   ANTI-IMPERILAISTS
   PARADE IN WALL STREET;
            DOZENS ARE ARRESTED
by Associated Press
NEW YORK, July 3-Twelve persons were arrested today when a squad of 44 policemen
broke up an attempted demon- stration and parade of the "All-American Anti-Imperialist League" in front of Wall Street offices of Morgan and Company.
A HUNDRED YEARS AGO
A hundred years is a very long time,
And yet 'tis said they were singing this rhyme
    A hundred years ago.
I'd like to know if this story is true,
I've heard the sky was a very bright blue
    A hundred years ago.
The west was still a desolate plain,
For naught they knew of a limited train
    A hundred years ago.
The birds that fly to get higher and higher
Could not have flown to a telephone wire
   A hundred years ago
Darius Green with his flying machine
Would still be here if he'd been a  bit keen
   A hundred years ago.
They never raced in a gasoline flyer;
The never punctured a bicycle tire
   A hundred years ago.
They chased the hours with frolic and fun,
But none had yet made a century run
   A hundred years ago.
Let those who will for longevity strive,
But, oh, I'm glad that I wasn't alive
   A hundred years ago!
                  ~Albert H. R.

   Centennial relics owned by
Mary E. Hope, descendant
of William McGarrah; and
her husband, H. R. Hope.
The rolling pin in her hand
was tossed at an inquisitive
cow by Elizabeth F. Reed,
Mrs. Hope's great grand-
mother, 100 years ago, and
bears the scar on its handle
from that episode. The low
chair was once a rocker, the
first in the city, and is at its
century mark. The tall chair
is over 60 years old and was
Mrs. Hope's baby chair.
In it is a 100 year old cradle
mould that was owned by
Elizabeth Reed back in
Tennessee at the same time
as the rolling pin. In the hand
of Mr. Hope is the carpen-ters's gauge used 150 year
ago by his great grandfather
on the Tennessee river.

        -------*-------PAGEANT HEADS ASK
    CLOSE COOPERATION
        OF EPISODE CHAIRMNN
  To make possible a smooth
running drama for the Centennial pageant Wednes- day, episode directors are asked to see that their casts
of characters report on time
and move from the stage promptly tomorrow, accord- ing to announcement today of Miss Jobelle Holcombe, pageant master.
Each episode should appoint a property man to see that properties are ready when needed, Miss Holcombe asked. All property men with properties should meet Miss Cranz on the grounds at 2:30 Wednesday in order to place the properties.
All actors are to be on the
grounds at 3:30, and report to their respective episode directors and stay in position
   "There must be no delay
between episodes," Miss
Holcombe stated. "An audi- ence becomes restless after one and one-half hours. Since our pageant at best will last two hours, please remember to move promptly
both on the stage and off.
What seems satisfactory to the actors may drag for the audience.
Remember the audience.
   "There must be no delay between episodes. As soon as each preceding group enters, the next following group should be in position to enter. Each episode
director and his cast; if poss- ible, should read the comp-lete printed program for an understanding of the story, and each director should keep at hand the outline
of the action.
   "Actors enter the grounds at the filling station on the east and also at the gate at the southwest corner of the grounds. Their cars may pass behind the stage but must be parked in the street west of the enclosure.
If necessary for an actor to go from one side to another, he is asked to pass behind the stage."

          CHARLES J. FINGER  Charles J. Finger, internation- ally known writer, is Fayette-
ville's foremost literateur.
Mr. Finger needs no intro- duction to students of the short story or adventure tales. But, for the benefit of the unitiated, it is said, that Mr. Finger for four years straight while writing for the magazines produced "The best short stories of the year" that he won the Newberry prize a year or so ago for the best juvenile book of the year, that Knox College recently conferred upon him the degree of Doctor of Letters. With his interesting family, Mr. Finger lives at Gayeta Lodge where he has composed eight or nine  books, all receiving high com-
mendation of critics, and 60 or 70 Little Blue Book series classics. His Life of Livingstone is said to be the best in print. He is now composing a book which his publisher says will be a classic and his masterpiece.
          -------*-------       THREE GALLEONS
        Best Poem of 1928
by ROSA ZAGNONI MARINONI
Three galleons said the purple sea
Beneath a saffron sky.
I do not know what flay they flaunt
Nor where their course may lie.

Three galleons said the rose-gray sea-
Each is a hazy thing.
They hurry on with full blown sails-
Men wonder what they bring?

Three galleons said the purple sea
Beneath a star-shot sky.
I lay my head upon the sand
And let dream ships sail by.

Three galleons pass into the black
And disappear at sea.
I shall not wait upon the beach-
Dream ships don't stop for me.

             -------*-------              TALES OF SLAVE DAYS
    AND PROUD F. F. V. WHITES
       ADD TO LOCAL ROMANCE
"Nought's a nought-
Figger's a figger;
All for the white man,
Nothin' for the nigger."
So sang the slaves of early plantation days in Fayetteville, Arkansas, and elsewhere. The fuedal grandeur of early days in this section is something of which present generations have little conception.
For instance: When the earliest members of the Brodie family, ancestors of the Stones,arrived, they came in a carriage with footman and coachman. There was a house boy, a yard man, a kitchen maid, a cook, a house-maid, a nurse-maid, an old mammy, a stable boy, all in addition to the plantation "niggers" who did the field work. The old negroes were obedient, loyal, trust worthy and the average master and
mistress had for them affection second only to members of the white family. But pride in family was high and newcomers were judged by the ancestry they had. If one came from the F.F.V.s all was well. One, to be of the gentry, must trace his lineage back to the Revolution, or at least to the War of 1812.
   Several of the old slaves are still residents of Fayetteville, but most of them were too young to remember much of the life of the day. Aunt Adeline Hudgens, was a slave. So was Uncle Sam Young. So also was Henry Bend. But one by one the old-timers are missing. Soon not one will be left.
          -------*-------        FIRST CENTURY CAKE
              BOSTON CO. DISPLAY
Extending its greetings to the city, the Boston Store marked the celebration of the Centennial here with an un- usual window display consisting of a huge white Centenary birthday cake, topped by a
single tall golden candle, electrically lighted, representing Fayetteville's first century of life.
