In the first number on this subject published some
short time since, the history OF the Press was COLA
ted from its discovery in the 18th century, down to
our Revolution. The Press of our own State, from
Its hrst Introduction into the Province in l749 by
James Davis, and the names and characters of the
different Editors, were stated.
From that period to the present much information
collected, yet much is needed to make its history
complete and satisfactory.
The ruling powers of England seemed, says Will
hanson, in his History of North Carolina, VOL l,
l65, to have regarded knowledge dangerous plant
in the Provinces, else they would not have Instructed
Lord Efingham, the Governor of Virginia, not to
suffer the use of Printing Press on any occasion
whatever It was a cause of gratitude, for which
Sir William Berkeley gave thanks to Heaven, "t that
there was not Printing Office in any of the South
ern Provinces.
Surely, if such subjects afforded his Lordship any
cause OF congatuation, the early history of our State
must have filled his loyal heart with happiness.
But, under the influence of free government, the
Press, during the period which we are now con-
sdering, has attained in our Government position and
power hitherto unknown in the history Of our race
Tymperly, in his Encyclopedia of Literary and
Typographical Anecdoe, informs US that the United
States had in 1884, with population of $4,000, 900,
more newspapers than all Europe with population
of OO,OOO,000!
Such are consequences of Institutions and Laws
that realize the idea of Lockes perfection of Gov
eminent, where every man may think what he pleas
es and speak what he thinks.
At the commencement of the Revolution of l776,
the only newspapers in State, were at Newbern,
Wilmington, Halifax, Edenton, and Hisborough.
In 1912, there were newspapers printed at New
bern, Wilmington, Edenton, Tarborough, Murilees-
borough, Fayetteville, Raleigh, and Warrenton.
1t is to be regretted that no files are extan of this
period, within the control of the writer of this
sketch, which show '' the form and pressure of the
times" or the characters of the Editors.

THIS sovereign and effectua remedy for
that painful disease, was discovered upwards
of sixty vearsago by the Grandfather of the
undersigned, Ga German Physician Of his dav)
and has neverbeen made known out of his
family.
Its incredible cures have astonisbed thou
sands who have witnessed its power over that
disease. Unfortunate, desparing invalids, who
have been bed-ridden for years. have been re-
stored to the enjoyment of perfect health 1t
banshes all pain in few days, and its efficacy
is gladly realized by the patients being able TO
resume their usual avocations, after having
suffered in torments for months and years
The wonderful success of the EMBROCA-
TION, in curing the worst cases of Rheu-
matism, has acquired for ii celebrity un-
precedented. and its fame originated from
its own merits. 1t never has failed to cure
Rheumatism, either infammatory or chronic;
and feel safe in saying ii never will if fairly
tried. pledge myself to refund the cash to
any person who uses il properly without being
benefited thereby. Youwho are afflicted may
have tried every other remedy but this. Try
IT, and if it does not cure, it will not cost
you any thing. By this rule desire it should
| be used.
Persons are warned to be on their guard OF
| whom they purchase, as several mean at
tempts have been made to procure the RECIPE
| from which this medicine is prepared. The
proprietor deems 1t his duty TO say TO the af-
| hicted, that he will furnish travelling agents
with written authority for depositing it,.

from fourteen to seventeen, are fond
of apeing the woman in their dress,
and are partial to long shawls, which
gives the young things a matronly
