Craven) According to the school census, taken August 1912, the white children of school age 6 to 21 within the. city limits of New Bern, number 1020. Deducting the number of pupil's known to be at work, in school elsewhere or graduates of the High School, there are left only about 750 pupils, according to the census, who could attend school. This number, 750, is about the average daily attendance for the past week, while the enrollment is something over 800. A new organization will be effected among the girls of th High School as soon as possible. It is to be called 'Gilrs' Camp Fire of America". This organization will be divided into five camps led by the following: Miss Summerell, Miss Mabef Chadwick, Miss Bettie Windley, Miss Appie Caho and Miss Mary Hendren. This work will take the place of the literary society. Many papers and magazines have had interesting articles setting forth the object of the organization, but from time' to time as we become better ac quainted ourselves with this work, we hope to publish information regarding it. Its object, as stated in the manual, is. "To add the power of oreanization and charm of romance to work, health and play" a great big work and some thing needed among our girls.

W. Meredithe, 14 King street. has in his posession a number of relics of by gone days, which by reason of their great age and interesting asso ciations are of unusual value to those who delight to revel in the alluring mists of antiquity. Among the relics are a bowl and fruit stand, made of china, which were brough from Wales about two hundred years ago by three Meredith brothers, who emigrated from the Old County to Virginia during the last quarter of the seventeenth century. ' Winiam Mere dith, of King and Queen county, was christened from the bowl in 1777. The bowl has been accidently broken 'and artistically mended with silver -plates, one of which bears the inscription. "William Mredith, 1717." The fruit stand, also of china, is twenty-two inches high and made in mitation of shells, symmetrically ar ranged in a form not unlike Chinese pagoda in miniature. When dressed with fruits and ribbons, it makes a beautiful table ornament and was great ly in demand in the olden times by the people all over the section in which the Merediths lived. Another interesting and venerable relic is an old memorandum book, with Russia leather covers, which be longed to Stephen Bingham, great grand-father of Mr. Meredith. The book is inscribed in gilt letter with thp owner's name. But, by far the most interesting relic in the collection is a copy of te first edition of the "Maryland Journal", a weekly paper, the publication of which was begun in Baltimore, on Friday, August 20, 1773, by William Goddard, Esq., and has continued its career though under many differrent names, and is now known as the Baltimore American and Commercial Advertiser. There are also a, number of other old periodicals that appeal to all connois seurs of relics and curios. Mr. Mere dith values his collection very highly and has a number of times refused flattering offers from persons who Wan ed to purchase. However, he will allow many of the articles to be placed on exhibit at the Eastern Carolina Fair. FfiAflKD WINSTON WILL OPEN FAIR Former Lieutenant Governor Con' sents To Make Opening Address AND IT WILL BE GOOD ONE Secretary Williams Adds Another To The Growing List of Free Attractions Former Lieut. Governor Francis D. Winston will open the Eastern Carolina Fair immediately on the arrival of the parade Tuesday, Oct. 29.
