That we assure them of our deepest sympathy, and earnest praj’- ers. Second. Realizing the vanity of human help and comfort in such afflictions, we commend them to “the God of all comfort,” who is too wise to err, and to good to be unkind:” praying that His Spirit, who is emphatically the Comforter of men, may furnish them grace pro portioned to their need, and sanctify to them this deep distress.

They opened the blind and raised the window which could only be raised about 1 1-2 inches. With a nail as a hook on a lath the robbers reached his pants on a chair inside and brought them to the win dow. They drew them through and took out the money and then folded them up and laid them in a good dry place ou the porch. It was cleverly done.

Aycock and the various State officials attend the exposition North Carolina week, but an entire regi ment of the State guard will accom pany his excellency. This has been definitely decided, though as yet Adj. Gen. Royster has not made pub lic the arrangements for the militia. The regiment that is to accompany the governor and State officers is to be a provisional one, composed of four companies from each regiment in the State guard. The adjutant general and his staff and the govern or’s personal and general staff will be in the party.—Kinston Free Press. At the meeting of the North Caro Una Association of Academies held at Raleigh last week. Gov. Aycock insisted that there was room and work for all classer» of earnest edu cational agencies and that there could be no real antagonism between public and private schools. State and denominational institutions,hi{;h or low, and called attention to the fact that the best academies Sourish side by side with the best pbblic gra ded schools. He made a distinction with a difference between “free” schools and “public” schools, justly observing that none of our schools are “free” because we “pay” for them, but they are ‘^public” beaause open to all. The Governor declared that it is the duty of every patriotic citizen to aid in creating such a strong sentiment in favor of edu cation for the masses that every child in the State would in conse quence be brought into the schools. He expressed himself as sanguine of early-And gratifying results to crown the efforts now being made through out the. State to wipe out ig^norance and illiteracy.

Xorth Carolina Kewsjutpera State Labor Commissioner Varner has completed an annual summary of North Corolina newspaper statis tics. He says there are eight morn ing dailies, with a total circulation of 25, 775; 22 evening dailies with a circulation of 22,735; 193 weeklies, circulation 53,601; 20 semi-weeklies, circulation 28,730; 51 monthlies, cir culation 76,844; 10 semi-monthlies, ciiculation 15,600; four quarterlies, circulation 300; total 315; total cir culation 605,985, including 5 alma nacs with 177,500 circulation. He says that while ten years ago the average circulation of weeklies was only 606 it is now 1, 365, and the im provement, mechanical and other wise, has kept pace with this in crease. As to politics there are 145 Demo cratic, 11 independent Democratic, 20 Republican, 2 Populist, 33 inde pendent papers. There are 13 Bap tist, 5 Methodist, 3 Christian, 3 Pro testant Episcopal, 5 Presbyterian, 14 edu:'Htional, 2 holiness, 4 medical, 3 agricultural, 3 textile, 6 news, 2 industrial. Only one paper charges no subscription. It is published at Winston. Appataehian J.’urk Southern members of Congress should be prompt and active in urg ing action on the President’s recom mendation for a great national park in the Appalachian range of moun tains, including Southwestern Vir ginia, North and South Carolina, and East Tennessee. These lands are cheap, and they include a long panorama of magni ficent scenery an 1 -natural curiosities which are now known but little out side their immediate neighborhoods, but not excelled anywhere in the world. They have hundreds of thousands of acres of forest which are of vast importance to the coun try below in regulating rainfall and natural water supply. They are Ihe natural home of game, which is dis appearing fast with indiscriminate hunting. If preserved they would swarm with pheasant, wild turkey, deer, trout, and other game, fish, bear and the smaller animals. The establishment !of a, vast park in this country would mean the dis tribution of millions of dollars am ong holders of land now. absolutely useless and unprofitable, and the. employment of many men as war dens. Better than all, it would mean the building of fine govern ment roads through the mountains— a vabt benefit to all who live near them.—Richmond News.
