.Mrs. Carrie Nation, the leader
of the Hat diet Brigade in Topeka,
Kansas, will sue the city for the
recovery of thehatchetscaptuiod
by the enemy in the reeen t charges
on the saloons. Old lady Nation
has gained encugh notoriety for
one woman and the sensible thing
for her to do is to return home
and look after her domestic
duties.
For some time a movement ha*
on foot to build a buy
hotel here. We hope the promo
ters of this much needed enter
prise will succeed in this under
taking. Smithfield is greatly in
need of such a hotel and the busi
ness men of this place would do
well to lend their aid. Weunder
stand that almost enough has
been subscribed to insure its suc
cess. All together business men, '
and let's build a hotel the town
will be proud of.
The North Carolina Society of
the Daughters of the Revolution
will begin the publication of the
"North Carolina booklet" at
Raleigh, May 10th. It is to lieu
monthly publication devoted to i
great events in the history of the
?Md North State. The price will
be one dollar per year. Among
theearly articles will be"Yirginia- ,
Dare," by Maj. Graham Daves, i
"Colonial New Hern," by Sarah 1
Reaumont Kennedy, and others '
of equal interest to all lovers of
our State. Those who are inter
ested in North Carolina history <
should subscribe and help the ]
worthy enterprise.
The State Literary and Histori
cal Society, which was organized
last October, has secured one
piece of legislation that will do
much for the cause of education c
ki North Carolina. Itwasthrough 1
the Society's influence that the 1
Rural Library bill became a law.
The interest manifested through- f
out the State in the subject of I
public school libraries is highly t
gratifying to the Society. When ?
a people begins to read good
literature that jieople will l>e- r
eome educated, and its influence
will be one of power for upbuild
ing anil elevating the social,
moral and religious society of the
oommunit y. Success to the State
Literary and Historical Society
and its noble work.
General Julian K. Garr, of Dur
ham, who has long been one of
the leading spirits in the develop
ment of the State along educa
tional lines, has again shown his
great enterest in thecauseof edu
cation. The Itural Library law j
provides for only six libraries in i
a county. In Durham county '
six districts have already taken
advantage of the law. Many
other districts in that county are
anxious for libraries. TheCounty
Board of Education have decided
to give $10 toevery district that
will raise #10. Gen. t'arr lias
now come to the rescue of the
schools in his county and offers
to give $10 to every district
that will raise $10 for a libra
ry, thus taking the place of the
tit ate iu the establishment of
libraries in country schools.
Mist* Sallie W. Stock a rd. who
last year published a history of
Alamance county, has just laid
published a Is-uutiful little vol
ume entitled "The Lily of the
Valley," It is an interpretation
of the Soups of Solomon and
those who have examined the
work say it is well done. The
book is dedicated to "Major
Charles ManlyStedtnan, Lawyer,
Statesman, Gentleman, Soldier,
Scholar of the Confederacy, Type
of Southern Manhood."
We would remind the people of
this county that only six school
districts can get a library under
the Rural Library act. The first
to apply for the library will be
the successful ones. I*'t the peo
ple who are interested in educa
tion bestir themselves and secure
these libraries which will do so
much gooil for the community
that secures them. Schools in
incorporated towns cannot get a
library under the provisions of
this act.
A prominent man ot the State
says that tin* next Legislature
will establish u reformatory for
.youthful criminals and also take
u long step towards compulsory
education. These an- both live
question^. The reformatory ques
tion has already been discussed
a good deal. The c mpulsorv
educational question is a big one
and sentiment in that direction
is growing. The recent legisla
ture passed an act giving the
people of Mitchell the privilege to
vote ou this question this sum
mer. If a majority of the voters
of that county want compulsory
education they will have it. When 1
the people of North Carolina be- j
came thoroughly aroused to the .
great need of education the State
will move forward as never before.
