is TT BURKE?


There is no doubt at all but that
the name Burke is derived from
Bourg or Burgh. meaning stronghold
and eventually city. The name was
first written "de Burgh" or "de
Burke" and so william or John De
Burke were simply William or John
Of the stronghold.
Since the days OF Henry III. and
Edward I the Burkes were esteemed
among the most powerful Anglo
Norman settlers In Ireland, whittier
they went with Strongbow.
The Burkes are almost always OF
Irish birth or extraction but they
seem proud OF the fact that they are
really Anglo-Norman and do not be-
long TO the same stock as ''real
Irishmen." However there must be
such an admixture OF real Irish
blood through centuries OF intermar-
riage as 10 make the strain OF Anglo
Norman blood rather weak.
Thomas Burke who was colonial
governor Of North Carolina was
born In ireland in 1747. He was a
son Of Ulrick Burke Of Galway.
Thomas studied medicine, complet-
ing his studies at the tender age OF
seventeen. However, this does not
seem TO have been remarkable for

NO MONEY FOR
SCH00LBILLS
State Board Says Legisla-
ture Made no Provision
For Payment
MUST BE PAID
OUT OF TAXES

DR.. II. Y. Holloway, OF the state
Board OF Education. has issued a
statement explaining why bills con-
tracted by the defunct county school
boards have not been paid. This
statement was authorized by the
State Board in a resolution at rs last
meeting.
The statement follows:
YES, it is true that many Of the
old bills which should have been
paid by the County Boards OF Edu-
cation before last July 1st are still
in the hands OF .he State Board OF
Education and awaiting payment
But whyg There is a perfectly good
reason. and the people 10 whom the
bills are due are not the only ones
who are thinking OF this long delay.
The State Board OF Education Is also
considering the matter. and it might
be well to add here. that a resolu-
ton was passed at the last meeting
OF the board. requiring that state
ment on this subject be made
public.
This is the reason the bills are
stiil unpaid. The Legislature, at its
last session. provided that the State
Board OF Education take over the
business OF the county boards, and
assume all outstanding Indebtedness
Of the latter. However. the Legis-
lature did not. at the same time,
provide any funds for this purpose.
Therefore. the State board CO mot
draw on any OF the school funds al
lotted to this year to pay these old
bills. and II must depend solely upon
the collection OF back taxes still un-
paid for the last school year. As
We know the last portion OF the taxes
IS always the hardest TO collect, and
the slowest TO get. Therefore. some
OF these bills are stili on file. but
they will be paid or just as speedily
as funds are available FOR the pur-
pose.

NEW YORK. Sept. 22.-whne a
number OF well-known auction
bridge players were engaged in their
favorite pastime at the New York
Bridge Whist Club in West Seventy
second street Tuesday night. an as
grouping Of cards fell to
the hands OF one man.
He held all thirteen diamonds.
Possibly this established a worlds
record for auction bridge. II it did
not, Il at least equalled any previous
record. There are a few authenti-
Gated cases OF the whole thirteen OF
suit being held in the old game OF
bridge. before auction was intro
duced; but none OF the players pres
ent Tuesday night ever heard OF a
similar fall OF cards in auction.
The play came about in this way:
The deal was made by Henry c.
Dottenheim, a weil-known lawyer.
whose partner was r. NJ. Cattle. the
Fifth avenue jeweler. Mr.. Cattle
has a fair for holding diamonds.
which has been the basis OF many a
joke and pleasantly among the
members OF the club but on this oc-
casion he did not have a diamond.
Mr.. Dottenheim, after momentary
study OF his hand, bid one diamond.
The second player bid one heart.
Mr. Cattle, having three aces, bid
one no trump. The fourth hand as
sisted his partner two hearts.
Mr.. Dottenheim then bid three
diamonds.
The next player went four hearts
Mr.. Cattle bid four no trumps.

those days and it probably reflects
more on the meagerness Of medical
knowledge OF the day than on the
precocity OF those who were doctors
at an age when most boys Of today
are only leaving high school.
Thomas Burke having become a
physician, came to Accomac county.
Virginia. There he studied law and
practiced with Thomas jefferson.
He married in 1870 May Freeman Of
Norfolk and two years later settled
in North Carolina. He was a strong
patriot and led agitation against the

that Governor Thomas Burke was a
