anything that may tend
to disturb or interrupt religious ex-
ercises. K. E. LEE, General.
1t is we'll known, also, that when
Gen. Jackson was compelled to give
battle on Sunday, he appointed an
other day in the week to be observed
in its place.
These two men were truly GOOD
MEN and really GREAT SOLDIERS. Their
example is commended to the atten-
ton of the commanders of our troops
