Officers Elected for Next Year-PIans
FOR History of Internal Improve
.nlentS,

The annual meeting of the North
Carolina Historical Commission was
held yesterday morning in the office Of
the Secretary of State. Colonel j. Bryan
Grimes was reelected chairman and
Mr.. r. D. w. Common secretary. The
Commission ook official action on and
made provision for collecting and edit
ing a series Of volumes giving a dOcu-
mental history of internal improve
ments in North Carolina. These
volumes will include journals Of the
Board of Internal Improvement, pro-
c~eedings Of various internal improve
ment conventions held in the State,
official documents, laws and letters,
and Will be prOfusely illustrated with
maps. When these publications are
finished they Will be a complete his
tory of all roads, railroads, canals and
improvements or river and harbOrS
and of all other similar work which
has at various times been undertaken
by the State. Incidentally they will
throw a foo of light on economic,
social and political conditions before
the war n during reconstruction
days. Many of the great political con-
tests of ante-bellum days turned on
internal Improvements as the issue.
The publication Of these records will
require several volumes and will be a
most valuable contribution to North
Carolina history.

BELL PHONE GETS
SOUTHPORT LINE
Rapid Growth of the Exchange at
WilmingtOn-GO0d Service.

Wilmington, N. c., June 5.-June
1st the Southern Bell Telephone and
Telegraph Company purchased all tEe
property of the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Telephone Company. consisting o. the
Southport exchange and a toll line pe-
tween Wilmington and Southport.
1t is the intention of the Southern
Bell Company to entirely rebuild this
property and to push the development
of rural lines in Brunswick county
and to furnish the people of that coua-
ty and of Southport, with a service
second to none
The Southern Bell Company is not
neglecting the development of Will
mington and vicinity as will be shown
by the fact that the local exchange
now has zoos telephones.
On June 1, 1903, there were Only
$50 persons receiving service, an in
crease of 168 per cent in six years,
which, OF course, was only as the re
suit of a corresponding growth Of the
city.
The management of the Wilmington
office has also had much to do With
the increase in business, because Mr..
r. L. Boyd, the Wilmington manager,
has made more business possibly by
giving the people fine service.

at Memphis, many Of the old soldiers
and other notabies will assemble here
to attend the unwilling of q statue of
the late General Stephen Dill Lee,
who was commandments of the
Confederate organization a. the time
of his death.
1t was in the siege Of Vicksburg
thai General Lee won his spurs as a
dashing and intrepid commander, and
the last years of his life were devoted
to the perfection Of the great nation
al military park here. General Lee
died at Vicksburg May %, 1908, and
it is peculiarly fitting that the SOuth's
memorial statue to him should be
erected on the spot which he loved so
we'll. On the same day another mon
ument to his memory. though smaller
in size, will be unveiled at the State
Agricultural and Mechanical College
at Starkville, Mississippi, as he was
the first president of that institution.
This memorial, though Of lesser i'm
portance than the Vicksburg statue,
nevertheless emphasizes the universal
affection Of the people Of Mississippi
for him. Another monument will be
placed at the grave in Columbus,
where the old commander sleeps in
everlasting rest.

Senator Tillman must be very much
improved in health. We see that in

Speaking of Clemson college We are

ton and owned and controlled by the
State or it ought not to be- We say
further that either life trustee or an
elective trustee who holds the position
and also holds another position either
under the United States or under this
States is doing so in plain violation
Of the constitution Of this State which

Some Of the elective trustees recognize

In some sections Of the county some
good work is being done on the pub
lie roads. If it is kept up we can have
some good dirt roads, In fact if all
the overseers will just put full six
days work on the roads and do the
work intelligently and not just put in
the days, and the supervisor will keep
the chain gang at intelligent work we
can soon have all the roads in very
Ssoood condition. Why not do it and
show these bond advocates that we
can build roads without bonds. Make
the roads wider where they need to be
made wider and round them up In the
centre and give them good drainage
en the sides so that the first heavy
rain in that comes along will not wash
them up in great gullies.

convenience and the saving OF time
and if the railroads will not accept
the mileage on the train then the
Legislature ought to require that they
do it. Senator Tillman was evidently
out Of humor, however, because he
did not have time to purchase or eX-
change mileage for a tickcs at Bolton
and came very near being left.
We do not agree with the senator,
however. when he intimateS that the
legislature of the State is composed
of io1 Of rascals. But he is dead
right about that mileage business.
