The Time of the Greenville Races.
eal
This modest little town, the county
seat of Pitt, has for many years occu-
pied prominence as the home of a num-
ber of distinguished men, notably, Gov.
Jarvis, the late Louis Latham and oth-
ers, and. more recently has become con-
spicuous as one of the best tobaceo mar-
kets in the State, but it was reserved for
the recent week of races, say the visi-
tors, to earn another distinguishing ti-
tle"that of being the most hospitable
town in North Carolina. ©
The New Berne contingent who at-
whom is a Past Mastar in the art of en-
tertaining, and therefore eminently qual-
subject, never weary of declaring that in
all their lives they were never 80 royally
entertained as upon this occasion.
The hospitality was not of that per-
functory nature, that devolves upon a
committee or select few to offer, bat was
spontaneous, universal, and of the most
hearty and generous character. All
and every class sought to outdo the oth-
ers in the manner and earnestness of
~heir attentions, and the result, was one
continuous round of delicate,rational and
most enjoyable entertainment.
The attentions of Mr. Skinner, the
hotel proprietor, were pronounced and
are especially mentioned"his earnest
and courteous treatment of his guests} °
being from a hotel standpoint, as grati-
tying as they are elsewhere unusual.
To sum up, the occasion was a sym.
posium of generosity, a carnival of hos-
pitality, a odream of pleasure and the
apotheesis of North CarolinaTs great-
heartedness. |
In this instance the town is appropri-
ately named, as the ville will long live

good fortune it was to share its gener-

Scientific Expeditions ~sent Out from
Pennsyivania to Secure Relics
i of a Race Anterior to
tie
If there is one thing more than an-
other which archaeologists would hail
with delight. it would be. the discovery
which would unlock the mysteries of
the Maya stone monuments and give to
the world the keys to the history of
the early races of Central America, as
the discovery of the Rosetta stone un-
locked the history of ancient Egypt.
oThere has: been for many years a dis-
3 pute as to the degree of antiquity which
~is to be accorded to the remains that
are found jn Central America. One sa-
most. contemporary with ancient
Egypt, while another will not allow
that. they are much earlier than the
cays of the Montezumas or the time of
the discovery of the continent by Co-
lumbus. If the Maya tongue was as
open ® book as the records of ancient
Egypt this question might be settled.
WVho were the builders of Uxmal?
Wherice came the ancient race that
curved the strange figures and char-
acters that are found on the altar slabs
at Palenque? No one ean tell. After
tears of research: wé' are but! a little
cigser to the heart of the riddle than
we were balf/d century ago,
Recently the inquiry has taken an-
other turn and the effort hag been
mace to ascertain ~som ething about
the prehistoric races that it was sup-
posed might haye preoeded the Maya
Indiz ans in the oecuyation of the Yues-
tan peninsula. There are in the hills
of Yucatan many caves, not large in
| ostent, bulwhich it,was.belieyed would.
upon inyestication, show im the de-
posits Whieh micht be fotnd on their
in that region. The earlier races found
shelter in_eayes,; built fires, there, and
in the refuse of the ash ~heap ~are fonnd
the bones of the arjmals they consumed
And the f ragments of the tools, utensils
and weapons that they used. Relics
of importunee might be found in the
hill caves of Yucatan, and so an expedi-
tion was sent: out from the University
of Pennsylvania to exantine these eaves
and investigate the okitchen middens,�
ar oguitare beds,� as sciehee calls ghe
~soil of which the floors of thése cdves
is composed. The expedition was ir
charge of Henry C. Mercer and was
lajowh p¢ the Oprwith expedition, and
Mr. Metceér has written an entertdining
and valuable atgount of théir re-
Searches. Ten ~caves were examined,
nnd the method followed was that usu-
ally employed in such cases. Trenches
are dug across the floor with great
care, , the, earth removed in layers and
lies and frag.
ents of pottery, bones: Jof peeing
Bee iPS ps other oWeapons. it
~wos hoped thht-there weld be found
traces of a race anterior to the Mayas.
In this the explorers were doomed to
disappointment. They did not find
any traces of the prebistoric man; but
they ~found that the pedple who came
~to-the caves owere. generally identical
with the race that had reared the cities
Whose ruins have excited so much at-
tention and wonder. They brought
-with them whatever degree of culture
they were possessed of and had not
developed after their arrival in Yuca-
tan. It was also established that these
peoplé had reached the country in geo-
logically recent times. It will thus be
seen that not all the results of the ex-
pedition, were of a negative character
and that some of them were of impor-
tance from a. scjei:tific point of view.
It was ascertained that in all probabil-
ity the ancient Mayas were cannihals.
They) were an agricultural people and
not given to bumting lo Any great ex-
lent.
Nearly all the caverns contained -wa-
ter, ond it was that fact which first led
these earlier races to resort to them.
