HILDEGARDE

UILDEGRADE Is very popular in
III this country, though her origin Is
almost lost 10 sight in Morse
mythology. The name means battle
maid protector" and links its bearers
with the warrior maidens OF the Wild
north.
Hndegarde's direct predecessor was
HilGur, chief among the NaliEyrier.
In England there was q Deiran
princess Hlldur who became the holy
abbess Of Whitby, succeeding st.
me mother OF Rolf Gangr, proFe-
nitress OF English royalty. who vainly
besought Harald Harfage not TO ban
ish her sons from Norway, was
named Hildr. Hildeldis is a popular
AnEio-Saxon name.
Hildegarde was first bestowed upon
an abbess in the Palatinate. who was
noted for her sanctity and who died
as late as 1904. In honor Of the holy
woman, Hildegard Is still very popu-
lar and IN common usage among Ger
man women. In Denmark the same
name has been corrupted into ole
gard. The Gothic queens Of Spain
bore q name almost identical. Hil-
duara, meaning battle prudence.
Amber Is Hiidegarde's talismanic
stone. II Is said TO protect her from
danger and disease, and to strengthen
the health OF mind and body. II Is
particularly lucky for singers, pre-
serving and clarifying the voice. ac-
cording 10 old superstition. Friday
is her lucky day and z her lucky
uumber.-CopyriEh 1920, by the

MELISSA Is literally one OF the
WI sweetest Of feminine names. It
comes from the Greek word
meaning ito soothe or sweeten," and
hence. honey or the honeybee. Ne
LISA was sometimes said 10 have
been the name OF the nymph who
first taught the use OF honey. and
the pretty fancy arising from this
belief made bees the symbol Of
nymphs. Strangely enough. Melissa
came 10 be the tile OF a priestess. as
well as a feminine name, IN classic
times.
The italian poets called Mesilia the
beneficent fairy who protected Bra

Melissa brought he- into favor with

Morrison's The Man.

THE drift of public sentiment
throughout the State towards
Cam Morrison has been most
pronounced since the June 5th
primary. Betting of course
should not be countenanced, but
if that is any index, then Nor
rison is most certainly the win
ner. 1t is said some overly en-
thusiastic supporters of Morrison
in Raleigh have been offering
odds of 3 to 2, and in some cases
2 to l, and are getting no takers.
The Gardner folks apparently
see the handwriting on the wall.
Col. Aus. Watts predicts Nor
rison's majority will be $500;
even his most pessimistic sup
porter acknowledges it will be at
least 5000. But the day is only
two days off, and the tale will
soon be told. Both men are
strong and splendid gentlemen,
and the Democratic party will
be ably led by either of the two.
But as a matter of COUNTY
PRIDE, it should be the pleasure
as we'll as privilege for our Rich
mond county people to rally to
the support of a home man-for
CAM MORRISON who has always
been a friend to the county, and
who can be depended upon to
ALWAYS be such a friend. Vote
for Morrison, and let the people
of North Carolina see that Rich
mond county is not neglectful Of

HORRIBLE ACCIDENT

Blown Off.

A most unfortunate accident
occurred in Wolf Pit last Friday
afternoon when the one-year-old
daughter of Fred Steele was shot
and instantly killed by her seven
year-old brother. The baby,
Allie, and her 8 and 7-year-old
brothers were in the house to-
gether; the mother was near the
house, and hearing a gun report
and a scream, she rushed indoors
to find the babes head partly
blown off, and the child dead.
The children stated that MIR.
Steele's shotgun had fallen from
the rack and had gone off; it is
not know whether they were
playing with the loaded gun, or
whether it fell to the floor from
the rack.

AS can be seen on page three,
a number of citizens of Rocking

be placed at each voting precinct

from the regular primary boxes,
of course) for the purpose of OBJ
tanning an expression from the
voters upon the question of
woman's suffrage.
This vote is not by authorize
ton of the Democratic Executive

private citizens, the idea being
to get a line upon the sentiment
of the county on the question o1
whether the Federal amendment
granting the right of suffrage tt
women shall be ratified.
