To the Editor of the News and Observer.
RALEIGH, N. O, May 19.
In the North Carolinian of Nav
10Th there appears an article clipped
from the Greensboro Record, init
mating that it came from the Bibli-
cal Recorder, being 6 reply from
DR.. Bailey in regard to communi-
cation concerning the Normal and
Industrial School at Greensboro.
No such reply from DR.. Bailey as
was published has ever appeared in
the Recorder, and if you will COM
pare the article from the Greensboro
Record with that which the Recorder
published you will find considera-
bic difference. Now, a very inter
esting question arises: How did
the Record get statement so diff
ferent from the truth?
I am informed, upon investiga-
ton, that Mr. McIver, president Of
the Normal and Industrial School,
went to the Recorder Office and
wrote, himself, what he supposed
would be printed as DR.. Bailsy's re-
ply, but after he left the Office DR.
Bailey made some inquiry as tc
facts III the case, and wrote his re-
ply 10 conform thereto In the
meantime, however, MIR. McIver hac

HEAVY SNOWSTORMs

snow storm nettcd New York eleven inches

here in New York city. but there was
enough to cool pans of taffy all along the

center was off the coast of Long Island,

Our Degenerate Little Toe.

The whole history of the organism
bears testimony to the marvellous
persistence OF parts in spite Of con-
tumely and disuse. Take, for example,
the present position OF the little toein
man. We know not the condition of
this digit in historic man, and have
but little information as to it's state
among savage tribes at the present
day, but we know that in civilized
peoples, whose feet are from infancy
subjected to conditions OF restraint, it
is an imperfect organ
'ot every function shorn
Except to act as basis for corn
In one per cent OF adults the second
and third joints have anchylosed, IN
three per cent the Joint between them
is rudimentary, with scarcely a trace
OF a cavity, in twenty per cent of feet
the organ has lost one or more OF it's
normal complement OF muscles. But
though shorn OF some OF it's elements,
and with Others as mere shreds, the
toe persists, and he would be bold
prophet who would venture to lore
cast how many generations OF booted
ancestry would suffice to eliminate it
from the organization OF the normal
man.-Popular Science Monthly.

IN NORTH CAROLINA.
Something About Christmas Cele.
bration in That State.

Sewer Station, in the north Caro-
lima mountains, knew nothing OF the
high significance which modern
thought attaches to the great festi-
val OF the Christmas year. 1t was the
day, however, on which Colonel
Royal sent, before breakfast, bum
per OF foaming egg-nog to every white
man and womanin the clarin.' Every
negro who asked for it had so
warmin" OF whisky at the colonies
expense. 1t was the day, too, on
which Squire Barr gave his annual
tremendous dinner of turkey and
chicken pie, at which the six
families OF the village all sat
down together. Mrs. Missoury Barr,
also, made a practice OF sending
dishes Of roast pork and hominy,
or 'possum stewed in rice and molas-
ses, or some such delicacy, to every
negro cabin. There was a general in
terchange OF gifts; brierwood pipes, or
plllNiDeCh oCt1l pms, VI CdheS VI SOd
in the shape OF dogs heads, all OF
which elegant triles had been pur-
chasedfro travelling peddlers months
before, and stored away for the great
occasion. Nobody was forgotten,
from the squire to the least pickanin
ny in the quarters.
There was vague idea throughout
the clarin' that the day was one in
which to be friendly and to give old
grudges the go-by; the Lord was sup
posed, for some reason, to be nearer
at hand on that day than usual,
though not SO near as to make any
body uncomfortable
Father Rugees, the Jolly old Metho,
dist itinerant, was up in the noun
tains, and had sent word he was
coming down for his Christmas dinner.
He'll ask a blessin' on the meal,
thank Heaven" cried Mrs. Missoury
with devout sigh.
The squire hurried with the news to
the colonel
"It'll be a big OCCASION" he said,
triumphantly. "Fatber Ruggles IL be

on you fob maxim de coffee, Colonel.
