Big hearted men and women Tied with each other in aooepting op. portunlties to adminiater to thost found to be unable to help themselves and not a family in all of Raleigh or Wake county, so far as known, was overlooked on "the day before Christ, bias." A number of State officials and many "under secretaries" aban doned their onerous duties and are spending the holidays at "the oil home." Only the automobile bureau ?if iiie twipaiiiiieBt-iif-itgTnnne mutter ued operations on a full time basis, the sale of new license plates making this necessary. Special programs were put on at the churches and in every service the Babe of Bethlehem was magnified in story and in song. The syndicate, headed by the First National Bank of New York, haa ex ercised Its option on |3,500,000 of the 110,000,000 Involved t? IU agreement with the SUte last spring and is al lowed until March Slst on the remain ing $6,500,000. Delay of the engraves* to deliver the bonds taken np by the syndicate necessitated a trip to New York by Treasurer Lacy to make tern, porary arrangements for the State's protection until the bonds are deliv ered and signed by Governor McLean and Vr, Lacy, wh.o will a little later journey to the Metropolis for that purpose. All the bonds were sold on a 4 per cent basis. " Governor McLean and Che other members of the State Printing Com. mission are still wrestling with pro posals lor the execution of the public printing, the solution of which seems no nearer than on the day last sum, mer when the second batch of bils was rejected. Since that time a spec ialist from Washington, D. C., It ? said, has been working on?and final ly completed?a set of elaborate spe cifications, on which twenty-four bids were opened Is the Governor's office last Tuesday. These proposals came from every part of the State, but tt so happened that only the recent con tractors presented bids on the items of machine and monotype composition which furnished the excuse for rejec tion at the Jnne meeting on account of an increase from 80 to SIT cents per thousand ems. Furthermore, the Rsl. elgh printers and the Observer Print. Ing House, Charlotte, decline even to handle these controverted items un less they art given a percentage of all tTaSOes oT work conreinpTateff ln thfi . biennial contract. In other words, they ask for part of the "fat" to go ikrag with the "lean" and so advised the Commission In explanatory let. ters accompanying their bids. Mean while, the specialists are still tabula Ling. N Chief Justice W. P. Stacy, of the Korth Carolina Supreme Court, is to spend the Interim between this time and the opening of the spring term in an effort to assisting In the settlement oi a wage dispute, having Been nam. ed as a member of the board of arbl. tration which will try to bring the railroads and their employees togeth ei on the question of compensation. Serving with Judge Stacy will be Les. lie M. Shaw, former Governor of Iowa and Secretary of the Interior under President Roosevelt, as neu tral representatives, and two men named by the railroads and a like number by the Brotherhood of Loco motive .Engineers.

Expenses of the Board for the year is around $5,000, it Is said, and worth every dollar, for prop erty .values have been brought nearer a uniform basis and longer terms for rnipl schools in a nnmber of coun ties through State cooperation. | The State Board of Education re ports a reduction of from one to sev en cents in the new text book con. tracts which is a saving of $57,400 on the whole. A new series of books on health, language and grammar for use In the elementary schools were adop ted for the five-year period, a reduc tion being secured on each over pricea jfalfi for the old ones covering these subjects. The. total saving Is based on 160,000 .children in the fourth and fifth grades, lOO.OOd in the sixth and seventh grades computing the rednc. tlons on all the new books that wars substituted for the old ones. Besides this saving the new books are consid ered superior to the old ones In many particulars. 1 North Carolina's capital city has been host to fifty-five conventions of one kind and another daring the year, tba larger number being held In the rammer. The large number sets a new recorck for Raleigh In this res ^Ths action\>f the Supreme Court In declining to pass upon the question of the validity (St the $75,000 worth of bonds issued by the city of Raleigh to aid in the establishment of a bigger and better SUte fralr has thrown a monkey wrench Into tba machinery or the city of Raleigh to order a new registration tor the ipeclal election In which the proposal to issue bonds was roted upon and whether the bond tksue for the purpose could be con. ? atdered a municipal need coutemplu-1 ted in objects sought through special' proceedings of this character and Im port.
