THE REGIMKNTAL HISTORIES.

Says the Charlotte Observer:
"The fourth and last volume of
the North Carolina Regimental His,
tories has been issued 1t contains,
besides regimental histories, histo-
ries of battallions and brigades, the
Junior reserves, home guard and
military prisons and is, perhaps, the
richest and most interesting of all
the volumes. These four volumes
constitute an invaluable record, and
while all the writer's of sketches
have done we'll we are moved to say
again that Judge Clark, the editor,
has done best Of all"
This tribute to the book and to the
excellent work of Judge Clark, is
deserved. We have recently had the
privilege of examining these "Regi-
mental Histories" and the Obser-
ver's comment reminds us that the
press of the State should join in the
effort TO TO secur the largest posi-
BILE circulation of them. 1t will al
ways be a matter for congratulation
that the story of each of the North
Carolina regiments has been thus
told by a competent eye witness and
put in lasting and convenient form.
We understand, however, that the
fourth is not the last volume of this
series, but that there are to be five
volumes in all. Copies may be or
dered from Mr. M o Sheriff., State
Librarian, at the rate of 81 per vol
ume. Postage on each volume, "a
cents additional, or express charges,
must be paid by purchaser.

Charity and Children that the "dif-
ference between stealing an editorial
and stealing a pair of shoes is smaller
than some people think it is"
We are interested in the discovery
made by q correspondent of the
Presbyterian Standard shat the last
words of Cecil Rhodes, $50 little
done, so much TO do" form a quota
ton from Tennyson's "In Memo
riam'-which reminds us again that
we have not yet formed an estimate
of Rhodes that is satisfactory even
TO us. We think that very few peo-
pie have understood him, the ele-
ments in him being 30 mixed up.
His great requests TO education, pro-
vision being made for two perpetual
Oxford scholarships for every Amer
loan State and Territory, have ex-
cited much comment.
A very timely article is that on
the strawberry weevil which EDto-
mol6gist Sherman furnishes us this
week. This pest is doing consider
able damage in some sections, as the
following Wilmington dispatch in
Saturdays Charlotte Observer in
dicates: "The strawberry crop
promises TO be large though grow
arg in the Rurpaw and SOuth Wash.
ington sections report the appear
ance of the strawberry weevil, a
small insect which attacks the bloom
of the plant and makes maturity i'm
possible. The pest is not a new n
TO growers, but its appearance in the
section named will have the effect,
so it is said, to shorten the crop
nearly one-third."

THE ATHENS EDUCATIONAL CONFER.
ENCE.

The fifth annual session of the Con
ference for Education in the South
was held at Athens, Georgia, last
week. Many of the best and brainiest
men of the North and the South met
together to discuss educational
problems and to plan for improving
our schools.
The recent organization in New
York City of the General Education
Board adds significance TO this Con
ference. This Board it composed Of
some of the ablest business men of
the North and some of the best
known educators of the South. It's
purpose is to aid Southern public
schools in the way that this work
began at Greensboro a month ago
the Board will duplicate gifts of
North Carolinians to North Carolina
schools whose people in turn show
their interest by voting a local tax
on themselves. John D. Rockefeller
has already given 81, 600, 900 for this
work, and it is certain that other
wealthy men stand ready to con
tribute largely, if the South shows
itself alive TO it's opportunities. At
the Conference last week, Chairman
Baldwin, of the General Education
Board, set forth the objects of both
organizations as follows:
Ito promote education in the
whole country, irrespective of race,
sex or COLOR.
2-To develop public schools, and
especially rural schools.
$40 encourage self-help and the
urging of local taxation for schools.
4-The training OF school teachers,
especially in the industrial depart
ments.
5-To cooperate with institutions
already established and to aid in
thoir maintenance and Improvement.
6-To cooperate with other insti-
buttons of learning.
ITO collect educational statistics.
$50 furnish information regard
ing education and to be the clearing
house of educational statistics.
9-To furnish the press with in
formation looking to the advance
ment of educational interests.
10-To promote every form of de-
serving educational work.

A POSTAL CURRENCY NEEDED.

We direct attention TO the article
On ga Postal Currency" which ap-
pears on another page of this num-
Der. The proposed arrangement
would be of very great advantage to
our rural population, the vast ma
jority of whom find difficulty in get
ting bank checks or money orders
The "post- check" would encourage
trade, prove a great convenience to
millions of citizens, and insure a
cleaner currency. 1t seems to have
all the advantages of the present
paper money with several very valu-
able features added.

FARMING PROGRESS IN THE EAST.

There is no surer sign Of agr1cul'
tural progress than the buying OF
improved stock and up &c. date farm
machinery. What a great improve
ment in the financial condition of
North Carolina farmers would soon
occur, if of every county it could be
truthfully said as D. L. says of
Craven this week: "Corn shredders,
cream separators, good stock and
COW peas all becoming popular"
But Craven is not the only eastern
county that is taking long strides
forward. The Rich Square Times of
last week says that farming in the
entire Roanoke Chowan section is
gradually undergoing a great
change, and for the better" And
Editor Conner sets forth the best
possible proof of his assertion in the
statements that follow:
t'Instead of cotton fields and corn
patches of a few years ago we find a
great variety of crops, and the latest
improved machinery. Manure spread
ers, grain drills, moving and reaping
machines and such machinery a few
years ago could not be found on the
farms in this section now they IRE
largely used and the sale for them is
rapidly increasing. Sale of Western
meat in this section has decreased
fully hundred per cent. in ten
years while the shipment of beef cat
tie from here has assumed large pro
portions, whereas a few years ago
raising of cattle for market was not
attempted"

EDITORIAL NOTES

State Eutomologist Butz, of Penn
Bylvania, adds his not very fatter
ing testimony TO that of many other
authorities IN the moth catcher.
Read what he says on page l.
The program of the East Tennessee
Farmers Convention, as outlined on
page 1, is very attractive, and should
draw an unusually large crowd to
the next annual meeting a month
hence.
The Gastonia Gazette now appears
semi-weekly instead of weekly, as
heretofore. Few North Carolina
quill drivers give evidence of more
talent in newspaper making than
does Editor Marshall. We wish him
SUCCESS.
Is is a little late to say So, but it is
worth recording as we go along that
the News and Observer and Char
lotto News recently issued Charles
ton Exposition editions that reflected
great credit on those that brought
them out.
The authorities have agreed, we
believe, that this is the year in
which we may expect the seventeen
year loousts. State Entomologist
Sherman has prepared an article on
the subject which we purpose pub
fishing soon.
Frank R. Stockton, one of the best
known American novelists, died in
Washington City g few days g
He had written many books, the best
known perhaps being "The Lady or
the Tiger" The world is happier
for his having lived in it.
A bulletin issued by the Census
Bureau last week showed that North
Carolina leads all the rest of the
States in sweet potato production.
For the year covered by the census
statistics our acreage was 68, 73O, pro-
ducing $751; 87 bushels, worth 3d.
119, 956. 1t is interesting to note
that Georgia had a larger acreage
"a, 62O-and valued her smaller pro-
d%uotion, 5,O87,6 ga bushels, at So
1854, 800.

school in the South, the third in the

a century of good work, this excel

whole State should be interested,
and we congratulate the faculty and

WHAT DO YOU KNOW OF THE OLD
SOUTH!

THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER offers a
copy of Rev. James Battle Avirett's
"The Old Plantation" a description
of ante-6eLLum life in North Carolina
(bound in cloth, 2O2 pages) as a prize
for the most interesting letter re
garding the South of other days
incidents, "reminiscences, sketches,
ETC., of life in the South in slavery
days, or in the Civil War, or in the
days of Reconstruction and the
Kuklux. Any writer can discuss
any one or all three periods. The
prize will not be awarded until at
least eight writer's enter the contest.
Here is an opportunity for our
older readers to describe to ayounger
generation the periods of Southern
history shat are to have no parallel
in the future and must, except for
the descriptions of those that lived
through them, be forgotten or mis-
understood.
We hope that a large number of
our readers, both men and women,
will write US their reoolleotions of
the Old South.
