NORTH CAROLINA TROOPS.
Work Compiled by Judge Clark TO Be
Published by the State

Published by the State
The House Committee on Education
yesterday devoted most of its time in
consideration of the bill introduced last
week by Mr.. Carraway providing for the
puolication Of 1000 copies of u book
containing sketches of the seventy North
Carolina regiments, collected and edited
by Justice Walter Clark.
Judge Clark, Col. Thomas S. Kenan
and Mr.. Carraway appeared before the
committee and spoke in behalf of the
bill.
Judge Clark said that during the war
between the States, North Carolina had
furnished more troops than any other
State, but she had written less his
tory. Some years ago the Confederate
veterans of the State had asked him to
undertake the work of compiling such
history of North Cardinals part in the
war as might now be possible. In ac-
cordance with these instructions he had
sought Il sketch of each regiment from
some survivor of that command Some
of them made most interesting reading
and were valuable contributions to his
tory. They make from ten to twenty
pages each and the whole seventy will
make book of about 900 pages
Col. Kenan, who had been appointed
a committee by the veterans TO secure
the publication of the book. estimated its
cost ut from GO to rs cents a volume.
lie didn't think the publication 1000
volumes) could. under. any circumstances,
cost over $1,000
But it is not question Of dollars and
cents, he said. 1T is a question of
whether the State regards this work
Of any historical value If so the matter
IN Judge Clarks hands ought to be at
once put in permanent form. 1t has been
said that North Carolina has made Il
great deal Of history and has written
very little. It's about time we had writ
ten some, and this is about the last call
on this matter before YOU"
Interesting and patriotic speeches Were
made by Mr.. III. G. Wall. Mr. Carraway
and other members of the committee
After striking out the clause giving
each member of the Legislature a copy
of the book, favorable recommends
