' . : The first volume of the series of Dup lications dtthe North Carolina His torical Commission designated as lit erary and historical activities ' In North Carolina 1900-1905, - Is ' just from the' presses of the State printers and. is a most .creditable publication edited by W. P. Peele, chairman of the Commission. ' It is a volume, of 624 pages. In a terse introduction for the volume Mr. Peele declares that an evidence of the -increased literary life In the State Is shown particularly and most favorably In the organized actl vitiea of clubs and associations found ed for the study and preservation of State history. The State he says, is the foster-mother of these enterprises In' providing for publication' of colo nial and State records, regimental his tories, and now through, the'. State Historical Commission, to gather and preserve in N permanent . form, frag ments that are either not before pub lished or else not In available form. This volume is the first move in this direction, the idea being to issue a volume everyy five yeara and ultimate ly every year, most probably. Among those whose literary produuctlons find place In thla volume 'are Judge Walter Clark, Joseph P. Caldwell, J. E. Carr, Judge W. A. Montgomery, E. J.- Hale, H. A'. London, A. C. Avery, E. A.

Flood conditions in this section are much more hopeful, with a big falling off In rain fall, and rapid receding of watera from .over flowed low lands Railroad bridges .are found to be in much better condition than railroad men dared hope they would be while the raging floods were surging around and over them.

The Atlantic Coast Line has annulled all trains tor the time on account of the flood In Neuse river, and has sent bulletins to its stations north of city telling its agents not o accept passenger traffic for points beyond! the river. While the bridge has" not gone down' and does not yet seem In imminent dan ger of so doing, the water from the river is funning around the abute menta at this end and one side of tbe track for a half mile on thla side of the river Is submerged.- The track tilts for some distance one aid bejnj lower than the other. The rails on one side are submerged, on the other they are Just appearing. This was the report of one of the bridge watchmen at 112 o'clock, who had walked across the bridge. He reports the bridge as intact and the river a foot and a halt below the bottom of the bridge. The action of the water running be tween the crossties, it is feared, has loosened them and the road, therefore, feara to send Its trains over the tracks at this, point. . .' C: ' ' I ,;,;.v ,;. .

The bridge Is not expected to. go, unless the county wooden bridge should break away and be Washed against it A large force of bands are working to save this bridge and the prospects are it will remain where It Is. Part of the South em's tracks are under water at Little river. - : ' This action of the road practically cut of all communication with the south, north of Goldsboro, since the Coast Line has not been able to send any trains serosa Its bridge at Fay otteville for the paat two days, deliver ing them via Wilmingtonand across the Cape Fear river., v , Bradstreet's Trade Report Special Correspondence.
