A most interesting story of Belle • Boyd, famous
Confederate apy, appeared a few days ago inmany
—of the newspapers of the country carrying the A*.
, .^sociated Press service. During the Civil war .Belle
hoi’s Boyd, a Virginia girl of seventeen, startled the Unions
. : trarmy and made her way through the lines carrying
39£t£VV m essages to the officers of the Confederate armies.
She was daring, courageous and most determined in
her exploits which at times seemed impossible,^but
'' never did she fail to accomplish the mission which
.5,44*,*■» she was assigned. Possibly the most daring feat ac-
,1*9! complished by Bello Boyd during the four years of
-j. - - hardships was the transmission of a. message^ to
Stonewall Jackson which enabled him to defeat
General Banks in the Shenandoah Valley. This spy
of the Confederacy made her way through the cross
'fire of Federal and Confederate troops and reached
the officer’s, headquarters without interruption. In
, - j the beginning of the war when Belle Boyd was yet
4jjl, 17, Union troops surrounded her home in Martins-

THE BLIND-EYED AUTOMOBILES
The blind-eyed autnmoliile or the “one eyed mon-
vjvister.s”, as they are termed in North Carolina and
a, • s I'm (Virginia, are equally as common in this state. It ia
i sc W° m drivers of automobiles fail to meet with a
. multiplicity of the “one-eyed” machines on the high-
wavs. The practice ha* grown to be not only a nusi-
■i .1, *di’ ance, but a menace. Of course there are times when
a ligut on an automobile will bum out and the driver
is in an isolated section where accessories for autos
are net'to be had, but this is not often the case. The
, Mvireal secret *• ♦*>» iwmbor of "one-eyed” machines
'"'ing operated is due to the carelessness of the owner
of the car vvuo preterit tutting a cnance on being held
:by the officers rather than spending a few cents for
globes.
• In Greensboro, N. C., evidently the people have‘ex
perienced much annoyance and possibly accidents,
judging from the remarks contained In an editorial
j V4ir. appearing in the Daily News, of that. city. It reads: .
“Virginia newspapers are passing along the story,
ns - credited to tho Suffolk News-Herald, of a man who
told the driver of an automobile that one of his head
lights was not burning. The driver suggested that
the inturmant could go to he)!, Whereupon it was
suggested in turn that the driver of such an automo-
•bite would probably get i there first.' The one-eyed
• *' monster—which seems to be A Virginia name—is a
.. periodical subject because it i3 a perpetual nuisance.
Word comes to the Daily News of a driver who
Bi - checked carefully the number of monsters he saw on
a 60-mile stretch along No. 10, and then on a 'second
tnp along the same 60 miles checked them again.
The conclusion for the two trips was that one would
meet a one-eyed monster about once every five miles,
ni *he data is not comprehensive enough to form any
general conclusions, but every motorist can tell of
the large number of single headlights he sees bearing
down upon him. There is no question about the
• statute*. But did anybody hear of the driver of a
cne-eyed monster haled into —
r wer for his sins?”

tZi tho Walton News: '
