Raleigh, Nov. 22.-The State Nation
al Guard Board of officers met at Golds
boro today and went to Morehead City
to inspect the site offered there for the
permanent encampment grounds and
then, goes to Wrights ville to make a
similar inspection of the land there of
fered. -Among the members of the
Board are Generals Armfield, Robert
son and Macon and Cols. Ludlow, Graig
Bragaw and others. The. work will be
finished this week. Adjutant General
Robertson says the bid of Asheville
came in too late and will not be con
sidered on this account - '.-.
The State Historical Commission has
begun the work of copying; the ' letter
books of the Governors. The oldest
letter books is private property, being
that of Governor Pollock, from 1708 to
1726. Part of this has been copied and
printed, but only "a. very small part.
The writing is very quaint indeed, and
( Very hard to discipher. Owing to the
, whether Kilgo was 'actuated by malice
'y printing pamphlets containing his
peechj in which Gattis was criticised.
Jattis therefore loses his suit . and
hereforeone of he most interesting
asea pn record in North Carolina ends.

One daughter will remain here, as the

Lewis, of the State Board of Health,
and a son, who is a cadet at the A.& M.
College,
The walls of the burned building at
Roman Catholic Orphanage here are
falling.' Father Price, who has charge
of the orphanage is making a study of
plans for a new building, and he is very
much pleased with the design of the
old State school for the white blind
here, when it was two storjes high. It
is nrobable that a structure ; of that
kind, in the form of an E will replace
the burned one, being only two stories
in height while the one destroyed was
four stories. -' J.
Governor Glenn today sent for Supt
James McKee of Central Hospital for
insane here and talked with him about
the new building for women which is In
course of construction there. ; The Gov
ernor directed Dr. McKee to .push the
work on this new wing with all possi
ble dispatch and informed him that he
desired it completed at the very earliest
moment possible. ' Governor told him
when the work was done he would look
after furnishing of the building. Gov
emor remarked to your correspondent
that the construction of th'o buildirg
would greatly relieve the present eor.-
jection. He then went on to speak
about the insane, announced that to
morrow he would make public an ad
dress to the people of the SU te on this
By State Board Internal Improvements. - Re-
. ' port Will Bo Made to Governor.
Raleigh, Nov. 25. -The State Board
of Internal Improvements has inspected
the hospital for the insane at Morgan
ton and Goldsboro and will devote much
of December and January and perhaps
part of February' to visiting other in
stitutions, aided by the State, there
being in ail about 15 of these. The ' re
port will not be made to the governor
by the two members of 'the board who
inspect until all the work Is completed.
The Governor has full power to adopt
all such recommendations as are made
by the board, as under (he new law he
has authority to do what ill recommends
It is under this law "that the governor
has power to order the." completion and
equipment for the new tjuilding for the
insane at Raleigh.- The interests of
the State in this direction are in the
keeping of the board and the governor
has full power to protect the State's
interest, The board is . going to make
a very thorough inspection of all in
stitutions, in a systematic way, " and
can do so in the freest manner, having
no connection with any . o these. It
has no hostility, of course,,' to any in
stitution; J The stement is made that
there are; about, 8,000 : insane in the
State, and the making of provisions for
these is one of the gravest questions.
The governor today gave to the press a
letter to the people ' of - the State in
which he goes fully into this very im
portant matter.

Shaw and Herrick vs. Washington.
Secretary Shaw - recently said our
governmer.t must be one by party or
mob. George Washington declared re
peatedly l that party : fealty was She
gravest danger that threatened the
perpetuity of the American Republic.
The elections in ' several States on
November 7 last seem to indicate that
tne American V people are : growing
rapidly to uphold the Washington doc
trine rather than the more narrow
Shaw declaration. .; : Mr. ' Samuel;E.
Moffet, writing on' "The Recovery" of
Free" Government" in ColKer's for
November 25, says: . ' ,
Never in American history have local
'off-year elections produced such heart
tearehingtt among politicians and given
sue1, promise of far-reaching results as
in 1905. The meaning of the returns
as mournfully recognized by Governor
Herrick, of Ohio, who said:
"The greatest danger now confront
ing the American people . is the readi
ntss, in response to some sudden -whim
or pretext, to desert party principles
and follow some individual who claims,
some time with sincerity,, often witu.
hypocrisy, to represent a cause that is
higher than party fealty.' ?'
The elections of 1905 did indeed mark
the almost total disappearance of the
Great American Superstition the de
lusion that party organizations were
inspired by "party principles," and
hence had a rightful claim on the al
legiance of citizens I who believed in
those principles. It was this supersti
tion that lay at the veryr base, of the
power of the bosses. ': It "was easy for
a boss to secure control of the nomi
nating machinery of a party but that
control would have been of no use to
him without some means of inducing
honest citizens to vote his ticket after
he got it nominated. 4 'Those nwans
wero f urhtshed by the Great Supersti
tion. ". v
