ONCE UPON JULY 18th

When a mob captured the Bastllle,
ancient State prison in Paris, lay
years ago today, to liberate the hum
Ireds of political prisoners and VIC
inns of Bourbon despotism they be-
..eved it housed, they had surprise
awaiting them. It was almost empty.
Ii held only seven prisoners, not one
a political offender. One, count,
had been locked up 80 years before
at the request of his father. Two
we're lunatics. Four were forgers and
thieves.
Nevertheless, this mighty blow for
freedom has been celebrated ever
since as Bastille Day, the Frnck
equivalent of our own July 4.
1t is hard to understand just why.
Its days as fortress and political
prison were long past. In fact, plans
for it's demolition had already been
made by the government, as an econ
omy measure. The garrison made no
real resistance to the mob that had
Feen stirred up that day by rabble-
rousers, and the accounts that pic
ture the Bastille as being taken by
storm are all exaggerated or false.
The whole affair, carried out mainly
by hoodlums and curious youths, was
viewed as a spectacle by ladies and
gentlemen in open carriages at the
edge of the crowd.
Also contrary to tie statements Of
some histories and the general inn
preston, the Bastille was not Destroy
ed Immediately. 1t survived another
year. You may see the great en-
trance key at Mount Vernon. for IT
was presented to George Washington
Most famous prisoner that key
locked up was Count Anthony Mat
thioli, the Man in the Iron Mask
No trace of him was found that first

long afterwards that the skeleton of

RAISES GOLD FISH.

TO the Editor:
When l was a little fellow it was
popular for the entire family to take
& walk into the country Sunday aft
ernoons. One of our favorite walks
was to the home of Mr. Geo.
Workman, which was n half a mile
back of the present North Henderson
School, only we went out by the Hen
derson Normal Institute. Mr. Wor-
than: had three springs, known as
''Worthams Mineral Springs" where
we cut our initials in the beech trees.
Also he had many fruit trees and sold
watermelons. Also he had made a
SMALL fish pond where we would feed
the fish.
Mr.. J. W. Raines now lives at this
place. Yesterday 1 asked him if the
pond was still there. His reply was
yes, and it was full of gold fish
which he sold in large quantities.
I shall go out and see it.

To the Editor:
In reply to the little piece published
in our home town paper in regards
to our County Home, the writer of

formed by someone who can not be a
friend to the grand county in which
we live,
The home is second to nine in our
good old U. S. A.
I have been informed. by those of
extensive travel of our country, as
we'll as many foreigners, that we have
here in good old Vance county one
Of the best homes in the land for our
old and unfortunate.
In the manner in which they are
cared for. is nothing less than won
derful. We as body and inmates of
this grand and sanitary home are
sorry for any one living in our midst
SO much in the arrears of the great
and good things our county is doing
for the fathers and mothers of yes
terday.
In ending, we must say word for
our superintendent in charge She is
a Christian that any home in our
land should be glad to have within.
Now, here is one of the great things
that none of us should overlook. We
are blessed with prayer services and
preaching several times a week
Nothing is overlooked for the COM
fort of the aged in Vance county, and,
:: indeed, we as a body cannot forget
loyalty of all who add so greatly to
our comfort and pleasure in our de-
Ginning days of life. ..:q'
Yours sincerely,
