Every diplomat in Washington, Allied
and neutral, was present. His face
was pale. His voice was neither
strong nor clear Thousands of mes
sages, opposing war, pledging sup
port, urging war, had poured in on
him in the last few days.
There is one choice we cannot

TODAY.S YESTERDAYS

April 8, Z B. C-The first Christ
mas came in April.
This is the birthdate of Jesus, as
calculated from Biblical text and ex-
ternal evidence. If this is correct,
the first Easter was April 9, 30 A. D.
April 2, 1792-Congress authorized
establishment of the first national
mind, and forbade use of George
Washington's image on coins. 1t fear
ed the head of a President on Money
would smack of royalty, and ordered
figure of liberty placed on the gold
pieces and the slogan, Mind Your
Business" on lesser coins. Gold from
North Carolina was first to be used
in U. S. coinage.
This was not, of course, the first
mint in the country. Coins had been
manufactured by individual colonies.
The first American coin, minted in
Massachusetts, bore the picture of a
hog.

HISTORICAL SITES.

To the Editor:
In recent edition some papers had
picture of "Blooming Hope, with
statement that it wss a boarding
school in 1850. Last summer. a lady
from Washington, D. c., asked me to
go with her to take pictures of col
onial homes for the Congressional Lii
bray, stating that her expenses were
paid by the Carnegie fund.
So we visited "Asheland," built 1854
by Samuel Henderson, ancestor OF DR..
Archibald Henderson, "Woodhourne,"
old Bullock home. remodeled In 1919,
"Belvidcre," old Boyd home, Oak
land" now Herbert Taylor place,
"Hibernia," Hargrove HON" quilt &c
fore 1915. idle Wi'dc' Captain Boley
Hunt place, very old blooming
Hope" Burn ~idc," built about 1880
by DR.. Thos Hunt, son OF Memucan
Hunt (our first State Trcasurcr),
later home of Patrick Hamilton,
mime Oaks" Keeling place 1750,
house built about 1879 by son-in-law.
Bromfiled Ridley.
The lady took. some, pictures or
cxteriors, but more so Of interiors,
mantels, wainstcoatings and such, and
I gave her history OF each place.
However, 1t seemed to me that she
was rather unsyste,natic in keeping
