(Dr. Chas. E. Taylor, President of Wake

We live in a great State; but it is still
undeveloped. We have a glorious his
tory, but it is largely unknown, because
much Of it is unrecorded. We are to
have future in which our belated pros
perity is to dawn and our past renown
to ne heralded. 1t is because we are be-
ginning with the children that this is to
come to pass. The people of our State,

SUICIDE. STATISTICS.

The New York Sun prints elaborate
statistics of the suicides published in its
columns during the year 1901. The total
number was 500, of which 402 were men
and 1877 women. The favorite method of
self-destruction employed by the men
was shooting, and of women poison.
There we're more suicides because OF
sickness and physical ills than any other
single cause. Love episodes caused only
thirty-nine deaths of the large total
More than twice as many mcmillan wo-
men killed themselves for love. Ihcre
were but thirty-five suicides OF persons
under 20 years of age. The pe%lod OF lie
in which the desire for self-destrnction
is strongest is between the ages OF .
and "a years.

MR. HAYS GRAFTON.

For many reasons Hon. John Hay,
Secretary of State, was the fit man to
make the eulogy of Mr.. Mckinley Born
in the same State, lifelong friend,
premier of his administration, and the
most scholarly man of the cabinet, the
selection of Mr.. Hay was natural and
appropriate.
We publish the Grafton in full to-day.
1t is worthy of the dead President,
worthy of Mr.. Hay, and worthy of the
Republic. It does not measure up to
Blaine's grafton on Garfield, but that
was matchless eulogy and this genera
tion may not expect to hear its like.
