There are giants in these days
and North Carolina helps to rear
them, according. to the following
from a Durham newsman:
"Mr. Edger K bmoot, a son oi
secured a five million dollar gov
ernment contract in Mexico. It
is for the construction of harbor
works at Manzanillo, on the Pa
cific coast, and consists, of a
breakwater to shelter the port
from the west, the direction from
which rolls in the whole sweep
of the Pacific ocean; a wall or
dike parallel to the seashore;
the deepening of the harbor to
eight and a half meters by
dredges; a canal to introduce and
circulate fresh sea wrater in the
northern part of the Cuyutlan
lagoon, and a dike to separate
this part from the salt deposit in
the southern part of the lagoon;
the drainage of the San Pedrito
lagoon by a canal; wharves at
such points as the goverment
may designate; and such addi
tional minor works as may be
agreed upon or found to be nec
essary hereafter. The whole
work is to be completed wTithin
four years from the time the con
tract is, started upon. The exact
amount of Mr. Smoot's contract
is $5, 732, 750."
- It is said that Mr. ' Smoot has
had much experience in harbor
works,'- his last contract having
been at Galveston, Texas. He is
a member of the American So
ciety of Civil Engineers, and
possesses the fullest confidence
of the M exican government.

There is something most
wTorthy of notice as to the graded
school building this year, for
which the small boy deserves
much praise. r It can only be ex
plained when we opine that the
love of the boy Jfor his school
building has become greater and
his unruly' and wreckless ways
are laid aside for something
more profitable to him and less
expensive to the graded school
board. It is the breaking of
window glasses to which we
allude. Almost every year there
are about seventy-five or eighty
window glasses to put in before
the school opens. Last year
there were 126 new ones put in
just before school opened. Mr.
Coltrane has visited the building
expecting to count the full num
ber and found not one. It is well
if our boys continue in their
good ways thus.

night Mag Plunkett was sent to
