A reflection on Jesus as both judge and savior, noting that His truth can be terrible and soothing. Henry Meillvill suggests faith holds both mercy and judgment, shaping belief with dual aspects of salvation and accountability.
The United States lacks a significant radical party and the two major parties will nominate a president this month. Either Republican or Democratic candidates will win, and big business remains unfazed. The piece argues both parties are conservative with minor differences in liberalism and that reformist agitation has little actual power in governance.
The UNC commencement relied on substitutes for speakers after multiple deaths and illnesses. Wake Forest and UNC presidents delivered addresses urging open inquiry and avoidance of prejudice amid a broader view of modernizing standards, global standardization, and evolving nautical language debates.
Despite a Hull majority expected in the Raleigh Democratic convention, many Hull delegates are seen as fair to opposition and likely to oppose Simmons proposed gag on the minority. The vote on the unit rule is not a sole strength test and fair delegates may support uninstructed or proportionally instructed rows to Houston based on preferences.
A London survey asks centenarians if two more score years would improve life. Most decline, preferring to die naturally. The piece argues wisdom comes with age, stressing better life handling rather than added years, and notes Native American views on testing a person’s mettle. It ends with social commentary on Harpers Bazaar etiquette and the exhausted debutante.
A Spain dictator shows caution in personal life by declining a potential marriage. The decision signals a focus on maintaining control rather than expanding influence through a union. No formal alliance or pledge accompanies the move.
The engagement to General Primo de Rivera collapsed after his fiancee boasted of becoming the first lady of the land and potential ruler. A dispute over a proposed photograph and her conduct at the Spanish stock exchange reportedly led the general to order her to leave Spain, with concerns he could not marry into such strong qualifiers without risking his hold on the realm.
The piece lauds the two volume work North Carolina in the War Between the States by Dr. D H Hill. It notes Robert H. Ricks of Rocky Mount funded the project, Hill resigned his college post to lead it, and Hill died before completion. The review by Capt. Samuel A. Ashe laments not finishing with Dr J DeRoulhac Hamilton aiding, and calls for a possible third volume.
Wilbur Glenn Voliva remains controversial as vacation season prompts debate over the shape of the earth. The world’s roundness is questioned by some, but prevailing science asserts a curved horizon and global geometry during travel and sightseeing.

Contested credentials and minority representation fuel a hard fought, party division ahead of the convention. Also notes air rescue missions and Umberto Nobile's group moving toward land after being stranded.
The Italia airship crew of eighteen, split into two groups, remains stranded on drifting ice floes in the polar sea. They relay urgent calls for a speedy rescue while ships such as the Malagin and Braganza stand by. Aboard the Hobby ship two Norwegian flyers plan to help but lack food and space to aid all.
The list recalls key moments from 1496 to 1912 including Columbus's return to Spain, introduction of domestic animals to America, the 1776 Congress move to draft independence, the 1876 Hayes Wheeler ticket, and Cuban insurgents firing on marines at Guantanamo.
