ON THE RIGHT TRACK.

es an address to the public from the
N. G. Historical Society. We be-
lieve this is the initial step to a COM
plete, first class State history, book
which we need very much. Although
it may be years before the book is
written, this organization will collect
matter for the future writer.
| We have histories which are accu
rate compendiums of facts and dates.
Mr.. Moore, DIR. Hawks and Mr..
| Wheeler have all furnished books of
this class of great value, but the true
history OF North Carolina is yet to be
written. There is more history in an
| old gun barrel or battered sabre than
in dozens OF figures. Figures are
necessary, but after all it is the photo
graph of the times, mirror of social
customs, manners and everyday
events, that makes real history.
We care more about how our grand
fathers ate and danced rode and court
ed than that they were born on GER
tain day, fought certain battle, died
on a certain day, and lie beneath the
sod in certain cemetery. Facts andfg-
ures are the necessary skeleton frame
work, upon which the future historian
must put flesh and blood, and color and
clothes.
Virginia has been peculiarly fortu
nate in her historian. In Joh1 EsteG
Cookies Virginia" american series
of Commonwealth as in his novels,
the stately stepping beauties of a cen
fury gone come down from the faded
pictures and. dance the minuet with
the heroes Of Camden, Cowpens,
and Guilford Court House The old
halls are once more inhabited, and the
courtly bow, the buckled shoe, the
knickerbockers and powdered W: g hold
sway for the nonce. The old time
worthless talk Of their battles, their
family, their horses and, their dogs in a
most delightful way. From such a
book as this, one gains more history
from a cursory reading than from
hours Of painful memorizing of figures
and names.
Sometime..in the future, perhaps very
near, we shall find historian who
will turn on all these side lights, give
touches of color, and give the history
OF our people.
He will write Of North Carolina as
Cooke has written of Virginia; in a
fair way, yet in full sympathy with our
past, making a history which our sue.
-ceeding generations will love to read
on account of its accurate and just ex-
preston ot our forefathers' motives and
feelings.
Someday, we say, he wi | be found,
and in the meantime it is duty of
citizenship to collect all material pos
sible, against his coming. This the
Historical Society proposes to do, and
it should meet with the cordial aid of
every citizen of the State who desires
that North Carolina shall have histo-
ry that is vivid, accurate and just.

Oh, the roads, For the past two
months burdened humanity and
equinity have waded to town, to
church and to mill, and the cry that
has gone up has been that OF the little
bow in the mill pond, "grab ma by the
hair or I'll sink p A correspondent of
the Statesville Landmark has solved
the problem and advises the counties to
build shed over them He says: "The
way it is, a mountain man can only
haul few eggs and bushel of apples
and four gallons and three quarts of
brandy. If 1 had my project carried out
he could haul three times as much of
everything else and four times as much
brandy"
This plan would be something of
a novelty, in North Carolina, at least,
and if it will do what he claims, the
public would give him right hearty
grip, and probably pension.

COL. JNO. HENDERSON'S POSITION.
The tact that Hon. John s. Hen
derson has introduced bill to divide
the surplus in the Treasury to the
States for educational purposes, upon
the basis of illlteracy, has caused some
to think that he. is lukewarm in sup
port of the Blair bill. The Chronicle
happens to know that such suppose
ton does not dc Mr.. Henderson JUS
tice. He is for the Blair bill, and his
proposition was introduced, Lot to be
antagonistic to that bill, J ut to give
the Committee on Education in the
House a chance to report something
to the House on the subject. The
committee is opposed to the Blair bill,
but the Chairman and some other
members of the committee favor Mr..
Henderson's bill because it leaves the
whole fund distributed among the
States, free from vexatious restrictions
and conditions.-.State Chronicle.
