The Best of It's Kind.

Part Four of the g Book of the
Fair by Hubert Howe Bancroft,
UAe Bancroft Publishing Company,
Auditorium building, Chicago, Ill.) has
been received. This like the preceding
rumbers is full and comprehensive and
up to the standard Of excellence at
tanned by the very first copy. Each
successive number lets US more and
more into the plan Of the work, which
is such, while avoiding too lengthy de-
scription. as to cover the entire ground
with sufficient detail, and present in
permanent form all the characteristics
Of the great Exposition. Next in i'm
portance to the Fair is the "Book OF
the FAIR in which, more fully than
in any other work, is reproduced the
characteristic features Of the great Ex-
position in manner worthy of the
subject Without the Fair there could
be no g. Book of the Fair" but without
the Book of the Fair which renders
perpetual the beneficial influence Of the
Exposition, the grand display would
soon drop out of mind and its influence
in a measure lost In the "Book Of
the Fair the great panorama will
move from the past to the present, in
logical and historical order. The reader
| will observe how the foundations upon
| which previous fairs were built grad
ually broadened. and like some magical
plant he will see the unfolding Of the
ideas which are at the base of the Col
umbian Exposition. Having intro
duced this latest and greatest of the
worlds fairs, the book will trace its
evolution in all details, will show how
it was built, and who were its chief
founders, ard then picture it not only
n its general, but in its special, feat
ures. In the evolution of the broad
foundation upon which the Fair was
established, in the creation Of the Fair
itself, and in the presentation Of the
gorgeous and the beWildering spectacle
which was SO recently before us, the
pencil of the artist and the pen Of the
author will be Complementary, each as
sisting the other. 1t is gratifying to
learn that so admirable a work is meet
ing such a generous reception at the
h"nds Of an appreciative public, sub
scripvions having passed the 100, 200
mark. What has given this work such
great popularity has been not only the
plan but the execution. Nothing could
have better fitted popular requirements
than work which covered the whole
ground, historical and descriptive, and
executed in the highest style of art.

THE CONFEDERATE MONUMENT,

Most of the prominent papers in
North Carolina are advocating a day
being set apart during Christmas week
to raise funds in every nook and
hamlet in the State to aid in erecting
a monument, not especially to the
ranking officers of the Confederacy,
but many an unknown grave, cover
the remains of the truest patriots of
our land. Let not the youngest child
of the State in ages to come regret
that he CT she failed to lay stone in
the monumental pile. 1t is earnestly
requested that every VicePresident o

provide a means on Christmas day tc
collect funds The ladies of Raleigh

REPUBLICAN although he is, We
were truly glad of the reelection of
Judge Gary, in Chicago, at the recent
election. As the Baltimore SIN
aptly remarks, "there seems TO be
especial qualification in the Worlds
Fair city, at the reelection of Judge
Joseph f. Gary to the bench of the
Superior Court. 1t was Judge Gary
who sentenced TO the penitentiary the
anarchists, who were afterwards
pardonded by Governor Altgeld
Few recent public acts have received
more general reprobation than the
pardon OF the anarchists and the
statement made by Governor Altgeld
in justification of it. That statement
reflected severely upon Judge Gary.
The question at issue between the
Governor and the Judge was referred
to jury of the people by the nomina-
ton of Judge Gary for reelection.
The verdict cannot be mistaken. The
Judge was elected by more than 5000
majority over the highest man on the
opposing ticket and received from
seven thousand to thirteen thousand
more votes than the other candidates
on the ticket with himself. 1t seems
that the people of Chicago have not
yet learned to sympathze with bomb
throwing anarchists or with those who
aid and abet them"

Of Pittsburg, Pa, are prospecting with

have decided to purchase the large
iron mine at Blacksburg, S. c. These
men have visited the iron mines at
Chapel Hill, Iron Station and Bessemer
City. 1t is said further that they will
open negotiations looking to the
purchase Of property near the latter
place. They have for years made all
the car springs for the Pullman
company, have large experience in
their business, are pleased with the
results thus far Of their examinations
and say there is big future for North
Carolina in the from mining and
manufacturing business. 1t is all very
