Mr.. H. L. Coward has shown Us
some old clippings that
were taken from an issue Of the Raj
eigh Register. printed in 1858, fifty
three years ago, which he found put
away in an Did family Bible coming
down to him from his ancestors. one
of these clippings that impressed US
very much vas about the population
of Raleigh at that time, showing that
away back in those days, even as
now, there was contention over the
number Of people the towns had. This
clipping stated that the commissions
ers of Raleigh had just had a census
taken. and much to the surprls OF
everybody, the population was only
4,235. while it was thought to be be-
tween seven and eight thousand.
In those days when but few Of the
counties had newspapers, legal ad-
vertiSements had to be sent to the
Raleigh papers, and we noticed one
from Pitt county among these clip
pings from the Register.

Sc the story runs, Josephus n forty

Of the historian began to work, de-
yising a scheme to save himself and

that they all stand in a s~emi-circ1e,
that they put each other to death. kill

and that the last surviving nan should
then commit suicide. This agreed
