GATHERING MATERIAL FOR HIS LAST MESSAGE Wilmington to Hive Another Daily Paper, It Will be Inde pendent In Politics. They do do be A'chawln' Terbacker In Union BAPTIST CONVENTION AT ELIZABETH CITY - Governor Ay cock is gathering the material for his last message to the General Assembly of North Carolina, and will soon begin the work of writing that important state paper. It will probably be the best that has been presented to our law-makers in many years. " The Governor says that h* will therein recommend the creation of • new office, that of State historian, who shall collect historical matter anywhere in the Sate aad install it here, look over, prepare and pub lish material bearing on State his tory to be found in various depart ments here, and also to rearrange all original records so they will be in permanent form and easy of access. Continuing His Excellency said thst the present year has been the l>eet, altogether, in the history of the State. As to the enlargement of the capitol building he said: 1 will transmit to the Legislature the report of the committee on that mstter, but will not recommend any alterations or additions to the present building. I am opposed to changing the capitol in this way. We can srect additional buildings on property the State owns. We must let the capitol stand as it is." It is getting to be a very serious matter in some States for respect able men to connect themselves with State or municipal bar-rooms, otherwise yclept dispensaries. The Georgia Grand Lodge of Masons has decided that no man can be s dispensary commissioner or a dis penser and remain a Mason in good standing. » * * Ihe Charlotte Chronicle is again promoting the scheme to sstablish a reformatory for young criminsls. If any skeptical person doubts the wisdom of this proposition he has only to pass by the polics station in Raleigh while some of them are being thrashed by their parents by order of Mayor Powell. The crying need of s reforme tory will be most aptly brought to his attention by the leather-lunged yongstsrs below. ♦ e * Roosevelt hat promised to ap point the only living grandson ol Stonewall Jackson (Stonewall Jack eon Christian) to the military acad emy at Wesi Point. At the same time the Piesident promised to appoint Harry Stillwell Edwards •on of the postmaster at Macon, to the academy at West Point. It appears that to have still soother daily neJßaper, although there are already three in thi>t city —two morning and one afternoon dailies. The Wilmington Messenger, alluding to the fact, says that Mr. John ft: Gore, oas of the p incipal parties concerned, states that the company has placed orders for a new p:ese anda Mer g-en thaler typesetting machine. The time for the appearance of the first issue of the newspaper cannot be accurately stated by the manage - A sure sign of approaching revolt and serious trouble ic your system is nervousness, sleeplessness, or stomach upsets.

But the fact remains that there is certainly not enough room for four dally newspapers in Wilmington, and somebody is going to lose money or get out of the business. • * • If the statement, mads by a Mr. R. A Morrow and pnntsd in the Monroe (Union couaty) Journal, is correct,they do be a-chawing terbac ker real peart in Union —mors than SIOO,OOO worth of ths weed an nually in that one county alone. Mr. Morrow is a merchant and says that his firm slone sells S6O - worth, or six car loads— and ths Morrow store claims to sell 'about one half of the total amount sold in Union county. The statement sppears to the Evening limes almost incredible when it is recalled that ths total population of the county, accord ing to the last census, numbered only *7,156 people, abeut ij.ooo of whom are males (of all ages). Less than 4.000 polls are gives in the census, and there were 4.04' white males and 1,509 negro men over 1 1 years of age.
