WOOdard and Victor Bryant. The

tigatiOn Of the books, etc, Of the
Southern railway in connection with

vn | There are now about a dozen station
~ in the state. More men are secure
or in the west than in the east and
ar The smaller places than in the large

H. army. 4 large number Of North Ca
10 CI;nians have served in the Philil

n the circuit of the world. A few yeal
re ago this would have been though
Ixe very notable thing but now mott
lis ing is thought Of It.
re The most earnest efforts are to
made to secure for the Hall Of Hi
he torv here a large number Of relic
ng documents. etc, now on view IN Il

addition of these to the great numb'
en- already here will be strong featu1
ne in the showing of the need for
special building at Raleigh.
