TO REPRINT OLD HISTORIES.

To the Editor: / know of no better way
to accelerate the growing interest in the
history of the State than to render our
older historical works accessible to all
Lawson (even in the reprinD, Martin,
Williamson Foote Hawks and even
Wheeler are scarce and high. Some of
them excessively so. All of these works
are of more or less value. Lawson be-
sides being an exceedingly interesting
book, gives valuable glimpses of North
Carolina life while the red man was still
here and the white man had just come,
meeting as is we'll known death from
torture at the hands of the Indians.
Wheeler is verhable mine of lore,
historical, genealogical we'll from
which each man may draw according to
his understanding, as Coke, l believe it
was, said of the law.
Martin, Hawks. Williamson and other
are of less value but still worth reprint
ing. There are hundreds of historical
students in our midst who would be de-
lighted to own copies of these books il
they were to be had at the low price OF
new publications-sa 81 each. Nor could
there be a better way to bring about the
production of worthy history of the
State than to arouse a general interest
in those old books.
Some North Carolinian of means who
loves letters and his State could prove
himself Macenas indeed by having
these works, or the best of them, and
perhaps other worthy books on the same
line, reprinted in an inexpensive form.
The sale of the reprints would largely or
probably very nearly cover the whole ex-
pense incurred. The deficit would not ex-
coed a few hundred dollars at least
/ hope that some individual will take
this matter up. The State Literary and
Historical Association will probably find
work enough for it's energies along other
kindred lines.

TENNYsoN.s TWO SEA poEMs.

Tennyson loved all nature, but espe-
cially he loved the sea. From boyhood
he had found delight in the study of it's
every mood and change, and over and
over again its echoes sound through his
verse. In two poems, however, his in
depreciation OF the sea rises into food
tide of poetic feeling and beauty.
The first of these is the fragment,
Break. break. break" When he wrote it
the poet was still young man, with his
fame waiting in the upfolded years. with
the ear of the world as yet but grudgingly
accorded him; with his heart wrecked by
one of its first great sorrows in the death
OF Arthur Hallam, whose bride his sister
was so soon to have been, and the close
knit friend of his deepest heart-.'Mo
than my brothers are to me"--for whom
his love was to flower in that noblest of
eIegies. In Memoriam."
1t was while this sorrow in its fresh
ness touched and Swallowed all the world

The Case of a Baptist Minister.
(Memphis. Tenn, Dispatch.)

(Memphis, Tenn, D1spatch.)
Rev. Ira Esteph, who for years has
been a minister in the Baptist church in
Inez, KY, was expelled from the ministry
of the church on the charge of violating
the rules of the church on the question
of baptism. short time ago his daugh-
ter, Mrs. Fannie Meeks. died, and just
before she expired she asked her father
to baptize her. She was too i'll to be inn
mersed, as the church requires. and Mr..
Esteph performed the service by pouring
water on her head. For this act he was
brought before the Baptist congregation
in this city for trial, but was indicated
Then the church obtained change of
venue and the case was transferred to
Wrads chapel, three miles north of Inez
where Mr. Esteph was found guilty of
violating the laws of the church. His Ii
cense was at once revoked. Mr.. Esteph
will appeal to the courts for redress.

MR. zoLL1cOFFER NAMED AGAIN.
he Would Make an Ideal Supreme Court JUS
tice, Says Mr.. Blacknall

To the Editor: Now that the Associate
Justiceships of the Supreme Court are
being discussed, l should like to say that
We have here in Vance county man
whom this office should seek For he
does not seek the office, though he is
most eminently Qualified by requirements,
by training and by temperament for it.
This the highest court in the State should
be composed not only of the most learn
ed and clearest- headed men that we have,
but men to whom nature has vouchsafed
the judicial temperament-fair- minded
men; men to whom love of justice is a
birth right.
We have just that kind of man. Not
that he is more honorable than other
gentlemen who will be named in this con-
nection, though he is the soul of honor;
not that he knows more law than all of
them, though he is one of the very best
equipped and soundest lawyers in the
State, but that he has to an eminent de-
gree the judicial temperament. He loves
justice and loves it so well that all other
considerations yield place to this first and
paramount love.
SO pre- eminently does he possess
this rare and golden quality that men
seek and readily acquiesque in his de-
cisions. He has repeatedly been called
on to act as referee in cases of the high
est Importance, cases requiring profound
legal learning, penetration, the most
power of discrimination, a clear head
