NORTH CAROLINA RECORDS.

Largely through the influence which is
being very actively exercised by the principal
educational institutions of North Carolina,
there is very notable increase of interest
among the people of that State in the pre-
seryation of all the records which throw light
upon the history OF their Commonwealth.
In a recent number Of the Raleigh News
and Observer we find very interesting COM
munication from lion. Thomas f. Wood. in
which he dwells with regret upon the fact
that there is no central depository of histori-
cal documents in the State. He urges the
necessity of movement towards the perma-
neut establishment and endowment OF State
historical society. With such a society upon
a sound financial footing and under the man
agement OF a competent executive. he justly
claims that historical material which is now
hidden away in obscure hooks and corners
would be presented 10 the society library 10
interest visitors, to excite further research
and to form a basis for complete history Of
tho State.
Mr.. Wood mentions in this connection
having recently seen in the hands of pri-
vate party paper which is the only known
evidence in existence that there was a Society
Of the Cincinnati in North Carolina. He de.
clares that there are many other papers bear
ing at length on tho Colonial and Revolu-
tonary period which are now scattered
among the private families in the State
while in the oldest courthouses, Wilmington.
Newberne, kdenton, Hillsboro. Morganton
and Charlotte. there are deposited documents
which should by special legislative provision
be transferred to fire proof State historical
building.
The Wilmington Library Association is in
possession of many interesting historical
relics of every character Other associations
throughout the State have become deposi-
tories of similar relics simply because there
is no central library adapted to their preser-
walton.
Mr.. Wood calls attention 10 the fact that
Wisconsin has the largest collection OF North
Carolina historical material to be found in tho
United States which he regards as discredi-
table to his own State. Whether his general
criticism be deserved or not, the fact remains
that North Carolina, unlike Virginia. has had
the enterprise to have copied all the Colonial
records bearing on her history now stored in
the Record Office in England. and these re-
cords have been published in ten splendid
volumes.
A suggestion Of Mr.. Wood In this oonnsc-

IT is said to be characteristic of Stenway,

conservative influences of the institution of
marriage. 1t Is not 80 much desire to assist
men who from the claims of family upon their
resources have the greatest need OF assistance.
which governs him. as belief that in the long
run the married man is more capable of re-
sisting temptation. and more eager to give
satisfaction than the unmarried man. Tie
argument is doubtless sound, but if applied
by all employers of labor it would leave a
considerable number out in the cold. and

ties which cultivate the very conservative in
fluences upon which Mr.. Steinway lays so
much emphasis in combining his selection to
married men when he chooses his employees.
