especially puzzling to almost every per-

The history of the seal and of its adop-

was under the Board OF Admiralty. The

Five cases are devoted entirely TO Wea-

which North Carolinians have participa-

rapidly, like all the others. There have
also been installed superb specimens of

North Carolina, and panther, once also

There are great many things in view
and it is probable the collection will
soon overflow into an adjoining room
and with many more cases necessary to
contain it. 1t is particularly proposed TO Sc
cure relics of Sir Walter Raleigh's colon
lists, and negotiations for some objects
are now in progress. The wall-space will
be utilized for portraits and other things.
All the work has been done without any
expenditure of money worth mentioning,

1t is estimated that at least 100000 per-
sons have during the year visited the
Hall of History. The officers OF the
Agricultural Department, including those
directly in charge of the museum IN
which is the Hall of History manifest
deep interest in the collection and in the
exhibition Of it to visitors. Visitors are
pleased to say that they know of no other
state which has such a collection, and
express their pleasure at its plan and
scope. The correspondence has been con-
siderable and the work is pressed with
particular activity. / have found it best
to do all the work of correspondence,

not too much hope that the next legis-

The State already owns the necessary
ground. The cooperation in the colec

Confederacy, etc. is assured. The work
of collecting viii now proceed more
smoothly and rapidly than ever before,
as each visitor carries away information
regarding the Hall of History which is the
most powerful incentive to owners Of

young, and 1t is q pleasure to say that

THE Legislature will do little
more than organize this week.
and next week business will be
opened at the State House. And
then if signs fail not there will
be a sort of a Kilkenny cat pull
ing for period of one hundred
days, in which the Governor and
some of the Senators and few
of the Assemblymen will be in a
big rumpus, after which the
country statesmen will return to
their plows, while the Governor
will engage in a campaign of in
struction, which will cost him his
two years salary, and then after
next falls harvesting the Mem.
bers will put in their time ex-
planning how it was that the
Governor and not they were
to blame. In about a year from
now things will begin to get red
hot, and the game wardens and
federal officials will be put on the
rack-just to divert attention,
and the following summer the
'.great battle for principle" will
be fought over again, resulting
of course, in the saving of the
country, after which there will
be the usual love feast and sue
ceeding democratic disappoiut-
ment.

NEWSPAPER BOASTS.

THE editor that has not been
invited to roast someon has not
been in the business three
months at the outside. Very
often during the year some one
is kind enough to suggest an
article to the editor which if
published would cause the air to
melt in certain regions of the
town. But it is a very rare
thing to find person who wishes
the roasting done who will father
the article with his signature, or
even be known to be connected
with its publication, and chances
are that should the article get
into print, that he would be one
of the first people to tender
sympathy to the aggrieved
party. But it may be noted to
the credit of journalism in gen
eral that editors are not resort
ing to the use of their columns
to air their personal feelings and
vent their spite to any such ex-
tent as existed ten years ago, or
even more recently. There are,
however, a few mossbacks in the
profession, who seem to glory in
the fact that they have a news
paper which enables them to say
mean things about people they
do not like. There is wide dis
tinction between malicious
roasts and just and deserved
criticism, and the newspaper
man who cannot discern the diff
ference had better change his
calling. The newspaper that
will air the personal piques of it's
editor deserves just as much to
go out of existence as the news
paper that is afraid to speak out
regarding public questions and
public matters. Once in a while
there is some fellow who is
SCARED to publish anything that
will express an opinion, who is
willing to say that his contem.
porary is abusive because he
calls attention to some fragrant
wrong. Give us the newspaper
that is not afraid tocali the spade
a spade when occasion war
rants it, but we have no use for
the paper that is simply a per-
sonal organ Of a dsypeptic body
and diseased mind.
