THE CORRESPONDENTS
j The following bits of verse have
appeared from time to in ''Rhymed
Reviews of the Poik County News,"
a feature conducted by the Rev. Ira
C. Swanroan, of Columbus, Polk Co.,
N. C,
Do correspondents sometimes think
Their items just a waste of ink?
And do they wonder oft at night
If people rsad the things they write?
"Who cares if Jeremiah Brown
Is visiting his son in town?
Qi if his wife, {with daughter's
aid
Improvements round the house has
made?)
Who care if missionary bands
Have met to study foreign lands,
Or if the crops that fill the fields
Show signs of making bumper
yields."
1 0 rural writer, ? man or maid,
! Of thoughts like this be not afraid ;
Though from our lips scant praise ifl
heard,
We do devour your every word.
Cease not to do for us each week
This Christian duty, so to speak:
Thought small our thanks, know just
the same
i We readers ri3e to blesB your name.
The Pea Ridge scribe, on the jog
again,
Told us about the "federal men:"
Raiding the boys in the hollows and
hills,
Pojring out "licker" and cutting up
stills.
Uncle Sam's raiders, men of renown,
Why not try raiding some day IN
TOWN?*
"Lay off" of these birds on the low
er perch,
And tackle the "leaders" (?) high up
in the Church.
*(Any town).
When correspondents drop from sight
They give their friends an awful
fright:
We wonder if they've gone, or what;
Perhaps they're sick, (as like as not)
Or maybe "mad"? No! No! Not that;
But anyway, Where are you "at?"
Perhaps right now we ought to beg
The County Agent's pardon,
For supplementing his remarks
About the winter garden.
But spinach, kale and turnip tops
Are very beneficial;
We state this most emphatically,
In manner quite judicial.
For long experience proves the truth
Of all of our assertions,
Ar.d to "Winter Green" idea
We hope we've made conversions.
MAY PROVE
Gatlinburg, Temi. ? Scientists ox- \
pect to find probably 75 species of j
mammals in the venerable Greftt
Smoky mountains, which they say
were lofty peaks many years before
nature had a spasm and produced the
gaunt Rockies.
E. V. Komerek, mammalogiat for
the Chicago Academy of Science, is
making a survey of the mountains
which, despite their age, are not so
well known as aome of their younger
brethren. Already he has sent back
to Chicago 700 specimens of mam
mals, for a total of 1.200 including I
reptiles and amphibians.
Amor.g amphibians he found are
salamanders.
Komerek said he had found forms
common to Canada on peaks of the
Smokies. He said these mountain?
might- be the "American Noah's ark,"
tho birthplace of many Am?ric*n
mammals. Ke found a rockvole-H*
high sounding name for a mouse
about 3,500 feet in the Smokies and
said the little animal next is found in
northern New York and not again un
til in Labrador. He said the rockvoie
confirms hia belief that many tmimals
took refuge in the Smokies during
the glacier period and started north
again when the glaciers retreated.
The northern forms, he said, are
found only above 3,000 feet and ex
plained there are three faunal zones
in the mountains ? the northern above
3,000 feet; the eastern, between 2,000
and 3,000, and the southern, below
2.000.
The smokies, where the government
has formed a national park, are
gentle mountains as a rule but in
sections they rise to peaks of dazzling
heights. They v/eve comparatively un
known for a time because outsiders
had no easy means of entering them.
Highways, however, have been built
now ard they have been opened to
tourists. There still are sections, how
ever, that have not been bothered by
the improvements of man.

Robbinaville, N. C.
"They do me wrong who s&jr I como

When once X knock and fail to fifcd
you in
For every day I stand out aide your
door;
And bid you wake and rise to light
and win.
"Wail not for precious chances pass

Wail not for golden ages on the wane
Each night I burn the records of the
day
At sunrise every soul is born again.
"Laugh like a boy at splendors that
have sped
To vanished joys be blind, deaf and
dumb
My judgments seal the dead past with
its dead;
But never bind a moment yet to corns.
"Those deep in mire wring not your
hands and weep;
I lend my arm to all who say I can;
No shamefaced outcast ever sank so
deep
But yet might rise and be again a
man.
"Dost thou behold thy lost youth all
aghast?
Dost reel from righteous retribous
blow
Then turn from blotted archives of
the past
And find the futures pages white as
snow.

Art thou a sinner? Sins may be for

HOLIDAYS UNKNOWN TO i
STATE 50 YEARS AGO :
Raleigh.? Legal holidays, wheft al! !
the banks usually close and school !
children get a day off, are compara
tively "new things in North Caro- '
lina."
A half century ago there wasn't
a legal holiday ii\ the state, but in
1881 the legislature got busy and
created sever.. Today there are an
even dozen.
Incidentally, the next one is an
important one. The legislature of
1907 set aside as a legal holiday
"Tuesday after the first Monday in
November when a general election is
held."
Thus when North Carolinians went '
to cast their votes for president,
senator, representative, and state of- j
, November 3, the day vra^,
also a legal re3t day.
Although New Year's Day, the
Fourth of July, Thanksgiving Day
and Chmtmas Day have been observ
ed in the state as general holidays
from the beginning, it was the 1881
legislature that made them legal.
The other three added to the list
at that time were: February 22,
George Washington's birthday anni
versary; May 19, Confederate Me
morial Day, and May 20, anniversary
of the Mecklenburg Declaration of
Independence.
Ten years later, January 19, the
birthday of Gen. Robert E. Lee was
made a legal holiday. In 1889, Labor
Day was added tf> the list. The 18th
of April, the Anniversary of the
Halifax resolutions, was included by
act of the 1909 legislature.
The last legal holiday- created fal
lowed the World War. The general
awwKtbly of 1918 (i??rgn$l?d
November 11 bo appropriately ask*
brated an?t observes a* the anc:?er
ssry of the end of the World War.
FRUIT ALSO ESSENTIAL
iN HOME FOOD SUPPLY
It is r.ot necessary to have an elab
orate orchard to secure an adequate
supply of fruit for the farm home.
A few trees ol desirable varieties may
be planted about the yard and out
buildings and in addition to serving
'as 3hade and ornaments, will give a
food, source) now lacking in many
homes.
H. R. Niswor.ger, extension horti
culturist at State College, says it is
as essential in supplying a well
rounded diet for the farm family to I
have a few fruit trees and vine3 as
it is to have a supply of vegetables
from the home garden. So often when
an acre of land is planted to the or
chard, the trees are neglected. The
present neglected home orchards in
this State are examples of this.
Therefore a good plan is to plant
jr. small number of the different kinds
I of fruits and set them in such a way
jas to fit in with the planting scheme
for beautifying the farm homestead,
may be set in the rear or at the side
Niswonger says pear and cherry trees
of the farm dwelling and will serve
as shade trees in addition to bearing
fruit as they mature. The beautiful
blossoms will add to the beauty of
the place. Apple, peach and plum
trees may be set near the other farm
buildings or along the side and rear
line of the garden fence. Here they
provide an attractive setting for
these usually unsightly buildings.
Grape vines may be planted along
the front line of the garden fence
and strawberries and other small
fruits may have a place in the gar
den.
Mr. Niswonger therefore recom
mends trying these plantings; Six
apple and peach trees; three plum
trees; three cherry trees; 1.0 grape
vines; 100 strawberry plants and 25
raspberry plants. Other fruits such
as figs and Japanese persimmons
may be added where their growth con
ditions are favorable.
There aro now 2305 libraries in
Elementary and High Schophi with
, ' 1,845,737 volumes valued at $1,165,
