Senet 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 “dream of pleasure and the apotheesis of North Carolina’s great- heartedness. | In this instance the town is appropri- ately named, as the ville will long live Green in the memory of those whose good fortune it was to share its gener- t Week.—Newbern Journal.

Wore the Abodps of People of « nmr erpepreeine 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. “There 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 | “stent, 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 “kitchen middens,” ar “guitare 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 “Weapons. 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 “were. 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.
