IT Is reported by the early hist2-
rians that when the Mission fathers
visited this region $50 years ago the

claimed that these mysterious canyons
were thc abode of evil spirits and the
Indians could not be induced to guide
the priests to their vicinity.
Actual flame has also been reported

MONSTER OCCASION AT ROCK
INGHAM ON FIRST ANNIvER-
sARY OF FINAL HALT OF
HUN.

Rain Fails to Chill Enthusiasm Of
Vast Throng; Great Parade and
Sumptuous Barbecue; Speeches BY
Governor Beckett, Col. Minor, COL
Scott and Others.
(By James A. Livingston of News
and Observer staff, in issue of News
and Observer of July 10, 1912
Rockingham, July 1S.-On the first
anniversary of the final turning back
of the Hun at Chateau Thierry, fif-
teen thousand people from Richmond
and adjoining counties, scorning
threatening clouds and showers gath
cred here today to do honor to the
returned soldiers who year ago
were battling on foreign soil. Fully a
third OF this throng gathered at IL
o'clock in a natural amphitheatre in
Everett Park after parade OF I'M
usual excellence to hear the governor
Of the state who made an eloquent ap-
peSI
canism and other speakers who paid
tribute to the fighting men, several
hundred of whom occupied places in
front of the stand. Col. Sidney Minor,
OF Durham, and Col. Don Scott, of Ora
ham, told the folks at home of the
brave exploits of their boys overseas,
each of them as we'll as Governor
Beckett receiving a most cordial well
come.
Streets Lined With People.
The prospects for celebration this
morning were not bright, but thous-
ands of people were on hand early,
ready for the exercises, if the rain
should stop. Sure enough the clouds
broke away at 10 o'clock and the pa
r1de was soon started through the
principal streets of the town, all of
which were fianked on either side by
solid mass of humanity of every age,
condition, race and cline. Even
Chong Lee, the Chinese laudry man,
ceased his labors for a brief spell to
have look at the unusual spectacle,
while all business places shut up house
for the day.
Fighters Head Procession.
Not even the governor Of the state,
who later dined with the soldiers at a
sumptuous barbecue, was allowed to
head the procession, the returned sol
diers and sailors in uniforms being
given the place of honor; following the
governor, came the other guests of
honor in automobiles and next the
Confederate veterans, then floats and
automobiles.
Uncle Eb Ingram, Arson county
Confederate soldier, with his drum
and fife corps, started rebel yells and

competed for honors with the twenty
eight piece Icemorlee brass band from
here. 1t was right hefty step, the
colored soldiers behind had to take. to
keep moving in time with Uncle Ell
and his three colored drummers.
Ike London promised mass of dec
orations and the profusion of color
schemes and designs both along the
streets and in the score of pretty bus.
mess floats in the parade attested the
accuracy of his prophecy of gala
town the equal Of any the state has
seen since the soldiers began coming
back from overseas.
"Dixie" Brings Loudest Cheers.
1t was Dixie" that brought the loud.
estteheers from the crowds. The band
broke into the strains of the melody
as the crowd began to gather after the
parade, and a mighty clapping OF
hands led by Governor Beckett, greet,
ed the familiar air.
Gathering in the grove in SINH
circle, the large audience listened to
patriotic addresses with rapt atten-
ton after the invocation by Rev.
Bruce Benton, recently back from
overseas.
On the triumphal arch under which
the parade passed on one of the main
streets, appear the names of fourteen
Richmond county boys who lie be-
meath the sod in France and tender
tribute to their memory was paid by
w. N. Everett former county food adj
ministrator, who welcomed the SOL
diers back home in the name of the
people of the county.
Vivid and realistic was the descrir-
ton of the gallantry of the Tar Heel
soldiers by Col. Don Scott, of Graham,
who told the story of the death Of Cor
poral VIM. F. Ingram, a member of his
battalion, whose name appears GA
the arch, who was killed while going
after German machine gunner.
Lieut.. Don Phillips, native Rich
mond son who won croix de guerre,
responded to the address of welcome
and B. F. Reynolds, chairman of the
board of commissioners, introduced
Colonel Scott, the latter in turn in
PRODUCING Colonel Sidney Minor who,
despite hoarsepess, made an eloquent
address, calling upon the returned SOL
diers to be worthy of their sires and
of their worthy record in France.
Governor Speaks.
Governor Beckett, who was introduc-
ed by Hon. w. L. Parsons, chairman
of the county exemption board, con-
fessed his inability to speak to such
an immense multitude of people eX-
cept on the installment plan. The
governor paused to pay tribute to the
score of Confederate veterans seated
on the platform.
He told the soldiers that they had
