of farmers. He says he was greatly
impressed by their evident prosperity.
Sunday afternoon he addressed the Y.
NJ. c. A. and Sunday evening the Law
and Order club at the Presbyterian
church. He was asked today for a New
Years message to the people of North
Carolina, and said: North Carolina

For W hours and a half yesterday
there was a rapid snow fall, but owing
to the warmth only about two inches

The condition of State Treasurer La

No surprise is expressed by any one
here that the Charlotte committee
which went to Baltimore to see the
alleged copy of the Cape Fear Mercury

Engton Miller, who claims this discov-
cry. ignored the request of the North
Carolina Historical Commission TO
send an expert there, to make an ex-
animation. Mr.. Ford, of the National
Library, was selected to go, but Miller

gr/ms. Miller 10Y stands exposed and
the whole affair ends ingloriously.
