Yet. even in these counties there are many who do not know of their genesis or hqw they came to be counties. In the State at large there is little definite knowledge as to the changes which have been made from time to time in county lines and in county names, but there is now a splendid opportunity to put in permanent shape this informa tion, and to have it so clearly put, that in every school in the State it will be shown, and all North Carolinians will have historical information of great value concerning the State prepared for ready reference. Col. J. Bryan Grimes has offered a prize to the child under eighteen years of age in the public schools of the State who will make the clearest, simplest diagram, showing in chart form the for mation (with date) of the counties of the State; size of chart to be about 10x12 or 12x15 inches. The conditions of the contest will be prescribed by the Sup- : crintendent of Public Instruction, who will ijass upon the chart submitted and award the prize. The following has been compiled by ' Colonel Grimes for the making of this chart, which it is proposed to have published so that it will be available to all. Carolina had three divisions, Albe marle, Bath and Clarendon. Albemarle was divided into six pre cincts. Currituck, ' 1722; Pasquotank, 1722; Perquimans, 1722; Bertie, 1722; Chowan, 1722, and Tyrrell, 1729. Bath was divided into four precincts: Carteret, 1722; Beaufort, 1722 and 1741; Hyde, 1722; Craven, 1722. Clarendon became New Hanover in 1728. Tu 173 S an Act i/as passed decreeing | that the existing precincts thereafter j should be called counties, and these were j afterwards subdivided from time to time ! into the various counties of to State. | FORMATION OF THE COUNTIES.

Tryon was formed from Mecklenburg in 1768 and divided into Lincoln and Rutherford in 1779. To illustrate the kind of chart desired, we take a few counties as below and trace their “genealogy.” For instance, Scotland County was formed 1899 from Richmond, (1779), from Anson, (1749), from Bladen, (1734), from New Hanover, (1728), from Clarendon. Graham county was formed in 1871, from Cherokee; (1839), front Macon, (1828), front Haywood; (1808), from Bun combe, (1791), from Burke, (1777), from Rowan, (1758), from Anson, (1749), from Bladen. (1734). from New Hanover, (1728), from Clarendon. Catawba County 1842 from Lincoln. (1779), front Tryon, (1768), (abolished | 1779); from Mecklenburg, (1762), front j Anson, (1749), from Bladen, (1734). from I New Hanover, (1728), from Clarendon. Greene County, (1799), name changed ! from Glasgow, which was formed in 1791 from Dobbs (1758). (abolished 1791), from Johnston, (1746), from Craven, (1722). from Bath. Vance County, 1881, from Franklin, (1779), Warren (1779) and Granville (1746), Warren and Franklin (1779), from Bute 1764, from Granville (1746 and Northampton (1741), Granville (1746), from Edgecombe (1733), front Craven (1722), from Bath. Northampton (1741), from Bertie (1722), from Albemarle. It is hoped that this will stimulate the study of the history and geography of North Carolina in the schools of the State. TRINITY COLLEGE LIBRARY. The Growth of This Institution, Some of its Important Features-i (Special to News and Observer.) Trinity College, N. C., Nov. 22.—The following summary has been made of the growth of the Trinity College Library during the last six years. In 1899 it was decided to introduce modern meth ods in the management of the library. Accordingly, a card catalogue was made, the books then on hand were counted, accession books after the fashion of the American Library Association were se cured, and a better system of classifica tion was adopted. From that time to the present 6,430 bound volumes have been received. This includes only a small portion of the accessions which will be received from the recent large donations for the buying of books. Dur ing the past year, exclusive of these large donations, the receipts have been 11,074 bound volumes. Tho donations here referred to are SIO,OOO from Mr. J. B. Duke, of New York, and SI,OOO from Miss Annie Roney, of Durham. In the expenditure of these sums orders have been placed with the leading booksellers of New York. Lon don and Leipsig. Such large consign ments have been ordered from abroad that it has been necessary to authorize up in Durham the best possible library as importing agent. Mr. W. H. Adams, of New Yor«. formerly a Trinity student, has been appointed in this capacity. In ordering the above books long lists of wants were made out by the various professors, and from these the orders | were made up. From thesfc lists all i books of a merely popular nature were J rigidly excluded. The aim is to build up in Rurham the best possible library I for reference, so that students and scho j lars from any part of the country may j come to it freely for help in the prosecu- I tion of research. An important feature of the library is ! (he vault for the preservation of docu ments and very rare books. The col lege Historical Society has already col | lected some valuable papers of this class, and among the books formerly on hand I and those recently ordered are some i which are rarely met with in America. I Persons who ha’/e such papers are re- I quested to entrust them to the care of ! the Trinity Historical Society, which will I undertake to have them catalogued and • preserved for the privilege of using them I for historical purposes. The college has on hand a published j list of books recently ordered. This list j contains only such books as arc' publish ed in America and England: they do not contain the many books written in for eign languages. Any institution desir ing to secure copies of this list may do so by making application to the librarian. | This announcement is made because of i requests that have come to us for in ! formation in regard to the new books. The college books will be transferred ! to the new library building during the holidays. It has been found impractica ble to move while college work was in progress.

THE NEWS AND OBSERVES. SUNDAY MORNING, NOV. 23. 1902. Supreme Court Digest. (Reported by Jos. L. Seawel!.) KECK v. AM. TELEPHONE CO., ap pellant. From Guilford. New trial. Action for damages alleged to have been received by plaintiff while putting up telegraph poles. It appeared in evi dence that the work was being' done in the usual manner, that there was no lack of hands, that the appliances used were not inferior or unsound and that every thing was in proper condition and no mishap anticipated; Held to be an ac cident and that the defendant's motion to non-suit the plaintiff should have been granted. STATE v. ELLSWORTH and others, appellants. From Anson. Appeal dis missed- Defendants were convicted of break ing into a store house, etc., and were undergoing punishment in the State Prison. During the pendencyof their ap peal in the above matter, they were in dicted for larceny alleged to have been committed immediately after their felon ious breaking into said store house, and they set up former conviction in defense —declining to plead to the merits until this plea was passed upon; Held that the plea of former conviction or acquittal is an interlocutory plea, and no appeal lies. It is a collateral inquiry and turns upon the inspection of the town indict ments, and the judge may pass upon the plea and declare the legal effect of the record, or he may charge the jury that tho plea is or is not sustained by the evidence. STATE v. HINTON, appellant. From Wake. New trial. Defendant was not liable to road duty in a township where he had been only three weeks before he was summoned, and had gone there for a temporary pur pose with the interwtion of returning to his permanent home—as was shown in tthis case. The court says that “the law does not impose upon any one tho double burden of working roads in different townships at the same time, qnd, as de fendant had paid taxes for the working the streets in R. admittedly the place of his domicil, we do not think he could be required to work roads in any and ev«ry township where lie happened to be tem porarily employed.” McLEAN v. BULLARD, appellant. From Scotland. Error. In the progress of the trial of this case, a contention arose between the parties as to where was a line dividing the lands devised to the two brothers, devisees. It did not appear that there was any dispute about the boundaries nor any trouble in fixing the description to the land itself. The only question was. where was it situated with respect to the dividing line between the two brothers, as is mentioned in the will, and this matter is for the jury to determine: Held therefore that there was error in the judgment of non-suit. LAMB. appellant, v. ELIZABETH (TTY'. From Pasquotank. Error. Action for damages for land alleged to have been wrongfully appropriated b\ defendant in widening a street, and for that defendant in widening the street moved the buildings on plaintiff’s land in a negligent and careless manner “to plaintiff’s damage $300.“ It appeared from the evidence that the land had been legally condemned, damages assessed and tendered, and plaintiff thereupon amended his complaint by striking out the allegation of wrongful taking. It was also in evidence that defendant paid for moving the buildings and paid plain tiff rent for the time the buildings were occupied. The court instructed the jury to deduct from the damages demanded the value of special benefits to plaintiff's land ’by reason of the improvement to the property in widening the street; Held, error. After amendment of complaint, the action was solely for injury sustain ed by reason of negligence in moving the buildings, unless it had been affirmative ly shown that the benefit to plaintiff’s land, by reason of the improvement, had been considered in assessing the damages for taking the land. WILKES v. ALLEN et'al., appellant. From Mecklenburg. No error- The fact that a married woman is a registered free trader does not remove the disability of coverture so as to allow the statute of limitations to bar her right of action. It is presumed that section 1827 of The Code was passed for the l>enefit of mar ried women who wish to engage in busi ness, but that statute did not change their status nor remove the exemption which excludes them from the opera tion of the statute of limitations. SIIUTE et a!., appellants, v. HEATH et al. From Union. Action dismissed. Contracts in partial restraint of trade may be made and enforced of common right. Kramer v. Old. 119 N. C. 1. An indefinite restriction as to duration will not make such contracts void, but there must be a definite limitation as to space, and the reasonableness of such limitation will depend upon the uaturo of tie business and good w ill sold. It is required that the limitation as to space shall be so definitely set out in the contract that the bounds may be de termined by the same rules as apply to the description of real estate in deeds. Kramer's case, supra, distinguished. The defendants sold plaintiffs a Jract of land and ginning and saw-mill machin ery and agreed with plaintiffs that de fendants “would not erect, conduct or carry ori the business of ginning and hailing cotton,” etc., “in any territory now occupied by the defendants or from which they secure their patronage, so as to compete with defendants or injure their business, etc.” Held, void for indefinite ness as to ter ritory.
