way, we should have noted the fact
that all rooms are connected with
the ONCE BY electric bells, assuring
prompt responses to summons for
servants. 50 far as the table Of the
Marlborough Is concerned no one can
find fault. Delicacies and luxuries
as we'll as substantials abound, and
the reputation gained by the housein
this regard is well earned and we
doubt not will be maintained.
THE ATLANTIC HOTEL,
at Morehead City deserves more
space at our hands than we can ac~
cord it in this review, and yet we
feel like complimenting r. B. Raney
& Co., the proprietors, upon the ex-
ceptionally good report which all
visitors to this famous resort have
made since under its present manage
ment. From June LIST to October
LIST the Atlantic is open for the re.
ception Of guests. The hotel and its
attendant cottages have been so free
" written Of that the RECORDER
hardly feels able to add a word to the
praise 50 well-earned; we can say,
however, that no Atlantic coast re-
sort presents greater attractions nor
is there one where the rate per diem
or per week or month is less Or the
accommodations greater.
For the current season Messrs. r.
b. Raney 4 Co., have issued a very
handsome pamphlet, illustrated, con-
tanning the unsought opinions Of
eminent writers and public men re-
garding Morehead City and the At
Il 4 3
lantic Hotel. There is q yeritable
air Of refreshing sea breezes --of FISH,
ing and boating peryading the pni,!i-.
cation that We can't help liking, and
it ought to induce hundreds Of yisi-
tors this season. Greater pains than
ever before will be taken to make tbs
stay Of each guest pleasant. Thus far
Tennessee, Georgia and North Caro-
lima have sent more visitors than 9th !.
er States, but we can suggest 20 hun,
dreds Of our Virginia readers that
Morehead City will prove an agreeable
change from Old Point and other re.
sorts. Mr.. w. P. Campbell. ofAtlanis
viii have special charge Of the Attain
tic this season, and we presume Mr.
Raney will spend considerable Of his
time there also. At all events, we
hope to be able to record highly
successful season for the house and
its proprietors.

The University Of North Carolina.

The University Of North Carolina.
With few if any exceptions, it has
been the avowed purpose and earnest
effort on the part Of each Of the States
in the Federal Union to establish and
carefully foster some central seat of
learning-somc University, which
should be a fitting cap stone to the ed.
ucational monument. As rule, the for
tunes of these State Universities are
kindly looked upon by all classes, for
they are of the people and for the peo.
pie, and, so far as the history Of the
University of North Carolina is con-
cerned, we may say that the State has,
in the main, display ed toward it a fair
degree of liberality. Its Trustees
have usually been men in whom con-
fdenc, was reposed by the tax payers,
and they have, ass rule, heartily co.
operated with the Presidents and
Trustees in forwarding the best in
terests of the Institution. As mat
te. of course it is impossible to write
THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSITY
in detail it is we'll enough to say
that its origin is co.eval with the Dec
laration of Independence of the
American colonies, it having been" es.
tablished in obedience to "a clause Of
"Section XII ofthe constitution of
''the State, adopted on the 18th Of
December, 1776, viz: ''All useful
clearing shall be duly encouraged
''and promoted in one or more Uni.
."yersities." October 18th, 1893 the
corner stone Of the first building was
laid, and in February, 1895, the doors
of the University Of North Carolina
were opened for students. Its first
President was Joseph Caldwell, to
whose memory a handsome monument
was some years ago erected in the
campus, and his name and that Of
Governor David l.. Swain, next but
one incumbent Of the Presidency, will
ever be revered by the friends of
education in North Carolina. DR..
Chapman Immediately preceded
Gov. Swain, but he officiated for only
four years. Of President Swain il is
said that sit was his boast that during
the four years of the late civil war
the College bell never failed in its
daily calls, that the Faculty was ever
in place for duty, that oil grew fat on
sorghum and corn bread, and the in.
stitution was maintained in full work.

or she should visit the establishment
Of Mr.. Hughes, on Fayetteville street,
near the Marlborough House. II takes
some time TO inspect the establish

There are 50 many things to choose
from that visitor can't well help
getting @torn up in his mind"-this
is peculiarly noticeable in the case Of
newly married Cor about-to-be.newly.
maeied) people. So, for their ess-
pecial benefit, the RECORDER inter-
viewed friend Hughes-we knew he
would give us the straight tip
and he evidently didn't want to dis.
courage matrimony when he answered
our questions. Said he: "How much
will fit out bcginners-well, that de-
ponds; they can expend hundreds, or.
for ten or twelve dollars, or even less
they can get right good outfit. IL
they 20 in for decorated ware, want
highest priced lamp ware, and every
thing else to correspond, q hundred
dollar note don't last long. If they
are beginners in the true sense Of
the word, they will be astonished to
see how much can be purchased for
very little money
That expression Of Mr.. Hughes
opinion outlines the whole matter.
OF course the house handles every.
thing in its lines, and makes one Of
the most beautiful displays Of what
we call fancy goods-such goods as
Bohemian, crystal, majolica and china
ware that We have ever beheld. Il Is
MOTTO be wondered at that IL does.
The proprietor, Mr.. Hughes, has
served an apprenticeship Of twenty
years at the business, and he has
studied Il as carefully as any one
could. lie Is q Virginian by birth
from Portsmouth, and in his nstive
city he still carries on the same trade
he does here, the Portsmouth house
being under the charge ofhis nephew,
]. II. Hall. There as here he com.
bines wholesaling with retailing, but
he particularly prefers 10 csier 10 the
needs Of the retail trade. He is an
importer, too, importing q large per
cent Of his English goods for both
houses, and he has had abundant OPP
portunity TO ''learn The ropes" during
the past twcnt, years.
Mr.. Hughes came 10 Raleigh three
years ago and established business.
He had visited the city at intervals
before TO familiarize himself with Il
and 70 acquaint himself with trade
possibilities, but until three years ago
he could not secure o suitable loca.
tion. When he began. here he was
stranger, but he soon made acquaint.
I ances-his trade by degrees has ex.
tended from the extreme western 10
the extreme eastern limits of the State
. and he feels that his efforts have not
! been In vain. 10 his business he
gives the closest personal attention,
and either wholesale or retail buyers
will find that every representation he
; makes can be relied upoa. The

A little book comes to us which IS q

Robert Browning, The title of the book
is Seed Thoughts for the Growing Life,
