ANSWERS

1. To prevent both men and wo-
men from going from one section to
another and remarrying without first
having secured a divorce, the legisla-
ture enacted a law providing for a
death penalty for those convicted of
the crime This did not apply to per-
sons who had been separated for a
term of seven years.
2. General Milton Littlefield was
given 100000 in bonds to be used as
gifts to those members who voted
for State aid for this railroad pro-
iect.
3. Francis Locke, of Rowan county,
e1vember 1914. Judge Locke had
just resigned from the superior court
bench, after having served ten years.
He did not accept his election to the
senate and the seat remained vacant

4. The legislature of 1866 in session
at New Bern established Windsor on
"the land Of William Gray. lying on

WRITING WRONGS


You're in error if you suppose
That Pennsylvania was settled orig
inally by William Penn and other
Englishmen.
It wasn't! First European settle
ment in what is now Pennsylvania
was made by Swedes near Phlladel-
phia, forty years before Penn was
given the territory in settlement of a
debt.
That in going from east to west
coasts of South America before the
Panama Canal was built, ships had
to go around Cape Horn.
They didn't, despite the sea-story
authors who say they did! Ships
went through the Straits of Magellan
far above Cape Horn, which is at the
sopthernmost extremity of an insland
$50 miles south of the mainland. Few
persons ever saw it.

at time when several million families are on re-

One half of the next generation is rising from that

not be received by the mothers and fathers OF the
vounp soldiers with the hand clapping and vivas
with which II >Duce's speeches clarifying combat
have been received
The Italian boys who marched to the transports
with great expectations of combat have discovered
that the game Of war is not what they expected.
A London cable to the New York Times says that
British observer in Italian Somaliland reports the
Italian forces camped in areas without drinking
water and that the limited supply has been drunk
to such low levels that what is left is alive with
insects The description reminds one of that by
Kfpling of the water drunk by British soldiers N
Indian campaigns, of which he said, sit was creep
ing and it stunk."
The reporter also writes that large forces Of
Italians are quartered in malarial valley Musso-
lin has been spending great sums of money to clear
malaria from the Pontine marshes near Rome and
now sends the youth of Italy to suffer from that
dread disease in the African wilderness.
The news from Somaland is distressing to all
who read it. 1t is further proof of the heartleSs-
ness of war and especially war of conquest waged
in the interest of trade. The boIdness of Emperor
Selassie and his defiance to Italy may partly have
been caused by his faith in the courage of his
Ethiopion tribesmen but no doubt he also rely
ing upon unseen enemies to aid his black cohorts
in destroying the armies of Italy.-Spartanburg

inserted in the Gazette, it will result ir increased
business for the individual, firm, or agency which
pays for its insertion. If the liquor interests VINO

would be unfaithful to them as patrons of our ad
