The editors of many North Carolina newspapers arrived hero Tuesday and are now on Carolina beach ready for the an nual convention of the North Corolinu, Press Asssociation. Between 50 and 75 members of the Associaton arrived Tues day. The attendance will very probably be well in excess of one hundred. Quite a number of editors are aceompaniod by ladies. The incoming trains were met by members of tho Chamber of Commerce Committeo and repre sentatives of the local press. Mr. J. B. Sherrill, Secretary of the Press Association, also met the afternoon trains and shared tho pleasure of receiving the news paper men, providing them with badges and advising them as to arrangements for their transpor tation to tho beach, and the plans of the reception and entertain ment committee. The gates of Wilmington and her two superb summer resorts are thrown wide open to the visiting editors. As previously announced their badges are recognized for free transpor tation on the Wilmington street cars, on the steamer Wilmington and for tho privileges of Sedgely hall and Hanover Seaside clubs. Commodore Jas. V. Post, Jr., of Atlantic Yacht club, and Commodore Ancrum Lord, of Carolina club issued a general invitation for association mom bers to visit these splendid club houses on Wrightsvule beach. The Seacoast railroad from Wilmington to Wrightsville beach also tenders free transpor tiition to the editors and their families during their stay in tlx city. Wilmington Star of 12th. A Kemitrknblc (Jeyscr In Southern California. The people of Southern Cali fornia have recently been favored with one of the most extraordinary exhibitions of natural phenomenon on record one which has even astonished beyond measurement all classes of a community raimliar already with instances of what nature can accomplish when it sets out to do something out ol tho com mon. Southern Californians are used to shocks of earthquakes, incipi ent volcanoes, or threatening tidal waves, that it takes some thing extremely eruptive to dis turb their ordinary composure, but the successful effort of a rural rancher in his search for water with which to irrigate his fields, parched with a Ion, drought, has turned Ihe gaze of the whole State toward the little town of Whittier, a hamlet locatod in tho neighborhood of Los Angeles. Some weeks ago a farmer named My res, living at Santa Fe Springs began sinking at artesian well. Others in the neighbor hood had successfully tapped a subterranean How of depths of from 300 to 400 feet and Air. Myres hoped for a successful issue to his enterprise. By slow stages the drills decended until a depth of 500 feet was attained. This was on Sunday, May 14. A drill 200 pounds in weight was employed, aud the prospect of tapping a good How of water was bocoming more and more en couraging. A 10-iuch pipe had been sunk some distance and the usual preparations made for con -troling tho How when it did make its appearance. The heavy drill was working with its usual monotonous regularity when, after one deep plunge, a loud roaring sound was heard coming from the well, accompanied by jets of muddy water and the out hurt of heavy stones. Soon alter, the drill itself made its appearance, followed by a grand column of water which forced itself higher and higher until the top reached an elevation of 500 feet. The How was accompanied by vast quantities of gas smelling of sulphur strongly and igniting when fire was applied, burning with a strong blue flame. Oil in considerable quantities was mixed with tho flow. The stone were thrown to an equal height with ttho water, and the exhibi tion of tremendous force was appalling to the last degree No geyser of the Yellowstone ever displayed such activity. The column of muddy water was like a great pillar extending al most to tho clounds, and falling back to tho earth again in grace ful festoons. The force exerted was equal to a thousand power ful engines. For two weeks this phenomenon has been active, though some diminution of the force exerted is beginning to Vie apparent. The flow of water is enormous, and the country be ing flat some difficulty is appre hended in its control. ScientiHc American.

In spite of the urgent irequests of many colored men of this country that at least one or two of the ten new volunteer regi ments for tho Philippines be made up of colored men, it is certain that all regiments will consist solely of white men. Tho War department was not favor ably impressed with tho colored volunteer regiments raised last summer. There is no disposi tion to underrate the worth of the colored regulars. The superb valor of the Tenth Cavalry, the "Black Rough Riders, " is acknowledged, and good work i expected from the men of the Twenty-fourth and of the Twenty-fifth, infantry, which have been lately ordered to Manila. But it is claimed that the colored volunteer is not amenable to the same discipline as the colored regular. The colored volunteer regiments, both immunes and State regi ments, gave the War Depart ment no end of trouble, and a great sigh of rel ief was breathed when the li st colored volunteer soldier safely arrived home -- - - A lilg Clianp' Itcinir Made. In a short while one will have noticed a great change on the property on South Vain street just below the steam laundry All of the houses formerly occupied by the colored people there have been Mr. Zeb Morris, aro purchased torn away by who some time the property. Later we will see at least out handsome residence on the properly. Improvements are being made on the buck part of the land also, and r. Morris has purchased some of the hoi low lroni Mr. Jno. A dine, pre paratory to puttingout buildings on it. Vrs. Parlier who owns the two horses just below Mr. Mrris' land intends tearing one ot her houses away and will probably build another in the place of the one farther down. When this work is all linishe'd one will hardly know the place along there and remember where colored people have for years resided. Encoiirnircs tlieni I5y I'rizca. Dr. D. 1). Johnson has a plan different from most of the peo ple for encouraging his children to bo studious iu their school work and one which has in his case proved of some benefit, so much so that he has increased the value of his prizes for the next year. To his four children in the graded school last year, he offered a five dollar gold piece to the one who made the highest average grade, to the next two and oue-half dollars and tho last one a fifty-cent Columbian piece. The first one was gained by Lee, the next by Frank, the next by Adele, and the last by Cary. Al ready he has put away oH to be given to his five children next year, the proportions being $20., 10., 5., $2.50, and the fifty-cent Columbian coin. The children have already been told what is in store for them next year. A Compliment to Our State. Speaking of summer resorts, The Washington Post says; "To one who has seen the mountain region of North Caro lina it seems incredible that so many thousands of people, in quest of pure air, magnificent scenery, and healthful surround ings, should annually flock to the Adirondacks of New York, and the White Mountains of Now Hampshire. These latter resorts Jo not compare in any respect with the North Carolina country. rlieir so-called mountains are dwarfed by those , of the Old North State, while, as for lakes, trout streams, hunting grounds, and landscapes at once gracious and majestic, there is no ap proach to a comparison." mm HoiiKht flic Kntire Stock. Messrs. Bell, Harris it Ce., Wednesday, the 12th, purchased the stock of furniture and coffins in the shop of Samuel Sloop, who died about a year ago, and who lived on North Main street. Besides an amount of furniture there were eighty-five coffins, al most all of them being made ol walnut and by his own hand. r.

We li ve in three worlds at once, or rather we exercise a threefold existence in one world. We have a physical being, an intellectual being and a moral being. Food, clothing, air, exercise, are necos sary to our physical being. The church, the Sunday school, the Bible contribute to our moral be ing. Our intellectual being is apt to be neglected. Tho mind, in or der to be vigorous and healthy, demand food and experience as well as does tho body. Concord ought to have $ gotxl public library. There is no one thing that can bo made to add so much to the morals aud intelli gence of a community as can good books. Every town should have a public library. It should be centrally located and be ac cessible every day and evening six days in the week. In this library should be found the best standard literature, books of reference, and the lead ing magazines But few people can afford to buy cyclopedias nor to subscribe for all the magazines, but in the public library everybody could have access to them and at very small expense to any one. In connection with this library should be a public reading room. Churches and schools are good. Lectures and newspapers are good. But you can go to the public library and get informa tion for yourself and thus be twice blessed. Tho man who starts a new factory in the city and thus furnishes employment to many hands and support to many families is a benefactor and is deserving of tho honor and respect of all. But wo can't afford to let our material inter ests outrun our literary and re ligious institutions. Intelligence is oi more importance man nne streets, tine buildings and elec - trie lights. Without intelligence factories cannot stand and churches have but little effect. A good public library, if prop erly managed, is of moro value to a city or community than an additional church or school. It can bo made to reach and to benefit all classes. Young peo ple are especially benefitted by it. They get new ideas, new life, new inspiration from the books they read. Benjamin Franklin, Andrew Carnegie and Chaunce-y M. De pew all got their early inspira tion and aspiration from a public library. Horace Mann did like wise, and ho afterwards said that if he was able he would sow libraries over the land as the tanner sows his wheat. It is about as much of a dis grace for a town to be without a library as to be without a school. What is it that gives visitors a good impression of a town V Clean streets, well painted houses and nicely kept lawns are all right and proper, but the thoughtful person looks for the public library, substantial school buildings, neat churches and a good town hall. The human mind is so con structed that it will think. You can't catch yourself for a moment not thinking. Tho library is de signed to give it something to think about. The shelves of the library furnish food for tho mind just as the shelves of tho pantry lurnish food tor tho body. The reading habit gives a greater amouut of pleasure at small expense than parties, din ners, receptions, theatres or any other like thing that has ever been devised. Good books elevate the mind, they create a contempt for gos sip, tnev iurnisn nign ideas oi life, they destroy prejudice, they inspire the young, they are a comfort to the old and a blessing to all. The public library is needed to supplement the work of schools, it is needed for those who can not attend schools, it is needed to give the mechanic opportuni ty to read what is doing in the world and what will benefit him; it is needed by the business men; it is needed by the pastors, the lawyers, the doctors and the teachers of the town; it is needed by the clubs and reading circles; it is needed by weary mother who wants to catch a glimpse of something that will take her away from herself and from the cares of the day; it is needed by tho young ladies of the city to nable them to kecm tho mind well cultivated so that they can be ihelriful to the churches and Sunday schools and to society at large; it is needed by the young men who are in college and re turn to spend the months of va- .,..4;.... f K ......

Public libraries, like public , ducing such a furor all over the streets, waterworks aud court j country by its many s'artling cures, houses, may bo built from funds It absolutely enrts Asthma, Bron raised by taxes if need be, but ' chltis, hoirseness and all affections every community has among its of the Throat, Chest and Langs. citizens those who are well able of themselves to build and equip public libraries. It is tho highest mark of the man, too, to do this while the ! giver is yet living. Andrew Carneffio. realizintr t-liiti fact, has given to the city of Pittsbur a,000,000in public libra ries, and still other millions lor libraries in other cities than his own. Baltimore would not be the city it is today if it had not been for Enoch Pratt, (Jeorge Peabody and Johns Hopkins. Enoch Pratt gave millions for founding public libraries in Baltimore and he took care to see that they were in good run ning order before his death. Tho city honored him and gen erations yet to be will rise up to call him blessed. C. S. Coi.kh. Still More Coiiverhions. Since copying an article from the Morning Star of Wilmington, as to the success attained by Rev. B.

Hon They Lead the Traveler to the Fensl of Which They Tnko, Full Share. Thoarnithologist finds in South America, Africa and Australia certain birds, though not identi cal or similar in habits and 110 more unselfish than man, they serve travelers wonderfully well. They are called honey birds. The explorer not acquainted with them observes their half frantic llutterings and chirpings, as thoy behave much like the mother partridge, while the in stinctive purposes are the very opposite. The mother partridge flits and 1 flutters before the intruder, as if tempting the hope of catching her, and thus lures man, dog or other creature she fears away from her young. When a good distance is made she takes wing for her brood again, that have crouched in grass or wliatever. She has accomplished her pur pose and gotten rid of her enemy. But not so with the honey bird. If the explorer will follow its leadings ho will find a colony of bees with a good quantity of choice wild honey. Tho bird watches the process and comes in for its well deserved part when the honey is laid bare. So persistent and fearless are they that the-y can almost be picked up while feasting on the finest. . m ( apt. Hill Receive s An Apiioiiilmeiil. On Monday, the loth, Capl.
