ANTIQUARIAN SOCIETY.
A CONSTITUTION AND BYLAWS
ADOPTED.
An Important Organization which
Should Meet With the Eneourage.
ment Of the Entire State AppesI
to all North Coroli aians.

For the purpose of collecting and
preserving interesting and impor-
tant historical relics and documents
of the State of North Carolina which
are being lost and destroyed, and
even sent out of the State, society
has been organized at the State
Capital. This society has been
named the "Antiquarian Society of
North Carolina" and a constitution
has been adopted for it's govern
|! ment and for carrying out the pur-
poses for which the society was Or
ganized.
No State has greater reason to be
proud of its history, both during
colonial times and since the forma-
ton of the Union, than ours; and
no State could show a more inter-
esting and valuable collection The
Importance OF collecting and pre-
serving such articles cannot be
overestimated.
The Governor has placed at the
disposal of the society a suitable
room for the care of such articles as
may be given or loaned, and the
State Librarian, Mr.. Ellington, has
kindly consented to act as custo-
dian, and will see that all articles
are properly cared for and placed
so that they can be at all times in
spected and examined By those who
desire to do SO.
| The utmost care will be taken of
such articles and documents as may
be entrusted to US, and provision
will be made for the payment of all
expenses incurred in sending them
to Raleigh. For the purpose of
raising fund to pay such expenses
and others that may be necessary
the constitution provides that any
person may become member of the
society by the payment of one dol
lar. A copy of the constitution will
be furnished on application.
We appeal to the people Of the
State to aid in this patriotic work
by joining the society and by &C.
curing for it as many as possible Of
the desired articles.
