"HE TULIP - so NAMED from a
l. Turkish word, signifying turban
was introduced into western Europe
about the middle of the sixteenth CEN
tury. Conrad Cesner, who claims the
merit of having brought it into repute
- little dreaming of the commotion it
was shortly afterwards to make in the
world - says that he first saw it in 1859,
in garden at Augsburg, Germany.
1t belonged to the learned Counsellor
Herwart, a man very famous in his day
for his collection of rare exotics. The
bulbs were sent to this gentleman by a
friend in Constantinople, where the
flower had long been favorite.

Germany. Rich people sent for the bulbs
directly to Constantinople, and paid the
most extravagant prices for them. The
fever soon caught the middle classes of
society, and everybody, including people
of moderate means, began to vie with
each other in the preposterous prices
paid for these flowers.
TN 1884, the rage was so great that
= ordinary industries in Holland were
neglected, and it seemed as if the entire
population had gaily embarked on the
tulip trade.
AS the mania increased, prices went
up, until, in the year 1886, some people

ENCOURAGING REPORTS ON
LOST COLONY'S PROGRESS

1t should be highly gratifying
to everyone to learn that of a
comparable number of perform
ances including that of July 81,
the Lost Colony is ahead this sea-
son by some 1900 paid admissions
as compared with the 1859 season.
The half of the season will be end
ed with Friday nights show and
may we hope for this increase to
pass the 1000 mark.
In the remaining half of the
season, August as usual it is
hoped will show a much larger at
tendance as compared with July.
MANY signs portend increasing
crowds of visitors this year. The
second primary butted into the
opening week of the show. keep
ing away many people who had
to stay home to vote. The Demo-
cratic convention two weeks ago,
doubtless kept some business
away. This week, the Republicans
in Chicago were the center of at
traction.
Barring threats of premature
prophecies of high winds, the
Lost Colony ought to chalk up its
finest season in many a year, and
out of such success hearten the
doubters and out of their revived
hopes find an aroused and unit
ed popular support to energiZe it
once more into the live and vital
asset it was for many years.
The finest bit of encouragement
about the Lost Colony that has
marked this seasons efforts in it's
behalf, has been the improved at
titude of local cooperation, among
our people whose primary re-
sponsibility it is to back the show
with the last ounce of energy,
rather than to expect some dis
tant persons to chip in each sue
ceeding year to keep it going.
When we have all awakened to the
realization that we cannot hope to
live forever on "manna from
Heaven" we have achived for our
selves something of immeasurable
worth; good not only for our indi-
vidual selves but for everyother
enterprise which is important to
US and our people.

Bill Dryer Of Horse Shoe. N. c. Who
Made Success in the Mountains
Visits Lost Colony Land

Attracted to Lost Colony Land
on the week end was Bill Dwyer,
who with his charming wife, a
former newspaper worker too and
their young son, Bill w, has made
a success of unique and original
venture in the little mountain com
munity of Horse Shoe near Hen
Jacksonville. Dwyer, a former news
paper artist for the Heart papers,
originator of the cartoon, "Dunb
Dora" and others, took it into his
head some seven years ago to re-
tire to the N. C. moutains.
But an original. restless and re-
sourceful mind like Bill Dryers
cannot continue in retirement. He
developed an offset printing plant,
he published books and periodicals
for others; he established the bust
ness of teaching art by mail to
some 1000 students by now; he
specializes in the sale of "Oriental
Artists Supplies" from a beauti-
fully made-up illustrated catalog
of some As pages. His students
live as far away as Israel and
Arabia, and in all the states Of
course.
His success all goes to show
that ideas add up when work it ap-
piled to them, and what Bill Dwyer
has done could have been done
through the postoffice at Frisco,
East Lake, Avon or Ocracoke as
well as he has done it at Horse
Shoe,

pledges in the campaign that
brought Eisenhower into office,
they have been kept and improved
only because a Democratic con-
gress, aided by Republicans who
realized the folly of fighting
against the united popular will,
managed to keep them on the
books and to amplify them.
And now we hear the Republi-
cans tell the people they did all
these things for them. There are
young people whose memory does
MT reach back. into the Republican
administrations of over quarter
century ago, and even not far
enough back to know how the
change of administrations brought
the country back from bankruptcy
hunger and misery. But you can
believe us; we remember! We re-
member when this nation had
prestige abroad and no two-by-
four principality of Guineas, half
breeds or savages would have
dared desecrate the American flag,
let alone throw rotten eggs ana
stones at our high officials nor
force their rulers to refuse a Wis
it from our president. But, we
then had not been giving them
billions in handouts whereby they
might live in idleness, encourage
revolution, and give the go ahead
whereby savages might assume
themselves capable of managing
complex civilization, and be stu
pidly accepted as such by even
onr own starry eyed do-gooders,
daffy dreamers and meddlesome
Matties. Well take the highroad
with the Democratic party, where
there is hope for the people; a
bright glow on the horizon to por-
tend finer tomorrows. We won't
take the low road with the COZ
whose only claim upon the people
for consideration in November IS
that they brought about SO many
good things which were all con-
ceived, created, and legislated UNI
der combat, by Democratic leaders
of this country. The Democratic
party will have something for the
south; the COP nothing. Under it
our Southern members of Congress
will have consideration and coop
Grafton; they can be worth some
thing to the people down here
home, only to the degree that
Washington is Democratically con-
trolled. A word to the wise is suf-
ficient!
