TWO LEARNED ADDRESS s.

The criticism has been made that North
Carolina has produced in late years no
books or pamphlets that have circulated
beyond the limits of the State, and that
North Carolina scholars seem to be lack
ing in creative genius. There has seemed
to be foundation for this criticism. Our
scholars and thinkers have not realized
the Importance of writir g books, or of
collecting and publishing historical infor-
nation. AS a result we have suffered at
the hands of nearly all historians, and
made to appear too often in an unenviable
light Only last week we took occasion to
refer to the unjust criticisms that have
been made about North Carolina upon its
failure to ratify the Constitution when first
proposed. The delay was greatly to our
credit and honor, but we did not so prove
to the world as early as we ought to have
done. So in regard to the achievements
of North Carolina in the Revolutionary
and Civil Wars. Citizens of other States
wrote the first histories and we have been
denied justice. But, happily for US, we
believe that there is growing spirit of
research and of production of books and
pamphlets in the State and determna-
ton to remove the stigma that North Car
olina has no authors who deserve National
reputation.
In the past year Hon. KEMP P. BATTLE,
Ii. D., President of the University of
North Carolina, has delivered two address
es, and caused them to be printed, which
have won for him high praise not only in
North Carolina but in dozen States Of
the Union, At the request Of the Supreme
Court of North Carolina he delivered an
address in Raleigh during the sitting of
the Legislature on the History of the Su-
preme Court At the time we comment
ed in the CHRONICLE on its value as a con-
tribution to our history. 1t has recently
been printed in pamphlet form and it has
also been printed in a late volume of the
N. G. Supreme Court Reports. This evi-
dence of the high estimate the Supreme
Court placed upon the address is a com
pliment so unusual as to be most crafty
ing to the distinguished author. 1t thus
becomes part of the official records of
the Supreme Court. The address is in DR..

thorough knowledge of the subject, an in

Merchants, Association.

The meeting of the Merchants Associa-
tion in the Board of Trade rooms last
evening was one of special interest. A
quorum was promptly on hand and Presi-
dent Hawes despatched the business with
his usual thorouQhness and discretion.
The minutes read reported names Of many
active business men newly elected, and
some of them were present and took an
active part in the discussion. The matter
of early closing being SO well assured as
the result of the past work of the Asso-
ciation, this subject attracted little atten-
tion.
The principal subjects before the meet
ing were those of electric lights and adj
vertising rates. Messrs. Furst, Vessels,
Watson, Van Anglen and Baron were
special COMMITTEES on Lights, and Messrs.
Watson, Moriarty. Meltzer and Hawes
a Special Committee on Advertising.
These are matters of great Importance to
all merchants, and they believe their In
terests can best be promoted by unity OF
action. The opinion prevailed that the
coming election day would not be consid-
cred legal holiday and stores will then
probably be open as usual.
Other matters of minor importsnce
were considered and the meeting adj
journed about ten O'Clock.

A CARPENTERS CoNCLAyE.
The Eight Hour Day and Other Labor
Topics Discussed.

The Eight Hour Day and Other Labor
Topics Discussed.
Last night Carpenters Union NO. 4S2,
of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners, held the first of a series of
monthly public meetings on behalf of the
cause of trade unionism. There was a
large attendance and much enthusiasm.
President James Anderson called the
meeting to order and, after briefly MOTTO
ing the objects of the gathering, intro
duced the speakers.
Mr.. A. w. Saunders said that every
workingman should be his own politician.
In Congress there were 300 lawyers and
not a single workingman. Mr. Saunders
advocated the single tax idea and, ballot
reform and concluded by recommending
the organization of workingnen from one
end of the land to the other for the re-
forms which are needed.
Walking Delegate Robinson, of New
York, defended the walking delegates
from the attack which had lately been
made upon Them by a clergyman in New
York. Many first class hod carriers were
spoiled, he said, when some individuals
got up to preach.
The same amount of brains it took to
make first class carpenter would make
sirable that the Brotherhood in Jersey
City should have a walking delegate, but
they should be exceedingly careful whom
they elected to such responsible posi-
tion. Strikes should be avoided as much
as possible, but the tyrrany of bosses
generally occasioned them.
His experience in the carpentry trade
was that the best workmen and those
most respected in society were good union
men. Let each member of the union
conduct himself as though he were the
whole union and they would get the re-
spect of the bosses and the public at large
John w. Jakeway could look back with
great deal of pleasure to the fourteen
years he worked at the carpentry trade.
In those days, just before the great panic,
the carpenters of New York agitated and
secured the eight hour work day. But
they were foolish enough to believe the
doctrine that the more they worked the
more they would earn and they returned
to ten hours a day.
There was about to be made another
effort to establish an eight-hour day, and
he presumed the organization he was adj
dressing would not be the last to go into
the fight. 1t was an undeniable fact that
every time the hours of labor had been
reduced there had been an increase in
education and culture.

Chief Ranger Bonell, of Court Bergen,
A. O. f., has received letter from a
brother Forester in Smethwick. Stafford
shire, from which the following extract
is clipped:
81 duly brought the action of Court
Bergen before our Court (St, Matthews),
and no doubt by this time you have re-
ceived q communication from our secre-
tary, with Court seal attached, showing
at least Court Matthew's sympathizes
with you in the struggle which. in my
opinion, is not question of color, but a
question of England versus Ireland; and
/ do trust that the gallant stand
Court Bergen has made, not only
to uphold the grand principles that
God made one flesh of all nations on the
earth, but to keep out of our noble order
all questions of politics, and to show to
the world that the Foresters'' motto,
Sympathy is no empty sound, but n
motto the carrying out of which is the
pride of every member of the A. 0. F."
