We were somewhat entertained by q
sketch in the New York Evening Post
Of One Hundred Years Ago" in that
city. No preparations were made to
greet h new century-the one just
closed. We gather that country was
waiting in great anxiety to know the
result Of a Presidential election; on this
day it was made known that "a gentle
man had arrived in town from the
South" with the report that Jefferson
had been elected over Adams. Two
hundred years ago, Captain Kidd. the
pirate had been captured. and was ly-
ing in Jail. The city was In a ferment
over the insinuations that her authorf-
ties were corrupt-that, in fact, her
chief citizens had been in league with
the pirate. It Is interesting to see how
the new century beginning January 1,
1701. was celebrated in Boston. Old
Judge Sewell made Boston celebrate
by his calling out the music. The re-

believe in giving every white child in
North Carolina every opportunity to
