 Here they sot to work to build a new village. and in n month a great clear ing had been made. huts and palisades erected. plantains, yams and maize planted. and they had taken up their old life in their new home Here there were no white men. no soldiers nor any rubber or ivory to be gathered for thankless taslSmasters.
 Several moons passed ere the blacks ventured far into the territory sur rounding their new village. Several had already fallen prey to old sabor, the tiger, and because the jungle was so infested with these fierce and blood thirsty cats and with lions and leop- ards the ebony warriors hesitated to trust themselves far from the safety of their palisades.
 But one day Kulonga, a son of the old king. Mbonga, wandered far into the dense mazes to the west Warily he stepped. hls slender lance ever ready, his long oval shield grasped in his left hand close to his body-at his back his bow, and in the quiveT upon his shield many slim, straight arrows. well smeared with the thick, dark. tarry substance that rendered deadly their tiniest needle prick

This year, for the first time. a woman va.
called to the presidency Of the Teachers Assem-.
bly,. For a year it had been recognized that
Miss Mary Owen Graham, of. Charlotte, would
be elected to the high and responsible position,
and in that year she was being tried OUT in

Revolutionary times. and latterly prominent in
the States educational life. She is q daughter
of Mr.. Archibald Graham, Sr, Of Charlotte, a

PRESIDENT CLARENCE POE.

The North Carolina Historical and Literary
Association has already done a great service in
behalf of literature and in the increasing atten-
ton which its WORK is having. in bringing forth
more OF North Carolina history. The organiza.
ton has been most fortunate in tn years of its
history in having had as its presidents from
time to time men who were imbued with tho
spirit Of seeking the best for the State in its
literature, and in pressing forward in the work
Of historical research.
DR.. Clarence Poe, elected as president of the
association at the annual meeting held in Raj.
eigh last week, will prove a worthy successor Of
the men who have preceded him in. that high
position. Young in years, he has shown in his
career that he - worthy of the high honor
Which has come to him, and he has that ability
and aggressfveness which will prove valua bic
assets to the association in it's work for North
Carolina. The Historical and Literary Associa~
ton is to be most heartily congratulated on its
selection OF DR.. Poe as president, and DR., Poe
is to be congratulated in being called to 2 posi-
ton in which he has opportunity to render 50
much Of service to his State.

GETTING READY FOR CHRISTMAS.
He hat hath pity upon the poor lcndeth
unto the Lord. Proverbs xix. IL.

The season of the Christmas time is fast
with it throughout the land preparations
for the giving of Christmas gifts.
We are going to think of those Of our
own households, Of course, but we are not
going to get the true worth Of the Christ
mas spirit if we content ourselves with
that sort Of giving, for there is self in that
just as their is selfshness in the giving Of
gifts with which to curry favor. We have
to rise to heights far above such giving if
we would have the Christmas spirit.
There are people in this country, just as
there are people In the war desolated lands
of Europe, who are going without the evil
dences Of Christmas, unless those who
are able to do SO go down into their
pockets and make Christmas a reality
for these. The poor are to be remem-
bered, the widow and the orphan are to
be thought Of at this time in particular.
Out of the abundance which God has given.
out Of even scanty means. those who help
the absolutely helpless are going to have
the best Of it at Christmas.
There are days, a number of them, be
fore Christmas is here, and the thing for
each to do who can is to look around to see
where he can really help. Such giving as
will result from this will make Christmas
day the happier for him who gives as we'll
as for him who receives. And always let
us hold in mind that the true spirit OF.
Christmas giving is best ~exemplifed in re-
membering those who are in need.

TER CUP WINNER.

The award Of the atterson Memorial Cup to
DR.. J. G. deRoulhac Hamilton as the North
Carolina author who produced the strongest
book Of the year was an award which will be
endorsed by those who have read his work.
*North Carolina During reconstruction"
That volume which Dr.. Hamilton has given
to North Carolina, to the country, if you please,
is a notable contribution to the history of a
period in which the South, in which North Caro-
lima passed through a desolation Of suffering.
In these latter days the youth of the State need
to be informed upon the events OF those days,
and In his book DR.. Hamilton presents a work
of rare interest as we'll as OF historical verify.
In past awards the committees Of the North
Carolina Historical and Literary Association
have acted with discrimination in passing upon
the literary work of North Carolinians, and we
feel that we are justified in saying that in no
case has the award been more deserved than in
that of this year to DR.. Hamilton. His book
should be read by the younger generation Of
North Carolinians as well as by the older. for
1t gives a review of affairs which applies to all
our people, a review which must be of interest
to those who had part in the preservation OF
the State in those dark days. >4
DR.. Hamilton's book, as has been said hereto
fore in these columns, is a most important con-
tribution to the history of North Carolina. 1t
is a work which shows care and research, a
work which is in language that carries the story
Of the days of Reconstruction to an Intimate
realization, that puts the occurrences Of those
days Of stress and storm into terms which i'm
press themselves upon all who read. In that
publication DR.. Hamilton has done a service to
the State, and the Historical and Literary So
ciety is to be. congratulated in that it recog-
nized the merit Of a book which is filled with
the intense life of our people during days which
were a threat to the best in the State, days out
of which our people emerged victorious because
of their devotion and their patriotism in behalf
Of that ideal found in their native State, that
| ideal found in North Carolina.
