Atlantic Hotel, Morehead City, n. c.,
Aug. ID have heard during my SER
many kind things said of it's numer-
Gus magnificent big editions, but never
before have I heard so many kind per-
sonal words of praise for the various
members of the staff.
This is, of course, because the issue
on Sunday was largely a personal one,
telling as it did of the lives and for
tunes of men who had in days past
with small beginnings contributed to
the success of The News and Observer
of today, and of the present corps
which gives to the State. as one said
to me TODAY 1.-The greatest newspaper
published in North Carolina and the
best friend the State has ever had.
The Anniversary Edition is the tax
of Camp Lee and of the guests OF the
Atlantic Hotel. 1t is praised on every
side and in so kindly a manner that IL
shows that The News ana Observer is
considered as ''Sorter' belonging 10 the
families in which il circulates. Yet II
the other members of the staff have
been 'prodded" about theirs as | have
been about the cut from which | gaze
out they are getting to shrink from
the fellow who begins to 1est.

GERS of the staff and regiments IN

eral verdict.
