TODAY'S YESTERDAYS

March 20, 1822-The Missouri Re-
publican, weekly newspaper publish
ed in ST. Louis, had an advertisement
that made history.
ITO Enterprising Young Men: The
subscriber wishes to engage one hun
dred young men to ascend the Mis-
souri, River to it's source, there to be
employed two or three years. For
particulars inquire of Major Andrew
Henry near the lead mine in the
county of Washington; or of the sub
scriber near st. Louis. William H.

Among those who responded were
Jim Bridger, Jedediah Smith, Etienne
Provost This was the beginning of
the Rocky Mountain Fur Co., and the
opening of a vast new empire to set
tlement.
March 20, 1827-The area of great
railroad financing began. First sub
shares in the Baltimore & Ohio Rail-
way capitalized at $3,0O00OO. Az
though railroads were as untried in
the U. S. as rocket-planes are today,
the issue was oversubscribed, Salts
600 divided among 22,UUO SUBSCRIBERS
the largest number that had ever
invested in an American enterprise.
so Years Ago Today-The first al
ternating current power plant began
commercial operation at Great Bar
rington, Mass, with Single phase"
transformers constructed there by
William Stanley, Jr, which were to
be the prototypes of all those in use
in America today. The station was
not a success, but one constructed at
Buffalo, N. Y, the same year with
Stanley transformers was. And when
from Buffalo the long distance trans
mission of Niagara power was start
ed with two-phase apparatus develop
ed by the genius of Nikola Tesla, the
electrical age had begun.

Mining Becoming
Increasingly More
Important to N. 4.
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In The Sir Walter Hotel,
nv L e. ASKERVILL

Raleigh. March 90 Mining is
steadily becoming more and more
important industry in North Carolina
and during 1885 almost 75O,Ooo,oOo
tons of ores, minerals and stones
were mined in the State, in addition
to more than $4,000 worth Of gold that
was mined, Commissioner of Labor A.
L. Fletcher points out in the March
issue of North Carolina Labor and
Industry" published by the State De-
partment Of Labor, just off the press
today.
1885 Production High.
Figures compiled from the annual
reports of 60 mines and quarries now
operating in the State, show that an
unusually large amount Of minerals
and stone was produced last year and
shipped to almost every section of the
country. These 60 mines and quarries
gave employment to 1870 persons and
in normal years give employment to
1916 persons. Last year these mines
and quarries operated at only 81 per
cent of their capacity.
"While the Department of Labor re-
ceived annual reports from only 60
mines and QudrIl0S, lulS uuI1O0r UOCS
not by any means represent the total
number now operating in the state,
Commissioner Fletcher said. "The
mountain section of the state is lit
orally honeycombed with small mines,
some of which are still in the pros
pecting stage, but many of which are
regularly producing feldspar, mica,
kaolin and other minerals, though on
a small scale''
Accident Rate High.
The accident rate in the mines ana
quarries of the State is much too
high, the report showing that there
were 210 accidents in the 60 mines
and quarries which submitted annual
reports, and that six accidents were
fatal. This is an unusually high acct
dent rate in proportion to the num-
Der Of men employed. Fletcher point
ed out. An analysis of the six fatal &C
cidents shows that two were killed by
electrocution by coming in contact

FIRST WORLD WAR DAY-BY-DAY

20 Years Ago Today-The import
ance of the struggle going on around
Verdun overshadowed the news of
the contest on the eastern front,
where recuperation of the Russian
armies gave distinctly hopeful signs
of an Allied success. The Russians
had renewed their offensives on all
fronts with vigor. On this date more
than $4,000 shells, chiefly heavy cal
ibre, fell in a small section of the
German line near Postavy, and were
followed by an attack in two waves
which pierced the front over an ex-
panse of 35 miles.
Same day the Russians entered Is
pahan, Persia, forestalling German in
trigue there, and in another drive re-
took valuable positions bordering on
the Bukowina and Roumania. The
Russian commanders were able to
take chances from the absorption of
German energies at Verdun and they

ANSWERS

1. The assembly of 1870 rejected by
a vote of 55 to &c the proposition to
require State officers and members of
the general assembly to take such an
oath.
T. Congressman Page was elected to
the Fifty-eigth congress which con-
vened its first session November 8,
1903. He succeeded himself to the next
SIX terms, retiring in 1915 when he de-
clined to become a candidate.
3. Francis E. Shober was born in
Salem March II, 1881. Graduated
from the University at the age of
twenty, and two years later began the
practice of law at Salisbury. Between
1862 and 1866 he served in both the
senate and house of representatives,
and was elected to congress in 1869.

didate to succeed himself. He was
chief clerk of the U. S. Senate in 1877,
and later was made acting secretary

4. Since 1868 Superior Court Judges

perior Court judge is eight years.
5. A desperate effort was made to
move the seat of government from
Raleigh to Fayetteville. An appropria-
ton bill, providing for rebuilding at
Raleigh, failed in the legislature of
1882. The legislature of the next
year adopted bill to provide for re-
building on the old site.
6. All secret political and military
societies were made illegal by the leg
lslature in 1871. This legislation was
the outgrowth of reconstruction con-

TODAY'S HOROSCOPE

The person born this day is little
too visionary. There as a certain lack
of initiative and a weakness of con-

careful study of both is necessary in
determining in which direction the
way to- success may be found. Much
depends on the individual aspects of

WIFE OF BRUNO BROKEN WOMAN Broken, Frenzied Woman Not Reconciled; Gives
 Statement to World
By ROBERT MUSEL

Copyright, 1886, by United Press) New York, April 4-(UP)- Mrs. Bruno Richard Hauptmann, made a widow by the electric chair, took refuge in the home of friends today to escape the morbid curiousity of the public. With her was her baby Mannfried who will be taught that his father died sacrifcial offering to the clamor for a solution of the Lindbergh mystery.
 Last night while she wept in 9 Trenton hotel during the first min- utes of her widowhood, a faded woman in a red dress was fiat on her face in the corridor outside, her ear pressed greedily to the door jamb. She waved for silence. Two other women stood over her, their heads against the door, nudging each other as snatches of agoniZed moaning came from the room.
 Weeps Bitterly
 "Oh my poor Richard what will become of my Bubi (Mann- frieO God, why did you let them do this to an innocent mann"
 In the rooms, friends and attend ants were trying to calm her. The time was 9:30 D. m. forty-five min- utes earlier, in the death house at the state prison, Hauptmann had been electrocuted. Shrieks of news boys floated up to the eighth floor.
