The annual meeting of theStute Literary and Historical Associa tion was held in the well arranged hall of the beautiful Olivia Kaney Library building in Italeigh Tues day night. M any of the State's most promi nent men were present and the: meeting was full of enthusiasm | for the objects which called the association into existence. Justice Walter Clark, of the Supreme Court, presided, and seated on the stage were Governor Aycock, Senator Simmons, (Jen. | Carr, ex-Judge Robert W. Win ston, Maj. Graham Daves, Gen. I Toon, l'rof. Grimsley, Henry Jerome Stockard and other dis tinguished men. President Clark read his ad dress showing the work of the association. l'rof. Grimsley, Superintendent of the Greensboro schools, report-1 ed the progress of the Associa tion along the line of library work, showing that the rural library act was the result of the Association's work. Ex-Judge Robert W. Winston, of Durham, madeoneof the finest idresses of the evening, on the public educational question of Durham county and the import ance of arousing a deeper and more widespread interest in things educational. Maj. Graham Daves, of New Bern, made a short address of I the "Proposition to Celebrate on Roanoke Island the Landing j of Raleigh's Colony." He moved that a committee be appointed to < arrange for this celebration. He i was ably seconded in this move- I ment by our eloquent Governor i Aycock. The proposition was < unanimously adopted and Maj. 1 Daves appointed chairman of the < committee. ! i Gen. Julian S. Carr made a, very able address on the life of j1 Mir Walter Raleigh, after whom i our capital city was named, and proposed the erection of a statue j i to his memory at Raleigh. The | proposition met a hearty re sponse from those present and a resolution appointing a commit-j tee of twenty-five, with Gen. Carr v 7 as Chairman, was unanimously adopted. This committee is to , carry iuto operation the plans ] suggested and raise penny col lections for the erection of the monument to the illustrious Sir [ ] Walter Raleigh for his great , work in trying to found an En glish settlement on Carolina soil. 1 Judge Robert Winston set the 1 ball a-rollmg by contributing a penny for every white child of j, school age in the city of Durham, i Many other similiar pledges were 1 made and the monument will be 1 built in the near future. , Mr. Henry Jerome Stockard, ?, read a poein which he wrote for i the occasion, entitled Sir Walter 1 Raleigh. (We hope to publish this poem next week). His poem ( was a beautiful one in thought i and diction and was well received, i a rising vote of appreciation be ing tendered him by the audi- . ence. " e The meet ing of the association ) was an interesting one in every particular unil to say that the work of the evening; will be far reuching in its results will be to state it mildly. The association though young; in years is being felt throughout the Stute and with the best bruin and talent in North Carolina working to gether for the purpose for which , it exists, the day is not far dis tant when it will be regarded one of the biggest things in the! State. ? RURAL SCHOOL LIBRARIES. The report of l'rof. George A. | Grimsley before the State Litem- j ry and Historical Association at its unnual meeting in Raleigh Tuesday night showed that the State had .made appropriations for 107 rural libraries in accord ance with the Rural School Libra ry law passed by the last Legis lature. Forty-seven others have made application. Only six libraries are allowed a county and the following have already received this numl?er: Alamance, Anson, Reaufort, Chatham, Craven, Durham, Greene, Iredell, Madison, Nash, Orange, Pasquotank, Rocking ham, Rutherford and Wayne. Of the other counties that have made application, some have fl ve and some only one. And Johnston county. What of her? Not mentioned in that report! We were greatly dis appointed that Johnston county should be a laggard in this great work of establishing libraries in the country public schools. Sou.e districts have raised thesufficient amount of ten dollars to secure State and county aid. Why don't they report to the County Superintendent of Schools and let him report to Gen. Toon, State Superintendent, so that when another State report is handed to the public our beloved county of Johnston will be in the list. Are not the people of Johnston sufficiently interested in public education (tor a public school library is one great step in that direction) to bestir themselves? There is not a district in the county that could not easily raise the f 10. Why not do it, and do it at once? Shall we re main laggards in this great edu cational procession? The greatest Fair in the State's history is what many prominent men who have attended all the Raleigh Fairs for many years say of the State Fair this week. The exhibits are splendid, the races 8ne, and the Midway attractions more numerous and varied than ever before. And the fakirs are there, too, telling you of how yam can make money by trying their games. Many visitors have re turned from the Fair with long faces just because they were too easily tempted by the fakir's bait. A stroll along the Midway wdl convince any one that Americans like to be humbugged. Rear Admiral Bunce Dies. Hear Admiral Francis M. Bunce, U. S. N., (retired) died at bis home in Hartford, Conn., Sat day. His death was not unex pected, as his family had been warned to expect the worst.
