In 1865 he was II years old,
the State began drafting boys OF
that age, and he Joined a light
artillery company, stationed below
Wilmington. This company was
made up largely of boys from Pitt
and Beaufort counties.
With his organization, Company
3D." 18th Battalion of n. G. light
artillery, he was sent to Fort Fish
er, where he took part in battles
there in December 1854 and jan
uary 1865.
WOUNDED AND RECOVERED
WHILE WAR PRISONER
On the third day of the January
attack he was struck by a minnie
ball, which carried away part OF
his skull. As a prisoner he was
taken to Point Lookout, where ne
recovered and was freed there and
q half months after the close of
the war with rs of his comrades.
He was released on his 18th birth
day.
He arrived at his home on July
80, 1865, after being mourned as
lost by his family, which had heard
nothing of him for six months.
After the war he attended Da-
Wis School, at Louisburg, the Horn
err School, at Oxford, and then
Trinity College, Hartford, but
work at the latter institution wa:
cut short by the failure of NJ:
ewes, a result of his war wound
and he was forced back to teach
ing and clerking.
OPENED PRIVATE SCHOOL
AFTER MARRIAGE
After mis- marriage he moved u

he started school. In September
of the same year he was ordained

May submit bit Of information for
the benefit of Mr.. William H. Pugh, who
wrote in your columns on September 10
regarding the Ludke flag case?
1t 50 happens that I knew Mr.. Ludke

In this country, and that his father is
an American citizen who has lived here
all but six years Of his life. so that it
cannot properly be said that the Ludke
children are Of alien parents.
have seen the Ludke children grow
up and have watched their excellent
training In the principles set forth in
the scriptures and adopted in the Ameri-
can Constitution. OF course, they give
thanks to Jehovah for all blessings and
favors, including the freedom which has
been guaranteed to the people of the
United States and which is supposed to
operate fully even now, and If Mr.. Pugh
were at all associated with the Ludke
family he would quite possibly hear
audible expressions Of gratitude, even If
they do not participate in ceremonies
Of any kind for outward demonstration.
They can stand firm to their conviction
at this time because they want to see
the spirit Of liberty and justice main

could never breed rebellious attitude,
but rather lead to honest living and fair

stepped approach was constructed up a
gentle incline. 1t was made by placing
four logs to serve as steps. with palmetto
fronds and grasses covering the other
wise slippery treads. A human head
without the jaw was first deposited be-
low the log at the bottom of the stairway.
This may have been symbolic corner
stone for temple. The head may have
come either from a captive of war or
common slave, or it may have been one
Of q number formerly decorating the
tops of the inclosing wall Of posts. Other
smaller mounds in the neighborhood
probably were built in the same way.
These were all dome-Shaped and as
building progressed they finally were in
corporated into one great mound, which
assumed the form of terraced platform.
At this point, unfortunately, the
archaeological record ends. The story
must be picked up in the narratives of
the followers Of De Soto, perhaps many
centuries later, when the site was oc-
cupied by an entirely different people.
The destruction of the upper levels of
the mound was a most unfortunate oc-
currence, from the point of view of
those who are trying to recover the lost
pages Of American pre-history.

proportion to the accelerated willingness
with which they were conceded. One
of the forces which brought disaster
upon the empire was the greedy violence
of q proletariat which had been educated
into believing that the state, II not the
world at large. owes every human crea-
ture q living. Approximately . dozen
centuries later Captain John Smith
bluntly announced wiser and basicaliy
juster philosophy to his Virginia colonists
when he said: HE who will not work
shall not eat"
Under modern conditions. however,
it must be admitted that the doctrine
Of unassisted self-support on occasion is
infeasible. People. Is Mr.. Roosevelt re-
peatedly testified In 1888, cannot be
allowed to starve. Herbert Hoover earlier
had reached . similar decision and had
organized existing agencies to the end
that the innocent should not suffer, and
Governor All NJ. Landon again and again
since his nomination at Cleveland has
witnessed to his agreement with his rival
on the subject Of social security. It Is
plain, therefore. that. no matter which
candidate Is successful on November ;.
no sudden famine will be the lot Of
those families now on the dole.
But the problem constituted by the
chiselers remains. and the sooner 1t is
dealt with the better. There simply Is
no sense In the whole population Of the
United States being saddled with the
burden Of an aristocracy Of beggars. Re-
turning prosperity will have q construc-
tive influence, and IN the meantime only
drones and takers have anything to fear.

One of the features Of the Presidents

working on 1t during the FAN Just as
In Summer.
This includes cutting. raking and
watering.
Often the temptation is to give over
cutting. along with other care. especially
watering with the garden hose. But 1t
seems to many that such tasks ut this
time add to the vigor Of the grass later
on, especially in cold Winters. when,
though dormant, 1t needs plenty Of
pep" at its roots.
One helpful factor is this, that there
really Is not much grass to cut, after
all, In comparison with the lush days
Of July and August.
The mower may need to be run over
the same ground exactly. but 1t will not
encounter 50 much resistance as 1t goes
along.
Resistance is what makes the work.
Just twirling mower over the ground
Is not 1t. The work comes in when the
steel blades encounter the blades Of
grass, each blade fully determined, in
its dumb way, to be itself, and not be
cut OF for anybody.
Moving the grass. after all, is curl
GUS feat. We grow plants, then cut
them OF. in order to force them to grow
more. The cropped state Is the smooth.
the carpet" state Of q lawn. A lawn
Is not q meadow. What would be
> beautiful meadow is not q beautiful
lawn. In most cases the lawn permitted
to 60 to seed Is brown and ugly looking
beneath, when 1t is cut at last. II this
happens earlier in the Summer, and
there is plenty of rain following, the
brown shortly disappears, of course.
At this time, however, it may not 60
away at all, but remain the permanent
appearance Of the grass all Winter long.
n Y
Every one. in going around, has seen
several good green lawns in the Winter
time, side by side with withered and
brown grass plots.
Probably the latter are composed of
the same grasses, basically. but did not
receive the same Autumn treatment.
Raking the grass is task which as
sumes greater proportions at this season
than ever before, on account of the null
titudes of leaves from the trees.
Permitting these to lie where they fall,
to blow away during Winter. is not as
good a policy as to rake them up.
This raking helps the grass in other
ways. IL StlrS up the SOIL, rake as care
fully as one may, and permits more
sunshine and air to get between the
blades.
More water also manages to get down
to the roots.
This good raking should be kept up,
leaves or no leaves. along with moving,
as long as both tasks are possible.
They will result in a better lawn all
Winter, one which will start quicker
next Spring, and be thicker and greener
all Summer.
II seed has been planted water Is
especially necessary. else in such a dry
season as this it will lie there until too
cold to germinate.
Hence use Of the old garden rake is
an essential from every standpoint. And
there will be many amateur gardeners
to believe that the best way to bring
rain, when nature fails, Is to sprinkle the
lawn and flower borders. Often this
simple duty is more efficacious than all
the prayers for rain. 1t may be, indeed.
that duty is prayer. and maybe the best
kind, after all.

Candhi's New Role.

Not much has leaked through to the
outside world in recent times about the
doings of Mahatma Gandhi since he
has been at liberty virtually without re-
striction to promote his ideals. Now
comes word that the agitator for inde-
pendence, who is in his sixty-eighth
year, has decided to dedicate himself to
the problem Of eradicating pestilential
disease in the villages of India, long
ridden with epidemics of malaria or
dysentery. The Mahatma himself only
recently recovered from a severe malarial
attack. His doctors and friends warned
him that he might suffer relapse unless
he took up his abode in q more healthful
climate, but he proclaims his determine
ton to remain in Segaon, where he has
been domiciled practically ever since
cessation of his militant activities, and
where virtually all of his fellow resi-
dents are afflicted with one of the dread
maladies.
1.-The problem of purging Indian viii
lagos of disease" the Associated Press
quotes Gandhi as saying, may not be
postponed even at the cost Of my very
existence. Nothing must interrupt my
course of instruction and first-hand ex-
perience. I am fatalist, and believe
that no one may put of the hour OF
death when 1t is doomed to strike" 1t
is certain that the Mahatma, as a
crusader for public health improvement
among the poverty-stricken masses OF
his countrymen, will fortify their
idolatrous faith in him should he ever
elect to resume the role Of iberator.
His recent illness, he explains, has given
him an invaluable personal insight into
the wretchedness of native communities
and persuaded him to concentrate his
remaining energies upon finding solu-
ton for it, from both the medical and
the economic standpoints.
The All-India Congress, once the ag-
gressive spearhead Of the drive for de-
liverance from the British yoke, begged
down after PRONUNCIATION Of the plan to
give the empire of the rajahs constitu-
tional regime Of dominion status under
strong imperial control. But the inde-
pendence dream must still fire the imagi-
nations of millions of Gandhi's fanatical
devotees, despite the diminished intensity
of his campaign and his resolution to
pursue humanitarian rather than strictly
political aims.
The British, on their part, made con-
scious by recent events in Africa and
the Near East of the wisdom of propitiat-
ing native races, especially those Of
Moslem or Mohammedan allegiance, are
more constrained than ever to avoid
tanning the embers Of Indian revolt.
Gandhi's ambition to become . sani-
tartan rather than an emancipation can
only produce the highest satisfaction In
London.

''Whither the Liberals?"
Editorial Is Approved

TO the Editor of The Star:
A vast majority Of the intelligent and
fair-minded readers of the admirable
editorial, whittier the Lberals?" which
appeared in The Evening Star of Sep
tember "a, will agree with and feel CRATE
full to the writer of the same.
More sound common sense and whole
some food for thought" was packed into
this significant arraignment than is con-
tanned in all the books that have re-
suited from the prejudiced pens of the
braintrusters and bureaucrats.
When the country and the old "horse
and buggy" liberty and freedom system
Of thought and endeavor have cham
pions like The Evening Star and other
great newspapers, it will survive the
attacks and efforts of its enemies and
the people and their representatives in
Congress will rule once more.

Jay Franklin Weak in the
Science of Mathematical

To the Editor d The star: -; Is - Il
Journalists often have . rendezvous
with nightmares to the amusement Of
the thinking public. But In . world
where any one with q fair vocabulary
can find words to support the silliest Of
theories it Is generally futile to argue
with q journalist Judgment. and judg-
mept alone, can distinguish the true
from the false. and consequently the
journalist Is seldom persuaded while
words still now from his pen.
It Is. therefore, q rare and gratifying
experience to find journalists venturing
into the field Of mathematics and pure
logic, where muddled thinking meets
sudden death. Lloyd's for . premium Of
So pounds writes an insurance policy
agreeing to pay 100 pounds In the event
Of Rooseyelts defeat. The United Press
and Jay Franklin say that Lloyd's is
thus betting more than even money on
Roosevelt. The New York Herald
Tribune says that the policy premium
rate is equivalent to bet Of about
8 to on Landon. And the Literary
Digest refuses to take sides in q con-
troyersy to which any person with bal
aneed Judgment knows the answer.
It Is clear, as Franklin says, that II
Roosevelt wins, Lloyd's collects So
pounds, and that II Landon wins. Lloyd's
loses 81 pounds. And then Franklin
concludes Tin keeping his rendezvous)
that the betting is IS to 81 on Roosevelt.
Yet it is obvious that Lloyd's is gambling
on Roosevelt to win and is to pay less
than even money, 81 pounds against So
pounds, II he loses. Therefore. the bet
ting df, to avoid confusing the journal
lists, we disregard expense and profit
considerations In writing the policy Is
81 to 63 on Roosevelt. or So to 81 on
Landon: and the New York Herald
Tribune Is right.
But perhaps the fault Is with arith-
metic, and not with Jay Franklin. Arith-
metic is an old science. and may well
need overhauling to meet the demands
of the times. Who knows but that the
New Deal may yet make an issue of the
point, and call for a repeal Of the
arithmetic Of those antiquated days
when the buggy came after the horse.

1t Seems Lloyd's Does Not
Accept Bets on Election.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Are we wrong who contend that Lloyd's
of England accepts no bets on election
in this or any other country? Is it not
. fact that Lloyd's of England merely
covers by insurance policies the risks
of loss in . given business in the event
of the election of one candidate rs
against another?
1t appears that Lloyd's has estab.
lished . risk rate of 3 to THAT Is,
three chances Of losing in given busi-
ness In the event of Mr.. Roosevelt's
election as against two chances In that
same business In the event of Mr.. Lam
don's election. But in either case the
loss must be proved. or course, II that is
the correct understanding of the Lloyds
activity. 1t is perfectly plain why its
ofncials should say that the Maine elec-
ton or any other campaign symptoms
have no induence upon their rates.

Cutting. raiing and watering the grass

IDENTITY. y
Owing to the continued lack Of water.
many householders have been forced
to get out the hose and sprinkle the
lawn all day long.
This is good practice.
Evergreens should not be forgotten.
These need plenty Of water as they 60
into Fall and Winter. Commonly they
lack 1t, owing to their situation near
houses, and the fact that light rains
do not 60 through their branches.
It is the lawn. however, which suf-
fers greatly from lack Of water at this
time, and which benefits mostly from
its application.
In some sections of the country the
chinch bug has appeared. leaving circu-
lar brown patches in the grass. 1t Is
best fought with q dust containing at
least per cent Of rotenone. This Is an
interesting poison, one used largely in
flea powders. 1t originated In the
tropics, where natives used 1t as fish
killer. It is said that one part In hve
million OF water will kill fish In 80
minutes.
AS there are other reasons for brown
patches in the lawn. no one should jump
to the conclusion that the chinch bug
has appeared hereabouts. As far as Is
known, its visitations have been to the
north only.
Continued drought seems to be just
what 1t likes.
It is probably true that continued dry
weather Ia good" for many tnimical
things.
Hence the person interested in q good
lawn will do well, from now on. even
II Summer is over, to keep the hose
going whenever the grass needs water.
. This care Is not so much for the bene-
At of the lawn now, as for the lawn
next Spring and Summer.
There can be little question that great
harm is done both shrubs and grass and
probably trees, by water deprivation at
this time Of year.
Other care, too, Is good, not so much
for the plants now as for next year.
Grass taken care of at this time will
look better all Winter. and start up
sooner next Spring.
Even the lawn Of next Summer will
do better because of the, care given the
grass now.
Careful experiments, which may be
done by anybody. will prove this to the
personal satisfaction.
There may be exceptions. just as in
bird lore. Mockingbirds, for instance,
mostly have stopped singing hereabouts.
but there will be bird now and then
which insists on singing vigorously.
Don't get them mixed up with cat
birds, however,
In the main, any one can prove to
himself the value OF continued lawn
care at this time of year.
Grass is always an interesting topic.
and a great deal has been written about
it. pro and con. Many years ago the
idea often put into print was that grass
should be permitted to 60 to seed at
this time, and nothing further done
to it.
No doubt this was an advice Of ex-
pediency. Those with very large places
were unable to give continued care.
But where the lawn may be handled
easily it Is certainly best to continue

Passing of the Trolley.
From the Hartford Courant.

1t is with pride, tempered perhaps by
nostalgia, that the Connecticut Co. re-
ports that, for the first time in its his
tory, its busses are running more miles
than its trolleys. Five years aga, troll
leys still delivered IS per cent of the
company's service. Ten years ago the
now familiar bus was rarity in the cit
ies Today, the company reports. the
trolley car is almost exclusively urban"
and Is holding on in the cities principally
because. with its greater capacity, 1t Is
better suited for the rush-hour service
than is the bus. The Connecticut Co.
refuses to commit itself as to the future
Of the street car, but If the present trend
continues and some way OF handling
with buses the crowds now accommo-
dated by the trolleys can be devised the
Gathering street car is not long for this
earth.
Sentimentalists may deplore the pre-
saged passage Of mode Of transportation
that was once one of the most distin-
gushing features Of American city life,
as 1t still is In many European commune
ties. There was time when the trolley
was lord of the streets, its domination
contested but feebly by shying horses
and the grotesque contraptions that were
sometimes called horseless carriages and
sometimes automobiles. On week days
1t carried both bank president and un-
skilled laborer to work. On holidays 1t
took them into the country. Never was
there more democratic institution than
the trolley before the days Of the cheap
automobile. And having said that. one
has said about all that can be said for
the trolley. as compared to its successor,
the bus.

To the Editor OF The Star;
q Wednesdays was the last G. A. r.

blue" thought as the flags passed by and
the men kept on their hats and the
women and children sat on the curbs;
nobody showed any outward respect to
the fiag-the flag Of the "boys In blue"
kept waving over our entire country. A
small group around me did stand at at
tention as the flag passed by and the
we were to stay on the curb-that meant
sitting down because there was no room
to stand. He certainly squelched the
respectful attitude Of the children.
Isn't 1t time that our people should
be taught how and when to respect
