" and profound brochure OF Capt

never received the acknowledgment sc
eminently its due. Therein he clearly
shows the manner In which history
was shaped to North Carolina detrl

to please their patrons, chiefly Virgin
1ans, to put it mildly, laid great stress
on the services of Virginia troops ant
little on their failures. They klilee
and made alive the regulations OF mel

historians writing from the Southern
standpoint followed largely the Rich

written to our apparently irretrievabl
harm. Capt. Bonds pamphlet shoult

served in history.

the counties of Warren, Vance, Gran
vile, Franklin, Nash, Edgecombe, and
some others in which have less gem
eral acquaintance. This is myzp1perl-
ence, running over number OF years. |
Did not lack OF space forbid, would
give the particulars of scheme which
I have been thinking OF recently Tor
the physical improvement OF some OF
our inward friends. In view OF the
great cost of spending season at the
watering places and seaside resorts,
my plan embraces the idea OF cloth
tents and an encampment-near some
watering place, it may be, but not
necessarily so, but-at some point
where clear and wholesome water Is
abundant, and a cool and inviting
situation can be had, OF which there
are many even on the higher lands OF
this county, the use of which for the
season would cost nothing. 1t would
require some space to set forth the
small cost, the comfort and the safety
of the tenting arrangement, and how
such life for month or six weeks In
in the summer season would conduce
to the building up of delicate constltu-
lions and restoring invalids to health
But for the fact that the season is nov
too far advanced to permit realization
of such scheme the present year,
would attempt detail of the plan pro
posed, but the time ls too short now II
which to organize such scheme
though the real work of preparation
after an understanding should b'
reached need not occupy so much tim
as one week. When once it is know
: how inexpensive a canvas tent wonlt
be, and how easy it would be to chang
, from one place to another, season ate
season, such a scheme would appea
easily practicable with a small outla
of money. Such plan would offer
= fine opportunity to furnish an outln
to invalids of insufficient means by pei
sons inclined to such benevolent act
