We do not believe that in the many, years in which we have had knowl edge of newspapers in North Carolina that we have ever seen the papers of the State conducted in a more able and progressive manner than is now the case. This is a condition which applies both to the weekly, the semi weekly, and the daily papers of the State. W talk of the nroeress being made in North Carolina, and there may well be cited as one evidence of this the naners of the State. They have a healthy look, and as a rule, they go at thinsra whit a vim, and the excep tion is cettinir to be a poorly printed paper. In this, as well as in the gen eral make-up of the papers there has been a marked advance. In a marked degree the editorial columns are being handled . with a snirit which shows that the men in charge are in love with their work, a thine which is making itself felt in their utterance. In the weeklies i W. J. Miller Building livery stable and a good sold to the man bidding the to the property will be HAMMER we find there are in number of cases definite plans for advancing the in terest of their counties being followed, and that editors are 6peaking out fearlessly for the promotion of pro gressive measures. The press of a State is a good in dex of the people of a State, and judged by this the people of North Carolina are making a steady and sub stantial advance. There come into the office of the News and Observer every week almost every paper published in the State, and it is a source of grat ification to say that in our opinion, aa a class, they measure up with the best in America.
