Some of our contemporaries will probably be sur
priscd to find newspaper in existence as lar west
as Salisbury before there was press in Raleigh
and that Hsborough has precedence Of the poiti-
cal metropolis, in this respect, by period of more
than - years. Tie North- Car0lina journal, pub
lishcd by ABRAHAM IioEGE at Halifax had more
celebrity and wider circulation than any paper iii the
State previous 10 the establishment of the Raleigh
Register. 1t, in with al the papers in the
State was printed sheet of considerable smaller
dimensions than would be made by the folding half
OF the sheet III which any Of the larger class OF Raj
eSh newspapers is at present printed There were
three columns on each page, ana the columns OF the
Jouraa the largest Of ALL were 145 inches il length
and 2.S in width.
The history of the Wilmington press in ,roI.or-
ton to its Importance is less known than that of any
other portion of the Stat" and the Editor of
the Commercial who conducted, and believe
tabished the Cape Fear Recorder, more than IS
years ago Eve unwilling to attempt greater pre-
cison) would greatly o5ge US, and our brethren of
the type by tracing it for readers.
Few persons have lived in North Carolina |
whose autobiography, if he left one, would be more
and valuable, than that of the late JoSEPH
GALES If no such memorial exists, his biography |
ought to be written by the Editor of the EayetterHe
Obssrrer. y sketch Of his history, from any
capable of doing justice to the subject, would be
very acceptable contribution to the pages of this |
Magazine. \ similar sketch is due to the long
nued and successful services Of Abraham Hodge. |
Will net the Editor of the Standard undertake to
supply it?

N0gGsinc, Political Historical and Miscellaneous"
We have in our possession the numbers for August
September and October, only, and suppose the
crprise did not extend to a second volume. 1t was
pamphlet Of 81 pages, besides the cover, which
vas of the texture with the body of the work,
contained almost original matter, and was made
Up almost exclusively of such articles constituted
ne staple of the ordinary newspapers of the period.

In 1912 the students of this University established

d, each number contained ~ pages, and filled
lmost entirely with original papers, written by the
ditors and other students 1t published by
thomas LoRING, at the Office Of the independents"
t Raleigh, and deserved a wider circulation, and a
more permanent support than were awarded to itby
he impartial public.
