AN EPOCH-MAkING EVENT..

The celebration to take place at Roanoke Island next August is interesting po-
pie outside of North Carolina as vel as in the State. The petition prepared
for resntation to Congress, a paper worthy TO be preserved for its able and elo-
celebrated. is published in full in the Memphis Commercial Appeal, which says
leditoially:
"a celebration to omnemna the birth Of te first English white child n

may axe a just pride. 1t recalls the awfuld hangers of those early days, the

A GOOD B N T

The election OF State Senator j. 4.
Long, Of Person, as President of the
State Fair, has been widely approved.
In enumerating his strong points on the
morning after his selection. this paper
omitted one that will endear him to the
army OF nimrods, and particularly the
rabbit hunter Of Chatham county. The
Roxboro Courier gives us this additional
information:
Hon. J. A. Long and party went rabbit
hunting one day last week and brought
in sixty rabbits and twenty birds. Rab-
bit hunting is Mr.. Longs speciality, and
when he goes after them he generally
returns loaded-with rabbits
1t is to be hoped that Mr.. Long will
give more ~couragern in the State
Fair to the rabbit industry. 1t is a
great source of revenue. particularly in
Chatham county. and a great source OF
delight to the palate, especially in Raj
eigh. and if MIR. Long will offer prizes for
the best rabbit skin to wrap the baby
up in" he will score a success with all
lovers Of the rabbit and all rabbit
hunters.

THE GOOD ROADS CONVENTION.

The visit Of Col. ". II. Moore to Raj
eigh served to stimulate deep interest in
the Coco Roads Convention. which is to
be held in Raleigh early in February.
Colonel Moore is not only an expert in
road construction but is a man of affairs
"a general, a diplomat, an executive.
He knows all about road building and
how to interest the people in it. His
mission is not merely to build sample
stretches Of good road In several towns
and counties. That is but the book out Of
which the lesson in road building IS
taught. His mission to show the practi-
cal value OF good roads, to show how
they are constructed. 1t was PestilotZi,
we believe. who said: The way to learn
how to do a thing is to do it." That is
why Colonel Moore, the Good Roads
train and all who are interested in it are
holding kindergarten road schools. They
arc doing a great work for the sections
through which they pass, and in Colonel
Moore the movement has the right man
in the right place.

THE NEW GRAND MASTER.

More new faces were seen at the present
session OF the Grand Lodge OF Masons this
year than ever before in the history Of
the annual sessions of the Grand Lodge,
and it is the best looking body that has
assembled in Raleigh. Young blood has
been introduced into the order under the
able and progressive term of General
Beverly s. Register, who retired from the
high position last night. He has made
a model officer and has set the pace for
his successors.
The new Grand Master, DR.. II. I. Clark,
has long been known as one of the best
and brightest MasonS in the State. His
devotion to Masonry, his knowledge Of
the foundations upon which it rests, his
zeal for its growth and honor have en-
deared him to his brethren who are de-
lighted to do him honor. AS a man and
as a Mason he is worthy of the position
TO which he has been called.

things for this city. II will be another
long step toward making it the education

grow in manufactures and trade, but its
chief glory must be as an educational

AN FORWARD


The trustees of the University of
eigh Yesterday took an important step
forward when they determined to estab-
lish in Raleigh the University of North
Carolina College Of Medicine. The Uni
vcrsity already has at Chapel Hill the
beat preparatory medical school in the
South. The full course, leading to a
diploma, cannot be given there, because
the population is small and there is no
hospital. For some time the University
authorities have had in contemplation the
establishment of a Medical College de-
partmcnt in Raleigh that would supple
mont the work at Chapel Hill. The
course CT instruction, leading TO q diplo-
ma. will embrace the first two years in
Chape! Hill and the last two years in
Raleigh. 1t is a matter for State and
city graduation that the trustees have
seen their way clear to take steps that
viii load to the establishment Of this
important branch Of the work Of the
University in Raleigh his fall.
The election Of Dr.. Hubert Register as
Dean is guarantee of the success Of the
new department. He is easily the abicst
man Of his years in North Carolina, and
his professional ability, executive ca
pacitv. enthusiasm and good Judgment
combine the very qualities needed for
the building up Of q College OF Medi-
cine in tho capital OF North Carolina.
There Is no moro reason Why racdical
students should be forced TO leave North
Carolina to complete their medical edu-
cation than that law students should bc
Indeed thero is moro reason why the
medical student should receive his edu-
cation in his own State. for here he Wi
