buildings were destroyed. A heavy
rifle fire was kept up against those
who tried to extinguish the flames.
The Mohammedans outside the

THE HEAD OF THE TABLE.

North Carolina has not been the
mother of presidents. In the early
days Of the Republic. while it pro-
duced big men. it did not give the
country a Washington. a Jefferson. a
Madison or a Monroe It has given
the Republic three presidents and n
peace and war has best illustrated the
virtues of a genuine patriotic Democ-
racy.
In recent years North Carolina has
been leading her sister southern
States in building cotton mills, in
truck and other agricultural develop
ment, in providing libraries and in its
progressive legislation. Other States
have wisely copied its laws. In Moth
ing has the State shown more wisdom
and progress than IN historical re-
search and publication through the
Historical Association and the North
Carolina Historical Commission. They
have brought about a revival in let
ters and in Writing history. Mr.. L.
d. ". Connor, Secretary of the North
Carolina Historical Commission. is in
receipt Of a letter from a former
North Carolinian. now residing n Ten.
nessee, VII says:
please send me a list of the pub-
LEGATIONS OF the Historical Commission
and, as far as YOU an, copies Of
everything which the Commission has
published except the History of Edu-
cation in North Carolina, which [
have.
4 am hoping to get similar legis-
lation for Tennessee at the next ses-
sion of the Legislature and want to
begin now to work up a sentiment
using North Carolina-God bless her
AS a shining example,"
1t is a shining example" and Ten
nessee will do we'll to follow in the
example Of its mother State.
