A new feature has been introduced
at our State University, similar to
that at some of the Northern Univer-
stiles. A public lecsure system has
been established and excellent lectur-
ers from different sections of the Tn
ion will be invited to deliver lectures
at intervals in the college buildings.
DR.. Henry E. Shepherd, President Of
the Charleston, S. c., College, inaugu-
rated the series of lectures by giving
an address on the evening Of the 18th
inst.
1t having been decided by the
Grand Army men to erect a fitting
monument to the memory of General
Grant in Washington, it is probable
that the million dollar monument to
be erected in New York" (0 will be
overshadowed by the magnitude OF
the undertaking. Gen. Burdett, OF
Washington City, Grand Commander
of the q. A. r. is enthusiastic upon the
subject, and the $4,000 members OF
the order will each be asked to con-
tribute towards the carrying out OF
the undertaking.
The tide of reform has started to-
ward Boston and is now working hard
against some Of the rocks of pollution
that we have here. The Governor has
appointed three new Police-Commis
sioners who are very active in forcing g
the laws. In Division three, Capt
Hurley and Serg't. Cain are working
hard to root out houses of ill-fame
and are doing more than any other
police officers ever did here to prevent
crime, from present indications. Pros.
titutes, gamblers and Bunco men will
have to leave this part of the city.
May success attend the efforts of the
police. r. S. S.

A competitive examination, of a
kind not provided for by the Civil
Service rules, or contemplated by the
most ardent advocates of Civil Service
Reform, is in progress at the Naval
Observatory in Washington City. 1t
having been found necessary to pur-
chase number of chronometers for
use in the Navy, Secretary Whitney
decided to depart from the usual Gus
tom of advertising for bids and to per-
NIT each Of the various manufacturers
to place specimen chronometers in the
Observatory, where they are to under
go careful test during period OF
thirty days. The examination is in
charge of a competent committee, and
the selection will be made in accord
ance with their recommendation About
thirty of the leading chronometer
makers have entered the contest, and
the result is awaited with great deal
of interest, as the maker who succeeds
will, by the award, acquire an enyia-
BILE standing and an advertisement of
inestimable value.

Fron, the Elizabeth City Falcon
North Carolina is a fabulously rich
newspaper field, and there is no won
der that SO many new papers are
starting up all over the State almost
every mail brings us the first number
of the first volume of some paper, and
now we have letter making inquiries
as to the prospects of an evening pa
per in this city. Come by all means.
The Falcon and its esteemed contem-
poraries, the Economist and Carolinisn,
have for years been clearing thousands
and thousands of dollars each month.
The proprietors of these papers own
brown stone residences, beautiful
grounds, drive fine teams and live on
the fat Of the land they spend the
summer on the beach at Nag's Head
behind spanking span of bays, and
do no harder work than collecting
their interest on money loans. No
man in the State, outside of the sleep
ing car conductor or dry-goods clerk,
dresses finer, lives higher, or has the
money to spend in lavish profusion
like the Falcon reporter. Our fore
man wears kid gloves and diamonds,
and assumes all the gorgeous ways of
New York broker who has just
made a hit on Wall street. Under
these circumstances it is not at ali
surprising to US that our friends should
want to know the prospects for daily
paper in this city. It is a long left
want. IF there is anything in the
world that Elizabeth City needs more
than another it is a new paper, or sew
eral new papers. The yearning Of oar
people for faithful recountsof ali the
startling local events of business, In
dustrial and social nature, which are
daily occurring in this city, almost
amounts TO acute pain.
