Bishop Cbeshire's Address.

Bishop Cheshire said that he would make
no apology beforehand but would explain
that unavoidable engagements had made
It impossible for him to give even SO much
as half an hour to the preparation of an
address, but he esteemed it pleasure as
well as an honor, to speak to North Caro-
llnas school teachers about North Caro-
ina's history.
He first directed their attention tn the
Importance of gathering and preserving
historical material. He called attention
to the fatality which seemed to have at
tended collections of North Carolina
historical material Dr. Williamson. whose
history was published in 1872, seems to
have made considerable collections of
such material but he removed North be-
fore the publication of his history. and
his collections had disappeared Judge
Martin, whose history was published in
1929, had certainly collected MANY doeu-
ments and much printed material. but IL

vIOLATORS OF LAW
A Warning Against Illegal
Insurance Business in
the State.

II is the desire OF the Insurance Com
missioner to call the attention of the
officers and citizens of the State to the
repeated attempts Of certain companies
to do business in this state in violation OF
the law. He is led to make this public
announcement because of the fact that so
many letters are received at the depart
ment making inquiry as to the reliability
Of certain companies.
There are two classes of companies that
seem to be determined to- do business in
the State without complying with the
law. One class is Registry Companies,
represented by the international Registry
Company, giving assuts home office ISL
Broadway, 1S9 Broadway and sometimes
231 Broadway. New York. city, the Com
mercial Registry Company, of st. Louis,
Mo-. and others. These companies pro-
pose to register their victims and to
sell them cheap accident insurance They
are required to be licensed by this de-
partment under section 81 of the general
insurance law, and no one can legal
work for them as agent or in any repre-
sent them in the State without being Ii
censed by this department.
The other class of companies above re-
eerred to are certain bond. investment and
such like companies. These are also re
quired to be licensed by this department
and to have their agents licensed. They
are making repeated efforts to do bust
ness i'm the State without being licensed
by this department. Some Of they have
stopped business upon being notified by
the commissioner
The commissioner desires to warn citi-
zens of the state against these concerns
and to urge upon them and the officers
Of the State to give him any information
that they may have or that comes to their
knowledge as to any attempts of any of
the above class of companies to do bust
ness in this State 1t is the desire of the
commissioner in the premises to do his
duty in enforcing the law and to protect
the citizens of the state from unlicensed
and worthless" companies.
Commissioner Young requests that the
papers of the State give publicity to this
article so that the people may be warned
against the parties to whom he refers.

ever made by one person-were after his
death sold to the New York Historical So
ciety.
The bishop therefore emphasize the inn
portance of collections and preserving
such things as may remain, and assured
his hearers that almost any of them
might hope by a diligent investigation of
county records and family papers old let
tiers and newspapers, to add little now
and then to the records of the past. He
illustrated this by some experiences of his
own, and in concluding this part of his
subject he exhibited a small insignificant
looking pamphlet of some thirty or forty
pages, which his uncle, the late Governor
Henry T. Clark, of Edgecombe, had picked
up in that county some years ago, and
which proved to be the only copy known
to exist of the journal of the Hillsboro
convention of 1885, which rejected the
Federal Constitution.
After dwelling at some length upon this
point, the speaker pointed out the very
valuable collections made of late years
and brought within reach of all by the
first Of the Colonial Records,
and now of the Revolutionary Records.
He also mentioned the important work
done by individuals III JnlS line, especially
by Mr.. Hathaway, in his Historical and
Register.
North Carolina, he said, was State of
stable population. The same people in
habted her counties who had settled there
in the seventeenth and eighteenth CEN
turtles, and anything which illustrates the
history of North Carolina families is val
liable as bearing on the history of the
State.
In conclusion, Bishop Cheshire urged
upon the teachers the Importance of think.
ing for themselves and not blindly follow
ing popular writer's or speakers. The his
tory of North Carolina has its myths and
the wealth of material recently made ac-
ceptible was to be carefully studied and
digested, before its full value and signfi-
canoe can be fully appreciated and made
available for the preparation of satisfae-
tory history.
After concluding his address Bishop
Cheshire showed to those interested some
rare and valuable books relating to the
early history of the State.
